Officer Down
A Lucky Star Fanfiction
Another Day on the Force
Author's Notes: Hello everyone, and welcome to my newest story. I've put A New Hunt on hold for this, so I hope you all enjoy it. This story will only be about 5 or so chapters long, and said chapters are likely to be relatively short. My apologies in advance if you don't like that. But hey, it's quality over quantity, right?
Anyways, enjoy.
"That was some good work today, Narumi." A police officer with light brown hair and green eyes said as Yui returned from booking a convenience store robber.
"Aw it was nothing, really." Yui said, scratching the back of her head.
"You don't have to be so modest." The officer said. "After all, it isn't every day that something like this happens around here."
"Officer Vickery has a point." Another man said as he walked in from his office.
"Chief!" Yui said as she gave a quick salute.
"What's got you so formal today anyways?" The chief asked, motioning for Yui to calm down.
"Oh, well…" Yui said, putting her arms at her sides. "My little cousin is graduating high school in a few days, and I'm really excited for her." She said.
"Really?" Officer Vickery asked. "Congratulations. You must be proud of her."
"Yeah. It was a real come from behind win too!" Yui said, obviously getting excited. "Her grades have been kind of poor lately, but she's really picked it up. Just in time too."
"Well good for her." The chief said with a nod. "Anyways, get back out there. You've still got a couple more hours today. You too officer Vickery."
"Yes sir!" Both Yui and officer Vickery said as they made for the door. They both got into a squad car, Vickery getting into the driver's seat.
"Move over, Chris." Yui said. "I'm driving."
"Oh, no. No freakin' way!" Chris said.
"Why not?" Yui asked, pouting a bit.
"Because last time I let you drive the squad car, we almost got pulled over!"
"Oh come on!" Yui whined. "It wasn't that bad, was it?"
"Just get in the passenger side." Vickery said.
"Oh, okay. Fine." Yui grumbled as she went around to the other side of the car and got into the passenger's seat. As the squad car left the parking lot, a bright red car went screaming past the two officers.
"Whoa!" Chris yelled as he turned on the siren. "Man, I would think that was you driving if I didn't know any better!" He laughed as he went into pursuit.
"Thanks for that." Yui grumbled as she grabbed the radio to call in the pursuit. "Officers Narumi and Vickery in pursuit of a red Nissan Sentra, license plate SQWBS."
"Okay, I think he's stopping." Chris said. Sure enough, the driver was pulling over. "Okay Yui, why don't you take this?" Chris said.
"Why me?" Yui asked. "I've already gotten a spot in the light today."
"Yeah, but I don't really like all the attention and stuff. You take care of this."
"Alright. If you're sure." Yui said, stepping out of the vehicle while Chris stayed and kept an eye on the radio.
Yui tapped on the window on the driver's side of the car as she walked up. "Sir, could you please roll down your window?"
"Yeah, sure." The man behind the wheel said as he rolled the window down, revealing his brown hair, green eyes, and tired face. "Hello officer."
"Hello sir." Yui said, holding out her hand. "Can I see your license and registration please?"
"Sure, here you go." He said, handing his license to Yui.
"Okay Mr. Kyle Queens." Yui said, flipping through the documents. "Do you know how fast you were going?"
"Last I looked at the speedometer it said 40 kilometers per hour, ma'am." Kyle said.
"Well when you blew past us, it looked like you had to be going at least 64." Yui said. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to write you up."
"Dammit." Kyle sighed as he accepted the ticket. "Alright, I'll get this taken care of. Sorry for the trouble officer."
"Don't let it happen again, okay?" Yui said.
"Right. I hope the rest of your day goes better than mine." Kyle said as he rolled his window back up and started pulling away.
"He seems nice." Yui said as she turned to walk back to the cruiser. Suddenly, officer Vickery jumped out of the cruiser and waved his arms wildly.
"YUI! MOVE!" He yelled.
"What?" Yui asked as she turned around just in time to see a green car heading towards her. Yui felt herself get thrown into the air, and then felt nothing after she hit the ground.
Several Hours Later
"We've done all we can for now." A young, tired looking doctor said as he hung a clipboard on the door to Yui's hospital room. "She's in a coma, and she's not responsive."
"Is she going to be okay?" Chris Vickery asked.
The doctor gave a heavy sigh before answering. "We aren't sure yet." He said. "Mrs. Narumi's injuries are extensive. Even if she woke up, she might never walk again. Unfortunately, that is looking at the bright side." The doctor sighed again. "I'm very sorry."
"Yui…" Chris said, looking through the small window into Yui's room. "Come on, pull through this."
"If you like, you can go in and visit her for a few minutes." The doctor said.
"Can I, really?" Chris asked.
"Technically, I'm not supposed to until family arrives." The doctor said. "But, I think you should be allowed to see your partner. If anyone asks, you're her cousin. Got it?"
"Got it. Thanks doctor…"
"Dorian." The doctor said. "Doctor John Dorian."
"Right. Thanks doctor Dorian." Chris said as he entered Yui's room.
"Hey there, Yui. What's up?" Chris asked as he sat down in a chair next to the bed.
"I dunno. What's up with you? And why are we here?" Yui asked as she got out of bed and stood next to Chris.
"Man, I don't even know what to say…" Chris said, sighing and looking at the floor.
"Hello? How about telling me what's got you so down." Yui said. "That'd be a start."
"I still can't believe this." He said. "I know police work can be dangerous, but this is just unfair."
"What are you talking about?" Yui asked.
"I mean, that guy just came out of nowhere." Chris said, his hands beginning to shake. "If only I had gone to give that guy the ticket instead."
"Whoa, Chris." Yui said, taking another step towards her friend. "What's gotten into you?"
"Maybe then things would have been different." Chris said, clutching his legs tightly. "DAMMIT!" He yelled suddenly, surprising Yui.
"Whoa! Calm down!" Yui exclaimed.
"If only I went out there instead, then you would be okay!" Chris exclaimed. "It's all my fault!" He said as his chest began to heave.
"Hey, what do you mean it's your fault?" Yui asked. "And besides, I'm fine, see?" She said as she tried to put a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. However, Yui was surprised when her hand passed right through Chris's shoulder. "What the?" Yui asked as she tried a few more times, always getting the same result.
"I'm sorry, Yui." Chris muttered. "It's my fault you ended up like this. It should have been me instead."
"So wait, that means…" Yui said, looking over nervously at the hospital bed. "That's me?" She asked, terrified, as she looked at what could only be her under layers of casts and bandages. Sure enough, Yui soon found herself staring into her own face. Her eyes were closed, and she was hooked up to a breathing machine. There was still some dried blood on her forehead and her face was badly swollen. "Does this mean…" Yui didn't want to finish that sentence.
"You aren't dead." Came another feminine voice. When Yui turned around, she saw someone she never expected to see.
"Aunt Kanata?" She asked, looking down at her long dead aunt.
"Hello Yui-chan." Kanata said with a smile.
