A.N: I loved this episode! I hated the ending but the stupid, realistic part of me knew that, since it is ABC we're dealing with, I'm lucky to have gotten this much in only the third season.

I own nothing, but if I did she would have smiled after he what he said.


The funny thing about being shot is, if you don't die instantly, you have an out of body experience, but while you're still stuck in this shell you call a home.

While the rest of the world was screaming over a shot fired and a shot cop, you feel completely still and calm, not really noticing the burning pain in your chest and the cool rivers of ice running through your veins.

The only thing you do notice is the very handsome man leaning over you, with a scared look in his eyes you can't seem to comprehend, since your slowly drifting deeper into sleep then you've ever before.

You try to smile, but your face is frozen in the pain it was in before you started drifting. He keeps talking which takes you back to a few days before, when you were having the worst fight of your partnership. He kept saying how you needed to give in, and start letting yourself be loved. After he left and you replayed the evening, you realized you subconsciously nodded to everything he said. You hope he didn't notice and go back to work.

But now work was over, and you couldn't nod to tell him everything was alright. You just lay there and try to smile.

You hang on for a few more hectic seconds, until he says little words that make you work so hard to smile you tire yourself out and drift off.

"I love you Kate! I love you!" He keeps repeating in a mixture of promises and pleads.

Oh Rick, you think before you drift to black, You really have shitty timing


Whatcha think? Like I said before I loved this episode, call me a sociopath if you must, but we all know you did too. My mom really called me a sociopath after I said I loved this episode. Love you mommy! Review constructive critism.
