Summary: Jane's thoughts while the end of finale
Hero By Skillet
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling from the edge today
"Janey?" I hear Frankie's voice in pain.
I look around confused for a moment before glancing down the stairwell. "Frankie!" I started to run down the steps, several at a time. "I'm coming!"
"It hurts." I hear him groan as I quickly kneel next to him.
I see him clutch his side. "Oh my god!"
He rips open his shirt, buttons flying everywhere as Booby comes up behind me. "The vest." Frankie says.
I sigh in relief.
"Smart." Bobby says nodding.
I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
"Help me." I tell Bobby as I grab Frankie's arm. "Maura." I say, and Frankie nods, understanding.
Bobby grabs Frankie's other arm and gets in postion, which is hard, for his shot leg. "On three." I nod at him. "One ... two ... three." We hall him up as firmly as we can.
Frankie groans in pain as we hook his arms on our necks. "Sorry." I tell him and look at Bobby. "Downstairs."
"Elevator's out." Frankie says as we slowly make our way to the basment steps, I want to go faster, but Bobby needs to limp.
"Hold on Frankie." I say as we all awkwardly decend the steps.
"Which office?" Bobby asks once we off the stairs.
"The big one ... main one ... first one." I try and get out my thoughs as they all bleed together. "Maura!" I call out, fear in my voice.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
"Jane?" Maura's voice is controlled by fear also, as she comes out from hiding. "Jane? There-there are men! Men with guns! What's going on?"
"Frankie's hurt." I think she finally notices Frankie and Bobby. "And Bobby." I point to his knee."
"Put him on the table." Maura says looking Frankie over.
"Forget me." Bobby says as he helps me put Frankie on the table.
"The dead people table? Already?" Frankie deadpans as we lay him down.
"Here." I turn to see Bobby handing his gun to me.
"No." I shake my head. "You watch the door. I'm staying her with Frankie."
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
I watch Maura push on his stomach until he cries in pain. I look up to see a scared look on her face. "Maur'?" I ask and she nods her head to move away. "I'll be right back." I tell him and squeese his hand before going over to her. "What?"
"Jane, he has massive internal hemorging."
"What? Maura, spell it out for me. Is it bad?"
She sighed softly, "It's worse then bad."
I gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today
"Maura, you have to do something."
She starts to studder. "I-I don't ... We can make him comfortable, help him breath better."
"Okay." I nod at her and run back over to Frankie, taking my jacket off. "I got you buddy." I smile at him as I place the balled up jacket under his hand. "I got you."
I gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
"Jane." Maura says in an ugernt voice. "We need to get him to a hospital."
"How?" I turn to Bobby. "Do you know how many there are?"
"A few." He answers. "A couple had MP3's."
I sigh as Frankie starts coughing up blood.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destory ourselves
"What? What's wrong?"
"Turn him on his side." Maura explains.
I listen to her and turn him on his side. "What's going on?"
Maura takes out a sethascope and listen to him. "Tension Nemo-Thorax. I think." She says.
"Do something!"
"I can't-I don't-I-"
I run over to her desk and grab a book, flipping though the pages.
"What are-"
"What's it called?"
"Jane-"
"What's it called?"
"Tension Nem-Thorax. But I could be wrong!"
I scan the page, trying to find it. "It can lead to death ... if not treated immedatly."
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
"My guess could be wrong."
"Maura!" I run back over to her and Frankie. "Your guess is better then most doctors!"
"Jane, I'm a pathologist, I don't have the equiment-"
"Maura!" I say, almost on the verge of tears. "He's gonna die if you don't do something!"
I watch her debate several moments before she ends up nodding. "Go grab swabs, tape, and alcohol."
Nodding, I sprint over to cabinet and rummage though it until I find the requested items. Holding them to my chest I walk back over to her and and watch as she puts the needle itno his chest, and he can breath again.
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero, just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
"Jane." Maura says to me. "He needs surgery."
"W-well, you can do that? Right?"
"Jane? You there?" Korsac?
I grab the walkie. "Korsac?" We're saved! Frankie's saved!
"Jane, that's going on?"
"I-I'm not sure. Frankie's bad off, and Bobby's got a bullet in the leg."
"Do you know if their after anything?"
"Jane." Maura says trying to get my attention. "The men. The men with guns. They were shooting at the evidence lockers."
I sigh, "And you didn't tell me this before?"
"Sorry ... I was kind of busy." She said softly.
"They must be after something." Korsac says. "Was there something you didn't log Jane?"
I think for a moment. "His ciggarettes."
"Jane, he didn't smoke. His old man died of lung cancer."
"His ciggaretts." Bobby says. "Where are they?"
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
And we'e not ready to die
Before I can answer, I see one of the gunmen come into the room. "Put it down." I slowly drop the walkie to the floor. "Give me the cigs, or this cops dead." He pointed the gun to Frankie.
"Alright! Alright. There in my jacket." Pulling them out and holding them out to him.
"Give 'em to Bobby."
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero, I've a hero
Living in me
I spin around on my heel and look at Bobby. It can't be. He's one of us! "You." I toss the ciggaretts at him angerly.
Pulling a single ciggarette out, he held it up. "Smile, you're on camera."
"You killed him. He wasn't dirty, you was." I say outloud. "You killed the witness."
"What's another whore? I'm a hero." He pulls out his gun and kills the other man.
In a flash, I'm using my body to protect Frankie and Maura.
"And as soon as I kill you three, I'll be an evern bigger hero."
"It's over Bobby." I hear Korsac's voice and look down, seeing Maura's foot on the walkie.
I watch as Bobby weighs his options, grabbing me for a shield.
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
As he draggs me outisde, I see SWAT all over, but they can't do anything. They can't do anything put point their guns.
"It's over Bobby!" Korsac yells. "Let her go!"
"Shoot him!" I yell. "Shoot him! Frankie needs-"
"He's already dead. " Bobby says into my ear.
"NO!" I yell and grab his hand, as we fight for the gun, our arms get tangled. Thinking quickly in the moment, I pull the trigger.
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
As my body hits the curb in a pain 'thud', I start to think pulling that trigger was a bad idea. But I doesn't matter. Nothing matter's anymore. It gets them inside. Inside to Frankie. Inside to Maura.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
I lay here, almost lifeless as Korsac and Frost run over to me, yelling to see if I'm okay. And then Maura is here. She's right next to me. She's putting pressure on my wound, to stop the bleeding. But there's blood everywhere, in my ears, I can't hear them.
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
"Frankie." I croak out and cough up a little blood. "Frankie needs-needs-he needs help." I look over at Maura. "You need to save him Maura. You-you gotta save Frankie."
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero
"M-Maura." I turn to look at her her. "I-I love-I love-" My eyelids start to feel heavy as the word goes dark. I feel at peace.
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
