Four months while John was at work Ben decided to go out. A couple hours later he came back. He was looking for his keys when he saw a couple guys walking toward him. He started to panic. He quickly pulled out his keys and opened the door. Closing it behind him he pulled out his phone and called John.
John was driving with yet another new rookie when his phone rang. He pulled it out and smiled, putting it to his ear he's still smiling. "Hey you"
"John can you come home"
John heard the fear in Ben's voice "What is it, Are you ok?"
"No I need you now"
"Ok I'm coming" John then heard banging "What is that?"
"Oh my god, there trying to come in"
John turns the car around and headed to the house "Who is, Ben what's going on?"
"Some guys followed me home"
"How, I thought I told you not to leave the house without me"
"I'm sorry, I'm scared"
John sighs "Don't be I'm right around the corner ok" The phone went silent "Ben" John heard a crash then a gun go off. "Ben goddamn it answer me"
At the house
John pulled into his driveway and sees that the front door is kicked in. he grabs his gun and he and his rookie go inside. The house saw trashed. John looked back at his rookie. "Look around upstairs, I'm going to look down here. Call me if you find anything."
"Go it" He goes upstairs
John walks around downstairs and doesn't find anything. He call his partner on his walkie talkie "Hey you found anything"
"I think you should come upstairs"
John runs upstairs and into the guest room. He saw a lifeless body on the ground and Ben sitting in front of him with a gun in his hand, covered in blood, shaking and staring into nowhere. He looks at his partner. "Hey call it in"
"Ok" He walks out the room.
John puts his gun away and started to grab for the gun in Ben's hand but Ben jumps and points it at him. "Whoa it's me" John puts both hands on Ben's face "It's ok"
Ben stares blankly at John "John"
"I got you, its ok now" John takes the gun from Ben. "Can you walk?"
"Yeah"
"Come on"
At the hospital
Ben was lying on the bed when John walked in. He sits next to his bed and grabs his hand. "How are you doing?"
Ben looks at John "I'm so sorry John."
"Don't be its ok"
"You're not mad"
"No you've been cooped in the house for weeks. I understand why you needed to get out but now you see why I don't like you to go out alone."
"Yeah"
"But I don't even care about all that I'm just glad you're ok"
"What about the others"
"How many more were there"
"Like two or three"
"Well deal with them later but for now let's focus on you."
"They took the weeding ring you gave me"
John looks down "Don't worry about it, I'll take of everything. You just rest."
