Chapter One - Fears
Everyone has something there scared of, everyone has fears. Everyone on team one was scared of something. Jules was scared of spiders, Greg was scared of planes, Spike was scared of rats, Wordy was scared of heights, Ed was scared of cats, but nobody knew what Sam was scared of.
Everybody gathered in the briefing room after a long exhausting shift.
"Ok Everyone listen up", Greg began
"Tomorrow the red cross is coming here for blood donations, everyone will be donating especially you Sam", Greg said look towards his colleague.
Sam was type O it was very important that he donate blood because it was such a rare type.
"Yes Sarge", Sam replied
The team was dismissed and told to get plenty of sleep and not to eat anything tell after there donation tomorrow. Everyone left HQ talking about the donations and why it was such a great thing to do. Sam didn't have much to say though.
When Sam got home he sat at his kitchen table thinking about how he was going to donate blood. Nobody knew he was afraid of needles. Sam paced back and forth for endless hours before he decided to get some sleep.
He woke up two hour early so he showered and got ready for work, but when he checked the clock it was still to early to go down to the station. He went out and hopped on his bike and road down to the station hoping to shoot some hops before he had to get his blood drawn. He was the first one down to the station, he headed straight for the locker room and changed. He went down to the gym and grabbed a ball.
When Sam got nervous that's what he would do, shoot some hops. It helped him relax. Sam sat in the middle of the gym floor with the ball in his hands, but with no intentions on using it. Sam sat and thought about how many lives he saved as an SRU officer, then he thought about how many lives he could save by donating a little blood. After all its just a little poke he told himself.
Sam got up off the floor and tossed the ball into the net before turning around and walking back into the locker room. He changed into his SRU uniform and rolled up his one sleeve before walking down the hall to the medical room. That's correct there's a nurses room in the SRU.
Sam was surprised to see the whole the team already waiting outside the door.
"Hey Sam", Jules yelled from her position in line.
Sam raised his hand and waved at Jules. He went and stood next to her in line. The doors opened and a woman in nurse scrubs greeted the men and Jules. There were seven chairs set up, one for each member of the team. Sam sat next to Jules, hoping it would take his mind off the sharp pointed object that would be entering his arm.
Everyone sat down and settled into the cars. Sam put his head back and closed his eyes. He didn't want the others to see his fear but Sam was scared his hands were sweating and his forehead began getting sweaty to. He dried his hands off on his pants and put his head back again.
"Sam are you alright", Jules asked concerned
"Yeah, I'm Fine", Sam replied fear in his voice
"Ok Mr. Braddock your first", the nurse said walking over to Sam's chair.
She sat down in a chair beside his arm. Sam could hear her getting the instruments ready on the tray next to him and he began to panic. The nurse tied a rubber band around Sam's arm, she dipped a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and rubbed on Sam's arm where his vain was. She picked up the needle and was about it stick it in Sam's arm when Sam jumped up out of his chair and ran out of the room.
