Sam's pov

"Team one we got a hot call", I hear Winnie say into the P.A system.

I smile and jog to the SRU van eager to have a distraction from my dark thoughts.

"Alright, what do have Winnie", I take over what boss usually says.

I hear Winnie hesitate before she says, "There is a middle aged woman name Alicia Adams who is having suicidal thoughts today. She was spotted on a highway bridge."

I chalk up Winnies hesitation to just her being surprised about having me ask her about the info on the subject when Sargent Parker normally does. I suppose that maybe I was a bit too excited for the distraction and decide to tone it down a little.

I hear the passenger side door opening, Jules climbs in quickly, looking surprised with the fact that I was already in the car, then shuts the door behind her. I give her a small shrug in return to her questioning look.

Spike and Winnie give us details on the woman Alicia. Jules tries to strike up a conversation but I'm too busy thinking about Spike. "He already suspects something is wrong with you, why don't you talk to him about it?", a voice in my head says. I start to slowly nod when another voice says "No! Come on toughen up Braddock, you are fine you don't need any help." The other kinder voice interrupts and says sweetly, "Sam don't listen to him you deserve a little leeway after all you have been through."

"Sam! Sam!", Jules voice jerks me back to the present " Let's go, we are here", she says urgently.

"Right, right, sorry", I say worried that the whole team had heard.

I quickly grab a harness for the negotiator to wear, when they are on the edge of the bridge. The role would be fulfilled by Jules since it is easier for a woman to connect to another woman.

While Jules is trying to get Alicia to realize what she is doing the rest of us stiffly stand listening intently to their conversation. At last I hear Alicia Adams admit that she really doesn't want to die. Everyone sighs with relief as she climbs down from the tall bridge. It is a difficult day for everyone especially the negotiator if they lose a life.

On the way back to the SRU everyone listens to Spike talk excitingly about the new upgrades he made to baby cakes.

After the one call it is a slow day, so the boss makes everybody after they've changed, head to the workout room.

I slowly walk towards the locker room hoping that the guys will have changed quickly, so that no one will see what my body looks like. Luckily it is empty when I arrive. I strip my SRU uniform and put on workout clothes quickly even though know that it is unlikely that anyone will come back.

I race to the workout room hoping to make up for the lost time, I get there in record time wishing that nobody will notice my absence. Of course I should expect more of my team considering they are the best in the city. I'm expecting some sort of reprimand but all I get is Ed teasing me about taking my sweet beauty time.

Jules and Leah are on the mats teaching each other new combat moves, Spike is speedily running on the treadmill while Ed and Greg are lifting weights. The only exercise left to do is the punching bag.

I wrap my hands before I take a few deep sniper breaths and step in front of the bag.

I start punching the bag with all my strength, the rest of the world drifting away from me. I feel my hands hitting the bag, all I can think is punch, war, punch, he's dead, punch, come on Sam hit it harder. In the distance I can faintly hear Parker tell me I should slow down. I keep going anyway trying to rid my brain of anything bad that has ever happened to me. I almost succeed but instead my vision turns to black.

A/N- I hope that you all liked it. I will reveal what is wrong with Sam in the next chapter or so. Also Spikes problems will be surfacing. Review !
