A/N: Hey guys, I am so sorry about the really long delay but it's been a tough month for me. But never fear I am back! As always thank you to everyone who has put up with me and my crazy ideas and for everyone that has reviewed. If you haven't reviewed yet I would love to hear from you. Please enjoy.
"Are you sure?" Christian hissed into his phone as he looked down the street to where Dani was throwing stuff into the passenger seat of her car. She had no idea what was about to unfold in front of her in less than twenty-four hours. As she got into her car he noticed something that was out of place. "Mark, we may have a problem."
Dani shifted gears for what seemed to be the hundredth time in less than ten minutes. It was the day after a big blizzard, and the roads were terrible. She looked down to see that she was only going twenty miles an hour. At this rate I will never make it to work. She thought to herself as she grabbed her phone. It had been acting strange lately and she was hoping that Spike could take a look at it for her later on today. It was only last week that they grabbed a coffee, and in that time they learned that they had so much in common. She dialed Greg's number but after the fifth ring she frowned knowing he wasn't going to answer. So she dialed the front desk at the SRU, knowing that Greg would have to answer then.
"SRU." Winnie answered.
"Hey Winnie, its Dani, can I talk to Boss?" She said as she put her blue tooth in her ear, wanting to keep both hands on the steering wheel.
"Of course, is he not answering his phone?" she laughed as she waved Greg over.
"Hey Dani, where are you?"
"I am on the interstate; I am going to be a few minutes the roads are really nasty."
"Sounds good, let me know when you get here."
Twenty minutes later Dani walked into the SRU with only minutes to spare. As she walked by Winnie, she mentioned, "Sorry Winnie, I didn't stop by Timmy's. The roads are atrocious!"
Winnie laughed, "No problem, maybe we can grab something after we get of shift."
"We'll see. I have to go." She said as she dashed towards the locker room. She had exactly two minutes before she would officially be late. Being that she was new to this, this was the last thing she wanted.
Within a minute later she was making her way towards the briefing room. On days like this she was glad that she was a fast dresser. She stopped short when she saw that both Ed and Greg were standing outside the door talking to Commander Holleran. Ed nodded his head in Dani's direction making the others look in her direction. Something wasn't right, Dani could tell.
"Hey sorry I am late." She groaned. "My car is acting up again and the roads are horrible!"
There was an awkward silence between the four as Greg looked to Ed.
"Well get back to work now. I just wanted to inform about the situation." Holleran eyed Greg warningly as he turned on his heals and walked away.
"What's going on?" Dani asked curiously.
Greg looked overly tired and Ed rubbed his head as both sighed at the same time. "We'll talk about it later."
They walked into the briefing room and were met with curious eyes by everyone inside.
Twenty Minutes Later…
"Boss, when are you going to tell her?" Ed eyed Greg from the drivers seat.
"I don't know Eddie."
"Boss you have to tell her."
"I know, I will probably tell her after shift tonight so that way it doesn't cause any conflicts."
"She's going to be upset."
"Who wouldn't be? I mean if your training officer died would you not be upset?"
"How did you know that he trained her?"
"I met him a couple times when he was training her down at the fifth. He was a nice guy."
"He probably had to be, along with being patient." Ed smirked.
"He really cared about her. He treated her as if she was one of his kids."
"Did they stay in contact?"
"I don't know Eddie." Greg rubbed his temples as he looked out the side window.
The team had decided that they were going to patrol for a while since there wasn't much of anything else to do. It had been a very long week for team one, hot calls every other day ending hours after beginning. Not to mention pushing everyone to their limits.
Meanwhile…
Dani and Wordy drove down the west side of Toronto; the roads had improved very little. Wordy noticed something suspicious happening on the right side of the road. while he pulled over, Dani reported it to Greg who gave them the go ahead.
One the sidewalk a man was screaming at a lady who was holding an infant baby in her arms. She had a terrified look in her eyes that only worsened when she saw Wordy and Dani.
"Is there a problem here?" Wordy asked as he got out of the driver's side.
"No problem, Officer…" the man looked at Wordy's nameplate, "Wordsworth." He offered them a fake smile.
"Wordy?" Dani whispered as she looked cautiously at the man, who now had a gun very visible from his waistband.
"Sir, we can help you out if you need something." Wordy tried again as he saw what Dani was worried about.
"I SAID GO AWAY!" the man screeched as he pulled out his gun and pointed it at the woman. Instantly both Dani and Wordy raised their guns and pointed them at the man.
"Boss we have a problem." Dani whispered as Wordy began to negotiate the subject.
"Copy that, what's your location?" Greg asked as he looked to Ed who flipped the lights on.
After Dani gave the location, she turned back to what Wordy was doing.
"Can you tell me your name sir?"
"Christian."
A/N: CLIFF HANGER! Thank you so much for reading. This was a hard chapter for me because I didn't know where I wanted this to go. I know this was a very long delay but I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. So please, please, PLEASE leave a review for me so I can see what you all think. More to come soon!
