Fade in.
(Mac's POV)
They had Harm positioned in a way so that he wouldn't injure his back more then it already was. He had hurt his back pretty bad, but the doctors expected him to make a full recovery. He had a concussion, three broken ribs, and on top of all that, he was still unconscious. Everyone from the office has stopped by to see him, and the Admiral was nice enough to let me personally guard Harm until they could figure out who did this to him.
After they moved him to Bethesda, they stationed marines all around the hospital, the security was tight, but I still wouldn't let down my guard. I put my hand in his, and silently wished that he would open his eyes.
"Open you eyes flyboy, we need you. I need you," I whisper.
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
I knew he was going to be okay, hell the doctors told me enough times. But I was still just so afraid I was going to lose him. There were just so many times where I almost lost him; when he crashed in the ocean, when he stepped on that mine; I knew time was running out, that it was now or never. I just had to tell him before it was too late.
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
Fade out.
(Webb's POV)
I watch Meg as she sleeps. She hasn't said a word since she was shot; I didn't have to ask, because I knew there were just so many emotions just churning up inside of her. I squeezed her hand tighter, God it was killing me to watch her suffer like this. But didn't she know? I am hurting just as much as she is.
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
Against the wishes of the agency, I took a few days from work. I knew they sympathized with my situation, but the fact was, we still had a killer out there, and now four or maybe even more people in this. I knew they had extra security on Rabb, and maybe that was for the best, but if I knew these guys, they would have skipped town by now.
"You don't, have to stay here you know," she whispered opening her eyes, but never looking at me.
I tried to steady my voice before I spoke, but it was no use. "Meg there is no place I would want to be."
"Please Clay, just don't," she said her voice breaking. She wiped a few stay tears from her eyes, and turned away from me.
God, I prayed, what would I have to do to get through to her?
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
(Meg's POV)
I don't know what I could say to get through to him; I just wanted to be left alone for awhile. I couldn't even describe the emptiness and guilt I felt inside. This baby, my baby died because I accepted this stupid mission. But then again, if I didn't except this mission I would have met Clay. And if I had never met Clay, then I would have never have gotten pregnant, and wouldn't even be in this situation in the first place. So I guess it's like the old saying goes, the coin always has two sides.
He is standing by the window now, watching the daily chaos of the hospital, and I can feel the guilt that is coursing through is body. I know he is hurting just as bad as I am, but I guess we are just too stubborn and scared to even talk about it. I squeeze my eyes shut and just pray to God that all of this is just a bad dream.
