Please Don't Go

Stand By Me/Steve

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and cried on the person's shoulder. I felt them lead me somewhere. I soon realized it was to a car. I was taken to my house. I then was lead to my bed. It was so hard to sleep without Danny. I was used to him sleeping next to me. I cried myself to sleep.  The thing about me and Danny was we never had a sexual relationship. It was a special kind of relationship. It wasn't needed.

I woke up and drove to work. Not really noticing I was driving my truck. I went to my office and looked over the case report. How was Danny's blood found at the crime scene? I went back through all our cases and found Danny's blood was present at several. I realized Dritt was not blood to Danny. He was to Rachael. I was lost in thought. I heard yelling. I got up and looked to see Dritt yelling at someone. He hung up the phone.

I was going to ask about it. At that moment my phone went off. I didn't notice my badges, gun, and cell phone was switched back to mine. I then found we had a case. The case involved going in a tunnel. Dritt threw the keys to me. He was silent the whole ride.

We walked into the tunnel. We were halfway down the tunnel when it started to collapse. I felt something fall on me.

I woke up and looked for my flashlight. I realized it wasn't where I put it. In it's place was a note. I reached for my gun. I felt a flashlight attached to it. I turned it on. I read the note. Nothing is as it seems. That is what the note said. I then pulled out my Walkie-Talkie. Dritt can you hear me? I had no answer. I looked and found a side tunnel that lead out of the tunnel. I followed it. I had a horrible feeling that I just lost my partner.

I made it out of the tunnel. I called Adam. He met me were I was standing. We went looking for Dritt. We used thermal images and did not find him. I went to my office to write my report.

I head someone stumble into my office. I looked up and saw Dritt covered in dirt. He fell on the couch. He laid down. I walked over to him. He looked like hell. He had cuts all over him. The one that concerned me was on his head. I got the first aid kit and started to clean it. I was very concerned that Dritt didn't move. I happened to see his vest. It said D. Williams. Adam came into my office.

"We looked everywhere we didn't see..."

"He, walked in a few minutes ago."

Adam walked over. "Danny, can you hear me?"

No answer. I realized what he said. I checked to see if he was breathing and had a heart rate. Then it hit me. Every crime scene that Dritt got injured had Danny's blood. Dritt was Danny. I called for a ambulance. I went with them.

I stayed in the room with Danny. He was going to be ok. Then another thing hit me Danny was just as crazy as me. He had been around me too long. He was picking up seal habits. I was just waiting for him to wake up.
