Author's Note: Hey guys!! I changed the summary because I decided I wanted the story to be longer than just one hot call. I think you guys will love where this is going. (Chapter 1 is still exactly the same.) I promise there will be more Sam whump later on... I couldn't do too much to him this early on lol.

Please review and let me know what you think so far! Thanks to those who have reviewed already!

Disclaimer: I do not own Flashpoint or its characters... if I did there would be wayyy more Sam Whump in the show lol

Well let's get to it!

Chapter 2:

Greg silently cursed and called the phone number again. This time it went straight to voicemail. "Alright team, subject is not answering the phone calls. We're going to have to come up with an entry plan." Greg walks back into the command truck with Spike, while Wordy, Jules and Leah meet up with Ed and Sam, both now at the back east corner of the house, so they can see both exits while they are coming up with a plan.

Ed begins, "Alright, Sam, I want you to keep covering the back exit, and when we're about to enter, you get ready to enter too, we're going to come from both sides. Leah, you cover the east garage exit. Wordy, you're on hard entry. The living room is at the front of the house, so I want Jules with me and Wordy, we need more people up front with us since that's where the subject is. Sam, can you cover the back alone?" Sam gave him a quick and confident nod. "We're going to go when the subject is away from the hostages and catch him off guard. Spike, be watching the video from the snake cam and let me know if anything changes while we get into position."

"Copy that," Spike replies. Just as they're about to enter, Spike's concerned voice fills their headsets, "Wait guys! The subject just took both of the kids out of the room! I can't see where they went or anything. The mother is in the same position in the living room."

"Copy that, Spike," Ed said, "Team, watch the windows for any movement. Let's try and find out where this guy is, and where the kids are before we go in."

Sam scans the windows on his side of the house and sees nothing, when Jules' voice comes over the comms, "I see movement upstairs window on the far west side of the house."

"I'm going to check the west side of the house to see if I see anything." Sam says.

Ed replies, "Copy that, go easy Sam. Wordy is going to do the same from the front. Leah, Jules is coming to cover you."

"Copy that."

Sam walks to the corner of the house so he can scan those windows to see if he sees movement in the room Jules saw it in. As he rounds the corner he spots Wordy. They both stand close to the corners of the house while slowly scanning the windows trying to see any movement at all.

Just then they hear Jules and Leah yelling over the comms, "Police! SRU! Let me see your hands!" Sam and Wordy start running for the east side of the house.

Almost immediately after Sam turns the corner to run towards Jules and Leah, the back door bursts open and the subject runs out, holding a little girl tightly to his chest with one arm, and holding a gun in the other hand.

The subject starts running in the opposite direction of Sam, and Sam starts sprinting to catch up with him. Sam can't make any moves to take down the subject because anything he does could cause harm to the little girl, who Sam was guessing was Emma. He says in the comms, "In pursuit of the subject, headed east, away from the house. He's got the girl with him!"

"Copy that, stay on him Sam, Wordy is in pursuit behind you."

Sam is trying to think of anything he can do to stop the subject, as he is racking his brain for ideas, his right foot lands in a hole, rolling his ankle, and he hits the ground hard.

The team hears a grunt of pain through the headsets and Ed calls out, "Sam, status?"

Wordy runs up beside him and comes to a stop next to Sam. Sam regains his composure as he says, "Wordy keep going, we have to get the girl."

He gets up to continue the chase and nearly falls again, as his ankle is throbbing and almost gives out on him, but he will not allow the subject to get away with the girl.

"I'm okay, just tripped, continuing pursuit." Sam has to run faster in order to gain some ground back on the subject, and now Wordy who is in pursuit, and he hears Ed call back, "Copy, I'm coming around the front of some houses, going to try and cut him off."

"We've passed about 4 houses, coming up on a yellow one."

"Copy, I'm right about where you guys are. Going between the yellow and gray houses."

Sam sees Ed sprint out in front of their subject, gun raised as he shouts "Police! SRU! Stop right there!"

The subject, skids to a stop and raises his gun, "I will not let you take my little girl away from me. She is the only thing I have left and the only one left who loves me. Everyone I love gets taken away from me!" The subject, Joseph's cheeks are tear stained from the silent tears that are now rolling down his cheeks.

Ed spoke up, "Joseph, we know about your job, debt, and your wife filing for divorce. We want everyone to go home safe today, and if you fire that gun we have no choice but to shoot you. Your little girl might get hurt. You don't want that."

"If I can't have her then nothing matters! She's my baby! I can't lose my baby again."

Again? Ed thought. "What do you mean 'again', Joseph?"

"You wouldn't understand. I just can't lose her." Silent sobs racked Joseph's body, his gun still raised towards Ed. Sam and Wordy had circled around so they were a few feet away from Ed on either side.

Spike's voice filled their headsets again, "Guys, I've got something else. When Joseph was 10 he was babysitting his 4 year old sister, Lizzy. They were playing hide and seek and he was looking for her. He walked into the backyard and found her floating in the swimming pool. They couldn't revive her. His parents blamed him and sent him to live with his aunt, and they haven't had any contact with him since."

Sam, Ed, and Wordy glanced at each other. Ed and Wordy noticed a pained look on Sam's face and gave him a questioning look.

He spoke up, "Joseph, we know about Lizzy."

At the mention of her name Joseph's head, and hand holding the gun, jerked towards Sam. "My parents blamed me. I killed my sister. If I can't have my daughter, I won't have anything. I can't lose her too! There's no way you can understand!"

"I do understand, Joseph." Greg's voice filled his ear, "Sam rule number one... never lie to a subject."

Sam spoke quietly, "Sarge, I'm not lying." Ed and Wordy glanced at each other concerned as Sam continued, "Joseph, when I was 9, my 4 year old sister Sarah wanted to go to the park. I promised her I would, so off we went. We were waiting for the crosswalk to tell us to walk, and I went to press the button, I heard screeching tires and looked back at Sarah and she wasn't there anymore. A drunk driver had driven up on the curb and hit her. She was killed instantly. The impact was so hard, her sandals were left on the sidewalk while her body was flung into the street. I was her big brother, I was supposed to protect her. My dad blamed me too, and he hasn't forgiven me to this day."

Sam's eyes were wet with tears. "Joseph, you don't want to risk Emma getting hurt. Your job is to protect her. Let her go and put the gun down. Nobody has to get hurt."

Joseph released Emma and dropped to his knees, sobs racking his body. Ed stepped up and handcuffed Joseph, "Subject contained." The rest of the team was stunned silent from Sam's story, tears filling most of their eyes.

Emma ran to Sam, and he picked her up and held her tight. She cried into his shoulder, "I want my mommy."

"Shhh it's okay Emma. I will take you back to your mommy, right now. Everything is okay now." Sam quietly cooed. Wordy walked over to Sam and put his arm around Sam's shoulder to lead him back to Emma's house. Sam's ankle was still throbbing, but nothing was going to make him put this little girl down until she was safely in her mother's arms. They made it back to the house and the girl's mother, Linda was in the front yard talking to Greg and Jules, her son, Andrew, huddled close to her legs.

Emma lifted her head off of Sam's shoulder and saw her mom. She wriggled in Sam's arms, so he put her down and she yelled "MOMMY" and raced towards her mom. Her mom grabbed her in the biggest hug, and then put her down so her brother could see her, and walked over to Sam.

"Thank you for saving my baby. You're our hero." With tears in her eyes she wrapped her arms around Sam. When she released him Sam gave her a smile and said, "Anytime. Just doing my job."

Linda picked up her daughter and then walked away with Emma wrapped tightly in one arm, and other arm draped around Andrew's shoulder. The little girl smiled back at Sam and said, "Super hero!" Sam gave her a huge smile. Whatever awful feelings that were brought to the forefront of his mind by retelling the story of one of the worst days of his life, were just healed by a special little girl and two simple words. He turned and walked over to his team. They were all staring at him.

Spike spoke up first, "Samtastic! Great job today! If there's anything you want to talk about I'm always here."

"I know. Thanks Spike, but I'm good." He gave them a genuine smile, and they all knew in that moment, that he truly was "good".

They wrapped up the scene and handed it over to the unis. They were all going back to their SUVs when they heard Sam hiss in pain over the headsets. Ed looked over to Sam. "Sam? What's wrong?" The adrenaline was wearing off causing the dull pain in his foot to cause shooting pains through his ankle and foot every time he took a step.

"When I fell earlier I must've tweaked my ankle. Didn't realize until now, the adrenaline was keeping the pain at bay. I'm good."

Ed scowled at him, "Braddock, you better tell me the truth..." he was cut off by Winnie's voice in their headsets, "Team One, hot call! Bomb threat at the Ontario Science Center, multiple children in the building, two schools have classes there on field trips."

Sam looked at Ed, "Ed, I promise I'm okay. If it makes you feel better I'll wrap it before we get on scene." Ed relented because he was just as anxious to get to the call as Sam. Team One got into their SUVs and sped away.

Not as bad as a cliffhanger lol... this story is going to get soo much better! I have such a great plan in my head... now I just have to get it on paper :D

Please review! I would love to hear what you guys think of it so far, and if you have any requests on what you want to see happen, let me know and I'll see what I can do! Thanks!
