A/N: I'm still a little behind on review replies, but I'm getting there :) It's just been sort of a crazy weekend. Anyway, this is the last chapter. Endings are never my forte, so I hope it doesn't disappoint. Thank again to my betas, geminigrl11  and moogsthewriter , for their support, and to everyone who has read and reviewed. It's been fun!  Previous parts here.

( It felt like someone had stuck a claw down his throat and wiggled it around. )

A/N: And the resolution begins :) Thank you!  Previous parts here.

( It came back in flashes. )

A/N: This is a bit on the short side, but it has some key turning points, so hopefully you'll forgive that. After this, just two chapters to go :) Thanks!  Previous parts are here.

( Blaine pulled the trigger. )

A/N: And now, plot! Action! Hopefully the plot points make sense and that the action seems worth the wait :) Thanks!  Previous parts here.

( Steve had been on enough dangerous missions in his life to know that sometimes things went wrong. )

A/N: I promise, things are moving steadily toward a climax now, and you can expect some significant action on Steve's part in the coming chapters :) Also, there's a good chance that some of the background I came up with off the cuff for Danny's family will be debunked (possibly tonight!) but it's what I came up with while writing this. Thanks!  ( Read more... )

A/N: And now, back to Steve's POV to see how he's handling this change in the game. Thanks :)  Previous parts here.

( Sometimes bad things happened. )

A/N: And now the action picks up a bit :) Happy reading!  Previous parts are here.

( Danny had never actually been in a hostage situation before. )

A/N: As always, I appreciate all readers and reviews. This is starting to build to the climax, but it's not quite there yet :) Thank you!  Previous parts are here.

( Danny had a knack for being annoying. )

A/N:  Previous parts are still here.

( By the time Danny could breathe again, Blaine had already left the room. )

A/N: Those who have reviewed - you're awesome :) And you truly make my day!  Previous parts are here.

( Steve didn't pass out. )
