I knew we should have beefed up security. Should have placed someone outside of Danny's room. All of those points were realized when one of the nurses went to wake him up this morning and discovered his bed and room were empty.
I didn't know what else to do. He didn't have much family to speak of, and the family he had other than Cameron and the guys were all in England.
"He's gone, cameron." I said, swallowing hard and taking a deep breath.
"Whose gone?" Cameron asked, obviously a bit confused.
"Danny, we went to check his room and he was gone. And he's not Danny at the moment. He's Daniel. So, you can understand why we would be concerned"
I could hear him muffle the phone and heard someone cussing in the background.
"If you knew he wasn't Danny, why did you leave him alone? Are you sure he's not in the building? How could he get out?!" He yelled.
All of these were good questions. But I didn't know the answer. I had been trying to figure it out for over an hour now.
"We've checked and re checked the entire building. He's not here." I said, scanning the grounds for any signs of the man.
"We thought we'd let you know he was on the loose. We know the history he has with James now..."
My heart dropped and my eyes traveled to the couple on the bed. "Alright. We'll keep our eyes open and if you find him, please let me know."
"I will. Thank you, Cameron."
Daniel's P.O.V
It had only taken me a day to figure out a way out of that hell whole. There was a certain blonde hair girl who had a crush on old Danny boy. She made it pretty obvious. Always finding ways to touch him, checking on him more than usual.
I waited a couple of days and decided to make my move. Her name was Rita. If I were attracted to women, it would have been Rita. She was 6'1, blue eyes, a nice rack and and ass to die for. I asked her if she'd help me out of this place. She agreed. And all I had to do was pleasure her. And I did. Like I said, if I was attracted to women, I'd have been in Heaven.
I was very grateful to Rita and promised I would repay her again one day.
I didn't have a real destination in mind. All I knew for sure was I wanted away from that place. The place they were trying to get rid of me at.
This was my life now. Mine. I wasn't willing to share it with Danny or anyone else for that matter. I'd spent so long taking care of him and cleaning up the messes he'd made. Now it was my time. And the sooner I got rid of James, the better.
I couldn't stop think king about Cameron. He was the only one I trusted. The only one who truly seemed to care about me.
It didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes. I wouldn't mind waking up to that face every morning.
But every time I thought of Cameron that way, I thought of Ben. It felt so wrong to think about someone else. I knew he'd want Danny to be happy. He'd want Danny to find happiness with someone else. I didn't know if Cameron would ever be interested in us though. But I put that on the back burner, for now at least. I had other things to take care of.
How was I going to take care of James while he was in the hospital? Dr. Owens had probably figured out I was gone by now. And he's probably called Cameron or someone and warned them. Hmmm, I could probably get my hands on some scrubs, or something at least.
I smirked and called a taxi. Jumping in the back seat "baptist hospital please" I said.
The drive took around 45 minutes an I pulled out some cash, tossing the driver far more than was owed. I smiled and hopped out of the car, glancing up at the big hospital sign up front.
"You better get ready, James. This time you won't be so lucky." I said as I headed inside.
"May I help you sir?" The lady at the front desk asked.
I nodded and smiled as I approached the desk. "I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go, I'm the new...." I was cut off as a doctor hurried over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"You must be the doctor they sent to help us while Dr. Tanner is away." He said with a toothy grin.
This was perfect. I couldn't believe how easy this was going to be.
"I am. Dr. Luke Wilson. Nice to meet you" I said as I extended my hand, shaking the others.
"Nice to meet you. Come on, I'll get you set up." He said as he led me down the hall.
We stopped in front of a door and he opened it and motioned for me to come inside. There he handed me my scrubs and said they'd make me a temporary name tag in a couple of days.
I nodded "are there any patients I need to visit now " I asked.
The man checked his clipboard and was randomly naming off people. I tried to hide my boredom until he finally reached James' name.
I nodded "sounds like I'm going to be busy for awhile." I laughed.
We talked for another few minutes and went our separate ways. This had been easy so far. Now came the hard part. How would I get rid of Cameron and Sam and better yet, how would I kill him without anyone knowing?
Well. This was a hospital. They have all kinds of drugs here. Checking behind me I darted into a room where I overheard they kept some of the drugs. My eyes scanned each bottle as I kept an ear out for anyone passing by.
Whatever I chose I needed to do it quickly.
The drug I decided on was succinylcholine (SUX for short). It's a neuromuscular paralytic drug. In short, it causes ALL the muscles in the body to be paralyzed. They simply stop functioning, including those used for breathing. So without medical help, a person given a dose of SUX will stop breathing and asphyxiate. That happens in a matter of seconds and certainly less than a minute after a person is injected with the drug.
A smile slowly spread across my face as I slipped the needle and medicine into my pocket and headed down the hallway once more.
Now, the next part would prove to be even more tricky. How was I going to get Cameron and Sam out of the room? I could go for the old fashioned, 'I need to examine him, could you step out of the room' deal. But would that work? Would they actually leave or would there be a problem.
Stopping in front of James' door I peeked in the small window, trying to see what was going on in there. It appeared as if everyone was asleep.
I bit at my lower lip as I slowly opened the door and quietly stepped inside. If I was gong to do this, I had to move quick.
Cameron made a soft groaning sound from the chair and it stopped me in my tracks.
"Danny. Please" he began, gripping the arms of the chair. "Daniel don't hurt him. Please. I can't lose anyone else. Please" he mumbled. After looking down at his face I could tell he was crying. My heart broke.
I cared for that man. More than I should. And to see him cry, even in a dream and know it was because of me. Hurts.
I couldn't go through with it. I sighed and slid the needle back in my pocket and gently wiped away his tears. "I won't, for you. Only for you" I whispered as I slipped out of the room again.
Fuck. This is why you never let your feelings get involved. I shook my head. I had to get out of there. Fast.
I didn't know where I was going, and honesty I didn't care. As long as it was far away from here.
