A million thought where running through Chris LaSalle's mind, as he laid on the floor of the warehouse bleeding to death. Last thing he remembered was telling King he was heading in. No time to wait the raid was going down. Now that he thought back, this had not been the smartest move he had ever made. He should have waited for King and Percy; you know how they say that your life flashes before your eyes when you are dying!

Well Chris thought he must be dying, cause that's what he was seeing. He was watching his life play out in front of him. And he hated the thought of leaving his family and friends behind. He had to get out of this alive. His mind went to images of his friends, then to his wife and his kids. God how he loved them, he just had to live thru this, he had to make it back to them, he hoped that they knew how he loves them, especially Merri…his Merri…he tried every day to show her how much. Darkness started to overtake him, he thought he heard voice's just as he was about to blackout..

"KING…KING..I found Chris..He's over here.." Percy shouted as she ran towards the fallen agent.. She stopped when she reached him.

"Look's like a lower chest wound, no signs of an exit.." Percy said as she knelt down beside Chris and started to apply pressure to the wound, so the bleeding would slow down.

King had reached Chris and Percy just as he had gotten off the phone; he knelt down beside Chris and took his hand in his.

"Hang in there my brother, help is on the way." Chris squeezed Prides handand he looked at him.

"Please…tell..Mere..I luv her..

"Oh no you don't Christopher, I'm not gonna tell her that! You are!"

Pride looked over to Percy, "Keep pressure on him, I'm gonna check on the ETA on the EMT's"

Percy nodded head and did as Pride told her too, she knew she need to keep Chris alert, so she started talking to him.

"LaSalle, tell me 'bout Brody? What was it 'bout her that drew you to her, like a moth to a flame."

Chris tried to muster a laugh at Percy's choice of words.

"Mere…She's…*coughts*…She's…I'm jus…"

"Oh crap…LASALLE….LASALLE…SHiT" Percy started to panic, Chris had just completely lost all consciousness … "Pride…Pride…" Percy started yelling, just as she spotted him running back into the warehouse with the EMT's behind him.

Both agents moved out of the way so the EMT's could get to work on Chris, they tried to listen to what they were saying ,so they would know what to tell Mere. They both looked at each and hoped beyond hope that they had gotten to Chris in time.

The EMT's placed Chris on the stretcher and raced him out of the warehouse, with Pride and Percy following them. They loaded Chris into the waiting ambulance and started to close the door when Pride stopped them.

"Where are you taking my agent to? I have to call his wife."

"Jackson Parish Memorial; tell her to hurry, we don't have much time."

This was one phone call that Pride thought he would never be making.. He picked up his phone and dialed Brody…


Mere was going about her day, just getting the house cleaned up from where her 2 terrors had destroyed it, she swore to herself that these kids got more like their father every day. Always into something, if you couldn't tell by looks then you could tell by the way they acted that they are 100% Chris LaSalle…Mere stopped what she was doing when she heard her cell phone ringing.. She walked over to the table and looked to see who was calling her… Pride flashed on the screen…Oh god she thought, somethings not right, she got a knot in her stomach..

"Hi Pride.."

[ "Umm…Hi Mere…I need to talk to ya, it's about Christopher…"}

Mere's heart stopped at that moment…tears started to flow…The she took a deep breath and tried to focus..

"Pride how bad is he? "

["Gunshot wound to the chest, no sign of an exit…"}

"Just tell me where he is, I'm on my way.."

["Stay put Mere, we are less than 5 mins from ya."}

Mere slammed the phone down and started rounding up her stuff she would need for her kids, she ran into their room and gathered up some toys and other things to keep them occupied, from there she headed into the kitchen to get some snacks for them. She knew she had to keep herself busy while she waited for Pride to show, this was a long ass 5 minutes. She had just finished putting everything in her grab bag, when she felt a little hand tug at her pant leg. She looked down to see her little boy looking up at her.

"Momma k?" Her heart broke, her sweet little son, he could tell his momma was upset…She reached down and picked him up and just held him close to her..

"Baby momma will be better soon, we are going to go with Uncle King to see daddy. "

"DADA YEA" Mere couldn't help but smile, as she looked at her son, there was no doubt his father is Chris, he looked just like his daddy made over. Let's go get your sister so we can all wait together for Uncle King..

"K..K..Momma…Down.." Mere sat him down and he took off into the other room, no doubt to get his sister. Mere was about to follow him, when she heard a knock on her door. She ran to open, and saw King and Percy standing on the other side. Mere eyed King..

"Did the EMT's get him stablized?"

"I'm not gonna lie to ya, he's bad..the wound is in the chest no sign of an exit, he..Ummm..he lost consciousness at the scene, last we heard he was being taken to Jackson Parish Memorial.."

Mere just stood there in shock, she wasn't going to lose Chris. He wasn't allowed to leave her all alone with their kids.

"Take me to him Pride. I need to be with him, I need to be with my husband."

Percy walked over to Mere, she placed her arm around her shoulders.

"Do you want me to stay with the kiddo's?"

"I think that would be better, I was going to take them, but now I think there're too small to understand. But let me go talk to them." Mere walked back into the other room, where her babies were playing waiting on their Momma.. She walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"Caden Christopher and Jennifer Emily please come over here I need to talk to you both."

Both kids ran over to their momma… They looked at her with their big blue eyes..She picked them up one at a time and sat them on either side of her.

"You guys remember how sometimes people get an owie?" They both shook their heads.

"Well daddy got a owie at work today, and well momma needs to go check on daddy and his owie.'

"I wiss it better.." Jenny said…

"No…Jenny..dada …stickie…" Caden said…

Mere smiled, "Guys those would both work, tell you what, when I see daddy, I will give him a kiss from Jenny and stickie from Caden…" ( a stickie is what my nephew calls a band aid )

Mere gave both her kids a kiss and sent them in the other room. She grabbed her purse and headed to the door, where Pride was waiting for her. She looked over at Percy and smiled, and then she looked back in the direction of her kids, she let out a deep breath and gathered herself, Chris needed her now more then ever.

"Take good care of them Sonja.."

"You know I will, now go…That man needs you.."

"Let's go Pride, take me to Chris."
