I'm not that cruel, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 12

Three shots were fired. Two bodies hit the floor. John's hands were slightly shaking from the recoil of his gun. His bullet had grazed the side of Evan's head and went through the window behind him. Another bullet went through the window but it came from the SWAT team sniper who was outside the window.

When Fin was walking up to the house a few minutes earlier he had reported a possible hostage situation and they dispatched the SWAT team. The bullet went through the window and into Evan's back.

However before Evan went down he managed to get one shot off… next to him on the floor laid Sara, blood creeping from a bullet hole in her arm. Immediately John was next to Sara, applying pressure to her wound. Fin was calling for an ambulance as he reached down to check if Evan still had a pulse. There was a very weak one; the bastard might stand trial yet.

"Are you okay?" John asked frantically and he tried to slow the bleeding.

"Am I dead?" She asked weakly.

"No, I think you'll be alright." He smiled at her.

"Okay… good." Sara managed to say before passing out from the pain.

The ambulance soon arrived taking Evan and Fin in one bus and Sara and John in another. At the hospital both were rushed off to surgery while the detectives remained in the waiting room. John hadn't even realized that his hands and clothes were covered in Sara's blood until Benson, Stabler, and Cragen rushed in.

"Oh my God! Are you alright?" Olivia asked, quickly noticing the blood that stained John.

"I'm fine, it's Sara." He said absently, his mind was elsewhere.

"What the hell happened in there?" Cragen asked, sitting down across from Fin and John.

"We got to the brother's house and Munch's car was in the driveway. So we get up there and the brother answers the door meanwhile Kline is standing behind him with a gun on Sara. Munch managed to graze the side of Kline's head and SWAT got one in his back, Kline managed to get a shot off though and caught Sara in the arm."

Before any more conversation could take place a doctor came out looking for them. "Miss Cohen will be fine. We stitched up her head wound, which should heal fine, and we were able to remove the bullet from her arm. She did loose a lot of blood and we'll need to keep her here a few days while she recovers but we're expecting her to make a full recovery."

"And what about Kline?"

"Mr. Kline an enormous amount of blood, we were able to remove the bullet from his back. However he is in a coma right now and the next 24 hours will be crucial to his survival."

"Thank you doctor." Cragen said.

"Can I see Sara?" Munch asked, looking up at the doctor with a hopeful expression.

"Miss Cohen is heavily sedated at the moment but if you want to you may go in and sit with her."

"Thank you." Munch said as the doctor showed him where Sara's room was. He opened the door and entered the dimly lit room. There was only one machine hooked up to her and it was emitting a constant beep, which he assumed to be a good thing.

Her upper arm had a clean bandaged wrapped around it and there was a white bandage on the lower part of her head, similar to the one he was wearing. John sighed as he pulled up the chair to sit down next to her bed.

"Hey there." He said softly. "What a night huh? They said that you're going to be okay… I'm sorry this happened, I should have taken a better look around before we went to the car. I should have been thinking about the job and not about… other things." He muttered, his hand finding hers. "I'm going to make sure that if he lives that he will go to jail for this and for everything that he's done. I'll be back later." He whispered, before pressing a kiss against the back of her hand. "I… I love you."

With that he stood up and left, John Munch was going to make sure that this guy got everything that he deserved. Justice would be served and Munch was going to guarantee it. He promised Sara.
