[AN: If you haven't watched the Season 3 Episode 'The Mole', I suggest you watch it before reading this story. It is centered on that episode, well the end of that episode.]
Too Late?
The Team:
Don and the team had gotten a call from some local cop who had seen Colby go out onto the dock in the Harbor shortly after another man had headed down to the docks. The cop told them that the first guy was the one that the FED's were looking for via the BOLO that had been put out. He didn't know what Colby was doing down there but that it might have had something to do with the fact that the Agent had wired himself before exiting his own vehicle.
The team had gotten into their own vehicles after looking inside Colby's car for any evidence as to why he might have come alone. All they found was what looked like a playback for some kind of recording that was happening at the moment. They took off for the dock hoping to catch Dwayne before anything serious happened. They weren't expecting to find Dwayne gone and Colby lying in a pool of his own blood, but that's what they saw when they screeched to a halt and ran from their cars to the dock.
At The Dock:
Don got to Colby's side first, then David and finally Megan. Megan turned to a few agents behind her and yelled for them to call an ambulance and fast. Don put his hand on Colby's neck, trying to find a pulse. He sighed in relief when he found one but knew that it was far from over as they had to get Colby to the hospital and into surgery in order to save his life.
David was the first to see the wire taped to his chest. He pulled it away and put it in an Evidence Bag so that it didn't get lost in the transfer to the hospital. All had worried looks on their face as the medics raced to Colby's side. One of the medics cut Colby's shirt off and it didn't take long to see where he was bleeding from. Megan looked away, unable to look at what Dwayne had done to her friend. A silent tear ran down her face as the medics worked on Colby. There was no telling if Colby would actually make it through the night let alone the trip to the hospital.
The medics put Colby on a backboard and then on the stretcher. They hooked him up with an IV and placed an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. Bandages had been placed over his wounds but the gauze was quickly being soaked through with blood. The medics moved quickly, transporting Colby to the ambulance. David said he was riding with Colby and handed the Evidence Bag over to Don. Don grabbed the bag and everyone headed to their own vehicles. Don called Charlie on the way to the hospital, telling him to get Allen, Larry, Amita and himself over to UCLA Medical Center because that was where they were all going.
Will Colby make it to the hospital? Will he make it through the night?
