ACT THREE: PART TWO

-THE FINAL ACT

Daniel woke to things in his arms and something heavy in his lap. He expected to open his eyes to his bedroom but instead he woke to a NHS hospital room. In panic he sat up but immediately felt stabbing pain and crippled back onto the bed. He looked down to see a familiar fluff of blonde hair laying across his lap. Daniel felt instantly better. He had waited so, so long to see him again. Every day Victoria took his phone to make sure he didn't text or call him. He wanted to tell him so badly what was going on but if Yates had suspected something had been going on he would have disappeared again.

Daniel reaches out and stuck his fragile fingers through his lost loves hair. "I missed you..." he whispered.

Samuel stirred awake and rolled his face towards him. Daniel smiled brightly at him but he didn't get the same response...

Instead Samuel sat up slightly and smacked him hard across the face before laying back down on him. Daniel blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Nice to see you too." He said in shock. "What happened to not liking violence?" He asked but Samuel just nuzzled his stomach. "There wasn't much else I could break up with you over. Also that was for letting Hughes shoot him." Daniel rolled his eyes. "He was going to do it wether I helped him or not. Plus I didn't help him, I'm only helping him get out after... speaking of-"

"He's in jail. He said he did it at the scene. He called the ambulance for you and then they took you to surgery. John came and tried to take you to a different place but they needed to keep you for questioning when you woke up." Daniel got a shiver and threw up his hand. He took a sigh of relief seeing his A2 Ring glistening in the hospital white light.

"Heh when they picked you up Hughes said they had a heart attack seeing it." He told him. The ring meant he was Alpha two and it was universally known among most people that you don't touch it or the person wearing it. "Where's Victoria and Johnathan?"

"Outside. Making sure the detectives don't come in." He explained. Daniel nodded. They sat quietly for a moment just looking at each other like they were children staring at the sun.

"I love you." He said. Sam smiled. "You've never said that before." Daniel smiled. "Oh, oops." Samuel reaches up and kissed him for the first time in months. It was best not to tell him how long the coma was or what was going on at all in fact. All that mattered was that he was here and alive. Daniel pulled him closer. Sam had to put his knee on the bed to stable himself. They kissed and kissed until Sam was laying next to him on the small hospital bed. Daniel sat back and closed his eyes sleepily. He lay over Samuel's chest and fell asleep again. Sam kisses the top of his head and they fell asleep together.

-A HAPPY ENDING

It had been a month since Daniel had woken up. He had gotten out of the hospital pretty quickly and to Thorn's private one. Sam was there twenty four seven obviously, very happy with having Daniel back. Hughes had been released with no charges and quit his job at Scotland Yard to work for another Alpha in France with his wife, who got to open a cafe with Alpha threes help.

During Daniel's resting time he had actually gotten a visit from Alpha One himself, who actually flew from New York to see him. Sam only knew because he accidentally walked in on them talking in their toneless, psychopathic way happily together. After Daniel was better Sam went back to the station.

He was called to the head office almost immediately upon arrival. "You wanted to see me Sir?" He asked as he entered the Chiefs, rightly owned, office. He motioned him to sit down, seemingly deep in thought.

"A lot has happened in the last year." He thought aloud. "But that's not what I've called you in here about." Samuel looked at him confused. "I called you here to offer you a job. Lead homicide detective. What do you say?" Samuel was shocked. He stood quickly, almost sending his chair over, reached over and took the Chiefs hand. "Yes- thank you- oh my god I never thought." He fell back into the chair and composed himself. "Thank you." The Chief smiled. "I'm sure your curious about what happened to Yates." Sam nodded. "Turns out he was blackmailing the entire department. Every case he ever solved was by another person.... such a shame. Oh well. Everything's sorted and when we found you brought in fifty six of those, we had to promote you." Samuel was over the moon. His career was now twenty years ahead of what it was meant to be. They said their goodbyes and a new life was born.

Daniel and Samuel would travel the world when Sam had time off. He finally got introduced to Alpha One properly, he had actually turned out to be a kind man and he had now accepted Samuel as Daniel's other when he started saving a few of their members from jail.

Yes Detective Samuel Mason was Corrupt, but Daniel used the best kind of Corruption; Love.
