"No, wait don't leave me!"

"Shhh. Hitch I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

A small whimper escapes Hitch's mouth and Tully feels the renewed anger to hunt down and return the favor to the German who had shot his friend.

"Hitch, Hitch shhhh. The doc got the bullet out and you're okay. Everything is okay."

"I-I was alon-alone Tully."

A single tear slides out from underneath Hitch's shut lids.

"You don't know how bad the Sarges' feel about that Hitch. I feel like my gut is full of lead every time I remember you toppling over just 15 yards from me and there was nothing I could do. Dangit!"

Tully's normally quiet voice had risen sharply at the end showing just how useless he was feeling. Tully froze in surprise when a very pale and slightly sweaty hand came up collided gently into his shoulder in a supposed to be friendly punch.

"Not your fau-fault Tully. Don't blame your…self. Otherwise, you…'ll lose your image of the strong…and silen…t…ty…pe…"

Tully smiled and brushed his hand caringly over his friend's forehead, sweeping his unruly bangs over to the side. Sleep had claimed Hitch, probably for the rest of the night, but Tully wasn't going anywhere.
