"We're gonna get hit…" Jules said in her comm.
I know, that's the point. Sam said, to cause a distraction so we can get Greeley out of the building unnoticed.
Jules nodded,
Well, this'll be fun. She thought sarcastically, taking in the raging crowd in front of the building. They didn't seem too violent for the moment's being.
Alright Guys, Sarge began, Remember, today these people aren't seeing us as the good guys.
Copy, came a small array of voices.
The team split into three, Sam, Ed coming in from the side, Sarge, Wordy and Jules, coming in through the crowd.
The crowd split down the middle, and an array of trash hit the three officers. An egg even managed to hit Wordy's right arm. Luckily, the crowd wasn't violent, otherwise making it through the crowd wouldn't be hell to get through.
Until now, out of nowhere, a white male about mid-twenties, swung out with a bat,
"JULES!" Wordy yelled, but it was too late for anyone to react and the bat struck Jules across her right cheek. She let out a startled yelp as pain exploded throughout the right side of her face, the swing had been hard enough to catch her off guard and send her falling to the side. Wordy caught her mid-fall and kept her up.
Sarge? What's going on? Sam asked through the comms.
"Someone hit Jules with a bat." He replied calmly, moving behind Wordy and Jules.
The man began to swing again, but Sarge drew pepper spray out of his vest and sprayed him, the man let out a yell and slipped to his knees. The crowd didn't retaliate, still in shock at what had just happened. Jules stumbled slightly, still dazed, but maintained her balance, as Wordy helped her towards the building entrance.
They stopped in the lobby, Jules reached up to touch her cheek, and her fingers came back sticky with blood, Wordy slapped her hand away, "Don't touch, it's open, you don't want it to get infected." He took her chin in his hand for a moment, and examined it.
"I'm fine." She replied quietly, as he let her go.
Then Sam and Ed were there. She could see in Sam's eyes that he wanted to do more than would be smart, and she gave him a small inconspicuous nod.
Ed's face hardened when he caught a look of the wound,
"Come on." Sarge said, leading them to the make shift command post.
"Sam?" He asked once they were there,
"Got it." He replied, turning towards Jules.
"Sarge, I'm fine." She protested, ignoring the fierce pain on her cheek, "It's not that bad."
"Nice try." Sam said, taking her arm and leading her over to a chair, she sighed, and sat down.
He pulled out a small first aid kit, and Ed stood beside her.
Sam reached forward with a small strip of cloth in his hand and met her eyes for a moment; she winced, as he wiped at some of the excess blood.
Sarge walked over, "How bad is it, Sam?" He asked, taking in the still bleeding gash on her face with the dark bruising forming beneath it.
"I'm not sure yet. She might need stitches, when I get it to stop bleeding, we'll know." Sam replied, then looked to Ed as he pulled something out of the small kit.
"Here, give me your hands." Ed said,
"Oh no…" Jules moaned, seeing Sam pull an alcohol pad out of the small package.
He looked up at her sympathetically, hating that he was about to cause her pain.
Ed gathered her wrists in his hand, and Sam cupped her chin in his, holding it in place.
She was good with pain, but alcohol on an open wound, was not fun.
She wasn't about to beg them not to, so she just pursed her lips,
"1,2, 3." Sam said softly, then pressed the pad to the wound.
Jules grit her teeth and swallowed the urge to let out a small scream,
"Sorry Jules…" Sam said, then pulled the pad away, she let out a small breath, as he then put gauze and a piece of tape over her cheek to stunt the bleeding.
"That's going to be a bad bruise. You're lucky it didn't get you in the eye." Ed said.
"You're going to emerge later to get it checked out."
"Sarge-" She began.
"That wasn't a request Jules." He said, giving her a look. She sighed, and nodded giving in…for now.
