Ten minutes earlier...

Blaine slowly woke up to find himself tied up again. He looked around to see he was on the floor in the back of a car. His hands, feet, and arms were tied together, and there was another strip of duct tape over his mouth. He tried to break free, but the ropes were too tight. He sighed and gave up. Something was ticking besides him. Blaine looked towards the sound and saw a bomb next to him.

'Oh. Hmm. A bomb.' He thought, and turned back around. It took a few seconds to realize what he saw. 'BOMB?!' He gasped, stood up against the door and started slamming against it to make noise. He successfully unlocked the door, but couldn't open it.

Five minutes earlier...

Tina and Mike walked down the street hand-in-hand. They thought they saw Cooper rush past them earlier. They decided to go in that direction just in case. Mike saw a sporting goods warehouse.

"Ooh, maybe they have football stuff!" Mike said excitedly.

Tina sighed, bored. "Not really in the mood for sports shopping, Mike."

Mike was slightly disappointed. "Oh...well, I guess I can just come back later."

Noticing the disappointment in her boyfriends' eyes, Tina just shook her head and smiled. "No. It's okay. I'll just walk around the neighborhood and meet you somewhere."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine." Tina smiled.

Mike smiled and kissed his girlfriend. "Thanks. Be careful."

"I will." Tina walked off. She walked until she turned a corner and continued walking down that street. Her eyes widened when she saw a group of men...two of whom looked like Cooper and ….Cooper's look-alike? Her eyes caught Cooper's, and he jerked his head towards a car. Almost without thinking, Tina ducked to hide at the side of the car. She took deep breaths to calm her hammering heart in her chest. She pulled out her phone and called her boyfriend. "Mike! I saw Cooper! He's with a group of men across the street from me."

"Where are you?" Mike asked.

"I'm on Main Street around the corner where we were." Tina replied.

"Is Blaine with you or the men?"

"No. But Cooper jerked his head towards a black car. I think Blaine's there."

"Okay. Stay where you are, and keep hidden." Mike said. "I'll call Puck, Sam, and Kurt."

"Okay." Tina hung up. She felt the car rocking and muffled a gasp. She listened for footsteps and looked for shadows, but none came. Tina relaxed and squared her shoulders, and frowned in determination.

Rachel and Kurt drove in silence in Rachel's car. They've been around half of Lima and were now heading towards the warehouse district. Kurt's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Dude! Tina saw Cooper and Blaine!" Mike exclaimed. "They're on Main Street near the warehouse district. Blaine's in a black car."

"Wh-what?" Kurt asked in astonishment. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm on my way there, and I'm calling Puck and Sam."

"Okay. Thank you." Kurt hung up and turned to Rachel. "Tike found the Anderbros. They're on Main Street in the warehouse district. Cooper and his evil twin are with a group of men across the street from Blaine, who's in a black car."

"Okay." Rachel sped up towards the district. "Maybe if we're real quiet, we can drive up to the car, sneak Blaine into my car, and drive off quickly."

"Good idea." Kurt replied. They turned around the corner of Main Street. "Okay, I see Tina. Pull up behind the car. I'll get out, get Blaine and Tina in the car, and we'll drive like hell."

"What about Cooper?" Rachel asked.

"Oh, yeah..."

Meanwhile, Tina crept along the car looking into the windows. Blaine wasn't in the front. She crept to the backseat window. Sure enough, Blaine was frantically trying to open the door with his hands tied behind his back. Tina tapped on the window. Blaine turned to look at her, then looked towards the bomb. Tina gasped and yanked the door open. Blaine fell towards the ground, but Tina caught him. With Blaine's weight sagging her arms and legs, Tina groaned as she pulled him away from the car.

XXX

Kurt and Rachel gasped as they saw Tina pull Blaine from the car. "There he is!" Kurt and Rachel jumped out of the car and ran towards Blaine and Tina.

BOOM!

Tina screamed as she and Blaine flew backwards onto a pile of full garbage bags. Kurt tackled Rachel to the ground to shield her from the blast. Glass sprayed onto Kurt's back, but he ignored it and jumped up, pulling Rachel with him. Seeing that she was okay, he ran towards the car again.

"Blaine!" Kurt yelled frantically. He looked around until he saw Blaine and Tina laying on the ground on top of garbage bags.

Tina groaned as she came to. She sat up slowly in time to hear her boyfriend calling to her. She looked to her left to see Mike running towards her. Mike hugged her in relief. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." She looked to her right to see Blaine out cold. "Oh, God..."

Tina and Mike unbound and ungagged Blaine. Kurt ran over and fell to his knees near tears. Tina and Mike moved out of the way. Kurt checked to see if Blaine was breathing. Blaine groaned and opened his eyes.

"Kurt?" He said weakly.

Kurt laughed tearfully with relief and hugged his boyfriend tight. "I'm here, Blaine."

Cooper and Neal just stared in shock and horror at the roaring flames where the car once stood. A lump formed in Neal's throat. This reminded him of Kate's murder. He swallowed and turned to Cooper, who had a broken and grieving expression on his face.

"Cooper...I'm so so sorry. I never meant for this to happen, I swear." Neal said, holding his hands up.

Cooper stood up and slowly turned to Neal. Keller spoke up addressing the former conman. "Kind of makes you wish you said yes in the first place, huh, Caffrey?"

Neal glared at Keller as they heard sirens approaching. Tires squealed and FBI agents jumped out of their cars weilding guns.

"FBI! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" Tony yelled.

A few of Kellers henchmen ran for it (agents in hot pursuit) while the rest obeyed.

Blaine clumsily stood up with Kurt's help. He turned to Tina. "Tina..." He wrapped her in a big hug. "Thank you. I am forever in your debt."

"Yeah, thanks, Tina." Kurt said. He too hugged her. "I would've lost my boyfriend if you hadn't saved him."

"It's no problem." Tina replied.

"Tina!" Rachel squealed and hugged the girl. "Ohh! That was so brave! We should start calling you Asian Xena Warrior Princess!"

Tina chuckled and blushed. Mike wrapped his arms around her. "My little Asian Heroine."

Blaine was deeply touched by his friends' devotion and heroics. They were always there for him unlike the Warblers.

Cooper glared at Neal. "My brother is dead because of you."

Neal was stung by that. "Look, I know how you feel..."

"Do you?!" Cooper stood up and walked towards Neal. "Blaine was the only family member I actually like and was closest to! And you took him away from me!"

"I know how it feels to blame someone for the death of someone you care about." Neal raised his hands to calm him. "I lost my girlfriend in a plane explosion a few years ago."

Cooper was about to say something when he heard someone calling to him. Cooper and Neal whirled around to see Blaine running across the street towards them. Neal exhaled in relief and turned around. Cooper just stood there in shock. Blaine stopped and took a breath.

"I got out before the explosion." He explained.

Cooper choked up. He was speechless and extremely relieved that his baby brother was okay. He pulled him into a big hug. "Oh my God. I thought I lost you."

Blaine sighed as he hugged his brother back. "You'll never lose me."

Tina, Kurt, Rachel, and Mike walked up to them. "Awww! That's so sweet!" Rachel exclaimed.

Blaine turned around and chuckled and turned back to Cooper. "Tina pulled me out before the car exploded."

Cooper sighed and pulled Tina into a hug. "Thank you! Thank you so much for saving my brother."

"Uh...heh...no problem." Tina replied in a daze. 'A celebrity is hugging me. Holy. Freaking. Crap.'

"I called our friends. They know what's going on." Mike told Rachel, Tina, Kurt, and Blaine.

"All right. I'll need to take statements from each of you." Peter spoke up. "We'll schedule appointments, and you can see your friend at the hospital."

The aftershock of the explosion and thinking Blaine was dead, then finding out he's alive started to wear off quickly for Cooper. He took a deep breath and turned to Neal.

"Um...I'm sorry I attacked you before." Cooper said sincerely.

Neal shook his head and smiled. "No worries. I would've done the same thing."

Cooper sighed and smiled. "So...what now?"

"Now...I'll probably end up back in New York as CI for the FBI." Neal nodded. He liked working with the people there, but he really wasn't a fan of the ankle bracelet they put on him.

Cooper winced in sympathy. "Wow. If that's not punishment, I don't know what is."

"Um...jail?" Neal raised an eyebrow.

Cooper stifled a chuckled. "Okay, good point."

"I know we didn't get off to a good start...but I would like to get to know you." Neal said softly.

"I'd like that." Cooper smiled sincerely. "Maybe we could grab a drink sometime?"

"I'd like that." Neal offered his hand to shake. Cooper just shrugged and pulled him into a hug.

"Too soon?" Cooper asked after an awkward silence.

"A little bit." Neal admitted. They pulled away.

"Thank you, you know for...well, at least trying to help me and Blaine." Cooper said.

"No problem, bro." Neal clapped Cooper on the shoulder and grinned.

"Okay. I just need to set an appointment to make a statement, and we'll go to the hospital." Rachel said to Kurt.

Kurt nodded. "Okay. I will wait by the car." He turned to Blaine.

"I'll meet you there. I don't want to be separated from Cooper again." Blaine replied.

Kurt smiled and kissed him lightly. "I understand. See you later." Kurt headed back to Rachel's car. He checked his reflection in the door when someone grabbed him from behind and covered his mouth.

"Not one word." His captor said, pressing a gun against his head.

Kurt gasped quietly and shook in fear. He felt lightheaded, and he assumed it was due to his head injury. He was dragged into an alley and thrown into a pile of boxes. His vision became blurry.

"...Okay. I will see you tomorrow." Rachel turned to her car and looked around for Kurt. She turned back to Blaine. "Blaine, where's Kurt?"

"He said he was going to wait by your car." Blaine replied. He looked over to see he wasn't there. "Where is he?" They both looked around. Rachel screamed and pointed to Kurt being held at gunpoint in an alley.

"NO!" Blaine screamed in horror. He tried to sprint to him, but Cooper held him back. "NO!"

"You...you ruined my plan!" Keller growled at Kurt and pulled the trigger.

Kurt threw his hands up to block the attack. He felt a warm body fly over him and the sound of a gunshot.

"NEAL!"

GASP So dramatic! Review, pls!
