"Jesse!" both Martin and Sam yelled, as they rushed over to the street. "Jesse!" They carefully made their way around the cars to find Jesse lying curled on her side. "Jesse?"
"Emily!" a woman screamed, as she rushed forward and Sam quickly stopped her. "My daughter ran out into traffic just before the girl did. I don't know what happened to her. Emily!"
"Mommy," a small voice called out, bringing Martin's attention to the young, curly blonde hair girl in Jesse's arms. "I'm here Mommy."
"Oh, god, Emily," her mother cried out, as she ran up to her daughter and pulled her into her arms. "Are you all right?"
Martin knelt down next to Jesse and placed a hand on her back. "You okay?" he asked her, as Sam hunched down next to her as well.
"Peachy Keen," Jesse mumbled, as she opened her eyes and slowly sat up. "Ow, that's gonna leave a mark." She then rubbed her shoulder from where she hit the ground and shot Emily a smile. "You okay, Puppet?'
"Yeah," Emily said, as she wrapped her arms around her mom's neck. "Peachy Keen."
"Thank you for saving my daughter," Emily's mom said, as tears of joy began to run down her face. "How can I ever repay you?"
"It's all in a days work, Ma'am," Jesse said, as Martin helped her to her feet and she gripped his arm when she almost fell. "Thanks Martin."
"You guys okay?" Danny asked them, as he rushed over to their sides. "What happened?"
"Emily here, ran out into traffic," Jesse said, as she ruffled Emily's hair. "And I went to save her."
"So you're her hero."
"I guess I now get what you guys do for a living."
"Well that's good to know."
Jesse then turned to face Martin and Sam. "Can we go home now?"
"Sounds like a plan," Martin said, as he put his arm around her shoulders. "Danny, you want to swing by later to catch a dinner and movie with us."
"Sounds like fun."
"Great, we'll meet you at my place, let's say two hours."
"I'll be there." Martin, Sam, and Jesse then headed for his car.
"Let's get you home," Sam said to Jesse, as she opened the door and she slid into the back seat. Sam then shot Martin a smile over the top of the car before getting into the passenger seat and they took off for his place.
The moment they were back at Martin's Apartment, Sam went with Jesse into the guest bedroom to change, leaving Martin some time to fix up something for a snack. Jesse left Sam sitting on the bed looking through her pictures, while she took a shower.
Sam looked up when Jesse came out of the bathroom after finishing her shower, slowly moving. Jesse was dressed in a pair of loose blue jeans and a black hoodie. "You okay?" she asked her, as she sat down on the bed next to Sam. "You're moving rather slowly."
"Yeah, getting shot, going through windows, and then taking dives on the street, hurts," she replied, as she laid back on the bed. "Do we really have to go out to eat?"
"Yes, we do," Martin said from the door way. "Danny is waiting for us."
"Let Taylor wait."
"No, we're not letting Taylor wait," Danny said, as he came up beside Martin. "Why? Because that's rude."
"You weren't supposed to let him in," Jesse said, as she threw a pillow at Danny. "At least not armed."
"Hey!" Martin then slid an arm around Danny's shoulder and turned him towards the living room. "She's going to be a handful, Martin."
"Tell me something I don't know," Martin said, only to get a pillow hit him in the back of the head and turned to face Jesse. "What? It's true. The doctor told you to take it easy, and you were repelling on the side of a building, going through windows, and taking dives on the street to save young children."
"It's all in a day's work," Jesse said, as she went over and perched on the couch next to Danny. "So are we still up for dinner and movie?"
"Sounds like the plan," Danny said, as Jesse hit him with a pillow. "Hey, you can get into a lot of trouble there, missy."
"How? Because I attacked a federal officer. Oh, please. You guys know that I would never do anything to hurt you guys."
"I'm not so sure about that." Danny's attention then caught on the tv. "Hey, look at that." He then pointed to the screen and they all turned to see. There on the screen was little Emily. "Isn't she the little girl that Jesse saved?"
"Yeah, that's Emily," Jesse said, as she sank down onto the counter. "I wonder why she's on the T.V."
Just then a male reporter came on and hunched down next to Emily. "I'm David King, and I'm here with Emily," he began, as she shot a smile into the camera. "Now earlier today, Emily was saved by a young woman. Emily had bolted into the street after her bag and didn't see the oncoming traffic. The young woman then rushed out and saved her from certain death."
"Her name is Jesse, and she's my guardian angel," Emily said into the camera. "I would be dead if it hadn't been for her. Thank you, Jesse."
"And there you have it folks, a woman, by the name of Jesse, saved this girl from certain death."
"How about that," Danny said, as he turned around to look at Jesse to see tears in her eyes. "We have a Guardian Angel among us."
"Sounds about right," Martin said, as they sat down around Jesse. "How does it feel?'
"How does what feel?" she asked, as she got to her feet and grabbed her coat. "I thought we were going out to grab some food to eat and go see a movie."
"We are."
"But how does it feel?" Danny asked, as the others joined her at the door. "To know that you saved someone else's life." They then headed out of his apartment and towards the way out.
"Great." They exited Martin's building and stood out in the cold. "But you gotta remember just one thing."
"And what's that."
"It's all in a day's work." They then broke out laughing as they got into Martin's car and took off for a night to themselves.
The End
