Re: A New Fight

"I have no idea what's wrong with me, but something...It happened right after we left that crime scene. One second I'm fine, the next I'm having a siezure. I'd have probably crashed the car if not for Stella." He sighed. "I don't scare easy, you know it, but this makes me nervous." He paused, then continued. "I...There's a cancer history in some of my family and that's what's really worrying me." He was trying not to look scared but the unease was there in his eyes. He eyed Danny's banged up face. "What happened to you?" he said.
 
Re: A New Fight

Danny mouthed the word 'cancer' once, tilting his head to the side some. "If it was the thing causing it.. Wouldn't there be a tumor in your brain or somethin' causin' it?" he asked. Danny had an incredibly hard time believing that Mac might have cancer. "For me.. do you want the long or the short verson?"
 
Re: A New Fight

"Yes, that's what the tests will find out. I hope." Mac replied. "Doesn't matter...actually you better make it the quick one, they'll be coming to get me in a couple minutes for CAT scan."
 
Re: A New Fight

"Well.. Lindsay and I got into a bit of a fight, I left, she wound up in the hospital with a slit wrist. Thank God Hawkes found her," Danny began, holding up his hand to keep Mac from interrupting. "After Linds was taken to the hospital, he went out to find me. I'd popped twelve ibuprophen and gotten into a street fight. He convinced me to come back and check on Linds, so I did.. We've been on good terms ever since. The ibuprophen I took was for the tremors and back spasms. The street fight was after. We didn't know untill this morning how bad it was till the painkillers wore off." Danny took a moment, looking down to the floor. "If I had gone out drinking before Hawkes caught me, I most likely woulda OD'd."
 
Re: A New Fight

Mac listened, wanting to handle the problems as best as possible but not wanting to agitate Danny either.

"You're sure everything's okay?" he asked. "I can set you up another appointment with the police psychiatrist like I did before" he suggested. "Although I know you weren't happy about it then." He took a breath. "Since you're on good terms now, I won't get into it...Got enough with my own problems...But if you decide you want to talk about anything with me, I'm willing to listen."
 
Re: A New Fight

Lindsay nodded and sighed. She stepped outside, leaning against the back of the wall. This was all her own stupid fault. If she hadn't gotten with Flack, none of this would have ever happened, and she would probably be snuggling up to Danny watching a movie by now. She slowly slid down to the floor, feeling guilty about what she had done. She didn't feel like she could forgive herself.
 
Re: A New Fight

"All I'm tryin' to do is find out how bad I got beat up.." Danny muttered. "Mac, right now, I got barely any proper lead on my life, so whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. That street fight? I started it. An' I have no clue if that guy is still alive because all he asked for was money an' I snapped." Danny reached up and rubbed his face a little, his busted up knuckles clear in view. "Once I find out how far this goes.. Do you want me to report back to you?" Danny barely even noticed that his had was shaking a little again.
 
Re: A New Fight

"Yes, but it's because despite what's happened, I still have faith in you...you're still one of the best people and the best cops I've worked with. I want to try to keep things under control if I can, espeically if IA gets wind, though I hope they somehow don't. I'm not going to have an easy time considering my own problems but I want to see what I can do."
 
Re: A New Fight

Danny nodded a bit. "Thank you, Mac," he said with a bare smile. "Once you find out what happened.. Can you tell me? And if you need to talk.."
 
Re: A New Fight

"Yes, I'll tell you. Going to have to because whatever it is, I have a nasty feeling it's gonna impact my work. And I want to keep everyone updated on what's going on anyway, I know you're all going to start worrying about me." A tumor would need chemo and maybe surgery, something like epilepsy or brain damage would still render him unfit to work.
 
Re: A New Fight

"Start is an understatement. I already am," Danny replied, his brow creasing a bit. "I mean.. last everyone checked, a man half your age would kill for your health. Then all of a sudden you have a ceasure?"
 
Re: A New Fight

"Tell me about it" he sighed. "I go from healthy to finding out I've got who knows what in just seconds. And in the car yet...I got it slowed down but Stella had to pull it over. Besides, even if it's survivable, which, I hope, I'm not lookign forward to chemotherapy, radiation, all that stuff, if it is cancer. I hate what it does to people even though it's necessary to save them."
 
Re: A New Fight

"Well.." Danny began, easing himself into a chair beside Mac. "Here's the bright side of it all.. One: You and Stella didn't get into a possibly fatal car crash," he started, holding up one finger. "And two: You don't have much hair to lose as it is." Danny stuck up the second finger with a grin, teasing of course, but trying to brighten the mood a little.
 
Re: A New Fight

"very funny" Mac said, the joke bringing a slight smile to him. "I wonder if it'll wind up like on TV, where several people in the office shave their heads in support." He tried to imagine Danny and Flack bald-Hawkes was bald already- and laughed. "The first one, though, yes...Stella probably saved both our lives, and I owe her one." he said.
 
Re: A New Fight

"Ah hell.. I'm sure we can get half the lab to do it!" Danny grinned, happy to see the smile on Mac's face and to hear the laugh. "You're lucky to have her, Mac.. She's a smart, quick woman."
