False Accusations || Don

Aubrey looked up and nodded, acknowledging the question. "He's doing pretty well. From how he's recovered so far, I'd say he can go home pretty soon. Whenever he's ready, really, as long as he takes it easy for a few days and then I'm giving a mandatory month to two months off duty just to make sure he's fully recovered by the time he tries to jump of fire escapes again,"she said with a small smirk. "I'm almost certain he's tried it before and I wouldn't be surprised if he has or tries to one day."

Don smirked and agreed with Dr. Hunter's last comment. "Yeah he has tried that before. He was thrown off the balcony of a building and was house bound, but u think he listened to doctor's orders to stay off his feet? No chance. He was so reluctant to get back to work that he had us bring the cases to his apartment. That's how much involved he wanted to be. But I'll pass on the word to him. Thanks for everything." he said before returning back to Mac's room.

Dr. Hunter laughed. "Yes, I remember that! I was the doctor that told him to stay off work, actually,"she said with a smile at the memory of how stubborn her patient had been back then. He hadn't a changed a damn thing, and that was what she found hilarious. "Keep an eye on him, that one. He's trouble just waiting to happen if I know his medical records well enough."

Don waved at Dr. Hunter as he made his way back to his friend's room. "I'll do my best, Dr. Hunter." he said. Don arrived back at Mac's room and told him the news. "Well, on top of her wanting me to keep a close eye on u since you're a stubborn patient, she says u can go home whenever you're ready. She did mention a mandatory two months off duty to make sure you're fully recovered, so until then, no jumping off fire escapes." he said.

Mac smirked. "She knows me too well,"he said. He looked over at Brad, "Can I assume you want to drive?" Brad looked taken by surprise and Mac smirked again. "Don't think I didn't see your driver's license, silly. Here's the keys,"he said, tossing the keys to the Avalanche to Brad. Brad caught them and shot a playful glare in Mac's direction before he stood. "Am I right in assuming that you're ready to blow this joint?"he asked. Mac smirked one more time as he stood, "Hell yes, I am."

Don rolled his eyes at Brad's last comment. "Can I assume that u still wanna get your but kicked in Madden?" he asked.

Brad grinned. "More like I'll kick your ass!"he corrected with a laugh. Mac smirked. "Sorry Don, but I'm rooting for him,"he said with a nod in Brad's direction, making Brad flash a triumphant smile.

Don shrugged his shoulders. "Now can I assume you're rooting for him only because u now have full on custody of him?" he asked with a mischievous look.

Mac frowned slightly. "That's part of it, but it's also because I've seen his skill. He's pretty good, Don. You sure you're up for the challenge?"he teased, smirking now.

Don rolled his eyes. "Ok u wanna make a bet? If I win, u boys buy me coffee for a week but if u win, I buy u dinner and drinks for a week." he said.

Mac and Brad exchanged a glance, making them both smirk, before they looked back to Don. "Done,"Mac said with a nod. "I know where I'm putting my money,"he said, giving Brad a comradely pat on the back. Brad grinned and looked over at Mac. "I play for the best,"he said with a smirk. "Ouch!"Mac said, shooting a smirk in Brad's direction, "Damn, that's a big compliment!"

Don nodded and rolled his eyes. "I'd better recruit some guys to root for me and put money on me if I'm gonna beat u guys." he said. Don then laughed. "U think Danny is a good choice?" he asked jokingly.

Mac laughed. "He might be of help to you,"he joked back, smirking.

Don pulled out his phone and dialed Danny's number. "Danny, meet me at the Precinct, I'm with Mac and Brad and I'm in deep trouble and I sure as hell could use your help." he said.

Mac laughed and Danny smirked, "Did you get yourself into a tight net against those two?"

Don looked at Mac and Brad before he answered Danny. "Uhhh yeah, I kinda made a bet against those two and the plan was if I beat them in Madden that they would have to buy me coffee for a week and if they win, I would have to buy them dinner and drinks. Problem is I'm desperate and would love for u to be on my team to kick their asses." he said.

"I won't make promises, but I'll at least be your peanut gallery and watch. Should be interesting watching those two kick your ass to Timbultu,"Danny said with a laugh.

"Thanks Messer, guess I'll ask Adam instead since I seem to trust him more." Don said.

Danny laughed. "Alright, alright, don't get your panties in a knot. I'll be there and see if I can't work my Messer magic and at least improve your chances,"he said. "If we lose, I'll swing half the cost."

Don shook his head as he listened to Danny. "Sounds like a plan, Dan-O. We'll be waiting outside the precinct. Oh and while you're there, grab some popcorn too, it's gonna be one hell of a night." he said.

Danny grinned. "Alright. I'll brink some popcorn along and see you guys there!"

Don smirked. "We'll be waiting, Messer." he said.

"Oh, don't worry. I won't keep your sorry asses waiting too long,"Danny joked as he started for the precinct to meet the trio.

Don smirked. "Yeah I bet u wouldn't, Messer." he said.

"I'm serious this time!"Danny grumbled defensively. "I'll be there!"
