Callen swore as he watch Dawn fade back to unconsciousness and he looked at Hetty and said "I have some questions but they can wait until later."

Hetty shot a look at Callen but nodded. "I'll answer what I can but for now I need to make sure that my God daughter doesn't follow the same path as her parents and die."

Callen nodded at Hetty and then looked up as he finally heard the sirens. He just hoped that the ambulance got here quick enough to ensure that Dawn didn't die. He knew that there was no doubt that she was going to need a blood transfusion once at the hospital because even with him and Hetty pressing down on her wounds the blood was still pouring out of her. His eyes flicked to her face and he couldn't help but think how beautiful she was but then he shook that thought out of his head.

He wasn't a man who prayed but he thanked God when the ambulance pulled up and the EMT's got out and rushed over to where him and Hetty were at with Dawn. He just hoped that it was in time.

"What do we have?" one EMT said.

Callen looked up and said "She was shot once in the leg and once in the shoulder or chest area. We've been putting pressure on the gunshot wounds but it isn't really slowing the bleeding down. She's been unconscious for the last five minutes or so."

David the EMT who had asked nodded and said "We'll do a scoop and load. It looks as if she needs the hospital now and we'll do the assessment of her in the ambulance on the way. What's her name?"

Callen looked at Hetty who said "Her name is Dawn Andrews and she's twenty six years old."

David nodded and noted the information down as his two partners came back with the stretcher. He helped them put Dawn on the stretcher and buckle her in before looking back at the people who were now standing in front of him.

"Are any of you riding with her?" David asked.

Hetty nodded and looked at Callen. "I'll ride with her and you and Sam follow behind. Leave Kensi and Deeks here to work the scene."

Callen nodded and looked at Deeks and Kensi after Hetty rushed to follow the EMT's to the ambulance. "You two stay here and work the scene. I want to know who shot Dawn and where the shots came from. As soon as you find anything out you call me."

Kensi nodded. "Go keep an eye on Hetty for us. Let us know how Dawn is doing."

Callen nodded and looked at Sam and said "Lets go."

Sam looked at Callen and said "Are you going to the hospital with all that blood on you?"

Callen looked down and frowned as he realized just how much blood he had of Dawn's on him. "I'll clean up when we get to the hospital. Hetty wanted us following the ambulance and until we know who fired the shots I want an eye kept on both Hetty and Dawn and it looks as if Hetty has chosen us to do it so that is what we'll do."

Sam nodded and pulled out his car keys. "Alright then lets go but I'm driving."

Callen laughed and shook his head. He didn't care if Sam wanted to drive. He just wanted to get to the hospital. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that he was going to be needed there and not just for Hetty. He followed Sam to his car and got in the passenger seat. Once again he found himself praying that Dawn would make it and live to make a full recovery.

All the way to the hospital he kept his eyes trained on the ambulance that was about six cars in front of them. He didn't know why but he felt as if something was going to happen and he wanted to be prepared for it. He vowed that he wouldn't let anymore harm come to Hetty's God daughter even if he didn't really know her. He replayed the look on Hetty's face when she saw Dawn and he realized that what he had seen on Hetty's face was something that he wasn't use to. He shook his head as he realized that what he had seen in Hetty's eyes was fear and he wondered why that was.

Hetty held Dawn's hand all the way to the hospital. She kept praying that the woman she loved even though this was the first time in meeting her since she was a baby would make it. She didn't know what she would do if Dawn didn't make it. She vowed silently to herself that she would make sure that whoever was responsible for this that they would pay and pay dearly.

Her eyes stayed locked on Dawn's face and she had to smile slightly as she realized how much Dawn looked like Denise. The smile that was on her lips was a sad one as she thought about her old friend. She still couldn't believe that she was dead let alone that she had been murdered. She knew that Denise's and Draven's deaths had hit Dawn hard and she also knew that Dawn had been looking into her parent's murders on her own.

As they pulled into the ambulance bay of UCLA Medical Center she sighed in relief. She knew that Dawn was fighting to live because even with as much blood as she had lost she has not coded. Hetty took that as a good sign and she just hoped that it continued to be a good sign. She didn't want to have to bury her God daughter. She sat back and let the EMT's pull Dawn out of the ambulance and then she got out and followed right behind them. She didn't know why but she had a feeling that she shouldn't let Dawn out of her sight and she was going to go with that feeling because about the time that she didn't something would happen to Dawn.
