Again I do not own GH or any of the characters.

Chapter 9

Lucky stood in the Zacchara warehouse several police officers and the crime scene unit diligently working in the background. There were several a few bodies scattered on the floor. Lucky was reporting to Mac on the phone.

"Yes, I recognize these guys. They are definitely Sonny's guys. There's no sign of Johnny Zacchara or Sonny." He ran his hand through his newly cut hair. "How's Elizabeth and Cam? Are they alright?"

Cut to Mac in the park

"Yes, Elizabeth followed the ambulance to GH with Robin. Matt has a chest wound. Lulu took Cam and Emma over to Audrey's house." Mac told Lucky. "I need your best work on this, Lucky. I want to end the mob in this town once and for all. You get interviews from anyone and everyone on that dock. Dante is checking out the woods east of the pond and Padilla is looking into the whereabouts of the key players."

Zacchara warehouse

"Yes, sir. I want to get these guys as badly as you do. My son was in the park."

Park

"Just make sure you log everything in and get as much evidence as you can." I am heading to the hospital when I finish here I suggest you do the same. Elizabeth is going to need a friend tonight. Dr. Hunter didn't look good when they took him out of here."

Mac hung up the phone and looked over as Dante came out of the woods. "Well?"

"We need to get a crime scene unit out there about fifty yards in." Dante looked Mac directly in the eyes. "Anthony Zacchara is dead"

Hospital

The doors to the ER flew open as the paramedics wheeled in Matt with Patrick right beside them.

"Take him into Trauma room one" Patrick ordered. The paramedics followed orders immediately. "Nurse Johnson, get OR one prepped stat, and tell Dr. Quartermaine to be prepped and ready to assist."

"Yes sir, ." Epiphany hurried to follow Patrick's orders. She was the one at the desk when the call came in. Dr. Hunter had secretly always been a favorite of hers. The OR was getting busy. She picked up the phone to do what Patrick said.

Elizabeth and Robin came running in. Robin immediately went to the desk to check on the status of the OR and Elizabeth was left to stand near the curtains of the Trauma room. Steve flew into the room and hurried to his sister's side. "Elizabeth, my god, are you ok?"

"Steve!" Elizabeth threw her arms around her brother. "He saved him, Steve. Matt saved Cam the bullet would have hit Cam if Matt hadn't grabbed him and pulled him out of the way. And now he's lying in there and I can't do anything! I feel useless and I…" Tears were pouring down Elizabeth's cheeks as Steve held her close.

"It'll be okay. Patrick's the best. Matt couldn't be in better hands." He ran his hands comfortingly up and down Elizabeth's back.

Patrick's voice could be heard shouting orders behind the curtain. A nurse flew in the room and left the curtain slightly ajar. Elizabeth moved closer to the curtain as Steve tried to hold her back. Machines beeped crazily and there was too much blood staining the linens around Matt. Fear filled Elizabeth's heart until she heard the one noise that she feared the most.

"Dr. Drake, he's asystolic." The steady beep sounded out to the corridor ripping a hole through Elizabeth. She collapsed and Steve's arms went around her to catch her as she cried out.
