Shannon had not let go of Henry's hand all night. Sleep had been full of bad dreams, and she had not moved from the chair. Waking she looked over at Henry who looked peaceful, she hated to think the trouble she had caused him, and what her future was going to be like.

His eyes opened lazily, and looked around. He wasn't in pain anymore, but it still hurt a little to move. He held his stomach, hoping he didn't have any internal injuries. "Shannon?"

Shannon smiled as he asked for her, "Henry! I am right here, I guess my career is over!" She tried to laugh, but it didn't take. "How are you feeling today? I am so sorry I-I had no choice...."

He coughed a little, sitting up. "I'd be lying if I said I felt good. They took Faith, I got beaten again...but at least I'm alive." he looked over at her. "I'm glad you've left that place. Didn't suit you."

Shannon scoffed, "Well maybe none of that would have happened if I had not given in so easily to them...I am so worried, what are we going to do? How are we going to find Faith? We don't even know if she is still alive!"
Shannon rolled her eyes, "I should have just let them kill me, I mean I knew it was coming, they all hate me there...at least the fear would be gone then!"

"Hey, don't say that." he said. "Because of you, I'm still alive. I should thank you for that."

Shannon looked down, "No, they threatened me and I just caved, I should have stood up to them, they wanted to kill you! And now they have Faith! What am I going to do now? I cannot go home they will look for me there, oh God what am I going to do? You must hate me!"
Shannon tried to fight it but the tears beat her to it, crying was all she could do, she felt helpless and small.

Cordy walked up the stairs, still kind of tierd she felt like her feet were tierd to boulders. If she hadn't misplaced those damn Pills she be up and ready for the day.
She knocked on the door and smiled. "Just checking in." she said with a yawn.

He put his arm around Shannon, holding her in. "I don't hate you." he whispered softly. "I wouldn't even if I had reason to."

Shannon rested her head on Henry's shoulder, her tears soaking into his shirt. "Thank you" was all she could manage.
The knock at the door made her jump and she looked up to see Cordelia standing in the doorway. Wiping her tears she smiled awkwardly, "Good morning, any news?"

"Yeah, what's the good news, if there's any left?"

"Well, I don't count that as good news." he said. "When he comes back, he isn't going to be pleased. Most likely, he'll be angry at me. Start accusing me."

Cordy had already thought about that, and she knew it was her job to keep him and shannon safe. "Ya already *Yawn* got that. He should be back *Yawn* soon, and i'll keep you two safe. He'll have to go *yawn* through me to get to you."
She smiled sweetly.

"How very uncharacteristically forgiving of you."
