For all that Danny had complained about the possibility of Steve getting him shot, winding up stabbed by his not-so-daughter-like-daughter hadn't exactly been up there on the list of things he had expected. After all, that's insane, isn't it? It should be. And yet, here he is in the clinic with stitches up and down his sides to prevent his guts from spilling out and Esther is dead and Steve isn't under his roof and Danny doesn't know what to do right now except bitch more about the pain.

Because that? That is in his control. "Come on, who's got the power over the morphine here?" he shouts, voice a weak resemblance of what it could be. "I'm dying over here."

"It's gonna be okay," I murmur, even though I can't promise that. I've got no way of knowing. It's hard for me to be hopeful, but I still don't feel like it's a lie.

"Danny, you got fucked over. Sounds to me like she was pretty fuckin' good at it."

"Yeah, well, the minute she started wanting to actually fuck me was a pretty good eye-opener," he says wryly, exhaling and shifting so that he can give Neil about half of the bed. So sue him, he's selfish and he wants a little physical attention.

"Jesus," I say with a snort of laughter. It's not really funny, but it's one of those things that's so fucked up, it's kind of hard not to laugh. Absurd, but at the same time, with the past I've got, it almost would've made more since if she'd been a twelve year old who wanted to fuck him.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed next to him, I hesitate for a moment, then stretch out beside him, 'cause that's what he seems to want.

"Can't really blame the crazy fuckin' bitch, but she should've rethought her tactics, you know?"

[haolehothead]

"Yeah, guess I'm that irresistible," Danny says derisively, scoffing as he shoots Neil a dubious look. "Jesus," he hisses, shaking his head. "I don't even know. I don't know what I'd have done if she'd been found by the IPD. She's persona non grata in dino territory right now, it's fucking insane."

"Are they still looking?" I ask, wondering what they'd even do with somebody that fucking batshit crazy.

I'm not on the council anymore, so I guess it's not my problem.

"Yeah. Yeah, I hope so," Danny says, his voice hoarse. He's not sure he wants to hear about inconclusive searches, but communication goes both ways -- good and bad. "And if they don't find him, then I might as well just curl up and live with that permanent guilt, shouldn't I?"

[little_moons]

"They'll find 'im, Danny," I say, even though I can't fucking know that. People just vanish off the face of the fucking earth every single day, around here.

"You oughta get some sleep, you know."

[haolehothead]

"Can't really say that sleep is on the table," Danny admits, because he thinks that if he goes to sleep, he's going to get plagued by nightmares and that's just not what he wants. "Hey," he murmurs. "You gonna stay with me?"

[little_moons]

"Yeah, 'course I'll stay. The girls are with Tunny, I got some time," I say, glad I had time to talk to the three of them before I ran out here. I'll need to go home, eventually, but for now, I'm all his.
