Thanks to Blueeyedauthor and Miami Scene for the comments. Here is the next installment. I know its heavy but important. Please don't hate me. Thanks again.

Kane awoke with a start. Her head was pounding as if she had been drinking for two days straight. Though her head was killing her she had to focus. She was sitting in a large SUV in between two men she had seen earlier. Ahead of her was two more men. The driver was unknown but the passenger was Hobbs. Aside from what was ahead of her, she could see little else. Her vision was limited to inside the vehicle and the brick walls that were visible out of the windows. Then panic hit her hard. Her brother was not there.

"Where's my brother?" She said groggily, still feeling the drugs in her system.

"Ah you're awake. Good, your friends will be here soon." Hobbs cocky voice responded.

Kane repeated her question. "Where is Caleb?"

"He's alive. I'm just making sure Flack keeps up his end of the deal." He paused a moment as his head turned to hear. Another car was approaching. "Speak of the devil. Watch her." Hobbs and the man on her left got out of the vehicle. Kane got a whiff of the air as they opened the doors. They were at the docks. The small amount of light that crept in revealed it was late dusk. But none of that mattered. Where was her brother?

Minutes passed before Kane was finally pulled from the SUV. The goon holding her twisted her arm behind her back in case she decided to run. Up ahead was one man, Don, and standing behind him was Caleb. A silent thank you was said. This terrible day was almost over. Or at least that was her hope. Sadly, her hopes were soon dashed.

"Let my brother go and your detective here goes free." Hobbs ordered. Don unhand cuffed the man beside him. Hobbs' little brother began to walk towards them. Hobbs nodded to the man holding Kane. Her arm was dropped. She was allowed to go. That was when everything changed.

A shiny glint sparkled off the top of the building beside them. As soon as Kane saw it, the scene turned into something like from an action movie. Everything slowed down. Kane turned her head to see Hobbs look at the same place she did. There was no way he missed the glimmer off of the metal of a gun.

"It's a set up. Scatter." He yelled. People began running all over the place. But none of that seemed to matter. All Kane could concentrate on was the barrel of the gun pointed at her. In a split second, she decided to get her gun. In that same second, Kane heard the shot of a gun. Her heart stopped as she waited for the pain to begin. But there was none. Kane's head shot up to see Hobbs had taken off running. Before her lay Caleb. Blood seeping from a wound meant for her.

"Call an ambulance." She screamed. "Come on Caleb." Kane searched her brother's body for the wound, but his clothes and the amount of blood made it difficult. His eyes were closed, but he was still breathing. Though his breathes were shallow. "Hold on. Please."

Don was at her side in seconds. "No." Was all he could say.

"Go get Hobbs, please. He can't get away." Don reluctantly did as he was told.

Seconds passed but they felt like hours to Kane as she waited for the ambulance. It came less than a minute after it was called which was a relief to Kane. The EMT's jumped into action as they looked over Caleb and prepared him to get into the ambulance.

"There's still room," the EMT said once Caleb was in safely. It didn't matter. Kane was going with them whether there was room or not. Her hand kept a tight grip on her little brothers'.

The ambulance ride to the hospital seemed to take an eternity. Every second that passed meant more blood her brother lost. As Kane watched Caleb fight for his survival it had yet to hit her. The images all seemed so surreal. As if it was a dream. That dream finally came to an end when they entered the hospital. Her brother was rushed to the operating room, leaving Kane to stare at the doors now separating them. A nurse soon came to her side.

"Are you okay? Do you need help?" She was referring to the blood covering most of her body.

"No. I'm fine. It's my brother's."

The nurse smiled sympathetically. "I'll get you some scrubs." She said then she was gone.

Kane barely made it to the bathroom before the vomit came. Realizing Caleb's blood was on her made everything real. The thought of her brother dying because of her made her sick. The next several minutes Kane spent doubled over the toilet, followed by washing up over the sink. The nurse soon came in with clean scrubs and a plastic bag and to ask if she needed help.

"I'm fine." Kane said as she turned off the sink after washing her hands. "Thank you." She changed into the scrubs then sealed her clothes in the bag. They would be needed for evidence.

"There is someone waiting outside for you ma'am."

"Thank you. I'll be out in a moment." The nurse gave Kane some privacy as she splashed more cold water in her face. The brown paper towel scratched her face, though it didn't hurt a few tears seeped out. She was sure they wouldn't be the last she cried that day.

Stella stood in the private waiting room. "Oh Kane. I am so sorry." She said as she pulled Kane into a hug.

"Thanks Stella." they let go of each other. "What are you doing here though?"

"I came as soon as I heard. I figured you wouldn't want to be alone. Do you know anything yet?"

"No. I'm scared to ask." Kane began to pace the room for several minutes. So many things started running through her head. Stella's calm voice finally broke the trance.

"Why don't you try talking to me. Maybe I can help you."

"There's just so much. I need to get to a phone."

"Hold up. Tell me who. I'll do what I can because we've been trying to help out all day."

Kane began working very hard at asking one question at a time instead of rambling. "Where's Carly and Dylan?"

"Carly's with Lindsay. They'll be here soon. Mac's got Dylan. They were at the precinct writing statements and going through the photos of the gang members. They're on their way."

"I need to call my parents."

"Already taken care of. We called as soon as we knew what was going on. Their plane will be landing soon. Danny and Hawkes are picking them up." As she spoke, Stella's phone began to ring. She was receiving a text. "Oh it's Adam. He's at your apartment. What kind of clothes do you want?"

"What?" Kane heard the words just fine but for some reason they didn't make sense in her head.

"Adam's getting you and your brother's some fresh clothes. Do you want anything in particular?"

"No anything's fine." Stella responded to the text while Kane processed the situation. She started to laugh a little.

"What's up?" Stella asked, puzzled by Kane's new behavior.

"Sorry am I missing something. I mean I know I've been out of it most of the day but I'm sure you all have other things to do."

"We're family, and we are going to help however we can. You would do the same for us."

"I know but still."

"Your not getting rid of us."

"Thank you Stella. For everything.

"No problem kid. Now why don't you try and relax I'll go see if I can get a hold of a nurse or doctor."

"Do you mind if I borrow you cell phone. I want to call Don. See what happened after I left."

"Here you go." Stella handed her friend the phone then went in search of someone to help.
