He didn't know how long it last.

Two minutes?

More?

He felt the pain on his side where the sniper's bullet was hit, his ears were ringing after the explosion and he just knew that he was hit his head too hard on the side of the pool. But it all forgot when he saw Sherlock. He was floating middle of the pool, face down and not caring his pain John just stumbled up and dive after his friend.

It hurt to swim, but he couldn't care about that now. He got Sherlock and dragged him back to the pool's edge. The adrenalin gave him strengths to hoist Sherlock out of the water.

No breathing.

No pulse.

He started the resuscitation.

"Sherlock…"

He almost hammered Sherlock's chest.

"You are not going to die now! You hear me?! Damn bloody Sherlock and your cursed…"

And finally he started to cough and John rolled him on his side, letting the water come out.

Breathing, Sherlock is breathing. John held back his cry.

"John…?" Sherlock whispers, lying still, too weak to do anything.

"Right here you moron." John smiled, pulling him on his lap, warming him. Sherlock leaned his head on his shoulder.

"You are alive…"

"Yeah. We did it." John's whispered weakly and first time he realized the pain on his side. He held his friend more firmly.

"Good… it was… good." Sherlock sighed. "Now it's over."

"Over. Yes. It's over." John giggled almost hysterically.

"John?"

"You are alive Sherlock." John whispers in his ear and Sherlock tried to turn his head to look.

"John…"

"It's okay. You are safe now. It's all what I need to know." How heavy his eyelids felt.

"No, John, no, don't…" Sherlock try to get himself from John's hug, but he is just too weak. "Please John…"

"You can't do anything. Too late. It's good. You are safe. It's enough to me." John's eyes closed.

He can't hear the sound of police cars or ambulance. He can hear a weak voice repeating his name, begging him.

And finally even that is gone and there is nothing more.

More? I can leave it here and let you imagine what ever you want.

And yeah, English isn't my language so I'm sorry about my spellings.
