I'm not entirely sure where this is going, but I can't seem to get this out of my head, so you will all have to suffer and read it … No of course you don't have to, but I'd be really really happy if you did and if you left a comment that would be even more awesome.

So this story is set after the season three preview. Tom, Wolf and Sasha, with the help of Jesse are making their way to Vietnam and the Nathan James. Danny and Burk are fighting their way back and are now at the harbor, trying to get a boat.

This is a teaser for a longer story I have planned.

Obviously, nothing belongs to me, except for the OCs :P

"Shit! This way!" He dragged Burk in the direction of the water. The voices drawing nearer by the second.

"Leave me behind!" Burk panted and at the same moment tried to extract himself from the other man.

"Hell no!" Green disagreed, not even stopping for a second.

"Danny, you're not going to make it with me. I can't run! Go! Get back to the ship!" he fell against a wall, gasping for air. "Go! You need to make it! Think of Kara and Frankie!"

Danny closed his eyes. It was true. His chances of making it without Burk were far better and he needed to make it home. He would not die without holding his son and wife again! But … at what price? He looked at Burk. The man got weaker by the second. With the bullet still logged in his thigh he wouldn't make it much longer. His pants were already drenched in blood. Soon the blood-loss would be too much and he would lose consciousness. There was no way he would survive alone here. Determined Danny send a silent prayer to heaven.

"We make it together or we don't make it at all!" He grabbed Burk and dragged him on. By now he could almost here the footsteps behind them. The stumbled out of the labyrinth of warehouse and stopped dead in their tracks. In front of them lay the open ocean, but no boat in sight. To their right, the way was blocked by a solid wall. The left … was an open stretch. No hiding places. Going that way would be suicide! And the voices behind them grew louder and louder.

"Shit!"

"I'm sorry, Danny!" Burk gasped.

"Shut up!" Desperately the Seal scanned his surroundings. There had to be a way out! Not to the left, not to the right, not back. That left only one way. The ocean. He dragged Burk forward. "God help us!" he mumbled, ready to jump.

Suddenly a loud noise disrupted his thoughts. From the ocean a boat drew nearer and fast. Another enemy? A friend? Still jump or wait and see? If they jumped, Burk would most likely not make it and neither might he, if they waited and it was an enemy, they were dead as well. Probable death against certain death. It shouldn't be a choice and yet, Danny hesitated. What if it was a friend?

The boat drew nearer by the second, but so did the people from behind. Jump or wait? Jump or wait? Burk got heavier and heavier. His consciousness leaving him.

Danny looked behind him. They were close, too close. Then back towards the boat. By now he could recognize more. He could see the person controlling the boat. Long hair, flying in the wind. Shocked he froze.

That was impossible! No way! How?!

"Get in! Now!" The woman called while directing the boat along the harbor.

In one swift movement Danny jumped into the boat, pulling the now almost unconscious Burk with him. They hit the hard floor. He could feel the boat accelerating immediately.

"Stay down!" the woman called again. The next moment bullets started flying. Danny covered Burk's body with his.

Soon they were too far away from the harbor for the bullets to reach them, but the woman didn't slow down. Determined she directed the boat to the open ocean, looking straight ahead.

"Look under the seat!" she called back at Danny. "There should be a first aid kit. You have to stop the bleeding!"

Luckily Danny had used the more peaceful times during the last months to brush up on his first aid knowledge. Quickly he put his new knowledge to work and treated Burk's leg. The treatment showed almost immediate effect.

Slowly Burk blinked, his eyes unfocused. Danny gently clapped his cheek. "Hey buddy, can you see me? What's my name?"

The other man blinked some more and nodded. "Danny." he rasped.

"Very good. See, I told you we would make it." the Seal smiled and for the first time since the shooting in the night club had started he relaxed. He sat down next to his friend and turned towards the savior. Her long hair was flying in the wind, her eyes focused on the path before her. She wore a pretty but entirely unpractical white summer dress.

"Care to tell me, where you are taking us?" he finally asked, trying to yell over the noise of the engine.

Her laugh rang back. "I thought your ship might be a good place. But if you prefer we can go for a sightseeing tour around the smaller islands!"

Danny shook his head. Confusion, relief, worry, and curiosity fought inside of him. Eventually the curiosity won. "I thought you were dead! Why didn't you contact me before? And what the hell are you doing in Vietnam?"

So this is the beginning. I just kind of needed to post it. It's so far unbetaed, so all mistakes are my own.

Who do you think the mysterious woman might be? Please let me know, I'm very curious to read what you think.
