Chapter 6 There Won't Be A Next Time

     "Look John I-" But I cut him off anger boiling up inside me but I remained calm on the outside before I sad "No Sherlock, No not this time." "John I-" "No Sherlock, no you promised me you would protect her and you broke that just don't." And with that I stormed away to go check on Hallie in surgery. Praying she was okay and not near death the words still echoed in my head "You Promised Me Sherlock." When I entered the surgery room I was not prepared with the sight that met me and for the first time in a long time I actually felt fear."Oh God why ?"

                                                                                 * * *

      I walked into that surgery and it is not just what I saw that made me afraid it was  the sound I heard that scared me. The doctors trying desperately trying to stop the bleeding and get Hallie's heart beat going again. I rushed out of the surgery and got prepared to step in and help. "John you cannot be in here your family." One of the surgeons told me, "I am not leaving step aside." He did not dear disobey, as he stepped aside I did not hesitate for even a second I grabbed material to stop the bleeding while I shouted "Get her heart beating again I have the bleeding, now !" Everyone around me scrambled around me trying to get the heart rate back up and I was trying my hardest not to cry as they kept trying and trying, but had no success. Finally  one of the men called it, "Time of death 14:45."

                                                                                * * *

      I awoke I realized I was not at the crime scene I was in some big building and then Molly appeared "Hallie you need to focus there is a hole ripped right through you. You will be in a lot of pain I need you to stay calm." As if on cue I felt a ripping sensation go through my whole body mostly in my lower left stomach. I cried out in pure pain and agony, as I faintly heard Sherlock's voice saying "Hallie come on were loosing you, stay with me." Oh I am in my mind I must be-. Another ripping pain surged through my body and I fell to my knees trying not to scream out in anger and pain, -Dying. Great how do I stop myself from dying I saw John appear in front of me and he said "Hallie remain calm you need to focus what would Sherlock do ?"

    I thought but soon my thoughts were becoming to heavy I fell back and could not find the strength to get up John and Molly were fading out of view and suddenly Moriarty appeared. "What... What do you.... Want ?" I rasped out "You to die already it just takes a push come on." I felt another rip and mind started to fade in and out. "Come on you'll break them if you die I won't have to you are letting em down Hallie, Sherlock and John will be very disappointed."  And with the mention of their names I found a burst of energy and started fighting the pain I felt. "Oh you aren't getting better are you ? Was it something I said Hallie ?" I ignored him and kept pushing up fighting for life I saw a light at the end of the long hallway and I forced myself away from Moriarty and towards what I hoped was wakefulness.

        I let go of the gauze as I hear the doctor say "Time of death 14:45." I looked at her and said "I love you as I started to walk away when I thought I heard one of the best sounds on earth 'A monitor beep.' I turned around with hopeful eyes fixed on the monitor and there it was again but this time I saw it a pulse on the monitor and another and another. We got back into action and I kept my hands on her neck waiting  for the next pulsation, and then it came stronger and stronger. And then it happened her eyes fluttered open revealing her beautiful brown eyes. The first word out of her moth was something I did not want to hear 'Sherlockkk'.

       Of course we quickly stitched up the wound with her still barely awake clearly still under I wonder what happened, she was dead I saw it . I guess I should fulfill her wish and go speak to Sherlock as much as it will hurt to look him in the eyes. I walked out of the OR and left the doctors to finish up as I got washed up to go talk to Sherlock. As I walked into the waiting room I saw Molly and Lestrade with Sherlock in between them head in his hands as his body shook and that's when I realized I might of hurt him.

       I sat in the hospital waiting room I could not help but feel responsible. How could I be so stupid putting her on the field when she is so vulnerable. "Molly what have I done ?" I said my voice wavering on the brink of tears. "Sherlock you couldn't have done anything about it." Molly said "This is not your fault." Lestrade added. "Yes it was, I agreed to put her out there this is my fault all of it." I gasped out . I could not hold in the pain anymore I put my head in my hand's and sobbed, I hadn't cried since I was younger. After about 15 minutes if crying I felt a third comforting hand rubbing my shoulder, it was not Molly it was to firm a grip. Lestrade? No he was on the other side of me. I pushed my face up, and saw it was John who had a smile of sympathy on his face.

    I tried  to shrug him off while saying simply "Go away." and of course Molly and Lestrade got up and left "I din men ou com ack."  "Look Sherlock it was not your fault." John began I looked at him with hopeful eyes and said "Yes it was I put her out there today." "Sherlock you could not have done anything to stop that guy." "Ya but-."I chocked on a sob. "Oh Sherlock." John breathed and pulled me into a tight hug. "Next time you will be more observant." I shot my head up and said "There- there won't be a next time John." He gave me a sympathetic look and said "How about we go and see her she should be awake by now." "I'd like that."

       I awoke to the horrendous  smell of Hospital but as I tried to sit up I felt the dull throb in my left side, and I let out a slight gasp of pain, little did I know I had an audience. "Are you OK Hallie." Sherlock practically yelled. "I am fine." I sighed out. "Look Hallie what happened out there today I am so sorry that should have never happened, I just-" "Sherlock calm down I am not mad." I interjected as he kept ranting about how sorry he was I started to tune him out and think about other things but eventually his smooth baritone voice drilled his way back into my head and before I could say anything John said "Sherlock calm down. She is fine alive and well." I finally spoke up. "So um Sherlock about the case. Next time I will-" "There will not be a next time Hallie you are off the case."  I felt anger boiling under my skin I wanted to yell and scream but all my anger left me sort of paralyzed all I could manage through gritted teeth was "I am what !?!?"
