Gone

"Louis" Harry says as he comes to a kneeling position next to Louis body.

Harry is a mess, watching George push Louis, knowing it was to late for Harry to do anything, knowing he couldn't get to Louis in time to save him. Scott isn't much better and he kneels next to Harry, Drew and his partner Lucy on the opposite side to them.

They can hear George shouting profanities at Louis and yelling as he's escorted away in handcuffs to get what he deserves.

"Kiddo, can you hear me?" Drew tries but gets no response.

Harry and Scott know not to touch Louis, know to let Drew and Lucy do their job but it's heartbreaking and emotional. The squad watches on and to see their top, most feared, cold, hard detectives like this crushes them into a reality check. They didn't take the bullet for Louis, they couldn't get to him either. They let their bosses down and it's emotionally challenging for all.

"We need to roll him over" Drew says.

"We can't get the backboard down here" Lucy says.

The ravine is too rocky and overgrown there is snow everywhere and they can't get all of their equipment down.

"We will have to risk it, just be gentle. Haz, Scott? Can you help us roll him with as little movement as possible?" Drew asks.

Harry and Scott nod and they all help roll Louis over with little movement.

He's covered in blood and scrapes and he's clothes are ripped, his shirt nearly non existent from scraping the cliffs on the way down.

Drew is swift and professional as he tries to hold it together seeing his brother like this, right now he has a job to do and he needs to do it well. He puts a drip in Louis and they monitor his pulse and heart rate on the monitor.

"We need to get him up to the hospital now" Lucy says as she sees Louis stats dropping on the monitor.

"Shit, Louis don't do this please" Drew says.

"What's happening" Scott says tears in his eyes.

"Fuck" Drew says

"Drew!" Harry practically yells.

"Scott, in the ambulance is a grey bag, I need it right now" Drew says as he places an oxygen mask over Louis to help him breathe.

"Drew?" Lucy asks concerned.

"I have to Luce, he won't make it otherwise" Drew turns to her and says.

She nods and Scott puts an urgent radio call in to the officers at the top of the ravine. It's seconds before two men are racing the bag down,

"What's happening Drew?" Harry asks, he's about to lose his shit.

"He has a collapsed lung and if I don't open him up and sort it right now he won't make it. There is no way he will make it up the cliff and the hospital ride" Drew says.

"What??" Harry and Scott say, neither of them have ever been so scared in heir lives.

"I'll probably need your help, so I need you both to pull yourselves together for me, so we can save Louis life. Can you do that?" Drew asks calmly, ever the professional.

"Yeah, yeah" Harry says as he realises the extent of this.

Scott nods swallowing thickly,

The bag arrives and Drew and Lucy get to placing medical tarps around Louis and around where Drew will cut Louis open.

"Scott I need another ambulance crew here and I need you or Harry to carry him up the cliff when I do this, he may wake up and I need you and Harry to keep him calm. We only have a short window to get this done and get him to a hospital, we need to move fast" Drew tells Scott.
