Greg wasn't sure what to do next. He had to go to the restroom but
Nick's still wouldn't let go of his hand. Nick was cleared but Greg
was told he had to stay a bit longer. They wanted to give him one
more treatment. Greg shifted his weight hoping that would help. He
looked at Nick. He wasn't sure but he thought he was asleep. He was
lying in the other bed now curled up. His left hand still attached
to Greg's right now. Greg let out a long sign and shifted once again.

"Ok, Greg I'm going to give you one more treatment. If you feel
better in a few hours I will let you go home." Dr Green said handing
Greg the tube. Greg placed it in his mouth and took in slow deep
breaths. It seemed to help this time.

"Ok, I will check back in an hour. Hopefully we can get you out of
here." Dr Green said.

Gil had left to get something to eat and had said he'd be back to
take Greg home. Greg again sighed.

"Nick, are you awake" he asked. Nick didn't move.

Greg tried to pull his hand free but Nick's grip tightened.

"Nick" Greg said loader this time. Nick still didn't move. Greg gave
up and leaned back in the bed. He closed his eyes.

"Greg" Dr Green said.

Greg opened his eyes. "I'm afraid you levels are still a bit too
high. One more treatment should do it"

Greg nodded. He watched as the doctor sat up the machine one more
time. Greg and took the treatment. He noticed that Nick grip was
very loose. He waited until his treatment was done and Dr Green had
left the room to try and free his hand. He slowly pulled forward.
Nick tightened it once again.

"Oh" Greg moaned. "Nick, wake up" Greg said. "Nick"

Nick slowly opened his eyes. He had a look of fear on his face as he
looked around the room.

"Hey, it's ok, your at the hospital" Greg said

Nick sat up but didn't let go of Greg's hand.

"I need my meds" he said. "I have to get out of hear" He said
pulling his legs near him.

"You gotta stay calm, if you loose it they will kept you here" Greg
said.

"NO, I can't stay here" he said.

"Take a few deep breaths; we should be out of here in an hour. We'll
go to my place and I see if someone can go to your house and get you
meds" Greg said in a very calm voice.

"I can't stay, I just can't" Nick cried.

"Then you have to keep it together" Greg said.

Nick nodded and placed his hand over his ear.

"Nick, I need to use the restroom" Greg said sound very despite now.

Nick looked up. "I'm sorry" he said and let go of Greg's hand. He
placed it on his ear and started rocking back and forth.

"I'll be right back" Greg said.

Gil looked in throw the window.

"You shouldn't let him go, he could be a danger to himself or Greg"
he said.

"I can't keep him here unless I feel he's a danger, and I've seem
nothing to make me worry" Dr Green said.

"He's wont let go of Greg's hand, he rocking back and forth, you
can't let him go with Greg" Gil said.

"Since he's awake, I will go and talk to him but if I don't see any
signs I will let him go" Dr Green said.

"Hello Nick" he said walking into the room.

Nick pulled one of his hands off his ears. "Hello" he said.

"I'm a bit worried, since you don't get out much do you have
somewhere to go that you will feel safe" he asked.

"I want to go home" he said.

"We'll I was told you can't not for a few weeks. Do you have
somewhere to go?" Dr Green asked walking closer to Nick.

"I'm going to stay with Greg" Nick said slowly.

"Is he a good friend of yours, will you feel safe there"

Nick nodded and Greg walked back into the room.

Greg sat down on the bed. Nick held his hand out and Greg took it.

Dr Green nodded.

"Greg, I'm going to discharge you, every things seems fine. If you
have any problem later come right back" he said

Greg nodded.

"I can leave to" Nick asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry, you've already been discharged, but you where a
sleep, I didn't want to wake you". He said leaving the room.


"I'm sorry but I see no reason to keep him here" Dr Green said.

"He's been in his place for 18 years and never leaves" Gil said.

"He say's he feels safe going to Greg's. I'm sorry but I have to let
him go"

Gil watched as the doctor walked away. He walked back into the room,
seeing Greg was putting his shirt back on. Nick was sitting on the
edge of the bed.

Greg walked up to Gil, "My car is at his place."

"I'll take you to it" Gil said.

"Do you think he can go in and get his meds maybe some clothes?"
Greg asked.

"Yeah but he may not come out. He can't stay, everything's been
turned off." Gil said.

Greg nodded.

"Are you ready?" Dr Green said handing Greg a few papers. He did the
same with Nick.

"If you feel sick, or can't breath come back right away" he added.

Both men nodded.

"Come one" Gil hoped "Wig out in front of the doctor"

Greg looked at Nick and he stood up.

"Gils going to take me to my car and let you in your place so you
can get a few things" Greg said.

"I can't stay" Nick asked.

"No, I'm sorry, there power, water and gas have need turned off"

Nick nodded; he turned and followed Greg out. He could fell his body
shacking. He put his hand on his ear and almost stopped.

"Come on, have a panic attack" Gil thought.

Greg turned and walked to Nick. He took his free hand.

"Sorry, I forgot our deal" Greg said.

Dr Green looked over at him.

"I'm ready when you are" Greg said. Nick took a step forward. His
legs felt numb and he feared he was going to fall. He took another
step and followed Gil to his truck. Nick again stopped when the can
to the doors. They where the spinning doors. Nick took a step back.

"I can't" he said.

Greg turned a faced Nick.

Gil smiled. "He won't be able to go in there" he thought.

"Sir there's a handicapped exit to your left" Dr Green called out.

Greg looked and spotted the door. He led Nick to the doors.

Gil turned and looked at the doctor, then made his way to the exit.
Nick followed Greg thought the doors.

"He's there problem now" Dr Green said walking away.

Nick hummed softly as they pasted the people and cars.

"This is mine" Gil said unlocking the door. Greg got in and Nick did
as well. Gil watched him in the mirror as he hummed and rocked back
and forth. Gil pulled up to building. Most of his team was still
there.

Nick looked down then at Greg.

"I can get them for you" Greg said.

"You don't now what to get, maybe he should just run in"

"I need them all" nick whispered. "There are 6 bottles. And my
computer"

"Ok" Greg said getting out of the car. He was yanked back.

"Nick I need my hand back please" he said.

Nick didn't move at first then let his hand go. He quickly placed it
on his ear. He hummed a bit loader now and rocked a bit faster. Gil
got out and slammed his door. Nick jumped but did nothing use.

Gil watched as Greg made his way inside.

"Hey G I hear you saved a shut-in" Sara said.

"Yeah I think I'm stuck with him on, he's in the car." Greg said as
Sara followed him up to Nick's apartment.

"Just a lot of smoke damage in here" Catherine said.

"Oh Greg are you ok" she asked walking out.

"Yeah I'm fine, I inhaled to much smoke" he said walking inside.

Greg looked around. He found his way into the restroom and took the
6 bottle of pills. He glanced at the names but didn't know any of
them. He guessed they where anti anxiety and other thinks like that.
He went into his bed room and picked out a few pairs of jeans and
shirts.

"He's got some nice cloths for a shut-in" Greg thought. He found him
socks and underwear. He looked around for a bag. He looked in the
kitchen. He found a paper sack and pushed the clothes in there. He
spotted the computer. It was a lap top. A nice one at that. Greg
packed it up and head back down to the car.

"I think I got everything you'll need" Greg said reaching the car.

Nick looked in the bag. He pulled out one of the bottle and opened
it. He removed a pill and swallowed it down. He placed the lid back
on it.

"Zanax" Nick said.

Greg nodded. "Do you need anything else" he asked.

Nick shock his head.

"Well I guess I take you to my house" Greg said.

"Can you please wait a bit" Nick asked.

Greg nodded guessing Nick was hoping the pill would kick in. Nick
was covered in sweat, pale and was shacking.

"Ok, I'm ready" Nick said after about 15 minutes. Lucky Gil was
talking to Catherine and had seemed to forget back them.

Greg nodded and waited for Nick to get out of the car. He finally
did and Greg led him to his car. He put the bag in the back.

"Greg you need anything you call me" Gil said walking over to them.

"I will" Greg said.

"Give I or Cath a call if you think you need a few extra days off"
Gil said watching Nick.

"I should be fine, I be back in Tuesday" Greg said nothing the other
man was worried about him taking Nick home.

"Maybe you"

"Goodnight Gil" Greg said getting in his car.

"You like that county shit don't you" Greg said starting the car.

Nick looked up.

"Its better them that shit you call music" Nick said.

Greg smiled and turned it to a mix station.

"We'll compromise" he said guessing that his load music would not
help Nick calm down. Greg pulled up to his duplex.

"This is mine" Greg said hoping out.

Nick looked at the building and swallowed.

"I can't feel my legs" he said.

"Here take my hand, just like last time" Greg said.

Nick placed his shacking hand in Greg's and slowly got out of the
car. Greg led him to the door. He pulled out his keys and unlocked
it. A cat ran out the door making Nick jump.

"Oh shit" Greg said but luckily the cat stopped before stepping he
the grass. Nick looked at the car and it walked over to him. It
rubbed his body on his legs.

"That's Midnight" Greg said.

"Oh yeah, that the one that sites on your keyboard all the time"
Nick said reaching down to pet the cat. They went inside and
Midnight followed them.

"You just do what ever makes you feel most comfortable" Greg said.

Nick walked over to his couch. The pill he'd taken was kicking in
and he could barely keep his eyes open.
He sat down on it. The cat jumped up next to him purring loudly.

"Just push her down if she's bugging you" Greg said.

Nick nodded. He took off his shoes and pulled his legs cloth to him.
He leaned his head back.

"That pill makes me tried" Nick said.

Greg looked at the clock, it was already 2 am.

"I'm going to bed to" Greg said. "Make yourself at home" he added
but had a feeling Nick wouldn't get off the couch.

Nick closed his eyes feeling the cat still rubbing on him. He leaned
his head back.

Midnight hoped off the couch and made her way into Greg's room.

"That's daddy's new friend, do you like him" Greg asked.

The cat laid on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Yeah daddy likes' him to" he said he reached over and turned on his
radio.

"Hmm" he said "now that's music"
