Chapter One: Didn't We Almost Have It All
He's going to be OK. He's fine. He's probably not even hurt. It's Danny… He's dealt with everything… He can deal with this. STOP WORRYING.
Lindsay hurried to the scene, unable to push down the nagging feeling of dread. She forced herself to resist the tears that were forming at the corners of her eyes. There was no reason for tears, there was no time for tears.
Danny sat panting in the hollowed out trailer, every muscle and bone in his body screaming in pain. Just hang in there a little longer. He reminded himself that this was nearly over. He watched the heavily armed men standing a few feet from him.
He readied the chemical solution as one of them turned and headed towards him, his intentions unknown.
He uncapped the solution and just as the man got to him, he lunged forward and sloshed it in the man's eyes.
"AHHHHH!" The man screamed, dropping his weapon and clawing furiously at his eyes.
The other man turned at the cry of his partner. He swiftly placed his gun to his shoulder and fired just as Danny picked up the dropped weapon and aimed.
They fired at the same time.
Two worlds went black.
Outside, Flack heard the shots and the team proceeded with their attack, guns drawn.
Adam came rushing out as he heard NYPD screaming at the masked officers. "They're police officers!!" He exclaimed, yanking off their masks.
Flack and Lindsay glanced at each other, both breathing a small sigh of relief, only to have it cut short by Adam.
"Danny… He's been shot…" The tech trailed off, his tone hopeless and low.
Lindsay rushed back to the hollowed out trailer, her blood running cold at the sight of Danny in a crumbled heap on the floor.
God no… Oh God, please… don't…
THERE YA GO. CHAPTER 1.

Song: Didn't We Almost Have it All – Whitney Houston
I picked this song as the title because, well, they were so close….
