It was weird. Very weird. One minute he was here, the next he was gone. She knew the risk of the job. She just didn't expect for him to be the one to leave. Looking over at his wife and children sadden her. They didn't deserve any of this. Sighing as she stood up from the chair and walk to the podium, her shield shining brightly from the the lights that shown on the stage. Taking a deep breath as she stood in front of the mic, her eyes looking at everyone, "Matt was my partner for six years. He was like a brother to me. His family is my second family.." She drifted off as she looked over to them with sad eyes, "There's not a bad thing that I could say about..other than him making the most lamest jokes ever." The room ran out in laughter causing her to smiled softly, "But I never told him they were because he just wanted to put a smile on my face when I was having a bad day." She started to fiddle with her hands before she turned to his children, "Gab, Ky..your dad loved you more than words can express. You two boys were his pride and joy. Never forget that." Her sadden eyes moved to his wife, "Theresa..you know he loved you with every bone in his body. You were his backbone..the love of his life." Theresa smiled through her tears at Mercedes, placing a hand over her heart. Mercedes chuckled as she thought of something, "I'll never forget that dinner we had at your house. You made it very clear that the only other woman you wanted Matt in the car with or even in contact with was me." She laughed as the room laughed with her, "And I meant that, Mercedes." Theresa smiled at the woman. Mercedes let out a grin as she held her head down, taking deep breath, she looked over the the picture, "He left this world doing the one thing he loved to do, protect and serve this city. He was the best partner a gal could ask for and I-I'm going to miss him dearly." She said the last part quietly, feeling a tear slide down her face, she stepped back from the podium and walked off the stage. She sadly smiled when the boys came up and hugged her. She looked down at them before moving over to their mother and hugged her tightly, "I'm always going to be here for you guys." She whispered as she patted her back. And she meant that.
Sam walked towards his car when his phone rang. Picking it up, he was shock to see it was his captain out off of people. He placed the phone to his ear and listen to what he was saying. A happy sigh escaping his lips when he heard the news. He was out of here. Don't get him wrong, he loved his job but being at this particular precinct was killing him. Let take it back a notch. Sam grew up in Nashville. When he was five, his parents got better job offers in Boston, where they lived until he was twelve. They then relocated to New York and never left. He didn't always wanted to be a police office. His real dream was to become a country singer but quickly got over that dream when he saw his dad in action one day. He would never forget how many lives his dad saved and that's something he's really proud of. He wanted to be able to do the same so he became a police officer. He would never forget that day he graduated from the police academy. The look on his dad's face was priceless. Getting into his truck, he couldn't help the smile that was taking over his face. It was time for a fresh start.
A/N. Hey everyone! I'm back again with another Samcedes adventure. This should be a fun ride also. Short introduction but I promise the chapters will get longer. We're also going to learn more about Mercedes' background as the story progresses. BTW, I had a really hard time on thinking/finding a name for this story, so be nice please. I may change it later on, lol. :)
