Sharon wasn't sure how she made it to the hospital after getting the phone call from Flynn. He wouldn't tell her any more other than to get to the hospital as soon as she could. Sharon almost forgot to throw on a t-shirt and jeans before running out the door of her condo. The entire car ride there she was on auto pilot, thinking of one thing only, Rusty was hurt, and she needed to be there.

As she rushed through the hospital doors at full speed she ran past the rest of her squad sitting in the waiting room chairs. Once they got the news that it was Rusty in the accident everyone wanted to be there to show their support for Rusty and their Captain. After racing down a few hallways her eyes found Flynn and Provenza standing outside a pair of glass doors leading to a small trauma room.

She shouted to them running at full speed, panic in her voice. Provenza turned to her holding up his hands to slow her. "Now Captain calm down-"Sharon cut him off instantly, even out of breath she still managed to get the words out "Where is Rusty? Is he okay?" Her voice was shaken and eyes filled with tears.

Provenza looked as if the wind had been knocked out of him and for once was at a loss for words. Andy took over taking a step towards Sharon giving his best poker face placing his hand on her shoulder. "It's bad Sharon."

Sharon looked at Andy for more information not sure what that meant, "how bad?" Sharon tried to move her eyes around her lieutenants to view inside the room but Andy took a step to the side blocking her view and grabbing her attention.

Andy sighed looking at Provenza, then back at Sharon before speaking, "Witness at the crime scene stated that-"

"Crime scene?!" Sharon steadied herself against the wall with her hand feeling her stomach turn. "Lieutenant, what the hell happened? Is Rusty okay!?"

Andy started to speak again this time looking directly into her eyes keeping her focus, "Witnesses reported that a semi was speeding and ran through the red light. It happened just as the car that Rusty was in drove through the intersection. The driver was killed on impact and-"Andy looked at Sharon giving her a minute to absorb the information he had just given her. "Sharon, Rusty is in critical condition, it doesn't look good."

Sharon took a step back from Andy tears streaming down her face and Provenza tried to keep his own emotions at bay. "Oh god this is all my fault, he wouldn't of left if I-" Provenza stepped forward placing his arms on his captain's shoulders looking directly into her eyes. "This isn't your fault, it's that son of a bitch who ran the red light. This is not your fault Sharon."

Andy began talking again as Provenza stepped away from Sharon setting his hands on the back of his head trying to calm his own nerves. "They said he's bleeding out internally and they are trying to stop it, there is a possible brain bleed- the nurse said he's lucky to be alive. Sharon they are doing everything they can for him."

Sharon stopped crying as she heard a small voice down the hall as she turned to see Cynthia rushing down the hallway fear crept over her body. This wasn't happening, it was her nightmare coming to life, Rusty needed her and she couldn't do a damn thing.

The shouting behind the doors grew louder as they opened and Sharon saw Rusty lying in a hospital bed bloodied and bruised, his head wrapped in a bandage his left wrist cut open and what looked of a broken angle as the wheeled him quickly down the hall towards surgery. He looked lifeless and Sharon felt her knees go weak instantly covering her mouth to cover the cry she let out. Feeling her legs would no longer support her as her head went dizzy, Sharon heard someone shout Captain as arms flew around her before her world went dark.

This time it was Andy's words of reality ringing in her ears… "It's bad Sharon."
