A Learning Experience

It had been over two weeks since Sam and Jules had had an actual conversation. They had exchanged pleasantries and were able to carry on a small conversation, but that was it. After Adam had called Jules back and explained to her that Sam was probably suffering from PTSD and anger management issues, he strongly suggested she report him to the department. She disagreed with him and was now watching his team leader and sergeant having a word with him.

"It's not nice to stare, Constable Callaghan," Ed's voice snapped her out of her daydream as he walked past her.

"Yeah I know." Jules responded to herself as she continued to work out, half listening to Spike's story about Baby Cakes.

"Constable Braddock! You get back here now!" Sergeant Dayton's voice echoed throughout the halls and grabbed everyone's attention as Sam stalked down the hallway and towards the dressing rooms. "Constable Braddock!" His voice echoed again.

"Freeze!" Ed's head whipped around just as Spike was standing up. "Don't move Constable Scarlatti!" Ed ordered as Spike began protesting.

"Ed—" Spike whined as he shot a look towards Jules who ignored his glare. "Sam's going to do something stupid if we don't stop him!" He finished bravely. "His father's been on his case for the last two weeks, leaving him hundreds and hundreds of angry messages everyday and threatening all kinds of things."

"Spike," Ed's voice slightly calmer "We have work to do. Sam is not our problem anymore." Ed told him.

"With all due respect Sir, I've already lost one best friend and I don't intend on losing another today." Spike walked out of the gym.

Watching him leave, Jules was frozen in her spot as she looked back at Ed who was obviously not very happy with Spike's decision.

Flashpoint

"Sam—" Spike walked slowly into the male dressing room, obviously having a hard time with what he was seeing. Sam was shaking and pacing back and forth beside the bench opposite his locker, his hands running through his hair and his eyes blinking fiercely. By all accounts it looked like Sam was having a nervous breakdown, but for the life of him Spike was having a hard time putting all the pieces together as he tried to retrace Sam's steps. "You need to help me out here Sam—"

"Get out of here Spike!" Sam suddenly turned to face him.

"I can't do that," Spike told him, standing strong.

"Spike I don't want you to see this." Sam told his friend as he picked up the gun from his locker and pointed towards his brain.

"Sit. Talk," Ed pushed Jules into a chair as Greg closed the door to the briefing room. "On second thought Constable Callaghan, let me do the talking." He said, crossing his arms over his chest as he glared at her. "Sergeant Parker received a call last Monday from a certain office in Ottawa I'm sure your familiar with. As it turns out, our friend Sam almost beat you up after you apparently talked to his father. You see, we know all about this little secret of yours and let me tell you something Constable, it just might have cost a fellow officer his life."

"I can't believe Adam called you," Were the first words of Jules mouth after Ed had finished his lecture.

"It's his job Jules, and it's my job to tell Sergeant Dayton. He was giving Sam until today to come clean to him, but he didn't, so he gave him leave." Greg explained to her.

"Sam's not crazy, and if I had thought it was that serious I would have told you. I just didn't want you to hurt Sam," Jules was mainly talking to Ed.

"Oh we would have hurt him," Ed assured her. "And then we would have gotten him the help he needed. You're trained to recognized the signs, the little twitches, the shakes, cold sweats, the mood swings and changes in behavior, but you're also blinded by love and unable to see past it. It's happened to all of us Jules, but now you have to realize that you made a mistake and deal with the consequences of it."

"The Veterans Hospital in Kingston is expecting him on Friday," Greg explained.

"Kingston?" Jules asked. "What about Borden?"

"We thought it would be better if he went somewhere new."

"It doesn't matter," Jules told them standing up. "Everybody already knows who he is, and if they don't, his name might give them a hint. And as soon as General Braddock finds out he'll—"

"We thought of that," Ed told her. "Officially he's there to train new recruits but unofficially he'll be observed and tested, and he'll be taking medication."

"I think General Braddock might have a few more connections then you two seem to have," Jules told them.

"It wasn't us, it was Adam. He pulled every string and used every favor he had to sweep this whole thing under the rug. I think you owe him a huge thank you." Ed told her.

"Yeah maybe," Jules replied, still a little skeptical about this whole idea.

Flashpoint

"You know, I had this whole romantic evening for you and Jules planned with a hockey game and everything," Spike tried his best to talk Sam down.

"This isn't about Jules!" Sam screamed.

"Right well that's good," Spike's face flushed red as he tried to think of something else to say.

"Constable Scarlatti, I think you've done enough damage." Ed spoke next as he, Greg and Sergeant Dayton walked into the room. "We'll talk later," He added sternly.

"Yes sir," Spike said miserably as he left the room and walked smack into Jules on his way out. "Jules you—" He began.

"Sam's getting the help he needs." She repeated the words that Ed and Sergeant Parker had told her. "He'll get better Spike, I promise," She added and fell into his arms as the comforted each other.
