The neurosurgeon took off his gloves in defeat and left the OR. How could his patient give up on them so easily like that? He made the long walk down to the OR waiting room.

"I am looking for the family of Dr. Jason Bull?" the neurosurgeon asked.

The TAC team stood up and gathered around the surgeon.

"We are his family. How is he?" Benny asked trying to hold back the tears.

With a deep and heavy sigh the surgeon had to tell them the news.

"I am so sorry, but Jason didn't make it. We tried everything we could to get him back. His injuries were too severe." The neurosurgeon explained trying himself to not cry.

Benny was in complete and utter shock as was the rest of the team. Marissa fell into the closest chair next to her and broke down in tears. 'How could he be dead?' Marissa wondered. He was alive this morning and now he's dead. None of the team wanted to believe their fearless leader was gone.

"Can we see him?" Benny insisted.

"They are closing him up right now but yes as soon as they are done you can go back and say your goodbyes." The neurosurgeon responded.

The rest of the team had questions as well and the surgeon was patient enough to sit down and answer them all.


The surgeon that had worked so hard to get Jason back stood next him hanging his head in defeat. He doesn't want to give up on Jason even though the monitor still showed a flat line.

"Just one more time." The surgeon whispered.

He shocked Jason one more time and his heart was still unmoving. The surgeon walked away from the table to see what time it was so that he could call the time.

"Time of death 6:42 p.m." The surgeon announced.

Before he could write it down something stopped him as he heard a familiar noise. Jason's heart let out a very weak thump. The surgeon waits to see if it's going to keep beating thinking he is just imagining things. With a soft thud and a noise on the monitor, the line jumps slightly catching the doctor off guard. He rushes back to Jason's side almost to encourage Jason's heart to do it again. The doctor encouraged Jason's heart to beat as if he was at his favorite sports team.

"Come on you can do it. I know you can!" The surgeon said as he thumped Jason heart a little.

All of a sudden Jason's heart picked up the pace and the monitor came back to life. With a cheer erupting in the OR, they finally knew they had Jason Bull back.

"Wait a second, where is Dr. Jackson?" the surgeon asked.

"He went to tell the family of Jason's passing." A young nurse answered.

"Shit! Go get him and tell him that Jason is back with us and we need to finish this procedure stat before Jason decides to run away from us again." The surgeon said as he went to dive back into finding the internal bleeding in Jason's abdomen.

The young nurse went running down the long hallway before she finally found Dr. Jackson consoling Jason's family.

"Dr. Jackson, I need to have a word with you." The nurse said out of breath.

"Excuse me for a moment." Dr. Jackson said leaving a distraught TAC team.

"Markie what is it?" Dr. Jackson asked.

"It's Jason Bull! Dr. Martin was able to get a pulse finally. He's alive! Dr. Martin has already started back to work finishing the repairs." Nurse Markie said.

"I will be there shortly." Dr. Jackson said before going back in with the team.

"Well there is a bit of good news. I was just informed that right after I left the OR, they got Jason back. I need to scrub back in to finish the procedure. You will be informed once Jason is out of surgery." Dr. Jackson said before rushing out to join the others in OR.

The TAC team stood there in disbelief.

"I thought Dr. Bull was dead!" Cable remarks.

"This better not of been some poor prank someone is pulling on us." Benny said.

"You know miracles do happen." Marissa said, herself trying to comprehend what was happening.

It took another three hours but the Dr. Martin was able to remove Jason's spleen once he found that it was the main source of the bleeding. The surgeons finished the surgery and moved Jason into recovery. After his vital signs became more stable over an hour he was moved into an ICU room. Both Dr. Jackson and Dr. Martin this time walked into the waiting room where it was apparent the team was exhausted.

"Bull family?" Dr. Martin said arousing the team.

"How is he doc?" Chunk asked.

Both doctors took a seat before telling how Jason really was.

"The good news for Jason is he has a fractured left arm. I had to go in and do an exploratory laparotomy to determine the site of the internal bleeding and repaired the damage. I did have to take out his spleen. The bad news is Jason did flatline on the operating table." Dr. Martin said.

"Of course you know we got him back. During the accident, Jason fell straight back after being hit by the SUV and hit the sidewalk on the way down resulting in hear trauma. That caused a subdural hematoma. I went in and drained the blood off of Jason's brain and his brain is continuing to swell. I am not sure when or if Jason will ever wake up. As of right now Jason is very critical." Dr. Jackson explained.

"Can we go back and see him? Now that we know he's not dead." Benny smirked.

"Yes but prepare yourself. Jason is on life support." Dr. Jackson said before leading the team to Jason's ICU room
