Please Don't Go

Live Like You Were Dying/Steve

I sat at Danny's grave. I was leaning against the headstone. I had the guitar he got me. I closed my eyes and had flashbacks of me and Danny. I started to play the song Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw. I started to sing the song. I was crying.

"I went skydiving /I went Rocky Mountain climbing/ I went 2.7 second on a bull named fu Manchu/ and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter/and gave forgiveness I have denying/ and he said I hope one day you get the chance to live like you were dying/"

I then finished that song. It fit Danno perfectly. I started to play another song Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. I wish I could have saved him. I finished the song. I put the guitar down. I laid down and curled in a ball and cried. I then felt someone sit next to me. They grabbed my head and let me lay on their lap. I cried. When I was done I looked up to see Dritt.

I had noticed he had one blue eye and one brown. I also noticed he had my badge. Rachael must have given him the things of mine that were mixed up with Danno's. I had switched keys with him. I gave him the keys to my red Silverado Truck. I took the keys to the black Camaro.

"We got a call. When your ready we can go Commander McGarrett."

"I am ready and my name is Steve."

"Ok, Stephen."

"My name is Steve."

I got into the passenger side of the truck and we went to the crime scene. I noticed it was the same place I lost Danno. We got out and I noticed Dritt had a odd look on his face. He went down the hill. I seen he was walking to the base. I followed. We came to the guard and he saw me.

"McGarret, how can I help you?"

"My wrecked truck."

"This way. Who is this?"

"Detective Dritt Webster. He was related to Detective Daniel Williams."

We made it to the truck. Dritt put on some gloves and uncovered the truck. He looked inside to the passenger side. He noticed the blood. He then looked under the seat and all over the truck.

"Who was in the passenger seat?"

"Danny."

"So, you was driving?"

"Yes, I was."

I saw he found something. It looked like it had been tossed in the back of the truck. I then saw him looking at the side of the truck.

"A bright Orange vehicle hit this truck. Also there is a license plate in the back that doesn't go to this truck."

I then followed him to the truck that he was driving. We went back to HQ. He ran the plates. It was a house in the middle of nowhere. He drove to it. I had hoped we found the guys.

We walked in and split up. I had cleared my part of the house. when I felt someone push me. I heard a crashing sound next to me. The floor gave. I had just missed being in the way by two feet. I looked over the edge and saw five injured. I called for help.

I then realized Dritt was missing. I had to wait to find him. I then realized he was one of the injured. I had a horrible feeling about this. I went to the hospital and waited in the waiting room.

The doctor told me he was not awake. They didn't know if he would wake up. I was allowed to stay with him. I sat next to him. I don't really know him. But I felt horrible for him. I hoped he would make it. Why did he push me out of the way?
