Chapter Nineteen
…
When Danny said that in a tone they really didn't like, like a tone they felt bad for and they didn't like that feeling, everything became quiet almost immediately. The doctors stared at Danny with confusion, but didn't dare to ask him what he meant at the moment. The halfa just kept on staring at the playground that was in front of him; he knew that they were looking at him, wanting to ask him what he had meant, but didn't know how to ask him.
Finally Ryan let out a sigh, but then hesitated; he didn't know how to ask him what he meant, even if it might seem simple just to ask him. After he couldn't take it any longer, Ryan asked, "What do you mean Danny?"
Danny didn't take his eyes off of the playground and said, "I mean he was human too. Didn't understand me?"
"Well it was just shocking that you said that he was once human," Ryan admitted, "How do you know about that?"
Danny hesitated, "Because I know him to, do you think we can drop it now?"
Ryan tensed, "No, not now, after all you started with the question. Besides, I'm not going anywhere without an answer. I hate being confused."
"Me too," Danny said, showing no emotion his voice, "I thought you already had all the answers."
Ryan was too stunned to defend himself from finding out answers that he wanted so badly. He was now really confused, he didn't know why he was so cut off with the boy's words every time. "What do you mean? I thought you held all the answers." He said calmly.
"Probably to the question you're asking, but I'm just confused that you don't know the answer," Danny explained, "You were with me every single day, testing me, seeing if I was okay, everything. I just don't understand that you don't know."
"Maybe because you choose to hide it from us and we can't reach it," Ryan suggested, "Don't you think?"
"I do try to hide it," The halfa admitted, "But with all the testing's and stuff, I thought you had it figured out. I thought my life was going to change after that."
"Why would it change if we'd find out?" Stewart asked softly, he had been so quiet; they didn't even hear or see him there for the conversation.
Startled by the voice that joined them; Danny looked at him, "Because it just would. So can we drop the subject now?"
The two doctors hesitated, they really didn't want to drop the subject, and they wanted to know more. But what happened last time was terrifying and it scared them, it scared them that he might get angry at them and might even hurt them. It did seem like the anger Danny had was enough to kill someone if he wanted too, but he didn't. The doctors did want to continue asking questions but they also didn't want to upset the teen, they didn't want the same thing to happen like last time.
But there was so many questions running inside their minds, screaming to be let out and match up with an answer. Ryan bit his lip to prevent from the teen getting really upset with him. But it was so tempting! Stewart felt the same way, they knew they were getting really close to whatever Danny was hiding and they wanted the answer to finally come out of the closet.
After all, it couldn't be that big… right?
"Uh… are you guys okay?" Danny suddenly asked. "It looks like you're like in a trance."
Ryan blinked back to reality, "Oh, yeah, uh, just thinking, nothing major."
Danny narrowed his eye brows, "Okay then, I don't have to worry about it right?"
Beads of sweat rolled down Ryan's forehead and he couldn't hold it any longer, "Can you just please tell us why you are hiding something and it seems like it's so big to you!" He blurted out.
Stewart, behind Danny now, gave him a what-did-you-just-do look; Ryan gave him a sorry look and went back to Danny. The halfa only chuckled at the outburst the doctor gave him. "You will find out soon, that's what I think. But if I'm lucky enough, you won't have to worry about it… which means you will never know if you don't try."
"Are you saying that you want us to figure it out?" Ryan asked curiously.
"No," The halfa admitted, "I just think you're too close and you will find out soon."
"So you think we have all the clues, but we don't know how to put it all together?" Stewart asked the boy.
"Pretty much," Danny said, nodding, "I think I gave you guys enough clues by accident… So I really thought you would know."
"But we don't," Ryan said slowly, "Do you think, if you want, could you give us another clue?"
Danny thought for a minute before saying, "You know what," The two doctors leaned a bit closer, just in case they didn't hear a very important detail, the halfa continued, "I think I left a lot of clues these past days, I think you guys can figure it out if you use your head. Two heads are better than one." Adding to his "speech" he tapped his head with is finger.
Ryan frowned, "But why? Why can't you tell us now? We just need a few more! Please?"
Danny smirked, "Nope, I know you can figure it out." He sighed before changing the subject, "Let's head back shall we?"
The two doctors exchanged confused looks as they saw Danny get up to his feet and as he started walking back. The doctors followed his example and decided that they wouldn't get any more clues, unless… they pushed him hard, really hard.
…
Everyone walked in silence as they were slowly making their way to the hospital, no one was really excited going back, but they knew that they couldn't stay out there forever. Danny mostly looked down as he walked; Ryan and Stewart kept shooting each other looks. They really wanted to figure out what was happening in Danny's life that they didn't know. But Danny just let it drop easily and would get annoyed when they brought the topic up again.
At least nothing major happened yet…
When the hospital came into view, Danny stopped his tracks. Confused, the doctors did the same.
"What's wrong?" Ryan asked.
Danny didn't reply right away, his eyes darted at a different direction and he saw his house in the distance. Sighing sadly, he stared at it a bit longer before Stewart brought him out of his thoughts.
"Danny," He said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"
The halfa slowly turned his head towards Stewart, not making eye contact with him, "No there's nothing wrong, everything's fine."
Ryan glanced at where Danny was looking at, but couldn't figure out what he was looking at. The doctor looked back at Danny and asked, "Well, could you at least tell us what you were looking at?"
"Why is everything I see, do, or say so important to you all of the sudden?" Danny asked in a tight tone.
Taken back, Ryan stared at Danny with shock, "I-I was just asking."
"Yeah, asking too many times," the teen muttered angrily, "Why do you do that now?"
"I-I was just asking, like normal people would ask people questions," Ryan defending himself.
"Yeah but normal people don't ask everything someone does, sees, or says!" Danny hissed.
"I'm sorry Danny, but please stop getting all angry just because I asked you a question," The doctor said, seeing the Stewart was backing away slowly, giving him an it's-all-yours look.
"Yeah but it's annoying me!" The teen shouted. "So please stop it!"
Ryan took a step back, getting a bit angry as well, "I'm just trying to protect you!"
Not hesitating, "From what?" The teen challenged.
"From any harm!" Ryan snapped, "I'm worried because my boss said something about you!" After he realized what he had said, he covered his mouth as if he just said a bad word in front of a child.
Danny raised his eyebrows, "Oh and what did he say about me that you worry about so much?"
Stewart stepped in to prevent any more arguments, "Let's just say it's his business."
Danny scoffed, "His business? What about you guys? You guys are trying to figure something out right away and I think that's my privacy! But nooo, you must know, and I want it to be a secret! What are you talking about that it's none of my business!"
The two doctors stepped back from the teen again, and Danny continued, "So go ahead and do whatever you must do and I will stay out of the way! But I just want to know that if you do figure it out, I'm sure I have to protect myself even more!"
"But what if we keep it between us?" Ryan asked nervously.
"I do not— Wait you guys will keep your mouth shut if you find out what it is?" The halfa asked, "I highly doubt that."
"We promise," Ryan said firmly, "But is it really that bad?"
"I'm not sure if it's bad, but it's huge to me," Danny said, folding his arms, and his voice softening.
"So do you care if we find out?" The doctor asked and Stewart quickly agreed.
"Freak out a bit," Danny admitted, "But I'm serious, I really don't want you to find out."
Ryan inched forward towards the halfa, hesitating, he said calmly, "What will you do if we find out?"
Danny made eye contact with the doctor and said, "I don't know." Then his ghost sense went off, Danny gasped and looked around wildly to find his attacker. "I-I got to go to the bathroom, wait here!" The halfa turned around before any of the doctors could stop him and he ran off.
Ryan, surprised to see what happened so fast, blinked when he saw Danny turn right and ended in an alley. "That's not the bathroom," Ryan muttered softly, he turned to Stewart and said, "C'mon, clearly Danny doesn't know where the bathroom is and ended in an alley."
Stewart ran after Ryan and they both found the alley Danny went in to go to the "bathroom", but when they peered into the alley, they didn't see him anywhere in sight. After wondering where he had gone, they felt a really forceful whoosh go behind them, making them lose their balance.
