Summary: Challenge Response (posted by Sam Fox): A story from either Sam's or Jack's point of view about the events of Desperate Measures. Could even take both points of view if you are really daring ;) (You know the aftermath of Sam being found just the doctors prepare to terminate her, or when Jack is found face down after being shot twice). It could be interesting.

Authors Note: OK...my REALLY weird interpretation of this challenge! This seriously is NOT the way I wanted this one to go...but I let the fic write itself, not me write the fic...so... here we go! (It's VERY short by the way!) (// Denotes thoughts/flashbacks...you know!!)

//Hold it! Drop it! Drop it! Right now! Don't even fool around!// My own words ring in my ears.

They were going to kill her.
Extinguish the life of the most incredible woman on the planet, hell, in the universe.

//You all right?//

God...the relief was completely encompassing when we found her. When I could see her; even reach out and touch her.

//Yeah. Very dramatic, thank you.//

Those almost sarcastically spoken words were, what felt like, the most beautiful words I had ever heard spoken.

//You bet.//

Just like that.
Simple.
She doesn't have to thank me. She knows that. It's my job to protect her. To protect my team.
But...she does anyway.
Because that's who she is.
