Re: "MaCalleigh....What should've been".
As Mac continued digging, Danny pulled him off. "Mac...Mac, you got to stop, Mac...you're not helping". Looking at Danny, Mac could feel the blood drip from his hands and knuckles. "I can't do this Danny, I can't relive 9/11, not again". "I know Mac, but you have to keep the faith that Calleigh, and Flack are alive, think of your children, this isn't just about you this time, you have your children who are going to need you, no matter what the outcome".
Knowing Danny was right, Mac sat on his knees, and watched, as the Firefighter's began digging through the debrie.
"Calleigh....Calleigh, answer me, come on Calleigh", called Don. "Mmmm....ouch....I can't move my leg, it hurts Don, where are we"? "Under the stairs, the blast blew us down, dropping the upper staircase, blocking us in". "I can hardly breathe Don, we have no air".
"Listen Calleigh, this is no time to panic, I need you to breathe normal, understand, the more we talk, or get excited, the more air we use". Knowing Don was right, Calleigh tried her best to relax. "My babies....she whispered, what about my babies"? "Shhh...come on Calleigh, be strong".
Looking at Don's face, Calleigh could see the blood dripping from above his eye. "Don...you're bleeding, we need to apply pressure". "Never mind about me Calleigh, just relax, and let me check your leg". Lifting her pant leg, Don could see the stairs, were cutting off the circulation to her leg.
"Calleigh...I need you to stay very still, do you understand, your leg is good and trapped. "I know, I can feel the numbness to my hip, this isn't good Don", as she started to fade. "Stay with me Calleigh, keep those eyes open, don't go to sleep". "So tired Don, closing her eyes, Calleigh passed out.
"How much longer"? yelled Mac, becoming impatient. "Mac...you need to calm down, why don't you call Sara, and see how the kids are"? Still not listening to reason, Danny shook him. "THIS IS ENOUGH MAC.....SNAP THE HELL OUT OF IT". Grabbing Danny by the jacket, Mac pulled him against him...."DON'T you ever tell me, this is enough, this is my wife, and your friend in there, this is the mother of my children, God this is just like 9/11, well this time, I'm going to my wife, understand, I'm going to find her".
Sara turned on the TV to watch the news, and as she seen the police station, and the explosion, she inhaled deeply, as she heard the newscaster say...."It is believed that there were two officer's, and two detectives inside the building, as it exploded this afternoon. Missing are Det.Calleigh Taylor, Det.Don Flack, Officer Davis, and Officer Stand, there is no word yet, whether they are alive, stay tuned, more to come".
Picking up the phone with tears in her eyes, Sara called Mac.
