Chapter 16,

As the ambulance arrived at the hospital Toby pulled the gurney with the man out of the ambulance and he and his partner set the gurney up to be pushed into the ER. Todd scrambled out of the ambulance and grasped Klaus' hand and refused to let go.

They put Klaus in a room and Todd crouched in a ball at the foot of Klaus' bed and refused to look at anyone.

"Hi, my name's Sheila and I am a nurse," Sheila said crouching down to Todd, "Can you tell me your name?" she asked softly.

"T…T…Boy." Todd said quietly.

"Okay." Sheila said, "Can I look at your back, it looks painful."

Todd shook his head, "It's not."

Shelia raised an eyebrow at him, she had worked with traumatized patients in the past and had noticed the boy's reaction as he had come in and had tapped Klaus' doctor on the shoulder and offered to deal with the boy.

"It does look it though, if you say it doesn't hurt I believe you, but the doctor here," She said gesturing towards the doctor walking towards Klaus, "He worries and I would hate him to worry that they would get infected."

Todd looked warily at the doctor, "He can't touch him!" he exclaimed pulling himself up and putting himself between the doctor and Klaus.

"Why is that son?" Shelia asked, making a mental note not to call him son again at the boy's flinch when she said the word.

"No one touches Sir, but me…it's my job…" Todd started shaking as the injuries and the confrontation got the better of him. He reached for the swabs and the sterile liquid to clean his wounds, shaking off the hand of the nurse he gently started cleaning Klaus's wounds.

"Son, we need to get him prepped for surgery you can't come there, it is forbidden." The doctor said and took the gauze from Todd's hand, "the nurse will help you with your wounds."

"She can't." Todd said flatly and moved to the corner of the room and crouched down.

"Why not honey?" Shelia asked.

"Sir…you haven't been given permission to touch me." Todd shook as a wave of pain went through him. "Unless.."

Klaus groaned, "Boy!" he called.

"Sir!" Todd struggled through the nurses that tried to hold him back from the man they now knew had been hurting him not helping him.

"You are no one's but mine, no one will touch you and I will find you, no one is to heal you." Klaus rasped harshly. Todd nodded and couldn't help a small sob as another wave of what Todd now thought was never ending pain assaulted him. The doctor moved to sedate Klaus, more than anything to stop him talking to the boy. "If I die you die boy…do you understand!" Klaus screamed as the doctor plunged in the needle.

In the scream no one heard Todd reply "Yes sir."

Klaus fainted under sedation back onto the bed as Eric, Summer and the others arrived.

Todd resumed his position on the floor in the corner of the room and Eric didn't see him as he brought Summer to the doctors.

An older Male doctor started to approach them and Eric warned him off. "She needs a female doctor," he started pulling the doctor to one side.

"Sir, I assure you whatever is wrong with the child I am more than qual…."The doctor started.

"See that over there," He said spotting the doctor's wheeling Klaus out of the room, "he raped her, she needs a female doctor and a rape kit run." Eric said his voice catching as he talked.

The doctor nodded, "Put her in here, our head nurse is dealing with a difficult case right now, but I will have our primary team in to help you." Eric lay Summer down on the bed and she was already passed out. The doctor looked at her quizzically, "she's been sedated in the ambulance on the way here, and she should be out for an hour or so." Eric explained.

The Doctor looked at the two agents that had come in with Eric, "I take it you are with the two policemen?" he asked.

Eric sighed and nodded, "They are federal Agents I work with them." He said knowing it would give the doctor the impression he was an agent as well, but if it helped his kids then so be it.

"We have a boy…"

"Todd! He's my son, where is he?" Eric said looking around.

"I'm sorry, he's came in with the man that you said hurt your daughter, we had no idea the boy refused to leave the man,"

"Klaus, my brother's name is Klaus, is he still alive?" Eric asked as he and the doctor walked down the hallway past Callen and Sam.

The doctor was about to ask when he was paged. "One second please." He excused himself and picked up the phone. Coming back he turned back to Eric, Callen and Sam who had walked up behind him. "I am sorry to inform you that your brother's injuries were too severe and he died on the operating table."

"Good." Eric spat.

The doctor looked a bit shocked. "Hey, Doc, you said you knew where Eric's son was."

"Yeah, our head nurse Sheila is sitting in with him, we can't get him to co-operate and he is in need of treatment." The doctor informed him.

The three men walked towards the room, "Callen, will you come with me Todd likes you, it might help?" Eric asked.

Callen nodded wanting to help. "Sam can you let Hetty know what's happened and then see if Kensi can sit with Summer, I think she'll need a girl with her."

Sam nodded and walked off.

Sheila had muted the lighting in the room and had draped a blanket over Todd's shoulders but he had not moved from the fetal position he had taken up in the corner of the room.

As they entered Sheila stood up and looked towards the two men, spotting Callen's badge she squared herself up to do battle.

"This boy is in no state to be answering your questions officers?" she said she thought the older man was a police officer, maybe a detective, but the younger blond looked a lot like the boy. If only his hair had been red, but in protecting her young charge she wasn't taking anything for granted.

"I'm Eric, I'm his father." Eric said quietly.

"Oh, what's his name?" Sheila asked. "He only say's his name's boy, he is severely traumatized and I think he may have Stockholm syndrome. He refused to let go of that…man's hand he…" Shelia had to stop as she shuddered at the thought.

"He won't hurt him anymore he died on the table," Callen said.

"Good," Sheila said.

"NO!" Todd yelled, "No, no, no, no, no, no, SIR!" Todd screamed tears of grief falling down his face.

"Todd." Eric said walking up to his son.

"Sir?" Todd wrapped his arms around Eric's legs. "They lied they said you were dead!" he hyperventilated.

"Todd, it's not Klaus, I'm Eric…remember son, your dad?" Eric crouched down and looked his son in his eyes.

"No….No, you're a lie…Boy doesn't have a dad, boy is good, boy believes." Todd sobbed trying but failing in his pain to push himself away from Eric. Eric couldn't help his own tears falling as he looked in despair at Callen.

"Todd, do you remember me…I'm Callen, your friend, I was going to teach you to drive your car….remember the Impala?"

Todd covered his ears and rocked letting out a keening wail. "No! It's not true, it was a lie….Boy is good now, boy doesn't believe the lies!" his voice got higher and higher; Sheila moved deftly Todd and injected him with a sedative. Todd jumped as the needle went in and instinctively grabbed his father as he started to go under he looked at Eric, "Daddy?" he asked as he passed out.

Eric gathered his boy in his arms and rocked him shushing him and stroking his hair.

"Callen, will this ever be over, will I ever get my children back?" he asked, as Sheila and Callen looked at the devastated man hugging his teenage son.
