Charlie ran over to Maggie, dropping to his knees next to her where Martin had seconds before let go of her. Blood was gushing from her abdomen, several stab wounds inflicted by the cool blade, causing the flow.

"Maggie…Maggie…oh my god…I'm so sorry!" Charlie cried, ripping off his jacket and pressing it over the wounds in an attempt to stop the bleed.

Maggie smiled up at him weakly, "Its…okay…Charlie….I…. I love you…" she gasped for breath, flinching at the pain searing through her torso.

"Sssshhh… I know…. I love you so much…" Charlie whispered to her, stroking her hair softly, placing his arm under her to make her more comfortable and taking her hand. He looked around, Selena was no where to be seen, but a few of the officers were edging closer to the door. "Hey! You, get an ambulance, NOW!" he cried out to them, watching as they ran off down the steps following his order. Turning back to Maggie he smiled in an attempt to reassure her, "Helps on its way sweetheart…. Stay with us…" He could see Maggie was slipping in and out of consciousness. "Please… Maggie…hold on.."

Maggie's world was spinning, her vision fuzzy, her hearing masked. Speaking weakly to Charlie'sblurred outline, "Charlie… I don't…want to…die…" her breathing had began to get shallower.

Charlie panicked inwardly, but smiled calmly at Maggie. "Shhh sweetheart, everything's going to be okay…" He pressed down again on his jacket, that had now turned a deadly shade of red, as had his jeans and most of his top. 'She's losing far to much blood… come on! Where's that ambulance!' he called out inside.

Maggie swallowed hard, her throat felt like she'd just eaten broken glass, "Charlie…. I don't think…..I…I can hold on….any longer…" her voice was weak and barely a whisper, mustering all her energy to speak, "I'm…sorry…." as Charlie listened, he felt Maggie's body become heavier in his arms. He looked at her. Her eyes faded, closing slowly, her chest slowly decreased in movement. Tears escaped Charlie's eyes as he felt Maggie's grip loosen in his hand.

"No….no…not yet…" Charlie spoke to himself into the cold air, "No…this cant be happening!" he cried out, holding Maggie still. He begun to cry, his tears slowly falling onto Maggie, now limp in his arms, in the darkened hall, in the middle of the night. In the middle of what felt like time itself.
