You've come back to me... Chap 1
"Jesus Mac, you like looking for trouble don't you." Don says as they walk away from hospital with Mac's forearm wrapped up after getting shot by Luther's brother
"Its nothing, just stings a little. I was lucky too. Luther was there and shot him and I shot Luther." I tell don
"So now what?" don asks me
"I don't know, I guess back to the lab." Mac replies back as he goes to pick up his phone.
"Taylor!" I answer. "Where? Ok stay put we'll be right down."
"What's up Mac?" don asks me as we head for his car
"Fernando Flores was spotted by the store next to where the restaurant where I talked to Luther." I tell him
"Ok lets roll!" don replies as he turns on the sirens and speeds up. We arrive at scene and the area is blocked. Everyone searching around to see if he is spotted and nothing until I hear mac yell
"Fernando Flores! NYPD!" Mac shouts as he starts to run after who he thinks is a suspect Torres' death. He keeps chasing him down until there is an explosion heard which sends mac flying a few feet away
"MAC!" Don shouts as he runs to where mac's body landed.
"Mac, its Don. Can u hear me? Talk to me Mac!" don pleads
"Sss Stel, Stella, tell Stell I love her." I hear Mac say out of breathe
"Mac, come on hang it there buddy. I need an ambulance over here!" as I check his pulse to make sure he's still alive which I'm thankful he is. Its a weak pule but he has one
EMS finally arrives and they take him away quickly connecting him to a machine to give him more oxygen.
"Come on Mac, stay with me. Don't die on me." I tell him again
"Stella, I - I love you" mac repeats as he loses consciousness.
As we arrive at the hospital I see them call for code blue as they quickly rush him in. I quickly pick up my phone and dial the one person I know mac needs right now.
"Bonasera?" I hear Stella answer
"Hey big sis!" I tell her in a happy tone
"Don what a surprise, how are you? How's everyone?" she asks me
"I'm doing ok everyone is fine." I tell her not sure how to break the news to her about Mac.
I hear Don's voice somewhat nervous like if he's trying to hid something
"Don, what's going on?" she ask me with a worried tone
"I - uh, stella, its Mac." I tell her
"What's happened to mac don." She asks me even more worried
"He's um," I stammer
Why is he not saying anything, oh god I hope mac is ok. Dammit I knew I shouldn't have left. I knew something would go wrong.
"Don!" I shout at him
"He's um in " " I tell her all in one
"You wanna repeat that"she asks.
"He's in the hospital connected to a machine and asked for you before he passed out." I repeat
"What? Don what the hell happened?" stella ask me
"I don't know we had left the hospital after he was shot in the forearm." I start to say before she interrupts me
"He was shot too? Oh my God Don, you know what, I'm on the next flight over to NY. You tell me about it when I get there. I don't want to waste anymore time here.
"Stella wait!" I hear don say before I hang up
"Don, I'm on my way there, I just need to pack." I tell him trying to get off the phone
"No, its not that, stella um I'm not sure if he was saying things at that moment but um mac said tell stella I love her." I hear don tell me and I just freeze
"Pardon?"
