Trigger warning, a bit graphic, so read on your accord
Hondo, Luca, and Deacon are knocked to the ground. The world blacking out. When Deacon opens his eyes, his ear create a terrible ringing sensation. Deacon stands, that's when he feels a hand on his shoulder, he turns and sees Hondo
"Hondo?" Deacon asks, but he can't hear the response. He looks around to see guys and blood covering the closet, his eyes widen as panic set in "Hondo!"
"Deacon" Hondo says back, shaking the man's shoulder. The ringing isn't stopping in his ears, blocking Deacon from being able to hear. Then the vertigo hits him. He starts to fall when Hondo steadies him "you ok?"
"Hondo? Deacon?" Luca asks coming toward them. Already out of the closet, he races in. Only to freeze, looking around "Chris?"
"I don't know" Hondo says "Deacon? Deacon! Answer me, man"
"I'm alright" he answers, the ringing subsiding "is that?"
"What's left of Owen" Hondo replies trying to keep calm for both himself and Deacon "we need to find Chris"
"The whole is room is destroyed" Luca says, standing up, in shock
"20-David?" Hicks says on the coms "talk to me"
"Suspect is dead" Hondo answers, eyeing an arm that belonged to Owen "we don't know about Chris"
"Hondo?" A voice calls from underneath a pile of rumble that came from the ceiling "Hondo? Deacon?! Luca!"
"Chris!" Luca shouts running over and pulling rumble away to get to Chris. The three men working quickly and carefully to help Chris get free
"Luca" she gasps, Chris tries to stand but is stopped when she looks at her hand. Her right hand is gone, all that's left is a shattered bone and blood. The bone is ridged with the end of it creating sharp spikes. Blood is pouring down her forearm.
The three look at her, waiting for her reaction, but instead she remains silent. Luca and Deacon slowly lift her up and since she can walk a bit, they take her outside, place her on the grass and lean her against a SWAT car
"It's ok, it's all going to be ok" Hondo says to her
"No it won't" she answers looking at her arm "don't lie to me"
"Just hang on" Hondo instructs "20-David, we need an RA, code 3 Officer is down"
"Roger that Hondo" Hicks answers
"Chris!" Street and Tan say as the two race to the guys' side "what happened?"
"A bomb went off, Chris attacked the guy. The bomb killed him" Deacon answers
"Hondo? She'll be ok right?" Street asks, just by looking Chris over, things didn't look good. She was covered in both dust and blood, making her appear almost grey. Hondo examines Chris' head and sees a huge dent in her skull. He traces the cut with his fingers until he feels a squishy piece of tissue. The touch makes Chris wince, when Hondo removes his hand, her eyes open. Knowing that it was her brain that he touched, Hondo sighs, looking at Street with sad eyes
"Hondo?" Chris asks
"Yes?" Hondo answers immediately
"I'm dying, aren't I?"
"Chris-" he starts
"We all know it" she looks at each of them, smiling despite the pain "the bomb that killed him, is gonna kill me"
"Please-" Street begs
"Hondo? You'll tell them I love them, right?" She asks "don't make it past tense, please"
"Of course, I'll make sure of it" Hondo says, Chris winces, feeling her heart stop for just a second.
"Hey it's ok" Street says, swallow back tears
"Street" she whispers "I love you, I wish I said it sooner" Chris winces and becomes dizzy as her heart stops again. Chris tries to sit up and ends up putting weight on her shattered hand, out of habit, causing her to scream.
"Chris?" Hondo asks helping her to sit up "where does it hurt?"
"Where does it not?" She asks with a small smile "everything hurts so much" her eyes flutter, trying to stay awake
"Chris" Luca sighs "what can we do, to make it go away"
"Luca" she says, as if trying to remember the names of the people in front of her. Chris squeezes his hand "just don't leave me. You won't leave, right?"
"Of course not, we aren't going anywhere until the end" Tan says to her, taking her stump. The arm is now blue despite the pain Chris can still feel. The bone reflects the afternoon sun, making the graphic scene become almost obscured. Her head is bleeding heavily and the team can clearly see their friend's brain. Both injuries are oozing out a sort of puss "we are going to miss you"
"I will too Tan" she replies, her eyes start to close but she pushes through it, Chris looks at them all again stopping on Deacon "Deacon"
"Chris, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he says tears in his eyes
"I... I forgive... you" she says looking at him. Before her heart stops again causing her to gasp for air. For a second she chokes, fighting for air. Then she closes her eyes, still breathing, but barley hanging on.
"Chris?" Tan asks "can you hear us? Know that we all love you" Chris smiles slightly, accepting her fate, she exhales. Her body relaxes causing her body to slump over.
Deacon and Luca lay her flat on the ground as Hondo begins both CPR and mouth to mouth. After a minute or so, the RA and an EMT join the scene. The EMT takes over CPR and the team watches him. All of them praying for a miracle. The EMT attempts to shock Chris' heart a couple of times before calling it
"I'm sorry, I've tried everything I can, it's been nine minutes. She is gone" he says "whoever is the highest ranked here, call it in"
"No!" Street says, pushing past the guy and starting CPR again
"Street" Hondo says, trying to keep his voice steady "she's not coming back"
"She can!" He answers "she can"
"Street" Tan says as he grabbing his friend "please! It's over, she's gone. Chris is gone" the team looks at their friend's corpse, tears flowing freely from their eyes.
"Hondo" Deacon nudges "you know you have to declare it"
"I know" he answers, taking a deep sigh "once I say it, this will all be true"
"Truth is something that hurts, but needs to happen" Luca adds, trying to contain his emotions
"This is Sargent Harrleson" Hondo says into the coms clearly. His voices filled with sorrow "we have lost 24-David, I repeat, we lost Chris Alonso"
