A/N: I am so sorry it has taken so long to update. My little one got that stomach virus that is going around then I got it so it hasn't been too much fun around my house for the last week. Anyways, here is the next chapter….
Just as Lindsay thought the night had been a rough one. Danny had woken many times in the fit of a nightmare, but never once opened his eyes. Lindsay would just sit there rubbing his head and talking to him till he calmed down and went back into a deep sleep.
The nurses came in every hour to check is vitals, but other than that Lindsay had no one to talk to but herself and that was not a safe thing at the moment. With her emotions rare from finding Danny at her door step, to the nightmares he'd been having Lindsay was an emotional wreak to say the least.
Finally around 7 the next morning Danny began to stir for the first time.
"Hey sleeping beauty." Lindsay said as she came into his line of vision.
"Okay, I must have died." Danny said.
Lindsay smirked at him. "Oh really, and why is that."
"Because I'm looking at one of the most beautiful angels I have ever seen." Danny said with a smile.
Lindsay smiled for a few minutes then asked the question that had been on her mind all night. Stella had called saying they found the location of Danny's assault, but wouldn't say any more that to see if Lindsay could get Danny to talk.
"Danny, I really need to ask you what happen last night." Lindsay said in a soft voice.
Danny looked at Lindsay for a few minutes not saying anything. Finally, after what seemed like forever to Lindsay Danny spoke. "I don't remember."
Lindsay could tell right way that he was lying. "Danny, look me in the eyes and tell me that." Lindsay said not taking her eyes off Danny. When Danny wouldn't look up she grabbed him gently by the face and made him look at her. "Danny, please you have to tell me what happen."
"Lindsay, I can't. Please please don't push this." Danny all but pleaded.
Lindsay could tell she wasn't going to get anything out of him right then. "Okay Danny I won't push." Danny released the breath he didn't know he'd been holding till the next words came out of her mouth. "For now, but when you are ready. I'd like to hear the story from you before Stella and Mac figure it out."
"They are working my case?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, and they found where it happen." Lindsay said. Before Lindsay could say anymore the doctor came in.
"Well, if it ain't sleeping beauty." The doctor said when he saw Danny awake. "Ms. Lindsay I'm going to have to ask you to step out a moment so we can exam Mr. Messer."
"Sure, I'll see you in a few Danny." Lindsay said as she squeezed his hand and walked out of the room.
Once out in the waiting room Lindsay hit speed dial three on her cell phone.
"Taylor"
"Mac, its Lindsay. Danny's awake, but won't tell me anything about what happen. He told me he doesn't remember." Lindsay said with a roll of her eyes.
"Okay, I'll send Flack down there to question him."
"God Mac, you make him sound like a suspect." Lindsay said.
"Sorry Lindsay, but I have to or I'll get too attached to the case. I guess more than I already am." Mac said.
"Sorry Mac, that didn't come out right. It's been a long night."
"Not a problem Lindsay. When we are done we'll come up there so you can go get some real rest."
"That's okay. I don't think I want to leave him just yet. Figured anything out?" Lindsay said changing the subject.
Mac let the change in subject go. "Yeah, it seems Danny was walking to the subway to catch his usual train. Half way there it looks like he was jumped. It doesn't look like this is where he was beat though."
"When Danny was at my place he said it was the close. I live about 4 blocks from the lab. I bet you could walk it and find where it took place." Lindsay said wanting to help as much as possible.
"Stella and Hawkes are doing that now. Let us worry about this you just stay with Danny." Mac said as one of the techs brought him some test results from Danny's clothes.
"Okay Mac, see ya later then."
"Bye Lindsay, and don't worry we will catch this guy." Mac said before he hung up.
Lindsay sighed and closed her phone. Now what? Lindsay thought as she looked around the hospital. I wonder if someone should call his parents. By now the doctor had come back out to let her know she could go back in, but that Danny was sleeping.
"The wounds are healing nicely. I figure we will keep him for a few more days to keep him on antibiotics. He could go home by the end of the week, but some one will need to stay with him twenty-four hours a day."
"Okay Doctor. Thank you and I promise he won't be alone." Lindsay said with confidence. I have some cleaning to do.
A/N: I know there wasn't a lot of DL in this chapter, but it is coming. Next chapter we move ahead a week to Danny being released. PLEASE REVIEW I feel this is turning out not to be my best writing.
