…

Prompt: Worried.

"Sam I'm scared."

Her words broke his heart and his head almost dropped when he couldn't hear the echo of her voice off the walls, realizing that sound was still coming from his earpiece. In just under 24 hours, he'd gotten her back and lost her again, and there was no way he was going to let that happen again.

"Chloe's bleeding out Sam. I can't keep pressure on the arm wound as well as look for the other one, I have no idea where it's coming from."

He takes a deep breath as he nods to Oliver Shaw to turn the corner with his weapon raised, clearing the next landing before they can keep going. He can feel Noelle Williams tap his shoulder twice, telling him that it's good to go up the stairs.

"That siren better be EMS, because if not I don't have time to get Chloe out of here. I still can't find that God damn wound and I don't have anything to fight them off with if they come back."

His steps falter as he hear a whimper through the earpiece, and he sees Shaw's head snap up as that same sound travels quietly from a room down the hall.

"Suspects in custody," Epstein's voice crackles through the radio one of the radios, "Requesting relay vehicle."

Sam lifts a hand and takes the ear-piece from his ear, holding it carefully in one hand as he moved towards the closest door to the landings entrance. They hear the noise again and his hand is on the door knob with Noelle behind him in seconds.

Something dropped to ground and the three of them had their guns raised and aimed at the door. Oliver counted down from beside him as Sam twists the door knob. Pushing it open, he can feel his heart climb his throat at the sight of Andy McNally kneeling on the ground beside Chloe Price with a shard of glass pointed in their direction.

"Hey sweetheart, you can put that down now," he smiles reassuringly at her, holstering his weapon and taking a few cautious steps towards the two.
"I can't stop the bleeding, there's so much blood."

His hand covers hers and he coaxes her into dropping the shard of glass. Helping her to her feet, he can hear Shaw requesting EMS to the third floor of the building as Noelle kneels beside Andy's original spot to check the younger officer over.

When she unclenches her hand and the cuts from the glass become visible he finds himself lifting a hand to stroke her fringe from her face. Looking over her appearance he recognizes that her button up uniform shirt was wrapped tightly around Chloe Price's arm as an attempt to keep pressure on one wound as she searched for the other.

"Take her down stairs," Oliver's voice interrupts his search for injuries, "There's a bus down there, but you'll probably end up having to take her to hospital."
"No I'm fine, Chloe is-"
"Don't try and argue with us Andy," Sam murmurs as she finally looks up from the blood on her hands to him, "Let's just get you taken care of."

He watches her nod slowly and he's glad she lets him lead her from the room, as the pass paramedics he fills them in on the situation and points them in the direction telling them that Officer Shaw and Williams will be there to assist them.

His hand doesn't move from the small of her back until they leave stop at the bottom floor, when they're greeted by Dov Epstein.

"Dov," he hears her breathe from beside him before she steps towards the man and into his open arms, "I'm so sorry. I've done as much as I can, but they're up there and-"
"It's okay, you're both going to be alright."

Sam's eyes follow the rookies as the go to the stairs where paramedics were slowly bringing the woman in question down.

"I've got Andy," Sam tells Epstein, "Go with Price and EMS, you know the drill. Just make sure she's okay before you call for one of us to take her statement."
"Yes sir."

The officer steps away from Andy and gives her a smile before following the medics out to where they would be transporting Officer Price. His eyes go to Andy in time for her to turn to face him.

"Sam, I'm so tired."

She steps easily into his arms and he hears a sob escape her lips.

"I know sweetheart, I know."

…

Let's not discuss the OCness. And how I couldn't find a better way to write the prompt. Mind you. It used to be 'Wedding' and I was killing myself slowly with Traci/Jerry feels as I was writing their wedding and it was going to be like. 100% AU because it implied that Jerry Barber hadn't died that day and. Ugh.

Also. I know how similar it is to the second-last episode of the season, and that was purely by coincidence. I wrote this long before I watch the episode and by then I couldn't do much to this to change it. Because now it looks like I have a thing for hurting Chloe but I love her and she's a cutie.

Anyway.

Thank you!

All mistakes are mine.
