Danny? Where was Danny? A look of horror crossed Steves face followed quickly by confusion…he slammed he eyes shut groaning…his mind was blank, the more he tried to think the more it hurt…..he felt Chins hand on his shoulder squeezing
"Hey Steve…just relax….can you remember anything? "
Steve opened his eyes, the confused look still in place "Danny?"…the look quickly turned to another…one Chin wasn't quite sure of but soon realized the urgency behind it. Steve grabbed the side of the bed and twisted, the movement causing him considerable pain. Chin had seconds to grab the emesis basin and hold it in place with one hand, while offering support with the other to help alleviate some of the pressure off his side. Steve heaved, his head felt like it was going to explode and his ribs protested against the extra strain. Chin held on, keeping him from planting himself onto the hospital floor. He felt extra hands, two more, one set that was familiar and another that wasn't…they eased him around and onto his back….the light shown in his eyes sent his head reeling again
"Relax Boss…..docs going to make you feel better"
" were going to get some meds into you so you don't get sick again and we'll give you something for the pain….you are going to start feeling better in a few minutes …OK? ….you need to sleep for a while….and everyone here needs to let you sleep" as the doctor looked at both Chin and Kono respectfully
"Danny?" Steve mumbled….Chin leaned in closer as Steves eyes drooped to half mast, he grabbed hold of Chins arm weakly and whispered breathlessly…."don't… know… where…Dann…" as he slipped into darkness.
The doctor looked at them both,"He needs his rest…we need to wake him every two hours…if you want to question him then you can, but I don't want him pushed"
Chin agreed "when will you release him?"
"It will depend on how he responds in the next day or so….we need to keep an eye on him, he got banged up pretty bad, soon as we know he is on the mend he can go home provided someone will be with him…a nurse will be in here in 2 hours to wake him….you both can stay provided you do not disturb him until then"
Chin and Kono both agreed, they looked towards Steve…they needed him awake and coherent, they needed to find Danny.
