Chapter 2
-------------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------- ---------------------------
It was nearly an hour after three and Sara still hadn't heard from John. She was sitting in the living room, the TV was on but she wasn't really paying attention. John and Fin probably found the guy they were waiting for and had to take him back to the station. She had already tried to call John twice to let him know that she had found his keys and to find out where he was.
She was just about to go back to the bedroom to get some more sleep when someone was knocking on the door. "It's about time John, I was getting worried…" Sara opened the door to reveal Olivia and Elliot. "Oh… hi." She said trying to hide her embarrassment. Her hand flew to the undone buttons that was revealing a little more then they needed to see.
"Hi… can we come in?" Olivia asked.
"Sure… did something happen?" Sara asked, letting the two detectives into the apartment. She couldn't think of any other reason they would be here this early.
"Uh… you might want to sit down." Elliot said, putting his hand on her back and walking with her to a chair in the living room.
Sara went pale and she felt her stomach tighten in fear. "What happened?"
"John was shot, he's at the hospital right now… they're operating but they haven't told us how he's doing." Elliot said softly, trying to keep her calm.
"Oh my God…" Sara muttered, her vision was blurry from the tears in her eyes and she was covering her mouth with her hand. "I just talk to him a few hours ago… he was fine…"
"We need to get to the hospital…"
"Right… uhm… just let me get some clothes on." Sara said standing up and rushing back to the bedroom. Her hands were shaking so much that it was hard to button her jeans. She tried not to look at their bed, tried not to think about the terrible things that wanted to run through her mind. Now wasn't the time, she couldn't think these things… she just couldn't.

When Elliot, Olivia, and Sara arrived at the hospital they found Fin and Cragen sitting in the waiting room. The two looked up when they entered, "Hey guys." Fin said.
"Have they told you anything?" Olivia asked.
"He's in surgery, they removed the bullet and they're trying to stop the bleeding." Cragen said in a morose tone. Sara sat down in the empty seat next to Fin, she was still quiet and seemed to be in shock. She unconsciously fidgeted with her engagement ring while trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.
The silence started to get to everyone and Olivia decided to break it. "So… uh Sara…. You've known Munch longer then us, what was he like when he was younger?"
For the first time since Olivia and Elliot showed up at the apartment Sara smiled and began to speak.
