AN: Thanks so much for the reviews. Keep them coming :) Just got off a double shift, but wanted to give you guys at least a little something. Next chapter with be longer no worries :D

Rick grabbed Alexis and puller her into his chest with the gunman threw her back at him. Alexis clung to him sobbing hysterically. "It's going to be okay Alexis. Daddy's got you now. Just be a good girl and keep you eyes closed for Daddy." Rick could feel Alexis nod her head against his neck. He heard the officers outside yell at the gunman to surrender. He heard the gunman refuse and demand to be allowed to leave. Rick flinched as he watched the gunman dig his gun into the female officer's back. He didn't know how he could ever repay her. He sent out a silent prayer that she would be okay. He gasped when he watched her elbow the gunman in the gut. His heart froze when his brain registered the second gunshot. He thought he was going to be sick when he heard the first cop to reach the pair yell, "Officer Down."

He barely remembers the events that followed that. He remembers asking if she was okay to the first officer who approached him. He remembers agreeing to go to the station to give an official statement. And now he was sitting in a break room at the 12th Precinct waiting for his mother to arrive. He had given his statement to police. He had told them that their officer had saved Alexis's life. He had asked them how she was doing. They told him she was in surgery and that was all they knew. They also told him her name. Kate. Officer Kate Beckett. They told him he could stick around if he wanted to find out about Officer Beckett. He asked Alexis is she wanted to go home, but she insisted on staying. She wanted to make sure her hero was going to be fine.
