Sam stepped out from behind the human barricade that was made up of Ed, Jules and Leah. He couldn't be a bystander to the situation anymore. It was his fault, he didn't need anyone to tell him that. Matt was dead because of him and he would have to carry that with him for the rest of his life. It was hopeless for him or Parker to try and talk Danny down. Matt was killed by his own friend and what Danny needed now was to see him, to see the man that caused his brother to come home in a body bag.

"Damn it Sam!" yelled Parker from inside the truck. He knocked some stuff over and stormed out to his team inside of the bank.

Sam stared down the barrel of the gun that Danny was pointing in his face. He knew his team couldn't fire with him in the way. There were two unknown gunman still on the loose in the bank, Wordy and Lou were still trying to locate and contain them.

Danny's anger roared inside of him at the sight of Sam Braddock. His hands began to shake. "This is him!" he thought, "This is your brothers so called friend!"

"Listen to me Danny." Sam finally spoke, "I know how your feeling because I feel the exact same way. And I know people have told you over and over again that it was an accident." he paused, almost unable to get his next words out, "But that's what it was Danny-"

"Shut up!" screamed Danny as he thrust the gun at Sam. Although he was standing 7 feet away from his target, Sam still took a step back.

Sam's voice began to shake, "Danny I'm sorry" he took a few steps forward closing the distance between him and the subject.

"Talk to me Ed!" Parker was now running up the staircase towards the 4th floor where one of his team members stood with a gun pointed at his head.

"This isn't going well boss" whispered Ed into his communications device, "Sam's getting closer to the gun and we can't fire with him in the way."

"I hear ya" said Parker, now only one flight of stairs away, "Spike, Wordy, how we doin'?"

Spike and Wordy had their heat sensors in their hands and were closing in on the first unknown gunman. "Almost there" said Wordy quietly.

Parker entered the door on the fourth floor and headed to the access door on the other side of the corridor. The scene laid out before him as he entered the room was not what he wanted to see. The human barricade that team one had made to keep Danny from seeing Sam was still intact even though Sam had broken free from their cover. He now stood less than 5 feet away from the barrel of Danny's gun trying to keep him from getting killed the same way his brother did.

"Sorry isn't going to change anything!" yelled Danny, tears of rage now filling his eyes "I will never get my brother back!"

"And I will never get my best friend back!" Sam replied calmly, a different kind of tears were filling his eyes. His frustration with himself was wrapping him in a tight hold and would not let go.
