Chapter 6

Sean, Dr. Novak, left Danny's room and went downstairs to go over Danny's CT results with Dr. Foster. When he arrived at the CT Lab, Dr. Foster had a concerned look on his face.

"What's wrong? Are those Agent Taylor's results?" Sean asked Dr. Foster as his concern grew.

"Yes, I'm afraid they are. What do you see here?" Dr. Foster said concerned as he handed the scans to Sean, causing Sean to view them and immediately drop his jaw wide open as his eyes bugged out.

"Are you kidding me? That can't be right. Did they repeat the scans?" Sean asked concerned and shocked.

"They repeated the scans twice. And he can't have another because of the radiation. But the radiologist confirmed it also as well as two other doctors. And they all agreed that that's what it is." Dr. Foster said concerned.

"We have to tell him, Doc. How do you supposed that happened?" Sean said concerned.

"I don't know, but now more than ever, we have to keep a very careful eyes on Agent Taylor and anyone who tries to enter his room. Come on. We have to go give him the results." Dr. Foster said concerned.

"Are you sure that we should do that now? I mean, he passed out just now exhausted. He's sleeping…" Sean said confused but then he and Dr. Foster gasped in horror. "Oh, shit! He's not supposed to be sleeping. Hurry!" Sean said urgently as they ran through the stairwell as he grabbed his phone and called upstairs.

When Sean called the nurse's station, it was Vicky who picked up the phone.

"Hello, nurse's desk." Vicky said kindly, causing her to rush into Danny's room and prepare two large syringes after Sean explained to her the results of Danny's CT Scan.

"I'm sorry. But the two of you need to get of here right now. Go." Vick said sternly and urgently but compassionately.

Sean and Dr. Foster rushed into the room and quickly escorted Martin and Jeff out of the room as they looked on in horror.

"Agent Taylor! Agent Taylor, wake up! Come on, wake up!" Sean said urgently as he rubbed his fist hard against Danny's chest but he didn't respond. "He's not responding, Doc!" Sean said urgently as he injected a medication into Danny's IV and Vicky raised the oxygen to it's highest pressure.

"I don't like this one bit. His pressure's 130/90 and his Pulse is 140." Dr. Foster said urgently as he quickly injected medication into Danny's chest with a large needle.

That definitely got a reaction as Danny took a big breath of air and then coughed and cried in pained.

"Shhh. Just breathe, Agent Taylor, it's over. It's over. Come on, sweetheart. Just breathe slowly, sweetie. You're okay now." Nurse Vicky soothed as she softly soothed his head and face but he continued crying.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Danny cried angrily and pained, but weakly as he lightly thrashed, causing Dr. Foster to put soft restraints on Danny's wrists and legs.

"Shhh. Calm down, Agent Taylor. We just got your CT results now and we can't let you sleep yet, I'm sorry." Dr. Foster explained gently and compassionately.

"Why the hell not? I'm fucking tired with all the crap that you have me on. And I never wanted any damn drugs in the first place. So, why the hell did you give them to me?" Danny cried angrily out of pain but they just gently held his hands as he shook.

"Calm down, kiddo. You're going to be okay, but right now we need to tell you what we found. But I need you to stay calm because you're going to be okay, I know you are." Sean explained very gently and compassionately, causing Danny to cry more and look at him fearfully.

"Calm down, Son. But I need to know what happened to you? Have you been hurt these past few days? Have you been experiencing headaches, nausea, dizziness or problems with your vision?" Dr. Foster asked very gently and compassionately as he held Danny's hand, causing Danny to cry very emotionally like a child and not answer his question as he tried to remove his hands from theirs but couldn't.

Martin and Jeff couldn't stand hearing Danny suffer anymore and they barged into the room, causing them to gasp horrified when they saw Danny's condition.

"Danny? Danny, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you crying like that, kiddo?" Jeff said caringly but very concerned as he and Martin stood to either side of him.

"Martin, you and your friend aren't supposed to be in here. You need to wait outside." Sean said sympathetically but they wouldn't leave.

"I'm not going anywhere until I find out what's wrong with him." Martin said with conviction as he squeezed Danny's right shoulder. "What's the matter, brother? Why are you crying like that?" Martin asked caringly but concerned.

"I'm sorry, but…" Dr. Foster tried but couldn't continue when Danny cut him off.

"Damn it. Just tell them already. I don't care anymore." Danny cried angrily but defeated as he shook, causing Jeff and Martin to immediately worry when Dr. Foster sighed heavily and nodded.

"Agent Taylor, the CT Scan shows that you two fractures in your skull. Now, at the moment, they aren't causing any bleeding. But they are causing slight pressure on the brain. So, that's why we had to do what we just did to you. Now, in order for me to better treat your condition, I need to know how the fractures were caused." Dr. Foster explained gently, causing Danny to cry more and shake his head.

"No! No, I can't do that! I can't!" Danny cried emotionally and fearfully, causing Tears to escaped Martin and Jeff's eyes as they took a hold of his hands as they shook terribly.

"Hey, calm down right now, kiddo. What did I tell you before, hmm? We're not going to back down now. Tell us right now what happened." Jeff said sternly but fear was clearly evident in his voice as he tightened his hold on Danny's hand.

"Damn it. I can't. He's going to kill Jack and the girls." Danny cried panicked as his teeth chattered violently.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Martin said sternly but fearfully as he tightly held Danny's hand.

"If I talk, he's going to kill Jack and the girls. He's got someone watching Jack here and the girls in Chicago." Danny cried gasping.

"Damn it. Calm your ass down right now. Nobody's going to get killed. We're going to make that son of a bitch pay hell for what he's putting you through. But you're going to tell us right now what happened to you, Danny. Tell us right now. Do you understand me? You're going to tell us everything that that son of bitch put you through and you're going to do it now." Jeff said sternly but terror was clearly evident in his voice and features as tears streamed down his face.

"Danny, please. I swear that we're not going to let anyone hurt Jack, his girls or anyone else on the team. But you have to help us help you. You have to start by answering Doc's question, all right? How did you get the fractures in your head, brother? Please, tell us right now. Or don't you trust us, partner?" Martin pled but compassionately, his last causing Danny's heart to shred.

"Damn you, Martin. How the hell could you tell me that? I trust with my damn life, you bastard." Danny cried angrily but pained.

"I'm sorry that I'm hurting you, I didn't want to do that. But you're not leaving us another choice, Danny. You say that you trust us with your life but you're doing the opposite. You're keeping things from us and you're not letting us help you get this bastard and whoever else is working with him. Why won't you let us help you? And don't give me that 'you're all going to die' bullshit again, because we already told you that we're not going to let that happen. So, stop holding back and first tell us what happened to your head."

Martin cried softly but sternly as he tightly held Danny's hand, causing Danny to cry terribly upset.

Danny felt anger but also emotionally about the way that his friends were treating him. And since he knew that they weren't going to stop he cried angrily and decided to talk.

"Fine, you bastards! He hit me with a fucking pipe when I wouldn't do what he wanted me to! Is that what you fucking wanted to know?! Just leave me the hell alone! Leave me…the hell…alone!" Danny cried angrily out of fear as he shook violently, causing him to cry in agonizing and try to hold groin area when Jeff sat him up too quickly.

"Wait a minute. Be careful with this area, damn it. Lay him back down." Sean suddenly said sternly as he injected another medication into Danny's IV and also put bag of ice on his groin area when Jeff laid him down again, causing Jeff and Martin to look at each other fearfully.

"What the hell just happened? Why did you put that ice there?" Martin asked angrily but terrified.

"Martin, calm down. That's not up to me to disclose. That's up to Danny." Sean explained very gently, causing Danny to calm down a bit when the pain subsided.

"Danny, what the hell is going on? Talk to me, kiddo. Come on. You have to trust us. We're not going to let that bastard touch you again. Please." Jeff said soothingly but fear was too clearly evident in his voice, causing Danny to cry more and shake his head.

"Brother, please. Answer this last question now and then we won't ask you anything else for a while. Please." Martin said softly as he tried to remain strong when he got sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Please, just leave me alone. Please." Danny cried upset but defeated.

"Danny, Kiddo, please. I promise that we'll stop for a while with the questions. But tell us what the hell is going on and why you reacted like that just now." Jeff said softly but he wasn't sure if he could handle what Danny might tell them.

"Fine, but please, leave me alone. I'll tell you whatever you want, later, but please don't ask me anymore questions now. Please." Danny cried upset but defeated because he knew that his friends wouldn't leave him alone.

"We promise, kiddo. Now, please, tell us what happened." Jeff said softly as they gently, but tightly, held Danny's hands.

"Show them, Doc. But, please, let me go to sleep after that. Please." Danny pled crying as his teeth chattered.

"I'll tell you what, Agent Taylor. I've been trying to figure out also what happened to you. So, if you explain what happened, I'll let you sleep for fifteen minute intervals and then in a little while, I'll let you sleep until tomorrow morning, okay? Does that sound good to you?" Dr. Foster said kindly, causing Danny to nod crying. "Okay, then I'll go ahead and show them what happened." Dr. Foster said compassionately as he gently removed the bag of ice and lifted Danny's gown, causing Jeff and Martin to go bug-eyed with raw fear and shock as they tightly held Danny's hands in their now shaking own.

"Danny, Shhh. You don't have to explain anything now, brother. Just get some sleep for a few minutes and we'll keep talking later. Just relax. You're safe now and we're going to make that son of a bitch pay for hurting you like this. I promise." Martin said softly but with conviction as tears streamed down his pale face.

"That's right, kiddo. We're not going to ask you anything more for now. So, just get some sleep because we're not going anywhere. We're staying right here with you." Jeff said caringly as more tears fell from his eyes.

"Okay, that's enough for now, Agent Taylor. I'll allow to sleep but you'll be awakened every fifteen minutes to make sure that you're responsive. And then after a few hours, I'll allow you sleep more. Is there anything else you need before I leave?" Dr. Foster said caringly but Danny cried as his teeth chattered desperately and shook his head.

"Okay, kiddo. Then go ahead again and get some sleep now. We'll let your friends stay here with you. I promise." Sean said kindly, causing Danny to give in to some much needed sleep.

A/N: Well, that's enough for this chapter. I know that it's pretty short but the next chapter is going to be longer and it's going to explain who the guy is that's hurting Danny and why. By the way, in the next chapter Danny might explain what happened to him. But it might not be pretty. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
