Tin Can Tryst

Summary: Team One receives a warning there is a bomb on a trawler ship. Greg is coordinating the call from the dock. Sam and Jules are clearing the lower decks. Raf and Ed are clearing the upper decks. Spike searches for the bomb. What happens after Spike finds the bomb?

Team One all there but this is mostly a vehicle for JAM moments and the Proposal we never saw in the series.

Setting: In the series this is set early in season five when Sam and Jules are allowed to be on the same team and dating but before Jules is pregnant and before Raf leaves the team. In my AU it is slotted after Trials and Tribulations.

AN: This is mostly a vehicle for JAM moments. The title contains the word tryst for a reason. Chapter 4 contains descriptive innuendo for the most part, tried to keep it tame. But if a making love scene not your thing you can safely read that chapter up to the point Jules kisses Sam.

Reviews do make my day. It's like a nice pat on the back or smiles letting me know that you enjoy and appreciate my efforts.

I do not own Flashpoint or any of the characters from that series. I do own my original characters (OC).

Someone Answer Please

Inside Trawler

"Boss the engine room clear. Lowest level is now all clear. We are moving up one level and starting in the processing room" Jules called out as she and Sam headed toward the stairs leading up to the processing room.

On the dock outside the ship Greg was looking at the basic layout the captain had sketched out for them. "Good. Go careful, go fast. Ed status on the upper decks?"

The Captain trotted up to Sergeant Parker and reported "All but one of the crew is now accounted for. No one has seen Tyree since we docked last night."

Ed was about to inform them he and Raf had finished clearing the upper level when Spike called out.

"Found the bomb" Spike called out to the team. Spike bent down to take a closer look and his eyes widened not liking what he saw. The timer read forty-three seconds.

Ed stopped in the upper deck crew quarters and signaled Raf to halt too. Then he asked "Where Spike?"

"Guys, get outta here. NOW" Spike's urgent voice yelled and they heard his boots slamming the hard metal stairs. As he ran he informed them "No time to defuse. Located in the forward fish bin just below the gantry. Move NOW!"

Hearing the location of the bomb and calculating the fastest way out for him and Jules it hit Sam. He stopped with his boot on the first rung of the stairs. He turned to look at Jules who was right behind him "Jules that is just above us. We …"

His words were cut off as a loud BOOM and the sounds of screeching metal rent the air. The concussion of the blast knocked both Jules and Sam to the floor and slammed the hatchway closed. Instinct took over as Sam moved to cover Jules with his body. A secondary explosion reverberated through the ship. Then all was quiet.

Outside Trawler

Greg bent over in pain as the sound of the explosions hit his ears in two ways. In his left ear he heard the explosions through the ear piece and yanked it out. He also heard them at a distance and not nearly as loud through his right ear.

As the ringing started to subside Greg straightened and looked at the trawler. He reinserted his ear piece and began urgently asking "Team status?"

Only hearing dead air he began to pace "Ed, Spike, Jules, Sam, Raf. Anyone?"

He waited. "Winnie, we need Fire and EMS on scene now."

"On their way" Winnie's calm voice responded. But she was nowhere near calm. It was just her professional voice.

Greg slammed his fist on the hood of the SUV "Status? Team anyone?" Greg watched as flames and billowing smoke rose from the trawler and heard the screech of weakened metal as the gantry crane twisted and began a slow spiraling fall to the deck of the trawler.

His team. All of them were on that ship. He squatted down and put his head in his hands. He couldn't lose them all. Not in one fell swoop. Hell they didn't even know why a bomb was on this ship to begin with. Someone called in the bomb threat. His team responded.

Spike was in a good mood like he gets every time they got a bomb call. Sam and Jules were doing their normal banter back and forth on the way over. Jules was giving Sam a hard time over setting off the alarm at one am and waking their neighbors. Sam was blaming Spike for changing some setting and Spike started in with them. Ed and Raf were in the truck with him and they were all laughing at the easy camaraderie between the three of them.

He called out again "Status. Eddie. Spike. Sam. Jules. Raf. Respond!" Greg could only watch as the fire trucks and EMS pulled up and the firemen set to work. He saw the Captain of the fire crew heading his way.

God he hated dealing with bombs more than any other type of situation. You couldn't talk to bombs and get them to calm down. Bombs killed indiscriminately. "Guys, please respond" Greg begged with an emotion filled voice.

Captain Monroe reached him and asked "What's the situation. Anyone on the trawler?"

Greg pulled himself together and explained then said "My team is on the trawler." He showed the captain the drawing of the ship and pointed out where the bomb was located and the last known positions of each team member.

Pointing to the sketch Monroe asked "Can I take this?" Greg nodded yes. The Captain noticed the ear piece and then added "Have you heard from any of them."

Greg rubbed his hands briskly over his face and head then replied "No not yet."

Monroe put a hand on his shoulder "My guys will find them."

Greg just nodded not trusting his voice at this moment. He pushed away negative thoughts of he would find them but would he find them alive. Ed and Raf were furthest from the bomb. Maybe their comms were just knocked out or they were knocked out. He had heard Spike's boots on stairs. Did he make it out?

Sam and Jules he worried about most. They were in the compartment just below where the bomb was located. They had nowhere to go. If they had made it to the processing room they would have been right next to the room where the bomb was. That would be dangerous and most likely deadly.

Greg crouched down again and whispered "Guys don't do this to me. Someone answer please. Please."
