Samuel was spreading himself way too thin."I can't leave him here alone." Samuel reached for him, squeezed his hand."It'll be over soon,right?""Are they getting you a pull-out chair as well?"Samuel chuckled softly."No.I'm not family, and there's no room."He growled a little."Then you need to take a break and come home with me for a couple ofhours.You cannot spend the next few days and nights in the waiting room.Jason has your cellnumber, he'll call if he needs anything."Trial by Fire - 107 "I." Those dark eyes stared at him, tired and sad and worried."Samuel."

He made sure to work all the muscles along Samuel's shoulders and upper backas he tried to ease his lover."You spoil me." Samuel's head fell forward."I do not.I treat you the way you deserve." It broke his heart if he let it, that Samuel thought thatwas being spoiled.Jason came out of the doorway with a nurse in tow."They're moving us to another waitingroom."Samuel stood immediately."Okay.Let's go."Peter stood and offered Jason a hug."How are you holding up?"Jase shrugged, looking lost."How's Harry?"

Everyone knew Harry loved Jason more than life."I was worried, though, after everything Greg said had.Yeah.He knew me."Peter shook his head.This sucked.A lot.Trial by Fire - 108 They walked through the hospital into another waiting room.They had police escort for the trip.They settled in the new waiting room.Peter hated the waiting, the feeling useless.Jason sat nextto Samuel, talking hard, squeezing Samuel's hands.Samuel listened and nodded, letting Jasonlean on him.Peter wandered around the room and finally settled a couple of chairs over from them.He tookout his book and tried to read, close enough that if they needed him, he'd be there, but far enoughaway to give them privacy.Trial by Fire - 109 Chapter Twenty-Three"Leave me alone." Harry jerked away as someone touched him.Pain rocketed through him andhe gritted his teeth against the scream.He would never scream again.Never."Can't you give him something for the pain?" He knew that voice.Jason."You leave him alone, God damn it.Jase.Baby.Run.""Harry? Harry, it's okay, you're in the hospital." Soft fingers touched the inside of his arm, nearhis elbow.He stopped, frowned."Hospital?" Shit."Yeah.You were.hurt and now you're in the hospital.Do you remember anything, love?"Too much.Too fucking much.He nodded."When do I go home? I need to talk to Jack." Jackneeded to know that those fuckers had taken him.He couldn't open his eyes yet, not yet.Butsoon.Jason made a little noise, his breath catching."Shh.Shh, I'll be okay.I will." Or if not okay, he'd live.He was about ninety-nine percent surehe'd never be okay again."Of course you will.You're going to be just fine, Harry.I'm going to take care of you.""Tell Jack that I need to talk to him, as soon as he gets here." Sleep was pulling at him again,tugging at him."I can't.Harry.Jack.he.""He's a good guy, Jase.You can." Jack liked Jason.Trial by Fire - 110 "You don't understand."

No dreams.No dreams.Never again.***Jason sat, holding Harry's hand while his lover slept.How was he supposed to tell Harry thatJack was dead? How was he supposed to be strong enough to deal with all this? Tears floweddown his cheeks and he squeezed Harry's hand tight.He'd be strong enough because Harryneeded him to."I love you," he murmured."I love you.I love you, Harry."Harry's poor broken fingers tried to squeeze his."Shh.It's okay, love." He took a deep breath.He had to get it together.For Harry.Sammy peeked in, smiled from the doorway."Jase? Honey? You need anything?""A hug?" Sammy'd kept him going when he didn't think he could anymore."You got it." Sammy slipped in, hugged him close."Love you, honey.You're doing so good.""I don't know, Sammy.He asked about Jack last time he was awake, and I couldn't tell him.""Oh, man.Maybe there's a police person who can?""I think I need to be the one to tell him." He had to do that for Harry.Sammy nodded."It's going to be hard.They were partners a long time."Yeah, and he knew Harry.Harry was going to be so pissed.He sniffed hard, trying to fight backthe tears that were threatening again.He hated this so much.He hated that Jack was dead, butmostly he hated that Harry'd been taken, been hurt so very badly.He just wanted Harry to beokay, for everything to be okay.Sammy looked at him, eyes serious."You can do this.For him, Jase.I believe in you."He leaned his forehead against Sammy's and nodded."I can.He's always been there for me." HeTrial by Fire - 111 might hate it, he might just want things to go back to normal, but for Harry, he would doanything.Anything at all.Of course, that didn't mean he wasn't going to cry a little when Harry couldn't see him."Yep."

The weird part was that he knew Sammy believedthat.He gave Sammy a soft kiss and another big hug, pulling strength from the contact."Thanks forall your help, Sammy.I don't know what I'd do without you.""Starve.You'd both starve."He heard a pained chuckle."'Zat Sammy th' Queen?""Harry!" He was at his lover's side again immediately, hand stroking over the one place byHarry's elbow that he knew wasn't hurting."It is Sammy."Harry's lips twisted."Tell 'im I want banana bread when I get 'ome."Jase laughed softly."You hear that, Sammy? Harry likes your banana bread.He'll make sure youget it, Harry, I know he will.""You know it, man.I promise." Sammy's voice was thick.Jase reached out and squeezed Sammy's hand.Most of his attention was on Harry, though."Howare you feeling, love? Do you need anything?""Thirsty.""I have a cup with a bendy straw here.Just a second." He nearly knocked it over in his eagernessto be able to do something for Harry.Finally, he put the straw against Harry's lips, trying not to be freaked out by that poor, swollenface.This was his Harry.Harry had broken teeth, split lips, broken cheekbone and nose, butthose eyes were familiar -- what he could see of them.Harry took a couple of awkward sips and Jase smiled down at him."There you go, love."Harry nodded, eyes closing."Mmmhmm.""Can I get you anything else, love?
