"I'm taking Lina." Mike held onto Lina's arm and started to lead her out.

"She's not going anywhere." Mike stared Sulla in the eyes and stood tall.

"I'm taking her." Mike started walking again. Sulla grabbed the knife off his plate and charged. Mike pushed Lina out of the way at the knife came down. It imbedded itself in Mike's abdomen. Mike didn't even feel the pain, he was to focused on getting Lina out. Sulla pulled out the knife and charged for Lina again, but Mike got in the way. The knife again entered Mike. He groaned, but stayed tall. Sulla was shocked, he had never seen a man withstand so much pain for a silly piece of meat. Sulla put his hands up.

"Fine, take her." Mike turned and tried to hide the pain as he and Lina walked out of the building. When they got outside, Mike nearly collapsed. Lina tried her best to hold him up.

"You save my life. You a good man." Mike smiled.

"I'm the police and I'm here to get you and the other girls out." Mike's eyes started to slide shut. Lina used all her strength to put him upright again. "Can you drive?"

"A little."

"Good." Mike handed Lina the keys. She helped him into the car and then went to the drivers side.

"Where do we go?" Mike pointed and Lina followed his direction.

"Ok, stop right here and flash your lights." She did what she was told. "Now pull over." Lina pulled over and soon a couple of cars pulled up next to them. Paige was the first one to Mike's car. Lina climbed out and smiled when she saw Paige.

"Lina." Paige ran to her, she froze when she saw all the blood on her. "Are you hurt?"

"No, I fine. He is hurt." Paige leaned into the car and saw Mike in the passenger seat.

"Call an ambulance." Paige ran to the passenger side and opened the door. Mike was barely conscious. "Mikey?" HIs eyes slowly moved to meet Paige's.

"I-I got her out. I p-promised I w-would." His voice was weak.

"You did promise and you kept that promise. Now I need you to make a new promise ok?" Mike nodded. "Ok, promise me that you will not give up."

"I-I p-prom-ise." Paige could tell he was growing weak. It looked like one stab wound was in his lower chest and may have hit his lung. Tears sprung to her eyes.

"I shouldn't have treated you the way I did." Mike looked Paige in the eyes.

"Y-you were d-defend-ing w-what y-you believed i-in." Paige leaned in a gave Mike a gentle kiss on the cheek. His eyes began to close.

"No stay with me. You promised."
