Chapter 42
Once they had the meeting with the child advocate, she agreed that the Rachel would be best left in holding till morning, when they went in front of the judge.
"Mac...it's 3am, let's go get that arm stitched please, the blood is already coming through Sid's bandage". "Okay love, let's go".
When they arrived at the hospital, it was quiet, allowing them to be seen right away. After recieveing twelve stitches, Stella drove them home. "How do you feel Mac"? "High...I feel high love, damn, I told them no drugs". "Aww...shame isn't it, when you are forced to do something, you don't want to do".
Unlocking the door, they headed inside. "Come on dopey, let's get you into bed". "But I'm not at all tired". "Mmhmm...I've heard that before, trust me Mac, you'll be sleeping like a baby tonight". Sitting down on the bed, Mac couldn't even untie his shoes.
Laughing, Stella had to do it for him, along with his pants and shirt. "You forgot something love", he grinned sinisterly. "Uhuh...good night Taylor". Laying him back, she crawled in beside him. "Sweetheart...he whispered half asleep, you forgot to undress". "I know Mac, don't worry, just sleep". Finally passing out, Stella undressed, and crawled in beside him, covering them both with the thick comforter.
Turning on her side, facing the wall, she felt his hand, caress it's way up her leg. "Behave Mac, you need rest". Pulling her in with his good hand, he inhaled her hair, kissed her neck, whispered he loved her, and fell asleep.
Over at Danny's the boy's were into their third game of pool. "Boy Danny, your place is so cool, this is awesome, I'd love to have this one day". "You know what Peter, you could, just stay on the right track, and you'll get there, trust me, I used to be like you, but then I changed, I realized life was what you make of it, so I changed my path, and now I'm a detective".
"Do you think I could become a detective"? "You can become anything you want to be, but it's you, that needs to make it happen, you have to make yourself want it". "Yeah...I know, and I will, you'll see". "On that note, it's 3:30, and that court hearing is schedualed for 9am, so let's all get some sleep".
Placing a sleeping bag, with three blankets, on his ground, he had Peter crash on them , while Flack took the couch. "I'll see you guys in the morning". "Yeah..night Danny, night Don". "Good night Peter".
With everyone down for the rest of the night, Danny thought back to his days, with his brother, and the Tanglewood Boy's.
