GAH! Okay, yeah—I'm kinda killing this story, but oh well—Oh and I FINALLY figured out a way for a few people of the team to get involved—So be on the lookout. I'm not sure which chapter I'll pull them in though, either this one or the next. Haha.

Enjoy!

"You know we never actually—." Jules whispered, her face next to Brian's chest. He smiled as he looked down at her, stroking her hair as it fell along his arm, "We always wanted to—But you refused after what happened with Tony." She giggled then paused for a second, "Holy shit! What time is it!?" She yelled, climbing out of his bed and throwing clothes on. "It's 2am—Do you have to go?" She nodded, "Dammit Brian! I'm married! My husband is going to literally kill me." Brian sighed as he sat up and started to get dressed. "I'll call you a cab." She nodded, collecting her things.

"Will I ever see you again?" He asked before letting her walk downstairs in his apartment building. She smiled and shrugged, "It was great—But I—See you around." She handed him her number on a slip of paper, kissing him gently before running down the stairs.

When the cab pulled up and she climbed in the backseat, she was in tears. She had fallen in love with a guy she had already been in love with, many, many years earlier—but then again, she was also in love with her husband. She had a family to worry about—not some guy she was lured back to.

"Where the hell have you been!?" Sam yelled as she came into the house. He was waiting for her. Her hair was hair was unevenly stroked and her dress' halter was flipped.

"I was with—."

"For that long!?"

She nodded, keeping her focus away from him, "Yes Sam! Am I not allowed to have any kind of fun because I'm married and have kids? I want to be able to hang out with my friends! You go to the bar with the guys sometimes, how do I know what you're up to when I'm not around? I trust you and you should trust me."

He knew something was up after how she just blew up on him like that. He hadn't given her any hint that he was wondering if she was with another man—she had pretty much told on herself. "Okay—Whatever—The girls all went to bed. We have a shift tomorrow night—maybe we should get some sleep." Jules nodded as she dropped her bag and went to their room to get ready for bed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 whole weeks passed. Jules saw Brian only once a week when she said that she was going shopping while Sam went to grab a drink with the guys. It was for real. She loved Brain again—but she also loved Sam. When she saw the smiles on her daughters faces when she kissed Sam, she felt guilty and terrible for what she was doing. Nothing was making her do it. She continued to go to work, be with her friends and family—but to the side she would stop in for a visit with Brian. She told him she needed to figure things out before exposing the truth to Sam.

Everything was going smoothly until the day that Jules decided to visit Brian at work.

"Hey Baby." He whispered as he saw her walk into the lobby of the shooting range. He kissed her gently and led her to his office where they could talk. "Hey, I can't stay for long—Sam thinks I'm at the drug store. So how are you?" He smiled and stroked his hand through her hair, "I'm good—How about you?" She shook her head, "I don't know what to do. I mean, I told you about Jessica being pregnant and Carly's now 5 months and she's just growing up like crazy. I'm just—I'm lost. I'm afraid I'm making a big mistake doing this." He kissed her cheek. "Just tell me what you decide."

--

"Team three has totally taken over the range and its pissing me off." Ed complained to Wordy as they both walked into the shooting range. Wordy laughed, "Me too man—but I shoot better here sometimes. Damn—I haven't been here in a month or two, maybe I might actually—Eddie—."

"What?"

Wordy nodded his head towards the office beside the front desk. In the window two dark haired people were holding hands. When they moved into a hug, they could make out the face of the shorter one perfectly.

"Dude—What the hell is she doing?" Wordy asked.

"Man, she's making a big mistake. Especially after what happened between us—I can't believe shes doing this again." Ed added.

Wordy nodded, "Okay—Maybe—Maybe its just a friend."

"I didn't know friends made out Buddy." Ed shook his head, "This is bad. No wonder she doesn't talk about Sam as much when we get partnered together."

"Do we tell Sam?" Wordy asked.

"We cant—But someone has to help her before she makes a big mistake."

Wordy pushed Ed around the corner, "Dude! Move—Here she comes!"

--

"I love you." She whispered against his lips. He kissed her once more, "I love you too." He kissed her neck gently, stroking his hand through her hair as she smiled. "I'll call you as soon as I can." He nodded and let his hand fall down her side as she left the building, not even noticing Ed's car parked over to the side as she drove off.

--

"Can I help you two?" Brian asked Ed and Wordy as they came out to get set up in the range.

They didn't say anything.

------------------------------------------------

"Well damn it took you a long time." Sam joked as she came through the front door. She nodded, "Sorry—Traffic." He nodded slowly as she walked past him.

"Jules—Is everything okay?"

She nodded, "Yep—Everything's fine. Do you want anything for dinner? We have shift at 8 tonight."

Sam shook his head.

They sat there for fifteen minutes, just pondering around downstairs as Sam wouldn't say a word to her.

"Mom?" Alexis asked as she came downstairs, "Jessica's upset for some reason." Jules nodded, "Okay sweetie—I'll be right up."

"Sam—I don't know what your problem is, but figure it out. You're treating me like crap. Tell me how you feel or stop trying to give me the silent treatment." She told him then stormed off.

"Sweetheart whats wrong?" She whispered, placing her hand on Jessica's back. "I'm not ready for this, Mom. Tomorrow I find out if it's a girl or boy. I'm just—I'm scared. This is just too weird." Jules placed her hand on Jessica's stomach, "I know—But its really fun when you get to find out, plus you're almost 4 months pregnant and you will only have 5 months to go." Jessica nodded as she wiped her tears. "Thanks for always being here for me Mom." Jules nodded slowly and forced a smile.

What have I done?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call at 2 am

"Five year old female taken from a gas station. Kidnapper is armed and driving a stolen vehicle."

"Come on Derek—Put the gun down. Killing this little girl will do nothing for you but add a murder charge to you." Greg negotiated as Jules stood over to the side, hidden by a pillar. Her gun was raised at the man's head.

Lou was in the truck reading off the information to Greg over the radio, "Subject's name is Derek King, 42—He's got two priors for abduction of minors. He spent a few years in jail about two decades ago, nothing since."

The man had kidnapped a small girl from a gas station, Five year old Sydney Brown. He was using her as a human shield.

"Jules?" Greg whispered.

"I got the solution." She said clearly as she came up behind Derek and crept around the doorway, her gun propped at her shoulder.

Sam and Ed had a sierra shot from the upstairs of a house across the street—but it was too risky for them to shoot from that far away without an exact solution. It was up to Jules. She looked over to see Wordy covering Greg.

"Derek—Just put the gun down. We can take Sydney and everything will be okay. See Derek—She's scared—Why don't we just—."

"Get the hell away from me!" Derek yelled, throwing his hand in the air, raising his gun at Greg, "Jules."

"I got the solution." She repeated.

"Scorpio."

Everyone braced themselves when they heard his call over the radio, and when the shot fired—The situation had come to a close.

Jules sighed as she caught her breath and dropped her gun by her feet. Greg nodded to her as she bit her tongue to keep from thinking of the dead body before her eyes.

"Come here sweetie." Greg took Sydney's hand as Wordy and Jules handcuffed the dead body, waiting for forensics to show up. Greg took one last glance back as he carried the five year old on his hip.

"Constable Braddock." An SIU agent came in the room. She glanced over to Wordy as he stood up to talk to the forensics agents who came in. She nodded slowly as she was led out of the room.

"Can I have—one—second?" She asked as she saw Sydney over on a gurney being comforted by Spike. Greg nodded to the SIU agents who gave her the nod to go.

"Great job Jules." Spike smiled as he left her to talk to Sydney. "Thanks."

"Hey Sydney." Jules spoke softly. The little girl was in tears as Jules sat down next to her on the gurney, pulling her into her lap. "My name is Jules." She rocked her in her lap. "You know—You were really strong in there. You're a strong little girl and your parents are going to be so happy that you're safe."

"No—They wont. They don't love me." She whimpered. Jules held the little girl close to her chest, "What?"

Sydney nodded, "My parents don't love me. They're too busy fighting."

"I'm sure they love you sweetie. What do you mean they fight?"

"Daddy hits Mommy because she doesn't love him anymore. Then when she leaves I'm left with Daddy and he forgot my at the gas station—that's where the bad man took me."

Jules gasped as she looked at the little girl, resting against her vest. "Sweetie—Has your Daddy ever hit you though?"

Sydney shook her head, "No—But he calls me mean things, words that my teacher said was bad. Mommy hit me a few times—she said that I was stupid."

"Oh no Sydney, you're not stupid. I think you're very smart." Jules smiled and lifted Sydney to her hip, carrying her over to the team. "Guys—I have to do the investigation—Does anyone know how far away her parents are?"

"Her mother's trying to get on a plane here—about three hours away. No location on the father. Why?" Greg spoke. Jules nodded, "Can someone—Can someone hold onto her for a bit, I need to figure something out." Greg smiled and nodded as he took Sydney onto his hip, "We'll take care of you." He told her softly. "I'll see you in a bit." Jules smiled as she followed the investigator to the police car.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey—How was the investigation?" Sam asked as Jules walked into the station.

"Same old—Where's the kid?" She asked in a rushed tone. Sam grabbed her shoulders, "Jules—Why are you getting so involved with this?" She shook her head, "Sam—I need to speak to her." He nodded, "Spike was letting her ride on Babycakes." She sighed deeply, "Great—the kid's going to get killed by a bomb-trashing robot before I can help her." Sam chuckled as he let her storm off.

"What if this were to happen to our family? I could never start fighting with Sam—no—What have I done? I have to get rid of Brian. I love Sam too much. I'll tell him later—once everything has cooled down. Oh man where is she? She's gone through so much—Hopefully Spike hasn't scared her off. Oh thank God—There she is."

"Sydney." Jules spoke softly. The little girl hugged Spike's leg and jumped so that Jules would pick her up. When she lifted her to her hip, Spike smiled. "Well—Babycakes is going to hit the hay—its almost 4:30 am." Sydney giggled and wave, "Bye Babyflakes!" Spike laughed, using the remote to roll her into another room.

"Are you tired sweetie?" Jules whispered as Sydney nodded and placed her head on Jules' shoulder. "Here—Let's go to my locker room."

On the way there she passed by Greg and Ed. "Hey Jules—Can we—?" Greg whispered as she motioned for the two to follow her. Sam was talking on the phone with Jessica as she always seemed to wake up and see the news. He told her to go back to bed and then he rejoined Lou and Wordy in the briefing room.

"Jules—what's going on? Why can't we hand her to a social—?"

Jules interrupted Greg, "Boss—There's no way you can send her back to her parents." She whispered as she held the small girl in her arms, her already fast asleep.

"What? Why?" Ed asked.

"Her Mom hits her and her Dad calls her awful things—he's the one that left her at the gas station where she was kidnapped."

Both Greg and Ed stared at each other. "But—Why?" Greg shook his head.

"She said her mom didn't love her dad anymore—so the dad hits her mother and then she's just thrown in between I guess." Both Greg and Ed shook their heads. "I just—Someone has to help her. She's extremely smart and sweet and she's being treated like she's this awful kid, and she isn't!" Tears welled in her eyes, showing Greg and Ed how serious she was about getting to the bottom of this.

"Do you think they should take the mother into custody?" Greg asked. Jules glanced down at the little girl pulling her dirty blonde hair away to reveal a bruise at the back of her neck. She bit her lip, "Yes—How could anyone do this to a little kid?"

She thought back to her days of screaming for help as her father beat the life out of her.

"Okay."
