N is for…Not Completely Over
Sara felt Greg leap at Kraus, pushing him away from her and rolling both of them to the floor. She turned just in time to see Kraus stand up and point his gun at Greg.
"Greg!" She called out, but it was too late. Without any hesitation, Kraus fired his gun three times, each bullet penetrating Greg's chest and leaving him a bloody mess on the floor. "Greg!"
Sara sat up in bed in a cold sweat, her hands shaking as they held the sheets that were stuck to her body. It was just a nightmare right? She'd just call up Greg and he'd grumble in annoyance that she woke him up.
"Just go back to sleep Sara," she told herself as she settled back into her bed.

Okay one phone call wouldn't hurt. She sat up again and picked up the phone, dialing Greg's home phone number. Ringing…ringing…
"Hello, you've reached Greg Sanders…" Damn, answering machine. She knew he was home though. Griss had given them 2 days after being held hostage. She'd try him again, maybe he was just asleep.
"Hello, you've reached Greg Sanders…" Okay, now Sara was getting nervous. The nightmare she had was feeling more like a reality than ever.
Nervous, anxious, and not thinking too clearly, Sara got out of bed, threw on the first piece of clothing she could find and ran out the door.
Greg had fallen asleep watching TV on his couch. But he was suddenly shaken awake with the sound of someone banging on his front door.
"I'm coming I'm coming," Greg yelled, tripping over the couch and wiping sleep out of his eyes as he opened the door. "Sara?"
Sara jumped over the threshold and wrapped her arms around Greg, burying her head into his shoulder. He could tell she was hysterical. "Sara, babe, what's wrong?" she was shaking now. "Come on, come inside," He pulled her along and shut the door before sitting her on the couch.
"I…I dreamed…had…had a nightmare…" she tried to tell him. "Had to see… if you were alright," Greg understood and wrapped his arms around Sara.
"It's okay Sara," Greg whispered into her ear. "It's just aftershocks, you're okay." He rocked her back and forth, holding her in his arms and whispering in her ear.
They fell asleep embracing one another. Knowing fully that when it came to their jobs, nothing was ever completely over.
Eh, I'll call this a filler chapter. I knew what I wanted to do with O and P, but not N.
Just to let you know, after this chapter will be a tiny little time jump.
