The rescue team arrived at the warehouse. "Is the distraction team ready?" Jason asked, looking at Zack.

Zack's claws were out. "Ready," Zack said.

"Now let's go," Nikki said. The group then burst into the warehouse.

"My time is up, I see," Agosto said.

"It's over Agosto, you're outnumbered," Nikki said, pointing her gun at him. "You're under arrest by the United States government."

"Or am I?" Agosto screamed. He grabbed a syringe and injected it into his arm. "Now I'm stronger than any government."

He fell to the ground. "He's on the ground," Nikki shouted. "Send in the rescue team."

The rescue team then went in and went to their friends. "Will, Raven," Taylen said, in an exhausted voice.

"Hey Tay," Will said. "Let's get you out of here."

The next few moments went by fast. Raven and Will had almost got Taylen out of the warehouse when Agosto got up. He now had horns and he grabbed his guns. He shot at the trio. Leroy jumped in front of the bullet.

"Leroy," Taylen yelped. She was about to run to him, but Raven stopped her. Taylen was too weak to fight against in her grip. She then lead her out.

"Leroy, why did you do it?" Izzie asked, kneeling by his side.

"I didn't want anyone to get hurt?" Leroy stated.

"You got hurt," Will said.

"It's better this way," Leroy said. He then passed out. Agosto quickly took out the distraction team. Zack used his claws to attack Agosto. Agosto fought back, but he was no match for Zack. Zack knocked him out as the police arrived.

The others waited at the hospital. The doctor walked to the friends. "Are you guys here for Izzie, Taylen, and Griffon?" he asked.

"Yes," Zack said. "How are they?"

"They will be fine," he stated. "You may visit them, but please be mindful of the fact that they need to rest."

Will then got up. "What about Leroy Booker?" Will asked. "He was brought here along with the others."

His face then turned somber. "By the time he got here, he had already passed," the doctor said. "There was too much food in his lungs-"

"He died a hero's death," Mrs. Flirr interrupted. Will then started sobbing.

"No," Will said. Finn then hugged Will. "He can't be gone."

"He'll never be truly gone," Zack said. "He lives on in you and Tae. Your his family. He'll forever live on in you two."

"That's what you're supposed to say when someone dies," Will snapped.

"But I mean it," Zack said. They then sat there quietly.

They arrived back at the boy's dorm. They informed everyone on what happened. Once they were finished, Will, Finn, Raven, Penelope, and Zack were sitting in the living room. Ryder then came into the building. "Look you finally showed up," Will said.

"Sorry I didn't come earlier," Ryder said. "I had to finish up my finals."

"I guess its ok," Will said. Ryder then sat down.

"Jason informed me on what happened," Ryder said. "I'm so sorry for your loss."

"Thank you," Will said. "I'm heading to bed. My parents and aunt want to go to the hospital early in the morning."

"Goodnight," Zack said. He walked upstairs and sat on the bed. He then started sobbing. A few minutes later, Ryder came in.

"Will," Ryder stated.

"Why wasn't it me?" Will sobbed. "I could have taken the bullet."

"Leroy wouldn't want you to talk like that," Ryder said.

"Why didn't I do enough to save him?" Will said. "Why wasn't I enough to save him? Why wasn't I enough for you? Why am I never enough?!"

"You've always been enough for me," Ryder said. He cupped his chin and looked him in the eyes. "You've always been enough for me. I'm sorry that I made you feel like you're not. The truth is I love you Will."

"You love me," Will said, suprised.

"I've always loved you," Ryder said.

"I love you to," Will said. Ryder smiled softly as he kissed Will.
