Five 0 continued through the forest, this time Steve going much slower. it was obvious he was struggling but he wouldn't admit it. They were really deep into the forest now. They had to have been walking for close to an hour now.

"Why don't you let me help you wal-"

"Keep walking Danny. I'm fine"

Danny shook his head in disagreement but kept walking. Chin and Kono were also very worried about their leader, but they realized there's no point in arguing because Steve always wins.

This time, Jason didn't leave an easy trail to follow. Plus, Steve's vision was starting to blur so it made it even harder to trail him.

Steve stopped walking. Nausea took over. He leaned an arm against a tree and clutched his injured shoulder close to his body. It took everything he had to not throw up.

"Woah boss.." Kono noticed he had stopped, and he wasn't looking good at all.

"Steve, you OK?" Chin asked

Steve tried to speak but nothing came out except nasty coughs.

Danny was now standing next to Steve with his hand on his uninjured shoulder. "Steve you need to sit down"

"Gotta...k-keep...going" he continued coughing. Danny wasn't use to seeing him so weak.

"That's it I don't care what you say. We're leaving. Common"

As soon as he said it, Steve's body fell limp and Danny had to catch him before he hit the ground.

"Damn.." He checked Steve's pulse and it was very weak. "We need to get him to the hospital. Chin give me a hand"

Chin slung Steve's uninjured arm over his shoulder while Danny had his arms wrapped around the other side of Steve, trying not to move the shoulder with a bullet in it.

"Ok Kono, lead the way back"

Kono took off ahead, back towards Jason's house. Danny and Chin followed behind, carrying Steve's limp, unconscious body.

They got back to the cars and rushed to the hospital. Kono had called to tell them they were coming so they were met by a stretcher as soon as they arrived.

The doctors were saying a bunch of stuff and Danny had no clue what it meant. But he did know it probably wasn't good.

Danny, Chin, and Kono watched as Steve was rolled into a room. They all stood there in the waiting room, nobody saying a word for a good 10 minutes.

They stood there with so many different emotions flowing through all of them. After all of that, and they still didn't have Jason.

Danny sat down, face in his palms. Kono put an arm on him. "He'll be fine Danny"

"Yeah. He better"

"He's gonna be pissed when he wakes up" Chin said

"Yeah what's new?" Danny said. That comment made the three members chuckle.

Danny couldn't stop thinking about how Jason had gotten away again. Not only did he put two bullets in his partner, but now he's out there...planning his next murder. "I can't wait to kill that son of a bitch."
