Pounding echoed through his ears but he couldn't recognize them. He tried to open his eyes but he couldn't. He tried to sit up but he physically couldn't.

All he could hear were the sounds of sirens, screams and police radios. But he couldn't scream out. Pain was coursing through his body, from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. He fought a wave of nauseousness as he felt a prick on his hand.

He couldn't remember why he was hurt or why he was found on the street. He overheard that he was being taken to Trinity but he couldn't fight it. Helpless and lost, he laid on the stretcher while they worked on him.

The ride to the ambulance was a short ride but it felt like an eternity to Danny. He couldn't tell if it was a ride to Heaven or his ticket to Hell.

He knew who this fight was about and how much it involved. But one thing was clear: this battle for her was worth it.
