Stella dropped to her knees beside Mac. "Stay with me!" Her voice was desperate. Mac had two bullet wounds in his stomach. Flack had called the paramedics, but her boss was losing blood. Fast.

Stella tried to stop the flow of blood as Danny came back seething.

"Bastard," he hissed as he dropped to his knees next to Stella helping with trying to stop the flow. It didn't help that when he'd cornered the guy he ended up in a fist fight and now had bruises all the way up and down his face. Stella noticed them, but didn't comment.

"Stay with us Mac," Danny whispered. The older man had looked out for him ever since he'd joined the crime lab five years previously, and now he was bleeding out onto the concrete. Tears intermingled on their hands as they kept pressure on the wound. The paramedics arrived and Danny and Stella stepped back to let them work. Danny wrapped an arm around Stella's shoulders.

"He'll be fine," his voice was more certain than he felt.
