Thankfully, Grant's keycard operated the service elevator in the Wagner Building or they wouldn't have been able to get Daniel upstairs. Night cloaked their movements and as soon as they had him comfortable and the medical supplies from the ambulance stowed, Hannah left to dump the vehicle.

When she left, Lisa cornered Grant. "You listen to me," she said quietly. "What's happened to Daniel-I mean, Dr. Cossick ... All those broken bones and bruises and internal bleeding? It's because of you. He lost everything-"

Grant watched as she stopped to collect herself, pools forming beneath her eyes.

He wondered just how close these two were.

"So I'm telling you right now," Lisa said, a fierceness appearing behind her vulnerability. "If I find out that you weren't worth what he's done for you ... I will make you live to regret it."

Grant blinked, thumbing his ring nervously from underneath. "Um, yeah ... You got it."

Julie appeared from her bedroom, ignored the visitors and turned straight to Grant.

"What did you do now? And why did you steal an ambulance?" she asked, sleepy.

"How do you know about that?" he asked.

"It's all over the news. Or rather, you are. They've got police sketches of you and everything that they're showing on television. Saying you were involved in another kidnapping-after my abduction-this time of a local research scientist." She saw Daniel for the first time on his gurney near the window and stopped for a long second. "Okay," she said, testy, "explanation. Now."

"Well-" Grant replied but Lisa interrupted.

"I tried to get him to take a rest, recover his strength, but he's determined to talk to you. So come on."

Grant and Julie followed Lisa back into the living room. Daniel's head was turned to the window and the shimmering sea of lights that filled the dark as sure as stars filled the sky. He appeared lost in thought at the sight of it all.

As if sensing Grant approach, he let out a shuddering breath.

"I have a question," Daniel said, wringing his hands together again and again, turning his eyes to Grant. "If your entire identity is stripped away from you ... what remains? What's still there? Who are you, really?"

Julie hung back toward the couch, but Grant stood in place. "So you know, then," he said.

"I suspected."

Grant sat on the arm of the couch where Daniel could see him.

"Forgive me," Daniel tentatively began. "This is Lisa. My assistant. Do you prefer Grant or Collin?"

"Grant. My sister, Julie."

"Of course," Daniel nodded nervously. "Please call me Daniel."

Lisa retrieved a clear bag of fluid from a handful of supplies she'd brought from the ambulance-Hannah was due back in an hour or so with more-and hung it from a metallic rod sticking out of the top of Daniel's wheelchair. She plugged the line from the saline I.V. bag into the matching line still sticking out of his forearm.

Daniel nodded a quick thanks to her and then turned his attention back to Grant. Lisa walked to the countertop that separated the kitchen from the living room and leaned back against it.
