Melanie looked at her brother, unsure of what else to say. She wiped her eyes. She felt bad for all the time that had past with them not speaking. She didn't know if he could hear her wherever he was, but if he could, then he'd know that she was now divorced and at risk of losing her job. She really needed her brother to be okay. She didn't think she could handle him dying on top of everything.

"Okay, I'm going to go now," she said. "But I'll be back." She stood and went to the door when she heard the noise. Pausing and turning, she saw Myles's body move. Alarms starting going off, and she panicked. She yanked open the door.

"NURSE!" she screamed. Lucy and Tara leaped to their feet and made to come inside when a swarm of nurses cut them off. Melanie stood while they worked on her brother.

"What's happening?" she whimpered.

"I don't know," Lucy answered. She was just as frightened. Tara gripped her hand hard.

"Please wait in the hall," a nurse ordered, slamming the door shut. Melanie broke down into tears while Lucy felt her own throat close up and burn. Myles couldn't be dying. He just couldn't be.

...

Sue stopped the car and texted Jack again. She stayed inside, knowing better than to get out right now. If Will saw her, he'd probably shoot her out of anger that she disobeyed him. She wouldn't blame him. He had disappeared inside a commercial garage, and she felt worried. She parked the car two blocks down and in an alleyway, waiting for Jack to find her. She was thinking about seeing him again, and her heart rose. At least he was okay after Bruno had thrown him around. She had been worried he was seriously hurt. She was also worried about Levi. She missed her dog terribly, but she couldn't bear to think of what could have happened to him, if he even survived the explosion in the warehouse. She couldn't even begin to think about Myles and if he was even still alive. When a figure showed up beside her, she shrieked. The door was yanked open, and she was grabbed. She dropped the phone under the seat before it was noticed.

"What the hell is this?!" Joe demanded, pulling her out. "You're supposed to be dead!"

"Surprise," she said weakly.

"Enough is enough," Joe growled. "You're gonna be a part of the fireworks now." He marched her along, heading towards the garage. Sue hoped that Jack would realize what had happened and go there. She tried not to feel scared.

...

"That's the car," Bobby said as they stopped. Jack got out and rushed to it. No one was inside. He checked the backseat too and the trunk, just in case. Nothing.

"Where is she?" he asked, lost. "She said she'd wait in the car for us."

"Let's move to the garage," Bobby instructed, getting a bad feeling. They strode onward, feeling dread. As they approached the building, they saw D directing the back up and telling them where to go. Then, there was shouting from inside the building. A shot was fired. Then a bunch more.

"Come on!" Jack shouted, pulling out his gun and barreling forward. Bobby was on his heels. All of the back up was behind them. Jack desperately prayed that they weren't too late. He was terrified.

...

"I feel weird," Myles said, holding his chest. Emily looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know. I feel like something is happening."

They looked at each other, afraid suddenly. Emily gripped his hand.

"Am I dying?" Myles asked. He was really scared now. He wasn't ready. Then, a whistle sounded long and loud. They both whipped their heads to stare as a train pulled into the station.

"Is it for you or me?" Myles asked. Emily walked towards it, looking at it carefully.

"You," she answered, pointing at his name on the side. "But it doesn't say where it's going."

"Oh," he said, swallowing hard. She was trying not to cry, and he felt very scared that this was the end.

"It's all right," she said, clearing her throat. "You'll be all right either way. I mean, if it's your time, it's your time...right? Not much we can do about it."

"I know, but I don't want to just leave you here," he said, not moving towards the train.

"You gotta. If it's going back home, you have your friends and family. Lucy," Emily urged. "You gotta leave this place and go live your life. If it's death, then you have to take that plunge because from what I've heard, Heaven is amazing. Staying here won't solve anything."

"Has anyone ever told you how brave you are?" Myles asked. She choked out a laugh.

"My Dad did," she nodded. Her tears started to fall then.

"If I wake up back home, I'll find you," Myles swore. "I promise. I will not rest until I search the entire hospital."

"That's sweet, but what will you do if you do find me?"

"I'll stay with you until you wake up," Myles said adamantly. "I will make you wake up."

"Even if I did wake up," Emily whispered. "If my parents and brother are dead, I have nothing."

"You have me," Myles insisted. Emily stared at him with her wet eyes. The train whistled again rather impatiently.

"You have to go," she urged. He pulled her into a tight hug, feeling her tears soak into his shirt.

"Stay strong. I'm not abandoning you. If it's on Earth or in Heaven, I will see you again," he said, releasing her. She hugged herself tightly.

"Go, Myles," she said again. The train gave another whistle. Myles hurried towards it and hopped on. He stood in the car by the window and watched her wave as it started to move. He waved back, feeling himself losing control of his own tears. She looked so desolate standing there, and it made his resolve become even stronger to find her when he woke up. As the train went faster, he just knew that he was going to wake up.

...

Will couldn't believe his eyes when Sue was dragged in by Joe. She had disobeyed his orders, and now they were both dead. She flashed him an apologetic look. He could only hope that she had the FBI ready to crash in through the doors soon. Will had delivered the bomb in the truck, and Henry was admiring it. When he saw Joe, he frowned. Bruno cracked his knuckles disapprovingly.

"What's this?" Henry asked. "You said you had killed her."

"I guess she has a twin," Will said.

"Or you've betrayed us," Henry corrected, coming closer to him now. Will rarely felt fear, but there was something about Henry that terrified him. He guessed it was the way he was ruthless and let nothing stand in his way. That and he was probably about to die.

"We have to stay on schedule," Bruno interrupted.

"I have time for a clean up," Henry said. He pulled out his gun. Instead of aiming it at Will, he aimed it at Sue. Joe shoved her ahead, getting out of the way. Will didn't even hesitate. He threw himself at Sue just as Henry fired. Will landed on Sue, and they fell over together. The vest had prevented too much damage, but it had still hurt like hell. Will pulled out his gun and fired off some more shots, but Joe was already moving towards him.

"You're my brother!" he shrieked. He flung Will off and started beating on him. "You're supposed to be on OUR side!" Will fought back, feeling the ferocity of his brother's attack. Yes, he had betrayed his father and his brother, but he didn't believe in their cause like they did. That's why he'd agreed to help the CIA out. He hadn't told Sue that small detail and had made up the lie about his alleged fake background because he wanted her to trust him. If she knew he was related to Henry, she wouldn't have. The I.D. the CIA gave him had just been a bonus.

"I HATE YOU!" Joe screamed, spit flying as he sent punch after punch into Will's face. Meanwhile, Sue crawled for the gun that had gone spinning across the floor, but Bruno grabbed her legs and pulled her back. She screamed. Henry advanced on her, waiting until she saw him.

"No more meddling. It's over for you," he said, aiming. Sue squeezed her eyes shut, knowing it was the end. She waited, but nothing came. She was afraid to open her eyes, thinking that that was what Henry was waiting for before he killed her, and she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. Then, she felt hands grabbing at her. She opened her eyes, seeing Jack.

"Sue," he said, the relief all over his face and in his eyes. She threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly. She saw Bobby and D standing over Joe and Bruno, who were flat on the ground with their arms behind their heads getting handcuffed. Henry was lying motionless on the floor in a puddle of blood. She couldn't see Will.

"Where's Will?" she asked, frantic.

"Who?" Jack countered, looking at her now. She spun her head around.

"Will. He was CIA. He was taking down Henry. Where is he?"

Bobby knew who she was talking about. When they had burst in, he had spied two men fighting, and the one had shot the other before Bobby hauled him off and threw him on the floor. He hadn't realized the wounded man was a good guy. Jack caught his eye, and he knew from Bobby's face it wasn't good. Sue saw it too.

"No," she gasped, getting to her feet. She finally saw Will lying off to the side, not moving. There was a bleeding wound on his neck just by his shoulder.

"Will!" she shouted, falling to her knees beside him. "Will!" Jack went over to her and felt his heart break when she tried to find his vitals. Paramedics had arrived by this point, and they were coming towards them.

"I found it," Sue said. "A pulse. Jack, help me!"

"It's all right," Jack reassured her, gesturing to the medics. Sue got out of their way as they worked on Will. Jack put his arm around her while she buried her face into his shoulder. She couldn't bear to think that Will wouldn't make it after all this. Jack watched them hurriedly load up Will and drive away. He wondered if Sue had feelings for this guy by the way she had been so upset. He tried not to think about that right now.

"We have to get to the hospital," Sue said, noticing Will was gone. She tugged on Jack's hand.

"Yes, we do. You need to get checked," he commented. She didn't respond as they walked to his car. Bobby was staying with D while they disarmed the bomb. Sue really hoped that Will would be okay. She still couldn't believe he had taken a bullet for her.

...

"Ladies, you can come in now," the doctor said, opening the door. Lucy, Tara, and Melanie hurried inside. They saw Myles sitting up and drinking some water.

"Myles!" Lucy cried. She went over to hug him. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you."

"That's good to hear," Myles said hoarsely.

"I'm happy to see you too," Tara chimed in. Melanie stood off to the side.

"I heard you guys," Myles told them. "I knew you were here."

"Really?" Lucy asked, tearing up. She patted his arm affectionately, fussing over him a little.

"Hi, Mel," Myles said, looking at his sister. She gave a small wave.

"Hey," she replied. "So I guess that means you heard me too."

"I did," he nodded. "Let's talk later, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now Myles," the doctor said. "Your body has endured quite the ordeal. I strongly suggest you remain resting for a while before we talk about you going home, okay?"

"I hate to disappoint you, but I have to find her," Myles said.

"Myles, what are you doing?" Lucy asked as he struggled to get up. The doctor was frowning as well.

"I have to find her," he repeated.

"Find who?"

"Emily," he replied. Lucy, Tara, and Melanie all stared at him.

"You just woke up from a coma," Lucy said. "You shouldn't be going anywhere."

"I have to find her," he repeated again.

"Just slow down, mister," Lucy said, pushing him back down.

"But..." Myles started.

"I insist that you stay lying down," the doctor finally said. "Like I just said, you've been through a very big ordeal."

"I promised her," Myles tried again.

"That's enough," the doctor ordered. Myles shut his mouth then. He didn't want to be given drugs to calm down if they deemed him a problem. He'd wait until they went away before starting his mission to find Emily. He endured the poking and prodding from the doctor, answered questions, and promised to stay put. Finally, the doctor and nurses all left, leaving Lucy, Tara, and Melanie behind. After a little visit, Tara and Melanie went to get more coffee.

"Myles," Lucy said, taking his hand. "We were so scared..."

"You have to help me," he cut her off.

"With what?"

"I was with someone when I was in my coma. Her name is Emily. She suffered a car crash, but she's in this hospital. She's all alone. I have to find her."

"Myles, slow down," Lucy ordered. Her head was spinning. "What do you mean, she was with you?"

"It's Limbo, Luce," Myles explained impatiently. "She's in a coma too. We were there together until the train came to bring me back here."

"I don't even understand what you're saying to me right now," Lucy said, getting upset. Had he lost his mind?

"Forget it," Myles growled.

"You're scaring me, Myles," Lucy said.

"I'm fine, Lucy. I guess I'm just confused is all. Can you get me some more water?" he asked. She nodded, going out. He sighed roughly once she was gone. She was obviously going to be of no help to him. He'd have to wait for the right time to go look for Emily. He just hoped Emily hadn't given up on him yet.
