Horatio launched up from his bed,eyes wide and pupils shrunken.
He had another nightmare,and this one had really taken a toll on him.
He was out of control,and had at least four medical staff attempting to calm him down.
''Lieutenant,please calm down!''one of them ordered.
Horatio didn't hear the doctor.
The medical staff then stepped over the line by trying to hold him down.
As soon as they went for his wrists,Horatio's mind only registered the lack of ability to move his hands,and he completely flipped out.
''NO! LET GO OF ME!''
''GODDAMMIT,GET THE RESTRAINTS ON HIM!''
Horatio fought some more and when the feeling of the straps completely around his wrists came,he thrashed even more.
The staff took several steps back before Horatio finally lay back against the bed.
For a moment they relaxed,but then the man's eyes rolled into the back of his head and began swaying from side to side. Horatio then started suffering from phantom pain when the memories of the stun gun started.
Ryan and the team hadn't been out of the hospital for 24 hours and he was having problems.
The staff wanted to go and remove the straps,but at that point they were too scared to.
They would have to wait until Horatio fell asleep to remove them.
When Horatio did fall asleep,it was a huge relief for the doctors and nurses.
But as for nurse Amy,for her,it was a matter of hang-on-to-that-dream. She had tried to go in once the man was asleep and take the restraints off,but Horatio for some reason woke up and uncontrollably retaliated and bit her on the arm,taking a chunk of the skin with him.
She was standing in the hallway getting her arm bandaged when Ryan came to see his boss. ''What happened to you?''
Amy gave him the death glare. ''Your traumatized boss. That's what happened...tried to take the restraints off,and he woke up and bit me. Don't worry,I'll live. But if he spends one more night here and hurts another doctor,I'm gonna kill him.''
Ryan bolted down the hall to see Horatio. He wasn't even halfway down the hall before he heard the man arguing with another doctor.
''DAMMIT DOC,I SAID I'M FINE!''
''LIEUTENANT,YOU JUST GOT OVER A P.T.S.D. FIT LAST NIGHT! I CAN'T LET YOU GO,YET!''
''WHY NOT? I HATE IT IN HERE!''
''IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!''
''THAT'S WHAT MY PSYCHOLOGIST SAID! GO AWAY!''
''LIEUTENANT-'' ''-I SAID GET OUT!''
Ryan watched the doctor come running out of the room as an unoccupied tray came flying out after him.
''Oh boy...''Ryan sighed,''He wants out...''
Please review!
I got the idea of Horatio misbehaving in the hospital from our upstairs neighbor. After three days,he'd start arguing and swearing at the doctors.(mostly from a nicotine fit,though)
