Sorry for the late update, i had originally planned to post the next chapter at the weekend but my birthday made the weekend very hectic. Anyway I plan to have this completed by the 5th August.
Keep up the great reviews, I really enjoy them and like to answer any questions you have.
Previously:
Adam has been kidnapped by a woman who wants revenge on Mac for killing her brother and is trying to get it by taking out his team, starting with Adam.
Adam's time is running out and if he isn't found in the next few minutes, his time may be up...*Team's*POV*
Stella heard Adam's feeble attempts at getting their attention and went running in towards where the noise had come from.
Stella was completely shocked at what she saw. Adam was chained down by his wrists and he now all under water with what seemed to be his blood colouring the water.
Stella felt she just had to get him out, dead or alive although she internally wished for the latter, but dared not to check for a pulse as even if by some miracle his heart was beating it would do no good until he was out or the water was gone.
She tried pulling him up, but with the chains that was pointless.
She couldn't break the box by any conventional means so she turned to her sidearm.
She stood back a bit and kept firing at the exact same spot until it breached, making sure that she wouldn't hit Adam first.
Everyone came running in after hearing the gunshots.
The bloody water was slowly being drained. But fast enough so that Adam's head was no longer submerged.
Hawkes stepped up and quickly pulled off the tape covering his mouth which didn't make the rip sound since it was wet.
"His pulse is weak and fading fast, we need to get him out now" Sheldon said feeling his faint yet erratic pulse.
One off Flacks men came in with the bolt cutters still in his hand; he was about to use them to open a room that was chained shut; not knowing that they would be used to try and save someone's life.
"Give me those" Mac said.
The officer gave them up without complaint.
Mac ran up and quickly freed Adam's hands so they could now get him out.
Flack came to Hawkes' aid since this was a two man job.
"on three. One...two...three..." Sheldon said. Flack and Sheldon put him on the floor so he could have a look at him.
Hawkes started CPR immediately he just hoped that he was not too late
Soon after Adam hurled up all the bloody water he had inhaled but stayed unconscious.
"Hurry up with the ambulance, he may be breathing now but he's losing blood faster now he's out of the water".
Hawkes was offered two jackets, he didn't really pay attention to who they were from, and at this point it didn't really matter, all he knew was that his friend was slowly dying in front of him and he has to do everything he can or he would be letting himself and everyone down.
Stella knelt down to hold one of the jackets on one of his gunshot wounds.
Adam's eyes cracked open a little.
"You guys found me" Adam whispered since that was all he could do at this point.
"Of course we did" Hawkes said.
"In case I don't make it..."
"Don't talk like that" Stella said.
"The woman who did this, is the sister of one of the Irish mobsters and wants revenge"
"Well she's going to be pissed that she didn't finish the job" Danny said trying to keep Adam's hopes up. He just hoped that it wasn't false hope.
"I hope your right" Adam said trying to stay positive and alive.
As if on cue the paramedics came crashing into the room.
Stella and Sheldon got out of the way as the paramedics forced their way to Adam.
Adam didn't want to be separated from his friends, but since he was in no condition to fight, he didn't.
The medics quickly patched him up a little so that they could get him back to hospital alive and cart him straight back into surgery.
In the ambulance they hooked him up to an IV and gave him a blood transfusion on the way, just to keep him going.
Hawkes went with him in the ambulance. The team followed in their cars leaving only the backup to wait for someone to process the scene; as they did not want the one behind this to clean up before they got their evidence.
Danny shared a ride with Flack and Stella and Sid went in Mac's vehicle.
In both of the cars no words were spoken, aloud anyway, all the way to the nearest hospital.
In the ambulance it was much more hectic, well in comparison.
Adam started to get fidgety and started to panic.
"He's going into shock" One of the EMT's pointed out.
"Adam, hang on, were almost there" Sheldon said.
Adam was trying his best but his body seemed out of his control, he was just glad that he wasn't alone, so if he did die, he would die in peace, not drowning in his own blood.
The paramedics had given him another pint of blood but they couldn't keep giving him blood if it was just going to come back out again, it was just buying them time, time which was running out.
Luckily for Adam the hospital was only another minute or two away and they could go faster than the speed limit.
Adam fell unconscious soon after the last of the blood ran out, so now he only had what was in his body and that was going fast, faster than it should be.
As soon as the ambulance stopped outside the hospital the paramedics ran in wheeling Adam in; leaving Hawkes to try and keep up and not get in the way.
Hawkes followed as far as he could but once Adam was into a room a swarm of doctors and nurses surrounded him and Hawkes was held back just outside of the room, by one insanely strong female nurse keeping him there with just one hand.
All he could do was look through the little windows in the double doors while one of his closest friends lay there on the brink of death.
After a few minutes of watching he couldn't bare it anymore and he sat down on the seats nearest to the room which happened to be a mere few meters from it.
A moment or two later Stella, Mac, Sid, Danny and Flack came running in.
They would have ran past the room but they saw Hawkes sitting down looking at his hands and shirt coated with Adam's blood, too much of it where it didn't belong.
Nothing really new here ,but when it comes to Adam whump fics, you need a bit of this...in my opinion
