This is the second story of Donna's Breaking, post-Keep the Peace II.

Chapter 1:

Everyone from Team One was excited that Sergeant Parker was back. He'd been back two weeks, but everyone failed to notice or see how tired and frustrated Ed was. They had all their attention on Greg.

Every day, Ed was growing more tired and angry.

Ed had been helping out with Sarge and Clark's recovery, along with Donna as they were named as Acting Sergeants in Greg's absence. Plus, Ed was putting in his time taking care of Izzy. On top of that, he was helping out with Team Three, what with them being down two people.

So Ed hadn't had any time to himself. He wanted to run away, and was seriously thinking of doing just that it. He even had a bag packed in his SUV and knew where he was going to go. He was going to go to the family cottage and just stay a few days then come home. He also knew if he didn't tell anyone where he was going to go, they would hunt him down and drag him home.

He had no idea who he should tell. Maybe he would tell Donna. He knew she say nothing if she could help it. Maybe he could tell her, and she would understand.
