Past Vs Present
Chapter 9: SIU Interview/Hospital
"Clothes and shoes off Scarlatti. Put these on when you are done." Stainton told Spike leaving the room.
A few minutes later another SIU agent, Blair Kowalski, came in, "Scarlatti have a seat. Are there any phone calls you wish to make before we get started?" This man had a job to do, but understood this was his first kill shot. Spike was always in the truck, backing Greg up, or dealing with bombs. He never had to take a shot before.
"No sir." Spike simply answered.
"Let's begin then. Tell me what happened Constable. From the beginning."
Spike retold the story of what had happened that day, "Sam had called me on his way back from town telling me he couldn't get ahold of Jules. He asked me to check on her."
"Why would Sam be calling Jules on his day off?" Kowalski asked.
'Oh Shit.' Spike thought, 'I could have said it different. How different though, that's what happened.' Ignoring his question Spike continued, "After I couldn't get though I went to her house. I saw that the door was kicked in. I called it in right away and when the rest of the team, minus Sam, got there we began to investigate."
"You didn't answer my question Constable. Why was Sam calling Jules on her day off?"
"No offense sir, but people can call other people on their days off. Maybe he wanted to see if she wanted to meet up and have brunch when he got back."
"And it says here that you guys think she had been gone for two days. Is that right?" Spike nodded at his question, "Yeah."
"How did no one know a person from their own team was gone. You guys do not have no contact with each other outside of work? In the transcripts it says you were at the Goose and tried to call her."
"If you have the transcript, then why am I here?" Spike asked, "I need to go check on my TEAMMATE." Spike told him.
"We are not done here. Now, Why didn't no one notice before?"
"We tried calling her when we were at the Goose but she didn't answer. We just figured she went with...we just figured she was busy. We didn't think nothing of it. No one answers their phone every time it rings sir."
"What happened next?"
"Why are you asking?" Spike asked. He knew they had the transcripts and never had to go though this before. He wanted NO he NEEDED to check on Jules.
"I know this is your first time Spike, but we need to question the state of mind of the one who took the kill shot. Now please, continue with what happened next."
Spike went on to explain what their next actions was, leaving out some of the conversations that were not important. He told him of how they got an address and went to check it out, only to have a bomb inside. He then went on and told them of going back to HQ and then finale it came down to it.
"Now I see here on the transcript Constable Braddock came into the briefing room with his idea of tracking down Jules from a GPS device that was in a necklace he gave her..." Kowalski let the sentence trail off.
"Yes, I tracked down the signal and off we went." Spike told him.
"Now, it all appears here that they are involved. Is that true? Two team mates can not be involved with each other. That's the rules."
"It's not my place to say. Hell, he could have given her a necklace for her birthday. I believe there are no rules against teammates given other teammates birthday presents. Can we get on with the story now?"
"Sure, but there will be further investigation of this 'relationship'."
Spike nodded, "Anything else sir? I have a teammate to check on."
Kowalski just ignored him, "So Sam was the one that found her down in the basement?"
"Yes." Spike simply said.
"And he called you to bring the equipment."
"Yes."
"That's when you guys had to hide, while the subjects son went down stairs."
"Yes we also had seen she was already injured. She told us she thought her arm was broke and she had hurt her ankle. She couldn't walk. The window was not big enough for any of us to go though. Our only option was to get her to the window and lift her up. He came down there looked around and went back up stairs. Sam and I went back to try to get Jules out. She made it to the window."
"And that's when the subject came down?"
"Yes. Sam had the ropes in his hand and we got the OK for Scorpio. I had to take the gun so Sam didn't have to let go of the equipment."
"And you are sure that all other options were exhausted?"
"Yes. He came down there pointing a gun at Jules. At an office of the law. His intent was to kill. He pulled the trigger back and I got a CLEAR call for Scorpio. I took the shot and the subject was neutralized. We then got Jules to safety and this subject's son went down the stairs and the rest of the team was able to detain him."
"Thank you Constable Scarlatti. I know this has not been easy for you. I'm sorry you had to be the one to take the shot. This was your first right?"
"Yes sir."
"You will be cleared. Thank you for your time and I hope Constable Julianna will be ok."
"It's Jules. Thank you sir." Spike said standing up walking to the door he walked out.

"Family of Jules Callaghan?" The doctor walked in.
Sam, Greg, Wordy, and Lou all stood up, "That's us." Greg said. They were still dressed in their uniforms. Greg decided coming to the hospital was more important then the debriefing. They could do that later. Now they just had to find out how Jules was and how Spike was doing when he got cleared. They knew he would be and Greg hoped SIU was not given him a hard time. The team sat back down with the doctor.
"I'm Dr. Cunningham. We have her arm set and in a cast. She will have to wear it for a few weeks. Her ankle has a fracture but that too will heal in a couple of weeks. She will have to stay off of it for awhile and go though therapy. Everything else is just bumps and bruises."
"Has she woken up yet?" Sam asked the doctor.
"No. Not yet. We have run more tests and it appears she hit her head at some point. We will not know the extent of her head injury until she wakes up." The doctor stood back up, "I'll take you to see her now. But please, two at a time."
Sam and Greg both stood up, the others knew they would be the first ones in.

"Spike, are you ok?" Ed asked as Spike was coming out of the room.
"Huh? Yeah. I'm Ok. All those questions. 'Was it necessary to use lethal force?' 'Where all other options exhausted?' That man had a gun on an officer for crying out loud."
"I know Spike. You did good. Did they clear you?"
"Yeah. They did. Hey, how IS Jules doing?"
"I do not know. No word yet. You ready to head over to the hospital?"
"Yes. Let's go."

Greg and Sam followed the doctor to Jules room, "Stay for as long as you want, but please remember just two visitors at a time." He reminded them.
"Thanks doctor." Greg said as Sam was walking over to Jules laying on the bed.
"Jules." Sam grabbed her hand that did not have the IV in it being careful of the cast.
Greg walked over to the other side of the bed putting his hand on her head and rubbing her hair, "I'm so sorry Jules." He said. After standing there for a few minutes Greg turned to Sam, "You know the other will want to see her for themselves. Once they come in and see her, I will make everyone leave until tomorrow."
"Thanks boss." Sam said sitting down on the chair, "You know I'm not going to go no where though right?" Sam wanted to make it clear that he would leave her again.
"I know Sam, once everyone leaves I will be back in here also."
Sam nodded at Greg and Greg turned around and went to get the next visitor.

Ed and Spike walked into the waiting room they were directed in. Wordy filled them in on what they knew about Jules, "And how are you doing Spike?" Wordy asked in concern.
"I'm OK. I did what I had to do. I'll be OK." Spike told him. He had yet to deal with the sleepless nights that were soon to follow. Wordy planned on taking him out later and letting the young boy know what to expect. He knew Greg would be staying here and would help him out with Spike.
Greg walked back into the room. "Ok, one at a time go visit Jules, she is still not awake, but see for your self that she is doing good right now. After you visit her, come back in here so the next person can go in and then head home. We will debrief tomorrow. If there are any changes me or Sam will call. Ed, you go first."
"Copy that." Ed headed down to Jules room after Greg told him which one it was.
"Hey Sam, how is she doing?" Ed asked coming in the room.
"She hasn't woken up yet. She passed out in the ambulance on the way over here and still has not woken up." Sam told him.
Ed walked over closer to Jules and patted her hand, "She will wake it. She's been though a lot. Got to give her body a chance to heal."
"I know." Sam said, "I just wish I hadn't left." Sam was still feeling guilty.
"It's not your fault Sam!" Ed told him, "Enrico would have gotten her one way or another. Weather you were there or not."
Sam just nodded, "If I was there, he would not have gotten her." Sam was sure of it.
Ed walked over and patted Sam's back. "It's time for the next person to come in Sam. If you need anything, please call me."
"Yes sir." Sam said turning his attention back to Jules.

After everyone came in to see Jules Greg came back in, "Ok Sam. Everyone went home for the night. Is there anything that you need right now?" Greg asked.
"No."
"OK." Greg said while bringing the other chair closer to the bed. Sam was sitting on one by the bed also.

Two hours later Sam was still sitting in the chair holding Jules hand with his head on the bed. He had fallen asleep. Greg was in the other chair snoring. They were exhausted.
Jules moaned moving her hands. Sam didn't have a 'hard' grip on it so she was able to move it. Sam and Greg were still passed out. Jules started moving her head back and forth, back and forth. "No stop. Please. Don't hurt them." Jules was tossing and turning. "NO! Don't hurt them!" She almost screamed. Greg and Sam both sat up straight looking at Jules. They looked at each other, "Nightmare." They said at the same time.
"Jules?" Sam asked almost reaching for her hand.
"NO! Please leave them alone. It's me you want. Leave Greg and Sam ALONE!"
"Jules, hunny. Me and Sam are right here. Jules were ok. Wake up Jules. Come on wake up." Greg tried to coax her out of her nightmare.
Jules kept on tossing and turning. Kicking her legs and waving her hands around. "I said leave them alone." Jules had tears running down her face.
Sam just looked at Greg, "What should we do?" He asked him. He didn't know how to get her out of it.
"Just keep talking to her. She'll come out of it." Greg told him. He had seen Jules have nightmares in the past. None of them seem to have been this bad though.
"Jules, come on sweetheart. Wake up. Jules come on. JULES!" Sam said the last a little louder hoping she would wake up.
Jules bolted up in a sitting position with her hands out in front of her breathing hard looking around.
"Jules it's ok we are right here." Greg said coming closer to her again.
"Greg? Sam?" She said looking between the two of them.
"It's ok Jules, lay back down." Sam said reaching for her hand. "Wanna talk about it?" He asked.
"No." Jules said shaking her head.
"Are you hurting do you need any meds?" Sam asked.
"I'll go let the doctor know that you are awake." Greg said. He didn't want to leave but also knew the doctor would have to see her.
Jules started to shake her head but the look Sam gave her she thought about telling the truth, "Yes it hurts." She said looking down.
"It's ok Jules. Don't be afraid to ask for meds. What hurts?" Sam asked.
"My head, arm, ankle...I think a better question would have been what don't hurt." She said. "Everything is still fuzzy Sam. What happened?"
"What do you remember?" He didn't know where she wanted him to start. Just who took the kill shot or at the very beginning or what.
"Well Jules, glad to see that you are awake." Dr. Cunningham said walking into the room followed by Greg.
Jules just looked at him and gave a small smile.
"I'll need a few minutes alone with her to evaluate her."
"No. Don't leave." Jules said reaching for Sam's hand. Sam looked at the Dr. "I'm not leaving her Sir."
The Doctor nodded and went on evaluating her. "Follow the light with your eyes."
After completing a few more test the Doctor told them, "Well, it looks like you will recover fine. Your arm and ankle will take some time to heal but your head looks good. I will release you tomorrow as long as there are no more complications."
"Thanks Doctor." Greg shook his hand before he left Jules's room, "I'll call the team and let them know your ok." Greg told them leaving the room once again.
"Ok. What do you remember Jules?" Sam asked her again.
"I. I don't know. I remember being at home after you left. Someone came to the house and I remember seeing him before. Before I know what happened he was inside the house. It was Enrico Dillon. I remember fighting him but he hit me and took me. I. I woke up in a basement. I remember him coming back and feeding me. I remember hurting him and trying to escape. His son found me. Broke my arm and put me back in the basement. Um. I remember him hitting me to I think. I think I fell asleep and was dreaming you were at the window. I don't really know anything else until now. What happened?" Jules asked.
Sam was helping her fill in the blanks, by now he had scooted on the bed being careful of her injuries. "I'll help you fill in the blanks and give you more information, but you need your rest to. But I will tell you Spike had to take the Scorpio shot. Your..Enrico is dead Jules. His son Tyler was arrested."
"Spike?" Jules asked. "Oh no. He's never...That was his first...How is he doing? I need to call him." Jules said trying to sit up.
"No Jules. He's ok. You can talk to him in the morning.
"I got your meds." A nurse said coming in to give her a shot in the IV. "This will make you sleepy but you need your rest." She smiled at Jules. "We can take the IV out in the morning. You should be just fine." The nurse smile once again and walked out.
"Ok. I called the rest of the team. I was able to keep them at bay, but they will be here tomorrow. If you get out before they get here you know they will check on you at home." Greg said coming back in.
Jules nodded trying to keep her eyes open.
"I'll...I guess...I'll go so you can get some rest." Greg said.
"No. Stay. Please?" Jules asked as she feel asleep. Greg looked over at Sam, "You can stay if you want Greg, your her family." Sam said as he closed his eyes.
Greg smiled and sat back down on the chair. He didn't really want to leave Jules. He had to make sure she would be ok. Besides after getting off the phone with the team he got a disturbing phone call. He didn't want to leave Jules alone. He didn't have time to tell her the news since she fell asleep. He guessed he would have to break it to them in the morning when she woke up and they could deal with it then.
