Is it to late?
The team might lose both Mac and Stella.
Mac was in his office when he got the call. As usual he was at work an hour earlier than he should have been, so when he got the call he knew he would get to the scene first. On the way to the crime scene he had called Stella, Danny and Lindsay to tell them to meet him there. The victim they had to go to was found under Brooklyn Bridge.
When he got there he was surprised to see how quick the team came. Stella was the first one to come, five minutes after he got there, and after another 5 minutes Danny and Lindsay appeared at the crime scene. Flack when over to them when everyone was there and informed them about what was going on. The victim was a young woman about 28 years old. The team when over every little detail that could tell them something about what had happened. Lindsay and Danny was looking for evidence on the footpath beside the victim and collects everything they find. Mac and Stella were examining the body. They could tell from the wound on the back of her head that she was hit with something hard. Other than that they couldn't tell if she had suffered anything else. Mac was taking photos of the body, when Stella suddenly said "Mac can you see that shadow under the bridge? It has been there since we can and it's moving" Mac looks in the direction Stella was talking about. "Yeah I see the shadow, maybe we should let Flack go in there to see if there is something" but before he could finish his sentence, Stella was on the move towards the Bridge. Mac followed her, so if there was something she would have back-up. As they got closer the shadow began to run and before Mac realized anything Stella was pushed into the water by this person. Mac turned around and screamed to Flack that they got 'a man on the run'.
Flack runs past Mac as Mac steps to the edge of the footpath to look into the water. He can't see anything, it's too dark to see Stella in the water. When he can't see Stella the inside of Mac gets scared, he screams out Stella's name, but the only thing he can hear is the water and the people coming to see what happened.
Why isn't she answering when I call her name? Is she not able too? No of course she is able to answer him, but not tonight. Why am I feeling my heartbeat going faster, why am I feeling like this? Why isn't she here with me? Why did she have to go after the shadow? That was the thoughts that was going through Mac's mind as he prepared to dive into the water to try and find her.
Danny and Lindsay look at each other when Mac dive into the water, they didn't know what had happened but they had an idea. As they looked into the water they couldn't see anything and they were pretty sure Mac couldn't neither. So they went back to the crime scene and found some big lights they could use to give Mac some light. When they came back Flack was looking down into the water with a sad expression on his face. He had gotten the man who had pushed Stella in the water and some men in uniforms had taken him away. The three of them could see that it was taken Mac a long time to find Stella. Too long. They watch him in silence, but Flack was the first to break the silence. "It's taken him way too long to find her. She has been out oxygen for way too long now" Lindsay hit Flack on the arm and said "Don't you say something like that. He will find her". Flack couldn't do anything by to nod at what she had just said. He knew Mac wouldn't forgive himself if Stella didn't survive. And if God had heard him, Mac came to the surface with Stella and he went to help them get out of the water. When they were out of the water Danny, Lindsay and Flack saw that Stella wasn't breathing and that Mac began to do CPR on her. Mac struggles with getting Stella to breath.
I have to get her to breath, I have to. I can't lose another love of my life... Wait did I just think that? Is Stella the love of my life? Of course she i, every time something has happened to me or to her we have had each other. And I love being around her. She has to survive, she must. I haven't told her what I feel. With that in mind he bends down to tell her something. "I know you can't hear me, but I have to tell you something. You have to survive, you can't leave me like this. I don't know what I should do without you. I can't live if you're not here with me. Please don't do this to me, don't you dare to die. I can't live if I lose someone I... I love. Stella you're the... the l..lo.. love of my life, if you die I have nothing to live for" with that said he started to do CPR again. As the paramedics comes to take over, Mac is still doing CPR. He won't let go till he knows she is alive, but Danny and Flack drags him away, so the paramedics can do their job.
"Mac you have to let the paramedics do their job" said Flack to try and comfort Mac, but he could see that Mac was really scared. He had never seen him like that before. Before they knew it the paramedics went to the ambulance and got ready to go. "Mac just go with them... we will meet you at the hospital" with that said Mac ran over to the ambulance and went in. Flack and Danny went over to Lindsay who stood in shock and looked after the ambulance at I went to go to the hospital.
Danny tried to comfort her as she began to cry. "I have never seen Mac like this before, not even after Claire died" said Danny who was still holding Lindsay close to him. "I know what you mean, it was scary to see the way he reacted when we moved him" said Flack. He remembered that they tried to move Mac away from Stella so that the paramedics could do their job, but Mac kept fighting them of. He kept saying Stella's name and that she couldn't leave him and that she had to live. Suddenly Lindsay brook his thoughts by saying "You know what's gonna happen with Mac if Stella doesn't make it, right?" yes they all knew what was gonna happened. If they lost Stella they would lose Mac too, she was the only reason he was with them now, they all knew that.
