Summary: Daniel lies in bed and ponders the big questions

Flat on our backs, staring at the ceiling. Five minutes, ten, fifteen.

"Who?" I whisper finally and he sighs, knowing it was coming.

In the dark, his hand fumbles for mine, finds it and he threads our fingers together.

"Vacher, Benson and Cormac."

There's nothing else to say. A pain shared.

I roll onto my side towards him, bring our twined hands to my lips then press them against my heart. I lay my other hand on his chest and feel the reassuring ebb and flow of his breath.

His hand comes up to cover mine.

Now we can sleep.
