Title: Waking Nightmare Author: Cindy Brewer email: cindyryan7@yahoo.com Disclaimer: I don't own them Notes: Many thanks to Vicki for betaing "Has anyone told Joey?" Donna asked several minutes later as she pulled away from Sam. Seaborn nodded. "Yes, but she's visiting her parents in Iowa, won't be able to get here until tomorrow." Leo stepped into the room then and walked toward them. "Donna, glad to see you got here alright." Donna nodded. "Thank you for sending the car." "Least I could do," Leo replied quietly before pulling a chair over to the sofa next to Sam. "Any news?" Sam asked as Leo sat down. McGarry shook his head. "The one shooter the secret service managed to grab in the chaos isn't talking. We have no ID on the other gunman." "But Gina saw them both...." Sam began but caught himself. Donna looked from one man to the other and back again. "What? What about Gina?" Leo sighed wearily. "She was hit by a ricochet after she shoved Zoey and Charlie into the car. Bullet grazed her heart before exiting out her left shoulder blade. Docs aren't sure if she'll recover from her injuries." A blonde haired man in his forties wearing a white doctor's coat stepped into the room. "Mr. McGarry?" Leo stood. "Yes?" "Wanted to give you an update on Mr. Lyman," The doctor replied as he moved farther into the room. "We have him settled in ICU. We're keeping him there strictly for observation; the surgery went extremely well. I see no reason why he won't make a full recovery." "Thank God," Donna whispered as Sam placed a supportive arm around her waist. "Can we see him?" Sam asked quietly. "He's still sedated from the surgery and won't wake up for some time," the doctor replied,"But I'll allow you to see him briefly, one at a time." "Thank you, Doctor," Leo commented as he shook the man's hand. The doctor nodded as he moved toward the doorway. "I'll put your names on the visitor's list." After the doctor left the three friends stood staring at each other for a long moment each lost in their own thoughts. "Donna, why don't you go in first," Leo began breaking the silence. Moss shook her head. "I'm just an...." Leo gently placed a hand on her shoulder, "Don't you dare say you're just an employee to him. That's the fartherest thing from the truth and I think the three of us know that better than anyone. Besides I think Josh would much rather see your face than my or Sam's ugly mug." Donna flashed Leo a brief smile before walking out of the waiting room.
