Jumping Suddenly

Steve POV

There was banging at the door and I whipped my head around. I stepped backwards and un- holstered my gun. "Alright. We got to go. We got to go right now. Chin, on me. Guys, we got to go right now!" I shouted as I had my gun pointed towards the door and was following Chin to cover. "Well, hey, hey, hey!" Danny was shouting but I just ignored him. "Right now!" "Hey! How 'bout we don't commit suicide, and we stand here and we shoot all the bad guys when they come out the door?" Danny said louder. "Good plan Danny, but what happens when your ammo runs out? What do you got? Four bullets left?" I said, peeved. "What are you gonna do then? Huh?" I said as Danny looked down and distressed. "Alright fine." Danny said giving in. "Steve, you win, but I hate it and it's a stupid idea, ok? It's a very stupid idea and you're gonna apologize to all my family members at my funeral, you understand?" I was getting fed up with Danny complaining so I said, "Yea, no problem! It'd be a pleasure, ok?!" I said looking at him then to Kono. "Kono! You and Danny first. Let's go!" I said then focused on my aim. "No. You go. You go first! It's your stupid idea! You be the guinea pig!" "Danny-!" I started but Danny cut me off. "I'll hold the door!" "Danny-!" I tried again but this time he shouted at me. "I don't want to go!" "Danny-" "Kono, go with Danny, I got Gabriel!" Chin said interrupting us both. Danny shook his head in disagreement and uncomfort. Kono nodded and started to Danny. "I love you buddy. Good Luck." I said. He turned to me as they walked away and said, "I hate you so much." I shrugged it off and told them to go. As they were getting ready, I told Chin, "Pick your shots. Conserve your ammo." "Copy."

As Chin and I were getting ready to shoot, we heard Danny shout, "We made it!" Then the shingle came off the door and I told Chin, "Here they come!" The door busted open and a guy walked through. I killed him with 2 shots. Chin shot the next one once and I shot him twice. Another one came, I shot him twice and Chin said to me, "I'm going for Gabriel! Cover me!" "Go!" I yelled as I fired a few shots.

Chin took off behind me and ran to Gabriel. Chin cut Gabriel loose and Gabriel said something to him. He got up and then ran to the edge, jumping off. I heard Kono yell the Gabriel got across and I shouted to Chin for him to go. He ran and jumped. As soon as he jumped I ran out of ammo and looked at my gun. Shit. I thought to myself. I ducked down and put in a new clip, checking to see I had a few bullets left. I took a few breaths and then got out out of my hiding. I fired at the door, none of them hitting any targets. I turned and ran towards the edge but the men must have been fast to come out the door. I heard shots being fired my direction and a few of them hit the ground by my feet. I kept running but then I felt a stinging in the left leg as I fell from it folding. "Ah, Damn it!" I got to my feet as quick as I could and started limping as fast as I could towards the edge. Bullets were still spraying in my direction but I just kept going. I finally reached the edge and jumped. I heard a man yell from behind me, "Not going to get away this time!" I felt a few bullets in the back of my vest and 2 hit below my vest. Getting hit with the bullets sent me off course and I hit the edge of the building. I hooked my arms on but my legs were dangling off. "STEVE!" I could hear Danny shouting but holding on was stretching my back which hurt like a bitch. "Danny…" I said faintly as my grip slipped off the edge. Danny jumped forward to try and grab me but only managed to slightly touch my arm. "NO! STEVE!" He yelled as I fell. I hit part of the air duct, then the building and then fell straight to the ground and that was when everything went black.

Danny POV

I watched after I failed to grab my best friend and bring him up from when he fell. I watched him hit the air duct, then the cement building, then the hard ground on his back. All that time, our eyes were locked and I could see something showing in them that I rarely ever saw. Fear. I was terrified that he was dead and all I could do was stare. Chin grabbed me and dragged me away from the edge after looking at Steve for a second. "Come on Danny. Well get him when we get to the bottom floor. Now hurry!" We took off running Kono and Gabriel running after us as after the men started to shoot at us.

We got to the alley and looked up to see the men and their boss who was on the radio. I look to Steve who was laying still on the ground, a pool of blood around him. If I was the men up there, I would have thought Steve was dead and that's why they probably didn't bother to get him. "Danny, wait." Chin said to me as I tried to get to him. "Chin! He could be dying or dead! Just let me go get my brother!" I whispered harshly. Chin looked taken aback. I wanted to apologize but Steve was just too important. I searched Chin's eyes and he sighed. "Alright. I have a few bullets left. I'll shoot while you get him. Ok?" Chin said. I nodded and got ready to run for Steve. "Go!" He shouted. I took off towards Steve as Chin shot at them. I grabbed the handle on the vest which was under him and dragged Steve towards the end of the alley.

"Hurry! I'm out! I ran faster trying not to hurt Steve. We finally reached the end of the alley and Chin helped me carry him. We could hear the men shouting, so I put Steve down and felt for a pulse. Once I found a slow steady one, I took out my phone to call Jerry who was at HQ. "Hello?" "Jerry! Get us to the nearest secure building!" "On it!...Ok! There is a theater a block away!" "Thanks Jerry call you later!" I hung up and told the others. Gabriel had been quiet but I didn't care right now. "Let's move!" I picked Steve up, who was still unconscious, and we headed towards the theater quickly.
