Chapter 1 – All ending seconds

„Team One, Hot Call. Armed man shooting in the Burberry Mall. We know about two dead civilian ", Winnies voice came through the speaker as the alarm went off.
"Lets kept the peace." Greg said clapping his hands while heading to the SUVs.

"Jules Sam, you two take Bravo, entering from north west. Raf and me alpha entering right here. Spike you get us through this mall. Floor plans on the mobile as soon as possible." , Ed was introducing the tactics while they where standing in front of the mall.

"Copy that.", Spike said as well as Sam and Jules who where heading straight to the entrance. "I am glad we are in this together." Sam said giving Jules a smile before taking a deep breath and opening the door.
The two of them where no secret to the team anymore. Meanwhile they where living together since nearly a year.

As soon as they entered the building shots where fired.

"Shots fired. Third floor north west direction.", Sam said through his comm. while his blue eyes where watching his surroundings carefully.
He gave Jules a quick nod and with that the two of them started to secure the building. Floor to floor. They got no visual on the subject at any time and no more shots where fired but Jules and Sam where professional enough to know that the shooter, Eric Fenton, could be anywhere in this building.

"It's way to quite." Jules said through her comms watching Sam who was searching the right side of the second floor. Just in the second Jules made eye contact with Sam another shoot was breaking the silence.

Everything happened between heartbeats. Jules was just looking at Sam as she heard the noise. The next thing she got aware of was Sam crushing to the ground without any warning. "Sam!" Jules screamed getting herself into a secured position.

"Officer down! Officer down!" Jules screamed in panic. Even from her position she could see Sam, his still form lying flat on the ground.

"Sam status!", Serg said with angst in his voice.

"Status Sam! Are you with us?" No answer.

"Jules what the hell is going on?", Ed barked into his comm..

"Sam is down. I am a few feet away but I can get to him."

"No risk Jules." Greg said while Jules was taking a deep breath. Seeing Sam lying there like this was her worst nightmare. She had to reach him, make sure that he at least was still breathing.

With all her strength she started to run to Sam relived that no more shots where fired.

"Sam!", she nearly screamed as she was hitting the floor right next to him. He was lying face down blood was forming around his body. Jules was fumbling desperately to find his pulse taking a deep breath as she found it.

"Sam is shot. The bleeding is pretty bad. He is unconscious but he has a pulse. We need EMS here right now."

"Jules we are on our way!" It was Eds strong voice which kept her focused. A small grown from Sam nearly made her jump. Her body was so full of adrenaline that she nearly couldn't handle it.

"Sam? Can you hear me?" Jules asked while Sam was slowly turning his head to her side. "Hey there. You are going to be okay you hear me? Everything is going to be okay." Jules said while tears where screaming down her face.

"I…."

"Shhhh Sam, don't talk, it's okay."

"I can't….I can't feel my legs." Sam said causing Jules to watch his back in horror.

"It's going to be okay Sam." She said again stroking his face gently.

"Serg Sam is with us again. He can't feel his legs. We really need help!" Jules said while she could see Ed and Raf approaching from the opposite direction.

"Ed and Raf are nearly here. You hear me?" Jules asked. A small groan from Sam was the answer. Jules could tell that he was fighting to stay conscious.

"Sam I love you so much. You have to pull through this, you hear me? You have to pull through this." Jules said causing a small smile on Sams face.

"Sam!" It was Ed who was kneeling down right next to Sams head. He touched it lightly before looking over Sams body.

"I was to afraid to touch the wound. I won't move him." Jules said while Eds eyes where scanning the area.

"Boss we can't move him!", Ed said through his comm. stepping away from the group just a few feet.

"Eddy you know that we can't send EMS in there."

"He is going to die if they won't come in here in a second."

Greg rubbed his bare head with his eyes closed.

"Damn it. It's Steve out here. I will talk to him. Maybe I can send Spike and him in with a shield."

"It's possible that we are still in Fanton line of fire right here"

"Damn it Eddie."

"We can't move Sam."

"Than locate Eric Fanton now!"

"Copy that."

"Jules EMS are on the way in." Ed was lying he didn't know for sure but he could only hope that Steve was going to take this risk. Sam had saved him once maybe he was going to get it back now.

"But it's not secure in here." Jules whispered.

"I know. Greg is talking to the EMS right now. He is going to bring them in with a shield. Raf go to the western door and get a shield too." Ed said taking position in front of Jules and Sam with his MP 5 drawn. He was watching his surroundings carefully. In any other situation they had to move but for now with Sam down there was no other possibility.

"Spike and Raf are on the way with EMS." Jules inhaled deeply by Gregs words.

"You hear that Sam? They are on the way. Everything is going to be just fine.", she said her hand never leaving Sams pulse.
