Why this must be read:

I rec this story only for one reason. In my opinion there is/are the best death scene/s ever written. Considering it's NOT a death story it's quite an achievement. It's a little AU and a little Sci-Fi, but all beautifully wrapped in S&H.

"How bad is it?"

"Hutch is dead," Brady said, choking back the lump in his throat.

"Oh, God." Donnelley ran a hand over his eyes and then put that hand on Brady's shoulder. "You're calling Dobey?"

Brady nodded. "Starsky's a mess. He needs somebody who knows how to handle this. I can't help him."

Donnelley shook his head and turned back to his task while Brady picked up the mike.

"This is Baker 12," he said to the dispatcher. "I need a tac two patch to Captain Dobey. It's an emergency."

"Roger, Baker 12," she said. In a moment, there was a click and Dobey's voice came on.

"What is it?" he barked.

"Captain, this is John Brady. Starsky needs you. He needs you right now," Brady said, his voice trembling in spite of himself.

A moment of silence, then Dobey said, much more gently, "What happened, John?"

"It's ... it's Hutch, Captain."

Another silence, longer this time. "How bad?" Dobey said at last.

"Cap, he's, he's -- " Brady couldn't bring himself to say the words. He just gave Dobey the address.

"No," Dobey said slowly.
