Both Chin and Kono tried to ease Steve back down, he gripped the side rail like a vice.
"No! Danny"
"Steve? …you with us brah?" Chin got into his line of vision, he look tired but most of the confusion seemed to be gone "just going to lay you down….ok? …relax" Steve let go and both Kono and Chin layed him down.
Kono smiled "Hey Boss"
Chin got his attention "Steve do you remember what happened?...we can't find Danny"
Steve frowned, the confused look returned….."We were in the truck"
"Where Steve?...do you remember where?"
He closed his eyes ….flashes of Danny….Rachael…the phone call…he groaned and reached up with both hands covering his head trying to force the pain out that he thought was hiding his memories. Both Chin and Kono tried to comfort him.
"Easy Boss"
He moved his hands …"Danny was mad.."
"You guys were fighting?"
Kono rolled her eyes like that was anything unusual
"No Rachael cancelled his weekend…he got out"
"Danny got out of the truck?"
"Yeah…" he frowned…"I think…yeah"
"Do you remember where?"
Steve huffed "I…can't…mmmm…"
"Easy Brah" Chin squeezed his arm
The doctor walked into the room, the nurse had filled him in and he didn't appear to be very happy. "Mr Mcgarrett is supposed to be resting."
Steve spoke first "I need to find my partner"
"You need to be resting…you have a concussion, not to mention a couple of broken ribs and contusions. He used a pen light checking Steves pupils, he pulled the blanket back checking the brace on his ribs. I'm going to give you something for the pain.
"No! ….I need to go and find my partner"
"Steve you need to stay here…we'll look for Danny"
"You can't look for Danny….I can't remember where he is"
"Doc will his memory keep coming back?"
"Well it's hard to say….head injuries are a funny thing, with some rest it's possible"
"What if I was out?….is it possible that my memory would be triggered?"
The doctor considered where his patient was going "Yes that's possible"
"Then let me out of here"
Chin spoke up "It might be the only chance we have at finding Danny"
The doctor considered it "ok I'll give you a mild pain killer" Steve went to protest, the doctor held up his hand "you'll need it ok? ….just to keep the edge off, it won't make you sleepy…I promise…as much as you won't admit it, I know you still have a killer headache and your side is sore…ok?"
Steve nodded "ok"
The doctor gave him a shot and then slipped a bottle of pills to Chin…."In about 4 hours that'll wear off…give him one of those pills…give him two if he is in a lot of pain, two is going to make him sleepy. He's going to feel dizzy on and off, don't let him over do it"
Chin nodded " thanks Doc"
Kono grabbed Steves clothes and handed them to Chin, then gave them both privacy. She smiled when she saw him
Steve gave her a face "what?"
"Nothing Boss…you just look …well …. rumpled"
Steve half smiled "thanks…I think"
The nurse came through the door with a wheel chair.
"Hey your rides here brah"
Steve rolled his eyes "Terrific"
