Summary: …she could smell it every time she rubbed her nose.

The gun powder residue was still on her hand, and she could smell it every time she rubbed her nose. It nauseated her, and in the back of her mind the scene continued to run through her head.

The kid had pulled a gun. Her partner had reached for his own, but she had always been a quicker draw and beat him to the punch. She could still hear the gun going off, feel the slight recoil, and felt her partner's warm hand on her shoulder…

Shaking her head, she glanced up at her partner, who was standing just to her right, his left hand resting on her shoulder much like it had earlier that day.

"You've been cleared."

For some reason, that didn't make her feel any better.
