Daniel was too shocked to move but move he finally did, running to grab the pistol from their bedroom where it was kept as he moved back to where his husband lay. He had no idea what the hell a shot like that was going to do to Methos but he'd be damned if he let Brian anywhere near him until his husband woke.

He picked up the receiver of the phone.

"You fucking bastard! I didn't call him in!"

"Consider it a warning. I'm done wasting my time. When he wakes, you tell him to meet me at the campus training field in two nights. He's to bring you with him." The line went dead and Daniel didn't know what to do as he tried to hold his husband, shaking and crying. When time passed and Methos didn't wake, Daniel went for his husband's wallet and found MacLeod's number, calling it and waiting for an answer.

"Gods... Methos, please... please wake up... oh god... damn it... come one, MacLeod... please pick up the phone..."
