Son

Chapter Twenty Two

Jake closed his eyes feeling the gun pressed harder into his skull.

This is it. I'm sorry, Bridgette. He closed his eyes tighter. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you.

He heard the gun fire and the shattering of glass but didn't feel anything except something hot spraying his neck and cheek. Jamie's arm slid from around his neck. A soft thud followed and the pressure against his head was no longer there. Jake opened his eyes swaying from the lack of support now. He could vaguely see a black blur coming towards him.

"Jake!" Horatio caught him as he fell forward.

"Dad?" His voice cracked. "I'm not dead?"

Horatio picked him up carrying him to the stairs. "No you're not."

He nodded his eye lids starting to droop. "Not yet at least, right?"

"You're not going to die Jake."

"If you say so." He mumbled. "Wake me up when we get to the hospital."

H looked up as the door opened. Eric walked down a few steps, his gun held steadily in front of him. He stopped when he saw Horatio and Kyle. Eric put it back in his holster.

"I heard shots." he frowned helping them up the stairs.

All Horatio did was nod keeping Jake close to him. "Where are Bridgette and Kyle?"

"In the hummer waiting."

Bridgette fidgeted in the back of the hummer peeking out the back window every few seconds. "Shouldn't they be here by now? Its been ten minutes."

"Give them a few more minutes." Kyle frowned his shoulder still throbbing. "Dad will come through, he always does."

She stifled a laugh. "Yeah, he comes through rarely."

"Bridgette, he will come out with Jake intact."

She bit her lip but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Bridgette relaxed slightly when Horatio and Eric came out carrying Jake.

"They're safe."

Kyle looked over the seat. "See, I told you they'd be fine."

Not a very long chapter but they never are. Guess I'll be making a sequel to this. Granted Jamie and Anna won't be in it if they're both dead but I have something else in mind for the siblings ^^

Think there will be one last chapter after this and then sadly it shall be over.
