A/N- This is a really short final chapter to this fic, it may not end particularly well, but I just wanted to see this finished. So this is it. R&R, it's a writers only payment. Lol that's quite funny, me as a writer.

CHAPTER 11.

"Finally."

"Finally what?"

He responded. Laughing at his friends excitement.

"FINALLY," Greg replied, putting emphasis on the word, "I get out of this place."

He said this as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He practically jumped out of the bed and stood up, but this movement aggravated his injury and he bent over and his face contorted in pain.

Nick stopped laughing and was at Greg's side in an instant, ready to offer support.

"Hey man, you OK?"

"Yeah. Yeah I guess I just overdid it that's all." He said, grinning slightly. "Really, I'm fine."

Nick was unconvinced, but decided to let it slip. This time.

"You want me to wait outside while you change?"

"Umm..yeah. See you in a minute."

After waiting for Nick to leave, Greg slowly peeled back the hospital gown and changed. Before he put his shirt on he looked down and fingered the bandage around his waist. The bullet had gone straight through him, hitting his liver but nothing else vital. Thankfully. He still shuddered when he thought about it. Shaking himself, he pulled the T-shirt over his head and left to find Nick.

"Ready?"

"You bet. Let's go already."

ick led Greg out into his car and they drove off. Greg had become uncharacteristically quiet in the passenger seat. He wanted to say something yet couldn't seem to find the right words to say it. Finally he gave up.

"Nick?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"For coming to get me and for not getting mad."

"Why would I be mad?"

Nick stared incredulously. He couldn't work out what Greg was trying to say.

"Because I got you dragged into all of this, and got you shot."

The car pulled into the driveway of Greg's apartment. Nick turned to face him.

"Sanders, this is not your fault. You understand that don't you?"

"But…"

"No buts. I don't blame you, nobody does. So stop worrying about it, OK?"

This seemed to put Greg at ease and he smiled. 

"Yeah. I will."

He got out and headed inside.

"But thanks anyway."

A/N- So I know the ending sucked. But I only really wanted to see this finished not change it much. So I rounded off the cliffhanger and ended it. But R&R anyway, it's still nice to here it.

Sparky- Yeah you finished, but a distinct lack of angst there I think/

Krazy- But YOU would think that.

Sparky- I know *grins*
