Flack walked into Stella's office, "Stell?"
She looked up and saw his face, "What's wrong?"
"It's Jess."
She stood up, "What happened?"
"She was shot."
Those words made Stella fall back into her chair, "When?"
Flack sat down across from her, "We were going to arrest a suspect, and he pulled a gun and fired before we knew what was happening. I'm so sorry Stella."
She shook her head, "We all know that when we involve ourselves there's a possibility, but it doesn't seem real until it happens to someone you love."
Flack reached across the desk and grabbed her hand, "She'll be fine, the the doctors say that it didn't hit any major arteries."
Stella nodded, "Thanks Flack. We going to the hospital?"
At his nod, she grabbed her coat and they left the lab.
Jess watched as Flack and Stella came into the hospital room.
Stella raised an eyebrow, "Nice attire Jess, going to a costume party?"
Jess glared at her, "Ya, gunshot wound and everything."
Wisely, Mac and Flack left the room so the girls could talk.
Stella walked over to Jess, "Do you have any idea how worried I was?"
When Jess shook her head, Stella sighed, "The minute I heard... If Flack hadn't said you would be all right, I don't know what I would have done."
"I'm sorry I got you so worried."
The quiet words from Jess made her smile, "It's not your fault, you had no idea that the idiot had a gun. Did you get him?"
Jess nodded, "Our back up did, he's in custody now."
Stella put on a grim smile, "I can't wait to talk to him."
Jess looked up at her, "Stell... Don't do anything stupid."
Stella leaned down, "I won't sweetie." She pressed a kiss to Jess's lips, "I'm gonna go."
As she started to walk away, Jess grabbed her hand, "Don't go. Stay."
Stella turned to look at her, she smiling, happy, at peace.
It dulled everything, it made the hurt soft.
Nodding, Stella allowed herself to be led to the bed.
xoxo, it's Rikxi darling ;P
