Spike woke up the next morning thinking about last night's events, he knew he shouldn't have kissed Elizabeth but she was so enticing to him, he wanted too. He was dreading how this was going to go he had to put an end to it all, he knew Greg would hit the roof if anything ever happened, he wouldn't even want him to find out about the few kisses they've shared, Greg was an easy going person until his daughter becomes involved and for one of his team mates to start dating his daughter, it's just not something that should happen.
Spike rolled out bed and grabbed his duffle bag to head to work, as he walked through SRU doors he nodded a hello towards Winnie and headed straight into the locker room. He started getting dressed, he assumed the rest of the team were in the gym, or on their way because the locker room was empty, until he heard the door go.
"So…" An excited female's voice said as Jules came round the corner.
Spike rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Don't Jules." Spike said, he didn't want to go there with Jules, not today, not tomorrow or ever actually.
"Oh come on, you mean to tell you walked her home and nothing happened?" Jules questioned.
"Exactly that, nothing happened." Spike countered.
"Really?" Jules questioned.
"You do realise who she is right? Greg's daughter, my boss's daughter." Spike said closing his locker.
"So?" Jules said.
"So no, he would kill me." Spike said.
"Yeah but if you like each other…" Jules replied.
"We don't, we're friends, I don't get why it has to be turned into something it's not" Spike said leaving the locker room.
Spike walked into the gym and put his headphones in as he went to work on the punch bag, he started thinking about his conversation with Jules, yes he had lied but he didn't really think it had much to do with Jules and he really didn't want it getting out, he trusted Jules with his life but it was just too risky.
"TEAM 1 HOT CALL"
Just like that they were on the road heading towards a bomb call, it was inside a school and it was down to Spike to defuse it.
It took ten minutes for Spike to defuse the bomb it had been placed in the head teachers office, it was a simple job as the bomber had labelled all the connections which was backed up when Sam had found the plans for it, which confused him that's not usually how bombers work. He was just rounding the corner towards the schools main doors as he passed the people who went to collect and diffuse of the bomb, just as he was about to reach the doors there was another explosion, it was placed in a bin in one of the classrooms Spike had been passing.
"Spike!" Greg shouted.
"Spike!" Ed echoed Greg.
All the team were standing watching parts of the building collapse all with deep concern knowing that somewhere in that building Spike was under some rubble and he wasn't answering the team.
"Winne we need EMS here now!" Greg was shouting at Winnie, it wasn't an angry shout but she knew he meant now and not a minute later.
The fire fighters that were on standby were all rushing around, trying to get the fire out, as soon as they could get the fire out they could start moving rubble, Greg was watching with a panicked look on his face, he was hoping it was all a joke and that Spike would come walking up to him in a minute asking what they're all looking at.
It took 20 minutes for the fire fighters to get the fire out and they started moving the rubble straight away, Greg gave them a rough area of where they think Spike might have been, and told them there were two bomb disposal guys in the building too.
The fire fighters entered the door and that was it Greg was back to watching in anticipation of finding out where his guys was, there was an area where everyone had be evacuated he could hear the gasps and crying from the scared children but it wasn't a shadow on what he was feeling. Ed came up behind Greg.
"They'll get him boss, you got to trust them." Ed said placing his hand on Greg shoulder and patting it.
"Dead or alive Ed?" Greg snapped, the team knew Greg and that he snaps when he's nervous.
"Greg don't go there." Ed said
Greg huffed as he crouched down and placed his face in his hands, he felt sick, he wasn't sure if Spike was dead or alive, and he didn't like this waiting game, they kept calling after him but there was silence coming from this headset still, Ed knew to walk away and give him time.
Greg looked up to see EMS running towards the door with a stretcher, he stood watching to see who would come back out but once they entered they were still in for 10 minutes, his eyes didn't shift from the door until Greg turned around and looked at him team.
Jules and Sam were standing close together, sharing worried glances and Ed was pacing around cursing under his breath, Raf was standing just little bit behind the boss they caught eye contact, Raf gave the boss a weak smile, that's all he could do because there was nothing to smile about until they knew their guy was safe.
"Who is on the stretcher?" Ed said pacing forward towards Greg.
Greg caught what Ed said and turned round just as Ed came up by his side, there was a guy being pulled out on stretcher with an oxygen mask, whoever it was wasn't moving, wasn't screaming out in pain, they just lay still, the medic stopped by the ambulance to put the stretcher in ambulance as he checked the males pulse again.
"Greg, that's Spike" Ed said in a panicked voice to Greg.
