"Nice job Bear." Joe was kneeling next to the suspect that Barry had just caught.

"He put up a good fight." Barry remarked. "There was a second one though. He got away."

"i'm sure you'll find him." Joe responded.

The suspect was groaning in pain, holding his shoulder.

"i'm dying!"

"You are not dying. You'll be fine." Joe replied. He was in the process of putting the guy in cuffs when another voice joined the conversation. A police officer came jogging up.

"Good catch Detective West." He said smiling and Joe nodded his head in thanks. Joe glanced around for Barry and noticed he was no where in sight.

"Thanks Officer ?" Joe asked.

"Hanson." The officer supplied.

"Care to take him in?" Joe asked, taking his hands away now that the suspect was detained.

"I'll take him alright." Before he could react, the police officer had his gun out and had it pointed at Joe. "After i take you out."

"Whoa calm down Hanson." Joe put his hands in the air.

"Hanson is my stupid brother-in-law. Took his uniform yesterday after knocking him out, put it in my car. Figured my stupid brother over here might get into trouble and i'd need this." The man replied.

"What do you want?" Joe asked.

"My little bro to go free and have all charges dropped against him."

"i can't do that. He was involved in a homicide earlier. I can't just let him go." Joe tried to respond.

"Well then i'll shoot you." The guy replied.

"That wouldn't help your brother and then you'd both be in trouble. We can do this the right way." Joe said.

"The right way?! You cops don't care about people like us! You'll just throw him in jail without a trial and that'll be it."

"Even if he is guilty, he still gets a trial. I know he wasn't the only one involved, he can give some names and get a reduced sentence."

"Not good enough. Goodbye detective." The gun came up further, pointed at Joe's head and he sighed as the suspect pulled the trigger. Before the bullet could hit him, there was a red flash in front of Joe and he was carried away from the bullet trajectory. Upon being able to see again, Joe noticed the fake-officer running in the other direction, leaving his brother handcuffed and lying on the ground. Joe turned around to see Barry also lying on the ground. Joe instantly knew that the last shot he had heard had hit Barry.

"Barry!"

"I think i got shot?" Barry was confused. He had heard the shot as he had raced to get to Joe, and then he was lying on the ground with sudden warmth beneath his left side.

"Yes you did. I need to get you to Star Labs. Can you stand up?" Joe asked. Barry nodded and went to stand up. As he did, there was a sudden flare of pain in his side and Barry groaned and doubled over. The only thing keeping him up on his feet was Joe's firm grip on his arm.

"Bear, i know you're hurt but I really need to get you to the car before more people get here."

Barry nodded and grit his teeth, standing up as straight as he could. The more he moved, the more the pain in his side increased, and made it that much harder to walk. He and Joe managed their way slowly to the car and Barry lay down in the back. Joe handed Barry a spare t-shirt from the car and Barry looked questiongly at Joe who motioned down with his eyes, before slamming the door and going round to the drivers side.

"Whoa, i'm bleeding." Barry remarked faintly as he looked down at his jeans and saw them covered in red.

"That usually happens when you get shot Barry." Joe replied, looking in the windshield mirror as he drove towards Star Labs. There was silence and Joe realized Barry's eyes were closed.

"Barry, you had better not pass out. Hold that t-shirt tightly. Caitlin will not be happy if i bring you to Star Labs unconscious, again." There was more silence to Joe's statement as Barry gave no indication that he had heard what Joe said.

"Barry!"

"I'm awake." The response was faint, and Joe was filled with concern as he continued driving to Star Labs. He knew the shot wasn't fatal, but the sooner Barry got a blood transfusion, the better.

"So much for being faster than a bullet." Cisco commented.

"Not helping." Caitlin snapped. "What happened?" She asked Barry, her tone softer. Caitlin, Wells and Cisco had been sitting in the computers when Joe and Barry had come in. Both covered in blood and one leaning on the other with a very pale face. Cisco had rushed over to help and they had managed to get Barry onto one of the beds.

"There was a fake police officer who tried to kill me. Barry prevented that." Joe answered. Barry was lying on the bed with the blood still staining anything; at this point being the sheets on the bed. His eyes were half-open and he didn't seem to be paying much attention to the conversation above him. His lack of awareness was evidenced when Caitlin prodded his side and he didn't even respond.

"I'll get a blood transfusion started. Cisco, check the computer and see if there was any damage done inside him." Caitlin stopped prodding Barry's side and walked out of the room. Cisco headed over to the computers and staring at them for a moment, he shook his head.

"What?" Joe asked.

"It looks like Barry was lucky- again. It was a through and through so Caitlin doesn't have to operate on him for that, and it looks like it missed all the major organs as well. Caitlin might operate still in order to clear the bleeding in there or she might just let it heal."

"I'll let his insides heal by itself." Caitlin said in response to Cisco's question as she walked back into the room, her arms full of blood packs. As the others watched, she headed over to Barry and quickly stuck an IV in his hand which she then attached to one of the bags.

"However, i should stitch up the skin on the outside. It should heal itself but he's already lost enough blood, and i only have so much to replenish with." Caitlin replied. "Barry, are you with us?"

"Mmmmmm." Barry mumbled. His eyes opened but were not entirely focused.

"Barry, i have to stitch up your side but I can't give you anything for it, okay?" Caitlin asked.

"Mmmmm." Barry mumbled again.

"i'm not sure that was really a response." Cisco remarked.

"Well, its as good as we are going to get." Caitlin replied as she set up to stitch Barry up.

"Joe, you might want to leave. Stitches can be a little rough sometimes." Wells suggested as Caitlin sat on a stool next to Barry and snapped some gloves on.

"i'm staying." Joe said.

"Okay." Caitlin reached over and pulled Barry's shirt up, in order to get at the hole.

"First i need to clean it out and this will probably hurt him." Caitlin grabbed a syringe full of water and aiming it at the hole in Barry's side, she squirted the water. Barry flinched so violently he almost fell off the bed.

"Cisco, come hold his shoulders up. I have to get at the back." Cisco nodded at Caitlin's request and together they pulled Barry off the bed and Cisco held his shoulders to keep him up. Barry squirmed a little and Cisco tightened his grip. "Sorry dude."

Caitlin grabbed another syringe of water and squirted this one in the hole in Barry's back. Barry screamed and flinched in Cisco's grip. A few seconds later, he went limp and Cisco made sure he didn't fall back.

"He passed out."

"Good, I was hoping he would. I don't think he'll be want to be awake when i'm sewing his skin back together." Caitlin said.

Caitlin spoke too soon as Barry came to, halfway through her stitching up the exit wound. Before anyone could react, he had jumped and startled Caitlin who accidentally widened the hole again, causing blood to come out.

"Barry! Calm down." Joe said quickly, putting his hand on Barry's back.

"What's happening?" Barry was confused but alert again, thanks to the blood transfusion.

"Caitlin is sewing you up. Of course you made it more difficult." Joe replied.

"Barry, i need to keep stitching you up. it's going to hurt but then you can rest." Caitlin said.

"Do it." Barry replies. He grit his teeth as he felt the needle go into his skin and his face paled considerably. His eyes, however, remained open.

"Just look at me Barry." Joe said and Barry's eyes moved up to look at Joe's face. "She's almost done." Barry nodded and tried not to tense up. Within a few minutes Caitlin was done and put away the needle while grabbing white bandage. She wrapped it around Barry's side tightly and quickly, causing him to groan.

"Sorry." She said. "You need to keep that on until tomorrow and no moving around tonight. Your insides are still healing themselves and moving will not help that." Caitlin said sternly and Barry nodded.

"What happened to the suspect?" Barry asked.

"I called Eddie and he's handling everything. Including explaining where all the blood is from." Joe replied.

"Did anyone find the second guy?" Barry asked.

"No but Singh has a lot of people looking for him. Sometimes it pays to be friends with the captain." Joe laughed lightly as be looked at Barry. "Bear, thanks."

Barry nodded as he knew what Joe was thanking him for. "I should keep track of just how many times I save you."

"Don't do it with a bullet again though. Caitlin had to give you a large amount of blood since you'd lost so much." Joe replied.

"Were we in your patrol car at some point or did I dream that?" Barry asked.

"We came to Star Labs in my car." Joe responded and Barry nodded.

"I vaguely remember that." Barry said.

"You were losing quite a lot of blood at that time." Joe replied.

"Oh your car! i'll clean it out." Barry said suddenly, making a move like he was going to get out of bed.

"No moving!" Joe said, and Barry stopped moving giving Joe a look.

"Don't look like that! You lost a lot of blood and you did get shot. I know you heal fast but you still need to take it easy tonight." Joe said. "I have to go but Barry, don't give Caitlin a hard time about the bedrest. She saved you again tonight." Barry nodded and Joe headed out the door.
