Hey thanks for the follows, new followers and alerts. Just so you know...this story is finished. Has been for quite a while. The only problem is that I have a hard time dividing this story into chapters. But I promise I'll make a big effort to get them sorted out.
Please read and review

Joey made it to the bedroom. Blood dripping from his arm. He grabbed the gun and went back. He had to keep them downstairs. He made it back to the top of the stairs. He couldn't see them but he could hear them downstairs. He looked around the corner. A bullet whizzed past his head. He fired in the direction and heard a grunt. That meant he hit someone. They started firing back, and Joey was heavily outgunned. His weapon was no match for the machine guns they were carrying. He retreated to his bedroom. It was the only way he could get them away from the kids. He fired a few rounds and moved back to the bedroom.

Mikey saw a glimpse of the cop. He fired and cursed when his bullet didn't hit their mark. Ramón and Hector looked at Mikey.
"I missed him." And before Mikey could get to cover one of the bullets fired by the cop hit him. Mikey grunted and sank to his knees. The bullet hit him in the gut. It was burning and hurting. They could hear the cop's gun click empty. Mikey got up and the three of them started firing simultaneously. They could hear scuffling and a door closing.
"Ramón, we go for the cop. Hector, you find the girl." Mikey said. This should've been his operation but his uncle didn't think he was ready. But he would show him. He advanced to the stairs and Ramón had no choice but to follow him. He looked at Hector and nodded. They reached the top of the stair and Ramón. and Mikey went left while Hector went right. Ramón took out his pistol. He slung the machine gun over his shoulder.

Joey was thinking. He was standing on the balcony hidden in the shadows. He hoped that the kids were safe and that help would come soon. From what he heard, they were after Grace. He used the darkness to conceal himself. Bloody nose was the first to come out on the balcony. Joey waited until he was close enough. He quietly moved behind him and wrapped his arms around his neck. He held him in a chokehold. The guy was struggling. Before Joey could finish him something hit him in the head. He fell backwards. The white hot pain taking over his body. He tried to breathe through it but the pain was too much. Before he succumbed to the darkness his only thought were the kids.
Mikey fell to the floor. Coughing and holding his throat. He almost blacked out. His throat was sore and the skin tender. He kicked the cop twice in the gut, only to be reminded of his own wound.
"Mikey, we have to go. The cops are coming." Hector came with the twins.
"I couldn't find the girl. I figured these two should be worthy just as much." He glanced at the man on the floor. Jared also looked at the man on the floor. Tears streaming down his face.
"No, that's my dad." His voice broke. He tried to escape from the man's grasp but he was unsuccessful. "DAD!" Jared yelled. Hector walked away with Jamie over his shoulder and dragging Jared along. Ramón helped Mikey and they made their way to the van.

Danny was still on the phone. Steve called HPD and they were on their way just as Steve, Danny, Chin and Kono. All of a sudden all hell broke loose. He could hear the man asking Jamie a question and then he heard Jamie scream followed by another scream. He heard Jared yelling something about Jamie being hurt. More gunshots were heard and Danny's heart was beating in his throat.
When Danny mentioned gunshots Steve floored the Camaro. He was gripping the wheel tight. They arrived twenty minutes after Danny answered the call.

Everything was quiet, too quiet. Steve and Danny both drew their guns. Steve was the first one in. Chin arrived as Danny was about to enter the house. He took his shotgun and followed Danny. The sound of sirens was becoming louder and louder.
"Clear." Steve said.
"Clear." Danny said. They moved to the stairs and it was riddled with bullet holes. They found blood downstairs and on the top of the stairs more blood was found. Steve stomach was churning. Afraid of what he may find. He went left to Joey's room while Danny went right. Steve reached the balcony and his heart nearly stopped.
"Joey. Joey." He called out. He ran to Joey and put two fingers in his neck.
"Danny in here." Steve yelled. Danny ran to the balcony. Weapon drawn.
"Oh man. How bad is it?" Danny asked seeing all the blood pooling underneath Joey's head and arm.
"He's still breathing but he needs a doctor." Steve said. Chin came in.
"HPD just arrived. I have them processing the whole floor. Kono is helping." Chin looked at Joey. "How's he doing?"
"He lost a lot of blood and it looks like he took one to the head and one to the arm. His pulse is thready. I'm afraid he may go into shock." Steve said.
"The paramedics are on their way." Chin said. Danny walked back to the twins' room. He spotted the blood on and near the toy chest. He felt like throwing up. He pushed the nausea down.
"Grace. Monkey it's safe." He yelled. He felt like crying where was his daughter?
"Jamie, Jared!" He yelled. For a minute he feared the worst and he thought back to Rick Peterson. "Grace! Gracie." Danny was close to panicking. He turned around and saw Grace standing there.

Grace heard Danno's voice but she couldn't believe it. She thought she imagined it. Then she heard it again. She wanted to run to her Danno but was afraid that the bad guys were still there. She emerged out of the "secret" room and saw her Danno. He turned around and she ran to him.
"Daddy." Was all she could say as she started crying. She threw herself in his arms and held him tight. She tried to talk but everything came out incoherent and jumbled.
"Monkey, where are Jared and Jamie?" Danny asked. Grace buried herself deeper in Danny's arms. Danny squeezed her tighter. She was safe. Grace was safe.
