"Don I'm sorry" Charlie said looking at his older brother as the captor whispered in his ear.
"For what buddy?" Don said before hearing a gun shot.
Don eyes widened when he saw Charlie fall to the ground. Don stood there frozen like a statue as Colby ran to his boyfriend's side.
"Charlie oh my god baby." Colby said as he held Charlie in his arms.
"H h hospital" Charlie said through gasping breaths.
"Don we have to get him to a hospital now." Colby yelled bringing Don back to reality.
"We need some help in here guys, Charlie's been hit." Don yelled on the radio.
"They're coming in now." Nikki replied.
"Everything is going to be okay." Don said looking his younger brother.
Don watched as Colby held his brother in his arms waiting on medics to come in. The one thing he never wanted to happen was for his brother to get hurt, and he will never forgive himself. Don hears the footsteps rushing behind him and moves out the way.
"Hurry up he losing blood." Colby yelled to the medic.
"Excuse me sir can you please step back so I can do my job?" the medic asked Colby.
"He's gonna be okay Colby." Don told Colby trying to reassure him.
"It's my fault Don it's my fault that he's being carried to an ambulance truck right now." Colby said trying to hold back tears.
While they ran back to the SUV Colby snatched the keys out of Don's hand and jumped in the drivers seat earning a look from both Don and David. Don watched as Colby drove behind the ambulance eyes widened he thought they were gonna pop out of his head. David was sitting in the back and watched as his best friend was breaking on the inside. He occasionally rubbed his hand across his face as his other hand shook while holding the steering wheel.
Colby couldn't help what he was feeling. You're supposed to be terrified when somebody that you love is hurt and you can't do anything to make it better. He would give anything to be in Charlie's spot right now. He kept trying to press the peddle down harder so the SUV could go faster, but if he would've pressed it any harder he could've put a hole in the floor. Don watched as the odometer kept getting higher and higher.
"Colby I know what you're going through right now but any faster and we wont make it there." Don said hoping to lighten up the mood.
"Don I think you should give your dad a call." David suggested to Don.
"I'll call him once we get to the hospital." Don responded.
Don felt the SUV come to a sudden stop as his head jerked forward. He couldn't get out of the car fast enough before he saw Colby running right behind the medics pushing Charlie in holding up a bag of IV fluid. Don and David ran through the sliding doors and ran into the E.R.. They stopped for a second when they saw Colby standing looking through a window, which meant they wouldn't let him go in.
"How you holding up?" David asked as he walked up behind his best friend.
"Not now man." Colby said under his breath.
"Okay" David said understanding.
Don saw that there was nothing more he can do right now but just wait. He knew that sooner or later he would have to make that phone call so he pulled his phone out his pocket. His hands began to sweat as he flipped it open as he was scared to dial the number. He wasn't scared of too much except for Charlie getting hurt and making the call saying Charlie got hurt. Ringing started to come from the speakers as his heart began beating faster.
"Hey Don" Allan said.
"Hey Dad" Don said as cleared his throat.
"How is he? Did you find him?" Allan asked with fear in his voice.
"Uh yeah dad we found him." Don said not wanting to finish the rest.
"And?" Allan asked wanting to jump through the phone.
"He he was shot dad. But he's in surgery now." Don said before he heard a dial tone in his ear.
Rubbing his hand over his face Don walked back over to the window as they just stood there and waited for a doctor to come out with some good news. It felt like time was practically standing still because it seems that nothing had changed. Moments later Don heard his named being called so he turned around and saw his dad running towards his direction.
"Anything?" Allan said trying to catch his breath.
"Not yet but they've been in there for a while now." Don said.
"How is he?" Allan said looking towards Colby.
"He's handling it the best he can right now. He hasn't said too much since we got here." Don said.
"Hey Allan. I'm sorry about Charlie." David said walking to their conversation.
"It's not your fault and I'm glad you were there to help." Allan said before a voice came into the room.
"Epps" the doctor said as he walked up to the group.
"How is he?" Colby asked as tears began to sting his eyes again.
"He's stable right now. He had lost a lot of blood and it was touch and go for a second. You can go see him just be quiet not to wake him." The doctor said as he walked away.
They all walked into the room and just stared at Charlie as he lay there helpless. Colby walked to his side and just watched as his chest moved up and down slowly. Running his finger down his arm until he reached his hand and squeezed it tightly.
"I'm sorry Charlie." Colby said as he kissed him on the forehead.
"It's okay" David said as he put his hand on Colby's shoulder.
"If Charlie would've never worked with me he wouldn't be here" Don said standing on the opposite side of Charlie.
"Don he loves working with you and know that. You would have to kill him for him to stop working with you." Allan said.
The room fell silent for about ten minutes as everyone just watched Charlie. David went and sat in a chair by the window and Colby and Allan were by his bedside and Don was in the hall filling in Liz and Nikki who were on the phone.
"Colby why don't you go get some fresh air?" Allan suggested.
"I'm not leaving his side." Colby said.
Colby held his hand and occasionally looked at the monitor. He watched at how the line moved when his heart beat. All of a sudden Colby's would comes to a hault when he hears a long beep from the monitor. He couldn't believe that Charlie just stopped breathing.
"HELP" Colby yelled.
