A/N: In honour of this week's new episode of Hawaii Five-0, here is a new chapter. Sorry for the delay in updates, been so busy with school...
Steve McGarrett was at a loss. Never had he been so helpless. Kono was lying there, with a weak pulse and barely conscious and he didn't know what to do.
But he was Steve McGarrett. Lieutenant Commander Steven McGarrett. He had encountered situations far worse than that of now. He could save her. He had to save her.
A realisation flooded into his mind. He remembered they had just walked from the hospital. The hospital... Steve peered into the distance, he could only just make out the white outline of the hospital and he knew that he had to carry Kono there. It was the only way.
He scooped up Kono in his arms, and felt her wince and groan at the sudden movement.
"Sorry" he murmured, "I got you."
By now, his head was pounding from the blast, his vision was spinning and his leg coordination was flailing. He had doubts that he could make it to the hospital.
A distance away, the EMTs on scene were watching at the man struggle to carry the girl to the hospital. He was walking in wonky lines and it was evident that he was in deep pain. Derek, one of the EMTs couldn't take watching this scene unfold. He said to his partner Alan, "Dude this is bad, he needs to stop moving her, it might make her worse. We have to get in there and help them."
"We can't do that man, they told us if we do, we're gonna get bombed up too! Do you want that?" But Alan was also concerned with the situation. The guy was also deeply hurt, he had been trained to help those who needed it, and it pained him that he couldn't do anything.
"I'm going in man," Derek said to his partner, "come if you want."
Alan immediately followed, grabbing a kit and a stretcher, and headed in.
It was too much. His head was burning, the wounds on his body were hurting more than ever and the aching in his leg were weighing him down.
"So sorry, Kono," Steve whispered "Gonna put you down for a bit, ok?" he gently laid her on the floor. Kono's hand found Steve and she squeezed it. "It's okay." She mouthed. By now she was pale, sweat trickled down her face, and her eyes were wide with terror.
"HEY! Are you alright?" Steve turned around and saw two EMT's rushing towards them. He felt a wave of relief and was grateful that they came. "Be careful…." He started.
"It's alright sir, we're here to help." Steve noticed he sounded calm but the EMT's eyes kept darting around, as if at any moment something bad would happen.
"We need to get out of here." They carefully laid Kono onto the stretcher and swiftly made their way to the hospital. Steve just hoped they'd get there in time.
A/N: Was this chapter written badly? I'm not particularly satisfied with it… Sorry it's so short! Anyway hope you enjoyed! Will try to update within a week…
PS. Yay for the upcoming Chin episode! I've always said that Chin deserves more screen time! And when is that Kono arc coming back, curious to see what Adams bro did...
