This is my first multi chapter and Flashpoint Fanfic and like my 2nd in general. I am taking the chance because I have been watching it again because for some reason after season 2 I stopped watching (shame on me), reading fanfictions and got the inspiration.

The story takes place around season 3 but in my own universe. Lou is gone and Leah is on the team (I really liked her). Jules is with Steve and Sam is a little bit heart broken. I am a "whumper" therefore there will be some Sam Whump! Just because I believe there are not enough fanfics of it.

English is not my native language as you will notice and I have no Beta but myself, sorry for the mistakes and feel free to correct them.

I don't have any real medical or police training, my knowledge comes from all the TV I watch and the things I read therefore sorry if some things seem too much far fetch. :D

T: for some language.

Enjoy!

P.S. Yes, in my mind Flashpoint and Sam are mine, reality check Flashpoint is from CTV and Sam is a fictional character not created by me.

Chapter 1

There was not even a hint of sunlight when Sam crossed the doors from the SRU headquarters. It was Saturday and he was facing a 12 hours shift. Not that he was happy nor sad to be there he was just there as he had been the past days; watching Jules go out night after night with Steve the long lost High School friend, it was bad enough to work with her after she broke it off now he had to see her start a relationship with a guy that even though he tried, could not hate.

There was only the night operator in reception and the teams that covered the previous shift. They were leaving or getting ready to leave, he greet them all and went directly to the locker rooms to get ready to hit the Gym.

His usual routine had become the anchor for normality and the exercise was just a must. During his time in the military he could spend hours exercising to get rid of all the stress and occupy his mind and when he was drafted and spent those years in the dessert as a sniper his usual hyperactive self had been toned down as he had to spent even days in the same position waiting for his target; now there was a lingering need every day to clean all his mind cob webs that appeared after every restless sleep, too much to think about.

"Sam? You're here early" Jules' voice resound throughout the silent gym but Sam was lost in his reverie until Jules approached him and touched softly his shoulder "Sam?" He got startled and almost lost balance as one weight fell from his grasp and fell near his foot, his instincts made him react very quickly and avoided suffering from a rouge weight falling on his toe, she helped him steady himself as he turned around to find big brown eyes looking in terror "I am sorry I didn't think…"

"Jules its fine, it was nothing" he reassured her while giving her a smile, a smile that she only saw and loved. "What are you here so early?" he asked trying to make the awkward moment pass by as he put away the weights and cleaned up his face with a towel

"I had some paper work to finish and decided to come here early" of course she had some paper work pending, she left early the last time because she had a date with Steve, he thought, not that she will ever be careless but these little slips in her normal organized work habits were hints of the progress in Jules and Steve's relationship. He swallowed hard and repeated the same mantra in his mind, everything is fine, we are just friends, it had really not been working so far.

"Anyways, I'll go to my desk and finish it" she said with a smile as she walked out of the gym, she turned around and he stood there hands on his hips and as she walked away she couldn't help but turn around to see him standing there as he went back to his routine.

"Ok team, as the day seems to be slow I will assign the usual tasks, Spike inventory of the van system and devices, Jules and Sam clean up guns and check-up gear" they all nodded

"Leah I need you to check-up and organize the gun locker, Wordy?" he interrupted the chit chat that Wordy and Ed had "Sorry boss" they said in unison "You'll be helping Leah" Ed stood there almost looking triumphant when Greg smiled

"Ed, you will be helping reviewing the team's paperwork" Ed couldn't hide his annoyance, a man who always was on the move sitting down reviewing reports but he'll do it anyways as part of his job.

Sam and Jules walked together in silence as they reached the gear "you take the gear, I'll take the guns" she sped up to say and he agreed, she loved guns even more than him or any soldier he'd met, he found that endearing. He sat there in silence going through so many possible questions to start a conversation, when had he become so impaired in socializing with women, but it wasn't any woman it was Jules.

Right when he was about to ask something, "What are you planning for your day off tomorrow?" she asked trying not to sound so interested.

"Nothing really, I might go and visit my mom or just spend the whole day in bed" did he just say that?, he face palmed in his mind and continued his task at hand.

"Sounds like you'll have a blast" she said containing her laugh and he could not help but laugh too, just by the ridiculousness of the whole situation "Yeah, make fun of me" he said in between laughs and not making eye contact with her "Do you have a better idea of what should I do?" going into his charming self, she nodded negatively and smiled at the question.

"I have a few but…" right when she was about to finish the alarm sounded and Winnie advise the team of an emergency situation in the outskirts of the city. They dropped what they were doing and the team ran to meet to be debriefed.

Bear with me I know this was slow but a lot of action is on its way and of course the promised whump! I just wanted to set up the mood and the current situation for the main characters of this story. Later chapters will be longer
