Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Rookie Blue, though I totally wish I did.

Okay, so I wasn't so pleased with my last fic, but I decided to post it anyway because I needed more imput on it….so thank you so much for all of those reviews, they really helped =] Hopefully, with this story I stayed true to the character's personalities…if not, please let me know in the reviews!

…

They were right when they said time slows right before you die. I wanted to be a cop to make the world a better place. I wanted to make a difference. Ever since I was a little girl, I had known that. My mother had just left one night, just like that, with no explanation. And from that day on, I watched my father slowly drink himself to death. He ended up leaving his division with a scarred reputation, which was another reason why I became a cop. But none of that even mattered now.

This time, I was the one staring at the gun which was pointed at me. Any other time, I would be thinking about how I could escape, but still make an arrest. About how I could come out alive. But this time, I felt real fear because I had no other option. And as that fear spread to my heart, I also felt experienced something else. Hopelessness.

Its funny how one small action can end up putting your life in danger. In my case, it was only one mistake I had made that led to this. I hadn't loaded my gun this morning. And now I stood here, hopeless as ever. All because of that one mistake.

Many things go through your mind when you know you're going to die. You ask yourself questions, and then question your answers. You wonder if you lived your life to the fullest. In my case, I know I didn't. There were so many things I'd wanted to do. But once again, I was reminded that none of it mattered. I was going to die.

I hadn't meant to end up here. I was just trying to follow Sam's instructions. We had decided to split up, and he searched the upper floor, as I searched the lower floor. I had gone down some stairs and had ended up in the building's lowest and darkest floor. I automatically drew my gun out, as I stumbled around, trying to find my way around, when I heard the familiar click sound of a gun being loaded. I turned around to face the suspect we had been searching for. I immediately pointed my gun at him, seeing that he was pointing one at me.

As he made me turn my radio off, I realized there was no way I could contact Sam. I was on my own. However, the worst part was to come. As he threatened me, I knew I would have to distract him if I wanted to make this arrest and come out alive. He turned his back on me for a second, and I took my chance. He whipped around to find me approaching him with my gun pointed, and yelled, firing his gun. The loud bang would've been heard throughout the entire building, even by Sam, who was on the highest floor if the gunman hadn't used a damn silencer.

He missed me by just a couple centimeters, and so I saw it as my chance to fire at him. That never happened. I felt the blood drain from my face when I realized how light my gun felt. I had never loaded it. And now, that one stupid mistake was going to cost me my life.

This wasn't the way I wanted to die. All of this because of that one mistake. I focused on the gun the man held in his hands now. I was going to die, and there was no way around it. I took a deep breath. I closed my eyes, and saw the life I had envisioned myself living. Happily married, with children of my own to take care of. That image shattered right in front of me.

I proceeded to take another deep breath, which was probably going to be my last. I kept my eyes closed, and prepared myself. I wanted to go in a peaceful way. That was my last thought before I heard the loud bang of the gun being fired.

Okay, sorry for the cliff-hanger, but I couldn't resist…don't worry, I'm not going to kill Andy off…she's the main character, and so she's here to stay! Thoughts so far? Whether you love it, or totally hate it, make sure to review!
