So, things have gone to hell in a handbasket. How will this end? What will Emily do too convince him that James and she are not dating. Will he even believe her? This chapter will deal with this.
PrinceOfBlades. You got anything to add? You will already know what will happen so no spoilers.
Prince didn't have anything again.
All right let's get this train a rolling.
Daniel again was awoken by a constant beeping. This time he knew where he was. He didn't open his eyes as he didn't want to see what was before him. He barely remembered the details of the previous night. He didn't want to deal with what lay before him and the task of sifting through the ashes. He had burnt a bridge last night and the embers were still smoldering in his mind. He wanted to believe it was a bad dream but the massive pain in his right side just above his hip proved it wasn't. He tried to push the button the deliver some pain meds. He couldn't find it and felt around with his other hand. A voice spoke from somewhere in the room. It was deep and gruff. He knew it all too well.
"Looking for this Sofield? Sorry but we need to talk first." The chief of the ZPD said. "Chief Bogo I never thought I would hear your melodic voice again." Daniel retorted. He still had his eyes closed. Another voice a little more cheery and higher pitch spoke as well. "Daniel, we though the same thing." He spoke. Daniel smiled "And is that Clawhauser? Nice to hear you again friend. Can you do me a favor and push the button on the device Bogo is holding." Clawhauser laughed. "I know the pain you're in but we have to talk about last night." Daniel opened his diamond blue eyes. "I am not talking about that now. I will not answer and questions and I want you two to leave me the hell alone!" He screamed out the last words.
The chief looked saddened but he said "Fine. Here is your pain button. We have another person who wants to talk to you as well. Let us know when you want to see them." He passed the device to Daniel and left the room with Clawhauser. Daniel pushed the button in and slipped into his own mind.
He was standing in the lobby of the apartment. He walked over to the stairs. The door was broken in and he heard someone going up the stairs. He walked up behind them and tried to grab them but nothing happened. He was having an out of body experience. He would be able to see what happens from a different perspective. He followed himself up the stairs. When he got to the top floor he watched himself kick in the door. Then watched as James came out of Daniel's bedroom with the shotgun. He tried to warn Daniel but couldn't speak. He watched in horror as James fired the shotgun. Daniel's side exploded with blood as he was thrown back into the wall. He slumped down leaving the blood trail on the wall.
Daniel sat up startled. He winched as one of the bandages shifted on his side. A sickly-sweet voice said, "Oh good your awake. Glad your back in the world of the living." He saw the white ears and said, "Emily I told you to leave me the fuck alone." The voice spoke, "I don't know who Emily is but whatever she did it must have pissed you off something bad." The voice said. "Hi I'm Melodie. Melodie Gibson." Daniel looked up and said "You don't happen to have a sister, do you?" The bunny smiled "I doo actually how did you know?" Daniel fell back into the bed. "I was dating her. Then I was supposedly killed. For sixth months, I worked my way back to this city to find she is dating my step brother. He is the one who shot me as well. In his defense, I kicked in my apartment door. So, I guess he was in his rights." Melodie smiled. "I was wondering why my sister is here. I am going to send her in is that ok?" Daniel looked her in the face. "Don't I don't want to see her." Melodie said, "You haven't heard her side of the story. Please let her explain." Daniel grabbed his pistol which someone left on the table. "I Don't want to see her. I told her she could go to hell and if I saw her again I would kill her." He set the gun down and said, "Please leave I want to be alone. Tell Emily to go home." He pulled out a camo dog tag. She had given it to him last Christmas. He yanked it off his neck. The chain broke and he handed it to Melodie. "Give this to her. Tell her don't come back. Also, I want to be out of here by tomorrow. But tell everyone I won't be out till day after tomorrow." The nurse walked out with the dog tag.
She walked down the hallway to the waiting room. She walked over to her sister. Emily looked hopeful at her but when she saw what she was holding her heart sank. The camo dog tag she gave Daniel was in her hands. She jumped up and ran off. She tried to make it to the room but was blocked. "I am sorry ma'am but I can't let you in. Its family only."
Emily turned on her heels and ran out of the building. She didn't stop till she got to the apartment. "Emily! Guess who I saw last night!" Johnathan said cheerfully. Emily pulled the PPK She was carrying out and pointed it at him. "Say his name and I will put three bullets in you before you finish talking." She then ran to the stair and up to the apartment.
James had seen Emily run past and he spoke angrily. "I am going in there. I don't care if he shoots me this is a living hell anyway what would it matter. I'm not dating Emily because I am engaged." The whole room got deathly quiet. Many of the officer believed James would die alone. He never talked about anyone so they figured he would die alone. James stood up. "Yea she's a cute little border collie named Gracie. We have been dating since high school and before we found Austin I asked her to marry me. She said yes. Now if you will excuse me I am going to Daniel."
Daniel was still in his hospital room. He couldn't wait to be free of this prison of a hospital. A knock on the door startled him and he lifted the pistol up to the door. James opened the door and walked in. "Would you really shoot me? Right now? If so then do it because my life is a living hell right now. You wouldn't let us explain so just listen." Daniel said. "Not today. I'm still mad about last night. I'm getting out day after tomorrow meet me here then." James smiled sadly, "It's been two weeks since that night actually. Several times we almost lost you. Emily wants to explain so she will be here as well." Daniel looked out the window "That's fine. See you then" James walked out and Daniel kept looking out the window.
So, this is probably the shortest chapter in this story but I can't add anything else to this part. It will go back to normal length next chapter as it will deal with fallout of this situation.
Until then
Valkyrie and PrinceOfBlades.
