They quickly admitted her, having a bleeding head wound. The nurse tried to kick Kenny out but he gave her a look only a killer would know, "Frack you nurse, I'm staying with her, someone just tried to fracking kill her, try and stop me". Dahlia smiled a little, but her head throbbed something terrible. Kenny called Donn for the third time and cursed. "Donn's going to kill us both. But what the hell, isn't that his building?" he said as they were left in the room alone for the moment. She nodded, "He gave me that apartment." Kenny cursed and sat down. "This is all bad, very bad." He got back up, taking her hand. Dahlia looked at him, she wasn't used to affection like this. "Kenny, do you have a crush on me?" Kenny looked down, "I lost...my little sister to the Russians. They used her until she took some dirty heroine to end her pain. When Donn found you, I saw my sister in you. I hate that you're in the gang, you should be off at college". Dahlia smiled and Kenny touched her head gently. The doctor came in and smiled. "You have a concussion, some minor smoke inhalation, but you can go home tonight if your friend here promises to watch you". Dahlia looked sad, "I lost my home". The doctor nodded, "Well you can stay the night, but we need the bed in the morning. Here, take these, drink lots of water, and she is not to sleep until tomorrow around 11 am". He handed her a bottle and left. Dahlia looked at the pills and shook her head, "Abanadoned again. Its pretty much the same thing the state told me when my mom died". Kenny sighed and got up, "The state doesn't give a crap about anyone, you should have seen some of the creeps my sister and me ended up with". "Where am I going to stay?" she said, tears in her eyes. Kenny came over to help her up. "I think its best I either take you home, or we go to the club, although if Donn is pissed I don't want him anywhere near you, if he hits you with a concussion he can kill you." Dahlia nodded and Kenny cursed, picking up the water glass, and throwing it so it smashed against the wall. Dahlia sat up and took Kenny's hand, "You need this looked after". He nodded and she got up slowly, still in her pj's, and Kenny held her arm gently. She got the attention of a nurse who sighed, looking annoyed. "Frack you lady, we almost died, do your damn job". The woman gripped her jaw and Dahlia touched her head, the scolding causing pain, and she nodded. She took them to the burn unit where Kenny and her were escorted to a room.

Shortly afterward Dahlia was seen by a rather busy doctor. As for most hospitals, the place was overcrowded and understaffed. With a quick glance at Dahlia and some even quicker writing on a clipboard, the doctor began orders for treatment.
"Clean and bandage the areas, she's lucky enough where the burns might not need skin grafts if it heals well enough. What kind of pain do you feel? Is it more of a sharp pain, or a throbbing like a headache?" The doctor spoke quickly, causing Dahlia to question if she was speaking to her until she looked her in the eyes while checking vitals.
The doctor continued her questions in quick succession, "What caused all of this? There's been reports of an explosion at an apartment, where you involved in the incident?"
Even before receiving an answer, the doctor was continuing to write on her clipboard, her eyes watching Dahlia with a combination of assumption and interest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the nearby nurse's station, a fax was printing up, reporting on the status and details of the apartment fire. Along with the report was a bulletin requesting information on any incoming injuries that maybe involved. As well enclosed is a brief description of Dahlia, stating that she is wanted for questioning concerning the incident by police.

Dahlia looked at the doctor like he was an idiot, "Um..I have a concussion, they already scanned my head. We're here for Kenny. He burned his hand on the stove when he saw me slip on our hardwood floor". She took Kenny's hand gently and showed it to the doctor. The burn was a perfect circle more like a doorknob then a stove burn. Dahlia looked at him like she had no idea what he was talking about, "Fire? Explosion? I have no idea what you're talking about. I fell on our hardwood floor because it was cold and my feet just slipped, Kenny saw me go down and stopped paying attention to the stove". She smiled at Kenny like a girlfriend would, it was just easier for them to think they were dating, "We make a disastrous pair" she said with a false smile. Her head throbbed incredibly bad and the lights of the hospital weren't helping at all. She put her hands to her head and groaned, "Look, I really just want to go home and lay down, so can you look after him so we can go home?" Kenny looked at her, "You are not laying down, you have to stay up till tomorrow afternoon". Dahlia rolled her eyes and Kenny patted her knee, "You're going to hate my by tomorrow". Dahlia grumbled "I already do". She wanted a cigg and sleep, but she had another 12 hours before she could sleep, she was not going to be pleasant for work tomorrow.
When the doctor left Dahlia asked for Kenny's cell. "What are you doing?" he asked. She didn't answer and called one of the guys, "Hey, does he know yet?" The guy didn't answer right away and she heard a door opening and closing, "Dahlia, Daniel told Donn you're working for the Russians!" Dahlia's face went deathly pale, "What? I'd never, omg" The guy went as quiet as Dahlia and Dahlia sat down on the bed. Kenny stood up, "What's wrong, I've never seen you this unsettled!" Dahlia didn't look at him, "Someone has set me up. I hope to god Rebus believes me over some contact". Kenny knew right away something was wrong as she never called him that, Kenny took out his gun and growled, "I'm going to feed whoever is setting you up to our pets in the dungeon". Dahlia shook her head, 'It won't matter if Rebus kills me" she said softy. She shook her head, "I'd never betray him, but I don't think he'll believe that". Kenny looked at her, "Get lost!" She shook her head leaving the room and going out in the hall. Kenny came out and she looked at him, "What's the point, he'll find me. Plus, if someone set me up, that means they're after Donn. We have to find out whats going on, even if Donn puts a hit on me. Hopefully he believes me." Kenny punched the wall with his burnt hand and cursed.

The doctor raised a tired brow at Dahlia's explanation, but did not delve deeper into the subject. Once more, there was a quick moment of writing on his papers, and then the doctor glanced to Kenny.
"Nurse, let's get some bandages on this man. I'll begin filing the report." With nothing more, the doctor left, continuing on with his overburdened case load.
~~~~~~ The head nurse on duty sorted through the various information coming through by fax and computer. She chewed noisily on a long-bland piece of chewing gum while sorting through the tedium of hospital paperwork. Insurance forms. Incident reports. Perscriptions written in Doctors' chicken-scratch. The list went on...
An APB was a surprising change. The nurse looked over the information with no found interest. The woman's description tugged at her memory. Had she seen her? What room had that been?
She looked up from her desk to scan the various rooms in her view, trying to remember where she placed the woman. The gum chewing continued, giving the nurse the look of a cow in a field.
It nagged at her, the description. She was sure she'd see a woman just like it. Better to be safe then sorry, she lifted the phone to her ear, tapping on a few numbers till she was in contact with the security desk three floors above.
"Yeah...got something on this security fax. I'm pretty sure I've seen her. Better send a uniform down while I figure out what room she's in. Yeah...yeah. Burn Ward. I'll try and keep her occupied."
Rising from her seat, the nurse grabbed a clipboard and paced down the hallway, glancing into the various rooms for Dahlia. Reaching the room of interest, the nurse visibly blinked in recognition. An anxious energy took over as she suddenly realized she was going to do something interesting for a change. Help catch a witness for questioning. Far better then filing stupid forms.
"H..Hi..." The nurse nervously blurted, "We're almost...um...done here. Just need you to fill out some paperwork for insurance purposes...very routine stuff..."
Absently the nurse glanced at her watch, wondering how long it would take for a guard to get there.

Dahlia looked at the woman, then at the paperwork. Unfortunately for the nurse, Dahlia was more keen then the average hired gun. "Kenny, I'm not feeling well, actually I feel like I'm going to throw up, can you help me to the restroom?" Kenny nodded, believing it himself. He looked at the nurse, "We'll be right back, she had a full meal before slipping on the floor, its probably not going to be pretty". Dahlia grimaced at the woman and leaned against Kenny and limped to the bathroom. She pulled Kenny in with her and sighed. "She's stalling". Kenny rubbed his head. "Kenny, this is not going to work out well." He sighed exasperated and looked at Dahlia, "What did Eric tell you exactly?". Dahlia leaned against the wall, ""He said he heard Donn's door open, so he went to get his pay, but a suit was talking to him. He said he heard my name, then Russians, and then betrayed us. He said he thought it was Daniel but he didn't stick around to look because I called him". Kenny put his hands to his face and groaned.
Dahlia leaned over the sink. Kenny turned to her and touched her shoulders, "Dahlia, you need to get out of here. If Donn thinks you've turned dirty he'll put a hit out on you". Dahlia shook her head, "No, he won't, he'll do something much worse." She turned to Kenny. He was like the older brother she wished she had, that she needed. "I know more then our lieutenant Eric. I know the schedules, I know the frickin code to the vault downstairs. If I flipped or went dirty I could severely hurt Donn". She looked at him and shrugged, "And we can't trust Eric, I saw something last week, but i don't have proof so I haven't told Donn." Kenny looked hard at her, "You saw what?" She looked at the floor. "I had one of my sleepless nights, and the drugs didn't do a damn thing to help, so I went to the club early and helped Alex, the morning barkeep, open up. I went downstairs to get more beer for the bar and I heard Eric talking. I didn't see who he was talking to, but the person said. 50 grand is yours if you turn the other way every now and then". She looked at him, her pale blue eyes still dilated from the concussion, pale as a spring day. Kenny cursed and punched the wall.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he said, getting louder. "Because I didn't have proof. It would have been my word against his." Kenny cursed and opened the bathroom door, the nurse was looking in their direction. Kenny smiled, "One minute, she's cleaning up". Kenny came back in and handed her his cellphone and keys. "Look, dissapear for tonight, let me find out what exactly is going on and I'll call you". Dahlia nodded. "Do you have your pocketknife?" she asked. Kenny pulled it out and Dahlia flipped over the cellphone and flipped off the back. She flipped out a chip and stepped on it. Kenny raised an eyebrow, "Donn has tracking chips in all our cellphones, I found mine when I put in the firewall, I slipped it into the suv. If I'm lucky I get one night off with Merichelle and I'm not about to have the boss come crashing the party". She flipped the back, back on and handed him the pocketknife. Kenny looked at her, "You should take this opportunity to get the hell gone, this is no life for you".
Dahlia looked at the ground, "I can't Kenny". He folded his arms, "Why not?" She looked away, not being able to look him in the eye. "I'm loyal to a man who would throw me in front of a bus, and I'd take a fricken bullet for him". Kenny grabbed her arms and looked at her, "What does that mean?" Dahlia looked at him for a moment, then looked away muttering softly, "Like mother like daughter". Kenny's skin ran cold and he cursed and roughly let her go. "Thats just fantastic. You know he would just use you in a second". Dahlia rolled her eyes, "Thank you for reminding me why I feel like crap every morning. Look, you need to talk to Donn, if someone is setting me up, you need him to give me a chance to prove I didn't betray him, but its going to be much harder if I have to dodge a hit on me". Kenny nodded, "I'll go to the club after I leave here". Kenny unlocked the bathroom door, then came out and went up to the nurse. "My hand is aching so fricken bad, can you give me something while we wait?" The nurse didn't look convinced, "Where's your friend?" He looked at her offended, "She's going bathroom. I'm not a perv!" She sighed and nodded, "Come with me". Dahlia took that opportunity to slip to the stairs and out the hospital.
Dahlia found the suv quickly and nearly jumped out of her skin when her cellphone started ringing. She looked at it intently, deciding whether not to answer it or not, but the weight of Kenny's in her pocket told her not to. She went to the secret compartment in the back and pulled out her pistols, finding places in her clothes to put them, then went to the front, grabbing the sniper rifle. She stopped and sighed, "What are you doing Dahlia, why? You should run". But she couldn't, she was more angry that her trust had been called into question then that someone had tried to burn her. She sighed, "Please believe me" she whispered before dropping the keys into the seat and making her way into the city dissapearing.

rise up to do thy biddingRebus screeched to a halt in the ambulance bay, ignoring the security guy who tried to wave him away, and jumped out, storming into the front doors of the hospital. His overcoat flew out behind him as he sailed through the lobby and through to the ER, assuming that anyone from the explosion would be brought here.
"Dahlia Lianson!" he snapped at the girl behind the desk, and she glanced up at him worriedly while she flicked through the computer screen for admissions.
"Through there sir," she replied. "Cubicle four."
Rebus slammed through the door, almost knocking a young nurse off her feet, and flung the curtain back on cubicle four, to find it empty. He spun round, spotted the nursing station, and strode to it. Kenny was standing with his back to him, talking to a nurse.
"Hey," Rebus spoke to the nurse. "Where's the patient from cubicle four?"
The nurse frowned, and Kenny turned automatically at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Kenny, where the fuck is she?" Rebus growled, stepping forward and grabbing the guy's jacket.
"Hey, excuse me... Hey!" the nurse demanded, trying to step between them. "I'll have to call security..."
"Shut the fuck up!" Rebus turned to her, fixing her with a glare no one could stand up to.
The nurse gulped, and stepped back, then hurried round to the phone where she dialled a number. his master's voice((Ooc: left Kenny for you Fabled if you wish Rebus probably won't kill him either, but you never know ))

Daniel followed him in shortly the security guard in the Ambulance bay getting a deadly stare from the massive man. He followed Rebus through the hospital watching him as he got her room number and told off some nurse. He eyed Kenny opening his suit’s jacket to reveal a large magnum pistol tucked into his belt. “Not going to lie to you Kenny… I’m going to personally shoot you if you don’t tell us where the bitch went. Though don’t worry it won’t kill you… I’m not merciful to our enemies.” His words were ice cold and his stare could almost kill a man just by the pure venomous and hatred he put into it. “Now I know she used you… and now she’s left with out you… that is why you need to tell us where she is… or I will break your body like the porcelain it is…”

Kenny's eyes went wide when he saw Donn and he put up his hands as the nurse started to freak out. "Its ok, he's my boss, he's just reacting to the fact that one of his employees was attacked tonight". The nurse looked at both of the men, unsure what to do or who to believe, and backed away, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck raise from Donn's presence. When Daniel came over and spoke, Kenny's brown eyes turned a dark black color. "Screw you suit. I know Dahlia and she didn't use me. I trust Dahlia more then anyone else, she's a hell lot more loyal to Donn then you, pampered girly boy". He looked back at Donn, "Look, can we talk somewhere private, and I mean private, I don't know where she is, but I can find her, but I'm not finding her if you won't give me a chance to talk to you...alone". Kenny closed his eyes, he didn't want to tell him everything, specially not he true feelings, but Dahlia was depending on him, and he didn't want to see her hurt. "Please Donn, she was going to come to you, but I asked her to let me come to you first. I'll tell you what she told me but only alone".

Daniel’s eyes flashed ‘red’ he was tired of Kenny’s defiance. “I’m a girly man… heh heh… I’m more masculine then every man combined in your entire bastard family line. “ He said cracking his knuckles before sending a bunch swinging towards Kenny. The closest thing most could compare it to was a stampede of elephants… while it had enough strength to put most men on the floor… it also had no form behind it. It was clearly a simple brawl style. If Kenny managed to dodge it their would be a decent sized hole in the wall behind him.
“So whose the girly man now you little ingrate and Donn I highly advise against the course of action in which he asks… we both know Dahlia is a spin doctor… she’ll twist words and emotion until she has you in the palm of her vile hand. Leave her to me and my boys… she will regret her actions… of coarse I’ll let you take her final moments for yourself..”
His eyes went to Kenny. “As for you… if you know her so well… why did she leave you here when she knew we would be coming… she made it clear she knew we’d be coming… and she has run away… That just reeks of a turn coat… for if she didn’t do anything bad flee and not attempt to explain.”

Kenny easily dodge him, having done this dance with his brother for far too long. He sighed and looked at Daniel, "Dahlia saw something she wasn't supposed to, she doesn't know who to trust. She thinks..." he paused, he really didn't want to say this in front of anyone but Donn but he had no choice, "She thinks someone is trying to shake down our organization. I know Dahlia is telling the truth." He looked at Donn, "She made it very clear that she'd never betray you. When I questioned her she said she..." he shook his head. He really didn't want to say this to him, "She said she was making the same mistake as her mother. Donn, I really think you need to trust her, she seems quite clear she'd put her life on the line for you." He looked back at Daniel hard, "And she left because I told her to. Dahlia hit her head, she's sick, I didn't want you to do to her what you just tried on me." He sighed, "Donn give her a chance to prove she's innocent, look, I need to call my brother to find her. She hit her head pretty bad, and.." he hesitated. He was revealing far more then he wanted, "She's detoxing, the last four days. With the concussion the nurse here said it could kill her. Let me call my brother so he can look after her."

A few moments later elevator doors opened to reveal a lone uniformed officer stroll onto the floor. It had been slow going getting through the usual traffic and myriad of calls asking for security. Noting the disturbance in the hall, and the look of concern on the head nurse who appeared immediately calmed by his appearance, the officer stepped foward. Resting his hands on his belt, he looked between the arguing men.
"What's going on here gentlemen? If there is some kind of trouble, you'll have to take it elsewhere."
Turning to the nurse at the desk, he continued, "Sorry about the wait, it's been kinda swamped upstairs."

He rubbed his fist brushing plaster off it as he stepped back. “So you sent her away… from a hospital… when she’s suffering from a major concussion.” Daniel put his hands over his head as if attempting to refocus. “You sent someone who had a high probability they’d de due to being nailed in the head and a drug withdraw by herself… into a city were someone is gunning to -kill- her.: He turned towards the cop who seemed to stroll in. “Its fine officer… now I’m sure your busy so please carry on, there is no need to waste your time on a couple of friends having a small argument.”

rise up to do thy biddingRebus watched, half amused, half pretty damn pissed off, as Daniel swung a punch at Kenny. Rebus himself didn't like to get his hands dirty, so generally left that sort of thing to his minions, but on the other hand he expected those minions to have some self-control, and Daniel seemed to be allowing his personal grievences to get the better of him. They needed to keep Kenny sweet, for now at least. He may be the only one to know where they could find Dahlia.
He had to admit, even before they got here, the story of Dahlia's betrayal just didn't sit well with him. The girl had many faults, not least her reluctance tro sleep with Rebus, but lack of loyalty was not one of them. He knew damn well just how grateful she was to him for dragging her out of the gutter when she needed it. Or maybe his feelings for her were clouding his judgement...
Demons shouldn't have feelings, that much he knew, and that much he had managed to hide thus far from his master. But he had been too many years topside, and the feeble humans' emotions seemed to be rubbing off on him. She was his one weakness though, and nobody knew it except maybe her. And she would never tell... there was too much he could do to hurt her, and she sure as hell ought to know that a pissed off Rebus was not a pretty sight.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a cop, and Rebus put a restraining hand on Daniel's arm. He stepped forward, straightening his coat and plastering on an ingratiating smile.
"Nothing wrong, detective," he said briskly, all business-like. "We've just come to collect our good friend here, haven't we Kenny?"
He turned to fix Dahlia's cohort with a cold glare, embuing the look with the sort of threat he usually reserved for traitors. He would listen to what the man had to say, but he would do it back at the club, on his own territory, and without Daniel leaning over his shoulder just waiting for an excuse to take the guy out.

Tyson
Tyson had been wandering around the time for some time now, and found himself at the hospital, getting treated for a wound he didn't know he had. "Ugh." He complained, his hands entangled within his messy black hair.
His head pounded against his skull, daring him to move. Tyson looked around the small room, finally leaving it after an hour of just sitting there, feeling like self destructing.
The commotion at the nurses desk drew him closer to it. Even if Tyson wasn't in t he wars anymore, didn't mean he couldn't watch people fall to pieces. His eyes looked at Donn, who seemed pissed off. Tyson took a step back away from him. The number one rule, Stay alive. Self preservation ran in his blood and he didn't feel like dieing today.
His eyes narrowed at him, from a safe distance and recognized that he was a leader of the gang, one of the top in the city no doubt. Tyson looked at the Detective, raising his eyes brows, now insanely curious. He found himself leaning against the nurses desk, watching as the plot unravels.

Kenny gripped his jaw, knowing that look. Her closed his eyes and cursed it, she was worth it, she was just a little girl. Kenny was a few years short of 40, and even though he had every intention of getting out of the game to live a life with Thessa, he had stayed not wanting to leave the girl on her own in a viper's nest. "Yeah, right officer, no problem here, just a bad fracking night" he muttered. "She has my cellphone, I can call it and find her, but I aint with pants-on-fire here" he said motioning to Daniel, "Your just looking for a reason to beat on a girl"...then more quietly he said, "coward". It was soft and barely audible. Kenny hated nothing more then men that prayed on women, but working for Donn allowed him to take out Russians from time to time, revenge for his sister.
