CHAPTER FOUR

Matt sat next to Frank in the black suburban as they raced off towards the warehouse where Emily was being held. Aiden had cut off all communication and everyone in the SUV was silent as they all prayed for Emily's safety. Matt checked his gun. '6 bullets' He intended to use every last one of them. Frank stared at Matt knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"Matt..." He started.

"What is it Frank?" Matt asked annoyed.

"Maybe you should wait outside for Emily."

"No! I'm going in there. That bastard is going to pay for this." Matt looked out the window and Frank decided not to press any further. Michael sat in the back and stared at Matt. He heard so much about this man. This man that had destroyed his fiancee. It was obvious he still held feelings for Emily. Michael started to wonder if Emily might still have feelings for him also. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on just getting her out alive.

After what seemed like forever, they finally pulled onto the dirt road leading to the warehouse. The driver slowed down and shut the lights off. They came to a stop a couple hundred feet from the door. Matt hopped out, followed closely by Frank and Duff. Matt was ready to bust down the door right then but Frank grabbed him and held him back.

"Matt! Stop it! We have to gear up!" Frank handed Matt a vest and helped him secure it. He was worried about Matt. Afraid his head wasn't all there and he'd end up getting himself in trouble. Frank shook the thought from his head and decided to just trust him.

"Alright. We're all ready." Frank signaled to Jonah, the Special Agent in Charge for DC.

"Ok. Move in." Matt took off towards the door and Frank and Duff raced off after him. They couldn't yell for him to stop or else their position would be compromised. Frank silently cursed to himself. 'Dammit Matt!'

Matt didn't turn around to see if he had back up. He didn't care. Emily only had a matter of seconds before she'd be dead, if she wasn't already. Matt drew his gun and entered the warehouse. It was pitch black so he flicked on his flashlight. It was a huge empty space with a few doors towards the back. Matt scanned the room one last time, then made his way to the back. He came to the first door and kicked it open. It was empty. He moved on to the next room and was about to open it when an intense pain shot through his shoulder.

"SON OF A..." Matt gripped his shoulder and felt blood spilling over his hand. He turned around and saw Aiden run back into the room a few feet away. Matt bit his lip through the pain and made his way back there. He had to get to Emily.

Outside Frank and Duff had heard the gun shot just as they were getting to the door. Frank counted down to the other HRT members and then pushed the door open. They filed inside and Frank saw Matt kick open a door towards the back. He yelled to Matt but it was no use. Matt had gone in.

"Freeze Aiden. It's over!" Matt walked in and saw Aiden holding Emily up with his gun at her temple.

"Let her go, Aiden. You don't wanna do this!" Matt kept his gun aimed at him but he was fading fast. The blood from the first gun shot still leaking through. Matt blinked his eyes.

"What's the matter Matt?" Aiden laughed at him as he saw the agent struggle to stay conscious. Emily stared into Matt's eyes, silently begging him to hold on, to stay with her. Matt shook his head and raised his gun back up.

"Let..her..go!" Matt struggled to get the words out. Aiden threw Emily to the floor. She let out a whimper as she felt a bone in her arm snap.

"And what are you gonna do Agent Flannery? Huh? SHOOT ME?! I DON'T CARE! GO AHEAD SHOOT ME!" Aiden was yelling by the time he finished. Everything was going fuzzy but Matt swore he heard Frank before another intense pain shot through his leg. Matt fell to the floor and cried out in pain. He had never felt anything like it. That bastard had shot him in the knee. Matt's head fell against the concrete. He heard gun shots ring through the room and watched as Aiden fell to the ground a few feet away from him.

"Emily!" Matt tried to call for her but it came out barely a whisper. Emily saw Matt hit the ground and made her way over to him. She stared into his dark brown eyes and felt tears sting her cheeks.

"Matt! Stay with me Matt. It's going to be ok. Just stay with me." Emily ignored the intense pain shooting through her arm as she tried to keep the man she still loved from slipping away.

"Emily...you're...ok." The room started to spin and darkness clouded his eyes. He tried to fight it but he had no strength left. Matt let his eyes close and within seconds was gone.
