Please feel free to send any comments to hotboy__28@hotmail.com Accidents will Happen Chapter 33 I'd spent 2 hours in the Emergency room with my colleagues being checked out. After several X-Rays and scans and a full set of bloods Roger told me that he'd like to have a brain scan done to make sure I hadn't received any permanent damage. "Roger, I'm fine truly. My eyesight is fine and I don't feel dizzy or nauseous. I promise if I get any headaches or my symptoms change I will come straight back in, but I don't think I need a scan." Roger huffed. "It's true what they say about medical people Dan, they make difficult and horrible patients. Ok if you insist on not having the scan there is nothing I can do however, you have several broken ribs and stitches that we've put in on your forehead and eyebrow so you'll need to be careful." "Ok Roger thanks for taking care of me I really appreciate it." "No worries Dan I know you would have done the same for any of us. There are some people outside waiting to see you by the way, shall I send them in?" "Sure Roger and thanks again." Roger left me lying propped up on the trolley. My ribs were really painful and I had a banging headache where I'd taken a pounding. I felt a little ashamed that I hadn't even laid a finger on Jimmy's brother in either protection or retaliation and was thankful that Sharp had obviously turned up when he did. I was lost in my thoughts when the door opened and Jane and Officer Sharp walked in together. "Oh my God Dan what the hell did he do to you?" said Jane her face showing the complete shock her voice suggested. "Yeah I had a bit of a run in with someone who wasn't so keen on my bedside manner" I joked, letting out a little laugh that caused me immediately to wince in pain. "To be fair Doc you look like you've gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson" said Sharp. "Oh really? I haven't actually seen how I look yet" I replied suddenly self-conscious. Jane walked over to me as she opened her bag and removed her vanity case. As she reached me she opened it up and put the mirror in front of my face. "See what we mean?" she asked quietly. "Oh, yeah I see what you mean, it does look a lot worse than it actually is if that makes you feel any better?" I said with a fake smile on my face. "So what happened to Jimmy's brother?" I asked. "Oh we took him to the hospital the next town over, thought it was best to keep him away from the hospital you and Dylan are in" replied Sharp. "Oh God Dylan, does he know what happened or where I am?" I asked worriedly. Jane looked at Sharp and then at the floor before looking back at me. "No I didn't have the heart to tell him, he's still upstairs with Jimmy so he hasn't really noticed you haven't been there. He's been trying to persuade Jimmy to go to the Police about the beating heis family gave him." "Have you not questioned him yet Sharp?" I asked with a little annoyance coming through in my voice. "Not yet Dan, and don't take this the wrong way but I thought I'd do it when you were able to go up and see Dylan, I think it will have much more impact when Dylan and Jimmy see what happened to you and know who we've got in custody for doing it." My immediate response was to be pissed at Sharp for wasting time in not taking Jimmy in but the more I thought about his strategy the more it made sense. When Dylan saw me I knew he would go berserk and when he knew it was Jimmy's brother he would explode. I felt sorry again for Jimmy, I knew he had no control over any of this but was likely to get the rough end of Dylan's tongue if he didn't help Sharp. "Ok well I guess I am ready to go up now so let's move and get this over and done with. Jane can you give me a hand to get off this damn trolley please, for some mysterious reason my ribs are a little sore" I said with a smile on my face. "Sure Dan, are you sure you should be moving already, you still look in bad shape?" "Oh charming!!" I said my voice full of sarcasm. "Yeah I'm good, trust me I'm a Doctor." Jane helped me up and helped me out of the ER and to the elevator as we headed up to see Dylan. Two minutes later we exited the elevator and headed slowly towards Dylan's room. "So Sharp how do you want to handle this. Do we let it play out organically or do you have a game plan?" "I'm just going to see how it pans out Dan and take my lead from ho Dylan reacts." "I can tell you right now how he's going to react" Jane said interrupting. "Dylan loves Dan completely so he's going to go nuts and when, as I expect you will, you tell him that it was Jimmy's brother who did it he'll go crazy." "That's my slant on it too" said Sharp. "I hope then Jimmy will offer to help rather than me having to pressure him by taking him in and questioning him." "Ok let's do it" I said as I opened the door to Dylan's room. "?oh come on Jimmy if your family really loved you would they give you two black eyes I mean really, do you believe that?" Dylan said as I entered the room catching the back half of his conversation. "Dan tell Jimmy he's not seeing?? Oh my fucking God Dan!!" Dylan said as he looked over to me mid conversation his face now white with shock. "Hey baby" I said. "Hey baby? Hey fucking baby, what the hell Dan ?." Dylan's voice trailed off as the tears started to trickle down his cheeks as the shock set in. I walked over to the side of his bed. "It's fine baby don't worry I'm ok" I whispered in his ear. "What happened to you?" Jimmy asked solemnly as I comforted Dylan. "Dan was attacked by someone outside the hospital whilst he was getting some air. We believe it may be the same person responsible for running Dylan down" replied Sharp. Dylan looked me in the eyes and I could see his hurt and worry. "The text said that you'd be next" he said quietly. "What happens if he comes after you again?" "That's unlikely Dylan" replied Sharp. "How can you be so sure, I mean he found Dan at the hospital, attacked him where he works?' "I can be so sure because we have the attacker in custody, I arrived at the hospital just as the attacker was laying in to Dan and managed to subdue him before he could do anymore damage." Dylan's head snapped round to face Sharp. "You have him in custody?" he asked his relief visible. "Yep" replied Sharp. "Who is he, do we know him?" Dylan asked looking at me. I could feel the atmosphere in the room change as if Sharp, Jane and I had taken in a collective breath. "What's wrong?" asked Dylan sensing the tension. "Who is it? Dan, Mum who is it?" "Well it's a bit of a delicate situation Dylan" replied Sharp. "Delicate, it can't be that delicate, he nearly killed me and looks like he beat the freaking crap out of my boyfriend, so I can't see how it can be damn well delicate!!" Dylan retorted hos voice starting to rise. I looked over at Jimmy who was completely oblivious to what was about to happen. "Oh my God do I know them too?" he asked. My heart sank as he finished the question. Nobody in the room wanted to answer the question. The silence was almost awkward almost painful. "Jimmy you know the person better than both Dan and Dylan" came Sharp's eventual reply. "How can that be?" Dylan asked "Is it someone from school?" I placed my hand on Dylan's and gave it a gentle squeeze as I shook my head. "What the hell is going on then?" Dylan said raising his voice his patience obviously almost at an end. "Yeah how can I know this person better than Dylan or Dan?" Jimmy asked a little courage starting to flow through him. "Because it's your Brother Jimmy" Sharp replied. "Your brother is the one who attacked Dan." Jimmy's face went white and his eyes filled with tears, "My brother, but it can't be, he wouldn't?.." Jimmy's voice trailed off as he buried his face in his hands and started to sob. I looked at Dylan who looked completely confused. He opened his mouth to say something. I squeezed his hand, gently shook my head and mouthed the word "don't." Jane walked over to where Jimmy was sat on Dylan's bed and place a hand gently on each side of his head. "Jimmy I know this is difficult to hear and you want so much that your brother isn't involved but we know for sure that he attacked Dan. Please know that nobody here blames you for this in fact we're here to support you through this. You have a place to stay with us if you need somewhere to go but you have to do the right thing and talk to Officer Sharp and tell him what you know." Dylan reached across to Jimmy and placed his hand tenderly on his shoulder. "Jimmy you know we're here for you and just remember how upset you were when you thought I was dead. I don't remember how I got hurt but maybe you talking to the Police will help me find out. I have been there for you and I will always be there for you." "But he's my brother Dylan, he looked after me when I was young, protected me from bullies, I don't understand how he could have done this, I don't understand any of this." "Jimmy lets go down to the police station and have a chat, maybe we can get some understanding for all of us just by me asking some questions and talking through what has happened in the last week." "You're arresting me?" Jimmy asked fear enveloping his face. "No absolutely not, you're a witness Jimmy not a suspect. I need to get some clarity on the relationship you have with your family and the trouble you've had with them since you told them you were gay and since you have been friends with Dylan. All of this is very likely to be connected in some way, I just need to unscramble all the information and put it back in the right order and you can help me do that." "Ok I can do that, but I am so frightened, if my family find out that I've been talking to the police they'll disown me at the very least and at the worst they'll?.." Jimmy's words faded away as he realized the magnitude of what he was about to say. "Kill you?" Dylan said finishing Jimmy's sentence. Jimmy nodded as he got up from the bed. "Dan I am so sorry my brother did this to you, I am so sorry I brought this trouble to you and Dylan. I should have just stayed away then none of this would have happened." I got up from the bed still very sore from my injured ribs, walked around to where Jimmy was standing and put my arms around and hugged him in tight. The pain of the hug was excruciating but I knew it was nothing compared to the pain Jimmy was feeling right now. "Jimmy none of this is your fault so you have nothing to apologise for. Both Dylan's and my life is richer for having you in it so don't think any different." Jimmy pulled away and looked at me through his tear filled eyes. "Thank you Dan that means a lot to me. Dylan I'll see you later hopefully." "See you Jimmy" Dylan replied sadly. "Jimmy do you want anybody with you when we chat? Is there a friend or and adult you want me to call so you have someone with you?" asked Sharp. "I'd like someone but my only real friend is lying in that bed and I don't think my family are going to help" Jimmy replied sadly. "Jimmy would you like me to come with you?" Jane asked out of the blue shocking all of us. "Mrs. Henderson I can't ask you to do that" replied Jimmy. "You didn't ask I offered, and don't be silly if you need someone then I would only be too pleased to help you." "I'd really like that Mrs. Henderson, really a lot." "Ok Jimmy lets go and call me Jane, Mrs. Henderson is so formal."
