She was so cold. The weight on her chest was making it hard to breath. She wanted to open her eyes but she was afraid. Afraid of what had happened around her. Afraid for Doyle, Sully, and Ty. The sirens peirced though the fog that she was trying to get though. She heard shouting and felt the weight lift off her chest. She gaspt trying to fill her luhgs.

"Seajae calm down. Helps on its way." Sully held his hand agaist the wound in her chest.

"Doyle?" She wispered. Sully looked up to see the younger mad stagger to his knees.

"Relax the kids fine." Ty helped Doyle to his feet. His head cleared and he saw Seajae on the ground, blood seeping though where Sully was pressing agaist her chest.

"Damit Boscorelli, your vest." Doyle ripped of his flannel shirt and pushed Sully out of the way and held his shirt to the bullet hole in her chest. "Where the hell is your head."

"Aparently up my ass." She smiled at Doyle. "You did good kid."

"I guess you think having your husband kill me for letting you get shot is a good thing." The sirens greew louder. "You can't die on me. I still have a lot to learn from team Boscorelli."

"This bodies been though to much Doyle."

"Seajae...." Sully took her hand. "Now's not the time." The bus pulled up and Kim and Doc got out.

"Oh great no rest for the wicked." Seajae looked up and saw Kim. Tears in her eyes.

"Way to reck a quiet night Boscorelli. Joey step back." Kim moved the young officer over and looked at the wound. "Guess what?"

"What?" Seajae coughed.

"Missed an artery by inches. But no exit wound. Your not dying on my watch Seajae." Doc smiled. Kim grabbed something from her case and cut Seajae's shirt away.

"Well I guess I can go home then huh."

"Sorry, rules say I gotta take you in. I think you need that bullet out of you so you don't set the metal detectors off at the air port."

"Make sure Doyles okay. I think I scared the piss out of him."

"Your bleeding out he isn't so you get first dibs." Doc took her vitals and called them into the ER. Putting Seajae on the gurney she looked at Doyle's pale face and reached for his hand.

"Come on kid. You need to get your head looked at?"

"Yeah, I should of known better then to pick up the phone when you call."

"I ment the bump smart ass." He smiled and got into the ambulance with her.

"Seajae you loosing a lot of blood here. I need you to relax and we'll be at Mercy in no time."

"I'm not a child Kim." She let the woman put an oxygen mask on her.

"Then stop acting like one. Take deep breaths." Kim handed Doyle the phone. "Call Bosco and tell him to meet us at the hospital."

"NO!" Seajae pulled the mask of. "Don't do it Doyle. He doesn't need to worry about nothing."

"Doyle do it." Kim applied more pressure to the wound. She looked at the young officers face and knew he was torn. "Bosco would want to be there." The tone in her voice and the look in her eyes gave it all away. Seajae wasn't fine. There was something Kim wasn't telling them and Doc knew it too because he excelarated a little more and laid on the horn.

***********************************************************************

"Yeah." Bosco picked up the phone and tenced knowing it was all bad.

"You need to come to Mercy."

"Seajae? Oh God. Yeah I'm on my way. Doyle?"

"Yeah she's alive. Just don't kill yourself getting here." The front door opened and Faith and Caleb came in.

"Sully just called. Get your coat, I'll drive you." Caleb stayed with the kids as Bosco and Faith headed for the hospital.

"I guess this is the shit that happens all the time huh?"

"It's been awhile but yeah." Faith was silent for a minute and then she looked at her friend. "She's strong and she fights hard. She'll be okay."

"I can't live without her Faith. She's my everything." He leaned his head back. "I still don't remember but I do know that."

"It'll be okay."

"I hope so."

*************************************************************************

"She's lost alot of blood." Kim and dock pulled the gurney out of the bus. "Where the hell is all of it coming from. The artery is inches away." The Doctor came and took over. Kim, Doc, and Doyle watched as they worked on their friend.

"She wasn't waring her god damn vest." Doyle walked away kicking the chair. "Bosco is going to have my hide. He wanted me there to protect her."

"Joey, calm down." Kim put her hand on his shoulder. "You were there and you did everythig right."

"Why wasn't she wearing her vest Kim?"

"I don't know. It's not like her to forget but there's nothing we can do about it now."

"Her and Bosco believed in me when no one else did and let them both down."

"Seajae is her own worst enemy Joey. She walked out her front door with every intention of coming back alive with or without her vest. It was her choice to walk out without it and so it makes it her choice to die tonight." Tears were running down Kim's cheeks. Bosco and Faith came in the waiting room. Bosco looked at Doyle and then at Kim's tear stained face.

"Is she?"

"No Bosco she's not. They couldn't stop the bleeding. They brought her up to surgery."

"What the hell happened out there?"

"We were having coffee and Seajae was talking to you on the phone when this guy went down the street carring a gun. We went out to follow him and a spray of bullets came from....somewhere."

"Doyle knocked Seajae to the ground. She suffuered a gun shot wound to the upper left chest. I tried to stop the bleeding in the bus but I couldn't get it to stop. Bosco I'm sorry I did everything I could." Bosco took her in his arms.

" I know Kim. I know you did your best." Bosco looked at Doyle. "It's okay Joey." He patted the younger man on the shoulder. He knew his friends were dealing with this harder then any one person should. Seajae wasn't going to die today. He needed her to much. The people around him might of given up but he would never give up on her like she never gave up on him.
