Leo stood in the back of the room watching everything take place. He had heard the gun fire and had rushed into the room when it stopped. Everyone was so focused on each other no one had even noticed him.

He had watched as Jake and Joe saved the woman he loved but hated seeing her in pain. Hearing her screams broke him in two. As he watched them insert the make shift chest tube he felt his body sink to the ground. He sat there on his knees praying to God to protect her. He didn't come back here to watch her die.

He watched the relief in Jakes eyes when she started breathing easier. He listened as Ryan comforted her. He wanted to be the one to hold her and tell her to fight for them.

He couldn't believe when Jesse started shouting into the phone at the EMT's saying it was going to take 30 minutes to get there. He knew someone could die before they got there. All he wanted to do was pick Greenlee up and put her in his car and rush her to the hospital. He knew that would do more harm than good and for now at least she seemed to be holding her own.

As he took some comfort in the thought that Greenlee was ok he heard a frantic Ryan calling out for Jake to help her.

Jake ran over to the couple. "She's not breathing Jake what's wrong?" Ryan pleaded with his friend.

Jake checked for a pulse and found nothing. "Jaime get over here I need your help." He called out as he pulled Ryan to his side. "Ryan I need you to keep pressure here. We can't have the tube fall out. Jamie I need you to help me do CPR".

Quickly they jumped into action. Jake pushed his hands down on her chest fast and hard counting out the beats to fifteen. Jaime leaned over her and breathed two breaths for her. The repeated this as Jake called out to her, "Come on Greenlee breathe for me sweetie" he continued to push down on her chest. A few seconds passed that felt like an eternity before she took a breath on her own. Jake checked for a pulse and was relived to feel a strong pulse.

With the latest crisis behind him Jake went over to where Jesse and Angie were sitting. "Hey Ang how's your arm?"

"Jake I'm fine. Please don't worry about me. How's everyone else doing?"

"We've got to get them to a hospital soon. Greenlee's barely holding on. We have no idea where the bullet hit Marissa she could have some serious internal injuries not to mention she's dangerously close to going into shock. David's worried that the bullet could move into Brooke's heart if we don't get in there soon and get it out. Both Kendall and Scott have nonlife threatening injuries. What's the word on the EMT's Jesse?"

"I just talked to them. There was an accident not too far from here and because there's only one road to this damn house the accident is blocking the EMT's from getting trough. They said they think they can get the road clear enough to get through in the next half hour."

"HALF AN HOUR! Jesse these people need to get to a hospital now!"

Jesse grabbed the doctors shoulder trying to keep him from freaking out, "Jake I know. These are my friends to. We'll get them to the hospital soon. Just keep them strong until we can get them there."

Jake let out a sigh, "Thanks Jesse. I'm going to go check in with the others."

Jake walked over to where Cara was watching over Marissa. He placed a hand gently on Cara's shoulder, "How's she doing?" He looked over at Marissa who looked incredibly pale.

"It's not good Jake. She's lost a lot of blood I don't know what the bullet hit. If we don't get her into an O.R. soon she'll be too unstable to go up."

"I know Cara they're trying to get here soon. Just keep her strong."

Bianca, who hadn't left Marissa's side, interrupted, "Jake what's taking so long?"

"Jesse said there's accident down the road a ways. It's blocked the road. Once they get part of it cleared they can get units in here. Don't worry Bianca we'll get her out of here. I'm going to go check on everyone else."

Before Jake could get up they noticed Marissa opening her eyes. She had been in and out of consciousness since getting hit.

"Hey Marissa. How you feeling"

"Like I got shot" they all looked down at her as she tried laughing "come on guys I may have been shot but I didn't lose my sense of humor."

Looking more towards Bianca then the doctors Marissa tried to reassure her girlfriend, "Look don't worry about me so much. I'm not going anywhere. I have too much to live for. I have a beautiful son, a great job, a wonderful family, and a new house. Not to mention the most beautiful woman on this earth loves me. We're going to spend the rest of our lives together."

Bianca bent down and kissed her on her forehead, "I'm going to hold you to that promise".

Marissa turned back to Jake, "Hey Jake can you do me a favor?"

"I can sure try" was his answer.

"Get this one to let go of my hand and go check on her family."

"Yeah I think I'll refrain from choosing sides on this one. I'm going to go check on the others." He knew better than to get on the wrong side of a Kane woman. He went over to where Adam was sitting with Brooke and David.

As Jake walked away Bianca looked into her eyes "Marissa don't think for a second I'm going to leave you."

"Bianca I've got one of the best doctors in the world taking care of me. I'm sure your Mom, sister, and cousin could use you. Go check on your family."

"God, have I told you lately how much I love you?" Bianca smiled down at Marissa. She lowered her head and their lips met and for just a moment they were just two women in love the rest of the world disappeared around them.

Marissa pulled away "Stop trying to seduce me" she smiled up at Binks.

"I think that was the other way around" Bianca said with a wink, "Alright I'll be back." She gave Marissa a quick kiss on the forehead and went to check on her mother.

Erica was sitting on the floor in the same spot she had been in since the shooting first started. Her eyes were focused on the blood that covered her dress.

Bianca bent down and put her arm around her mother, "Mom? Mom are you ok?"

Erica looked up at Bianca and then looked towards Greenlee, "Bianca that could have been me. I should have been shot not Greenlee. It's my fault"

"Mom you can't think that. It's not your fault. It's whoever pulled that triggers fault that this happened."

"I broke Jackson's heart Bianca. I told him I didn't want to marry him. If I hadn't hurt her father she wouldn't have been coming after me. After what I did to Jack I deserve to be lying on the floor fighting for my life not her. You know most of the time I don't get along with Greenlee but, she's a apart of our family. She's your cousin, Kendall's best friend, Jack's daughter and because of me she could die."

"Oh God Jack doesn't know what happened! Where's my phone! I need to call him" Erica grabbed her purse and started frantically searching for her cell.

Bianca grabbed Erica's shoulders, "Mom stop look at me! This is not your fault! You were honest with Uncle Jack. Greenlee didn't have to confront you about that and more than anything you did not throw Greenlee into the bullets and you certainly didn't pull the trigger to the gun that hit her or anyone else in the room. Greenlee, Marissa, Brooke, Scott, and Kendall are all going to be ok. Why don't we go over and see Kendall and Zach."

"I need to call Jack first he needs to be here with his daughter!" Erica hit her speed dial and listened as the phone rang over and over. "Damn it Jack pick up!"

She heard the other line pick up, "This is Jackson Montgomery. Sorry I missed your call. Leave me a message and I'll call you back. BEEP!"

"Jack! It's Erica. I know your mad at me but I need you to call me back it's an emergency!" she flipped her phone closed. "He didn't pick up. I'm sure he saw my number and ignored it. Bianca you call him!"

"Ok mom I will but first let's go check on Kendall."

Across the room Jake and David had just finished talking about Brooke. David wanted to drive Brooke to the hospital himself but was worried that the bullet would move and she would die on the way there.

Jake then went over to Scott and Madison who were sitting with Colby, Liza, and Amanda. This was the first time Jake had seen Amanda since he started tending to the wounded. He pulled her into a tight embrace and didn't want to let her go.

"Are you ok Jake?" she asked as they pulled out of the hug.

"Yeah hun I'm ok. How's everyone over here?"

"Scott got hit in the knee but other than that we're all ok. Any word on the EMT's?"

"They should hopefully be here soon."

"Jake who did this? And why?" Liza finally asked the question that was in the back of everyone's minds.

"I wish I knew Liza. When I find them though I'm going to kill them with my bare hands. So many people could have been killed tonight. Heck we could still lose someone if the damn EMT's don't get here soon."

Madison looked at Jake concerned, "Is it that bad?"

"Yes Madison it is. Every second we sit here people are risk for infection, shock, and bleeding to death. If they don't get here soon I'm going to have to do something drastic to get everyone to the hospital."

Amanda grabbed his hand, "They'll get here baby we're not going to lose anyone. We have the best doctors taking care of them now and we'll get everyone to the hospital."

Leo continued to stand back where no one had noticed him. He watched as Ryan talked to Greenlee keeping her calm and alert. He wanted nothing more than anything to go over there and be the one to hold her to make everything ok for her. He was grateful that after she watched him go over the falls she was able to move on with her life but it was so hard for him to see her with Ryan.

Greenlee's head rested in Ryan's lap as she held tight to his hand.

"Ryan…" her voice was weak and her breathing was labored.

"Yeah baby?"

"Ryan…I'm…cold…" he looked down at her. Her lips were a light shade a blue and her face was so pale. She had lost a lot of blood. She was dangerously close to going into shock.

"Ok Greenlee we'll take care of that." He rubbed his hands along her shoulders as he called out for someone to bring him a blanket.

Angie was tired of sitting around doing nothing. She picked up one of the blankets Winifred had brought down along with the towels and brought it over to the young couple.

"Hi….Dr. Hubbard…" her voice barely audible.

Angie pulled the blanket over her wrapping it around her. She ran her hand along the brunettes hair. "You hang in there Greenlee. We're gonna get you to the hospital soon and get you fixed up. You just have to do your part and fight with us."

Greenlee nodded her head. "I'm…not…going…anywhere" she slowly got out.

"Good girl!" Dr. Hubbard felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Jake kneeling down next to them.

"How's my favorite patient doing?" he looked down at Greenlee worried at how pale she'd gotten.

She smiled at him, "You…say….that…to…all…the….girls".

They all shared a laugh. "Yeah you're probably right. Don't tell my wife ok?" He reached down and held onto her other hand and watched as she turned her head to the side slowly closing her eyes.

"Greenlee sweetie you can't go to sleep" Jake lightly tapped her cheek forcing her to open her eyes.

As she opened her eyes she saw the man across the room. Her eyes met his and for a second she didn't believe that he was there. One word escaped her lips, "Leo…?"

A/N Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the reviews.
