"Danny!" Steve screamed as he immediately crouched down near his fallen partner.

He was well aware that every second he spent there was another second the criminal had to escape, but nothing was more important to him than his partners life. So if whoever shot Danny got away now, so be it. Steve would find them later, and there would be hell to pay.

He quickly pulled out his cell phone and dialed. "I need an ambulance at 257 Pukoa Street!" He shouted. "I have an officer down. GSW to the neck. I need help NOW!"

"Oh god, Danny!" He cried, dropping the phone and quickly putting his hands to his partners neck, trying desperately to stop the blood from pumping out.

Danny's eyes were blown wide with panic as he fought for every breath he took. His eyes roamed around frantically and Steve could tell he was having trouble focussing.

"Look at me Danny! Look at me!" Steve ordered, waiting for his partner to comply. "That's it buddy. Hey, I got you alright? I'm right here. You're going to be just fine Danno."

"Steve-" Danny managed to gasp out, grabbing a handful of his shirt and desperately pulling at it.

"No no no. No talking!" Steve said. "Just breathe buddy, keep breathing. Ambulance is on the way."

Danny shook his head slightly. Steve pulled him in tighter and used one hand to wipe the tears that were spilling from his partners eyes as he continued to struggle to breathe.

"Grace..." Danny managed.

"Grace is going to be fine Danny. You're going to be fine. I'm going to make sure of it. You're gonna recover and be back on your feet for Gracie's cheerleading competition in two weeks. You hear me Danno? That was an non-refundable ticket I bought and I'll be damned if I'm going without you partner!" Steve rambled.

Danny cracked a tiny smile and Steve noticed with panic that his eyes were starting to slip shut.

"Hey!" He shouted, giving Danny's shoulder a firm shake. "Don't you dare Danny! Stay with me! You hear?! Stay right here with me man!"

"I'm sorry," Danny gasped, before his entire body went lax in Steve's arms and the desperate gasping stopped all together.

"DANNY!" Steve shouted frantically as the sirens finally rang out behind them.

The actions that followed and the ride to the hospital were a blur for Steve. He kept his eyes on Danny as the paramedics loaded him into the ambulance and started sticking him with needles and attaching him to a heart monitor and oxygen tank.

Steve squeezed Danny's hand and whispered encouragements in his ear every now and then. He knew his partner was out cold and probably couldn't hear him, but he needed Danny to know that he was there, and that he would get him through this.

"How far out are we?" The paramedic asked the driver.

"Two minutes," he replied.

"Make it one! He's losing too much blood and we're running out of time!" He shouted in reply.

"We're almost there Danny," Steve whispered. "Almost bud, hang in there."

He looked up and gasped when he saw the ever growing pile of bloodstained bandages surrounding his parter.

"Oh god..." He whispered.

The paramedics and Steve jumped when the shrill sound of a flatline filled the air.

"NO! Danny!" Steve shouted desperately.

I seem to be a bit of a fan of cliffhangers! I know it's short but this seemed like a good place to end it ;) I'm hoping that future chapters will be longer! They always seem so much longer when I'm writing them!

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know how you liked it! Cheers :)
