"Let her go!" Antonio growled at the guy that held Sylvie against him with a gun to her head.

How did she end up in this position? Oh yeah, when she and Gabby went for a call on the bad side of Chicago. They needed more supplies from the ambulance and Sylvie offered to go get them. Why did these junkies think they had drugs on them? Well technically they did, but Sylvie wasn't giving it away. She wasn't losing her job over these idiots.

When she refused to give up the drugs, the guy held a gun up to her. The next thing she knew, Antonio came onto the scene. Which puzzled her to no end. She was sure Gabby didn't know what happened, and he got here pretty fast even if Gabby called for help.

And what confused her further, Antonio's job wasn't this anymore. He could get in serious trouble if his boss found out about this. But then again, no one could talk Antonio out from saving her life. She, and others, learned that quite a few times already.

If she didn't have a gun pointed at her, she would tried anything to get away. Her eyes scanned over to Antonio's partner Nagel, which made Sylvie realized that this wasn't just a freak accident they were here, but they were questioning someone at this part of the town. It wouldn't have surprised her if they were driving by and Antonio saw this happening and quickly pulled over. She was gonna talk to him about this later.

"Make me." The guy threatened, and if Sylvie's life wasn't in danger, she would have laughed, knowing that this guy was signing a death wish.

"Look idiot, I'm not playing with you." Antonio said through clenched teeth. This was the last thing he wanted to deal with right now. "Let my girl go!" Usually Antonio kept his emotions in check, but with the day he had already, he was starting to lose control.

"Oh, this is your girlfriend, huh?" The guy asked, in a tone that made Antonio's skin crawled. "Would you mind sharing her for a few hours?" He asked, clearly trying to get a rise out of Antonio.

Antonio was thinking of a way to kick this guy's ass but also not put Sylvie's life in danger. His eyes locked with Sylvie's and she nodded her head.

Antonio took a deep breath as he walked closer to the guy and Sylvie. "You know, you have a big mouth for a guy that is aiming a gun at a woman. Why not aim your gun at a man? Or are you too scared for that?" He questioned, his turn to get a rise out of this man.

Luckily Antonio has been in this line of work for years, or else he wouldn't have been able to see what the guy was about to do. He took his hold off of Sylvie and she was able to get free, but he tried to shoot Antonio. But being good at his job, he was able to tackle the guy before he could shoot Antonio.

"Antonio!" Sylvie screamed out in fear. If she knew that was his plan, she wouldn't have did what she did. Honestly, if she was being truthful, he let her go because Antonio was getting to him.

She heard the gun go off, and she felt her heart stopped for a second. She felt like she was frozen in place but as a few seconds passed, she ran over to Antonio. Thank god she was trained for this.

"Antonio! Baby, are you okay?!" She asked as she pushed the guy off of him and she felt like she was about to freak out when she saw the blood on Antonio's jacket. "No no no." She kept saying over and over.

"Hey hey." Antonio said, trying to get her attention. "I'm fine. It wasn't me. I'm not shot."

She let out a deep breath of relief when she realized he was okay, he was alive. "Oh thank god." She said as she flung herself in his arms. Luckily things like this didn't happen often, and she never experienced Antonio getting shot. She wasn't sure if she would make it if she knew Antonio was hurt.

She felt like hours passed when she let go of Antonio but it was only a few minutes. She wanted to yell at him for doing what he did, but right now they had other important things to worry about. She turned to looked at Laura. "I'm sorry, I know this isn't something you wanted."

"No, it's okay. I saw my partner in a different way than I have ever seen him." She said as she cracked a smile. "Is there anything you guys need me to do?" She asked as she looked down at the guy.

"Actually, yes. If it isn't too much to ask for, can you go in the alley and get Gabby? She doesn't know anything that is going on. And um—hand her this." Sylvie said as she stood up and walked over to get the supplies that Gabby needed. She handed it to Laura.

"Sure, of course." She agreed, knowing that Sylvie and Antonio needed a moment to themselves for a few minutes anyway.

Sylvie walked over to the victim as she checked his pulse and realized he was dead. Couldn't say she felt bad because this was the guy that was just holding a gun on her.

"Why would you do that?" Sylvie questioned. "It was easily the most stupid thing you ever did in your life."

"Uh, you're welcome, Sylvie. For you know, saving your life." He attempted to joke with her, wanting to lighten the mood. He stood up as he sighed. "I know you want me to say sorry but I can't."

"Why can't you?" She questioned, angrily. "If I would have lost you—" She couldn't finish the words, she was starting to choke up.

"Because Sylvie, I can't!" He understood where she was coming from, but apologizing for saving her life wasn't something he would ever do. "I'll protect you no matter what… even if it kills me." He said, his voice full of emotion.

Sylvie bit down on her lip as she felt herself grow emotional. Just thinking of living in a world without Antonio Dawson made her want to break down and cry.

"Baby, no." He said as he walked over to her and he pulled her in his arms. "I'm okay, I'm alive."

She nodded her head against his chest as she breathed in his scent. Maybe they shouldn't have this moment in front of a person that Antonio killed, but she couldn't help herself.

A few minutes passed and she pulled away, wiping her eyes. "I love you." She said and for the first time since she had a gun pointed at her, she relaxed as she saw the smile appeared on his face.

"I love you too. Maybe this is the last time you get yourself in trouble?" He suggested. "You know, maybe next time you and Gabby stay together at all times."

"I know. I honestly wasn't thinking. We needed more supplies for the victim so that's all I was concerned about."

"Yeah well, your life matters more to me." He pointed out. "My place later?" he asked softly.

"You bet." She looked down at the victim. "Did you call someone—?" She questioned.

"Yeah, while you were getting Nagel the supplies. It'll probably take a little while. No one likes coming to this part of the town."

"I can see why." Before Antonio could respond, they heard Gabby's voice.

"Sylvie! Are you okay?" She asked as she ran over and gave her a hug. "I'm so sorry, I need to keep a better eye on you while we're on runs."

"No, it's okay. My hero saved me. But it came at a cost." She said, glancing down at the victim.

"Well, he shouldn't try to hurt a paramedic." She reasoned with Sylvie, trying to make her feel better. She looked over at Antonio. "Can you help us load our victim in the ambulance? Since you're here, you can help us." She grinned at her brother.

"Sure, Gabby. No problem." He looked over at Sylvie. "Later, we'll have wine and forget about this day, sound like a plan?" He questioned.

"Yes, sounds wonderful." She smiled as he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

As he walked away to help Gabby, she called after him. She smiled as he turned to looked at her.

"Thank you for saving my life." She said.

"It's kind of my job." He winked at her as he walked away with Gabby, leaving Sylvie standing there, shaking her head.

Although her and Antonio hasn't been together for that long, it felt longer than it was. Not in a bad way at all, but because how close they have gotten in such a short amount. She would be lying if she said she didn't love how protective he was over her, but at the same time, she wished at times he would think about what he did to protect her. Then again, if he did, he wouldn't be the man that she fell in love with.

As she walked over to the ambulance and got inside the drivers seat, she took a deep breath. With what she just went through, she needed to drive. She was sure Gabby wouldn't mind being in the back with the patient.
