Hi guys, new chapter for you, sorry about the wait work had been splitting my days off so time has been a bit restricted. I cant thank you all enough for the reviews, hope the story lives up to your expectations. Have a nice long week off soon so hopefully next chapter will be sooner rather than later. :)


Nudging the woman hugging the little boy Amy discretely moved closer to her, the little boy in his mother's arms was quietly sobbing. Amy was grateful for this; if he had been noisy he was sure to have spooked their captures. A screaming child was always stressful to listen to, in whatever situation.

"Hi, don't speak" Amy spoke though the side of her mouth. "I'm a cop and I want to help get you and your little boy out.

The woman's eye got a moment of relief, but it didn't last long for the panic to return with just one look into the corner of the room.

"It will be okay, the police outside know what they are doing." Amy tried to calm her, she need this to go smoothly.

Peering around the bank, Amy hoped an idea would spring to her. If only she had at least brought her gun. The only saving grace was that she was sitting at the back of the crowd and there was only one child to get out.

As she carefully turned slightly more to her left it she spotted an open door, if she could just get the mother and son pair though that door they would be a lot safer than sitting out here in the open.

With one last look to the corner she could see the men still huddled over to what seemed to be a phone. At least the police had got in contact, slightly wondering what their demands were. If she was on the outside with her team they always had a laugh at some of the ones they received. Even if it was to lighten the mood a little.

Unfortunately this time she wasn't around supported by her team, she was in here alone and the main concern was getting these people out, especially the little boy.

"Do you see that door over there?" Amy started to whisper again. "We need to get you and your son though. Do you think you will be able to do that?"

"I don't know. What if they see us leave?" The woman was holding back from crying you could hear the effort in her voice.

"They are talking to the police at the moment, who will be trying to get them talking for as long as possible. Now is your chance." Amy prayed this woman would listen they were starting to run out of time.

The mother looked down at her son; determination crossed her face this time round and stayed there. With a defiant nod towards Amy she bent toward towards her son's ear whispering so quietly that even Amy who was right next to them couldn't hear.

Amy shuffled closure to the pair effectively hiding the little boy from view. "If you lay on the floor and as quickly as you possible can, shuffle to the door over there. Do you think you can do that?"

A very small "yes" came from behind.

"Great, okay start moving."

With the Mom and Amy covering him the little boy shuffled on the floor, thankfully he was so small the captures didn't notice.

He was about half way to the door, when Amy peed over to him it was when something caught her eye.

Standing with his back right to wall trying to appear as small as possible was the one person who was at the forefront of her mind. Jake.

Their eyes met and for those few seconds she forgot that she could be in danger, relief washed over her knowing that it was her own team dealing with this. Knowing that Jake was dealing with this.

They may joke about him being a terrible second, but even Amy would be the first to admit he was a fantastic point leader. Working on gut instinct that always got him into trouble but in the end got the right result.

She watched as Jake moved low to the ground encouraging the boy over to him. A soft smile appeared on Amy's face just watching the interaction. A man sitting a few feet away from her gave her the most peculiar look, as if to wonder why anyone in this situation would be smiling.

"He's hansom, a friend of your?" The mother asked.

Amy didn't speak; she couldn't what could be said. Yes there were friends, they always will be. It maybe the situation that she was now in but it felt like a punch in the gut when she first spotted him in the doorway. Friends wasn't enough anymore.

In no time at all the boy had reached Jake and pulled him up into his arm, Amy felt the weight lift of her shoulders. At least he was safe. With a quick nod back to Amy, Jake and the boy left Amy's eye line. She felt the lost of contact more than she felt was right.

Jake

Creeping to the back of the building the team were all set up with their plan in place, after some struggle the heavy duty door was opened. Jake had to count to ten not to race in there and blow the hold thing.

After getting lost once or twice thanks to a recent refurbishment they spotted the door to the main floor of the bank. Boyles stand back behind Jake, whilst Diaz and the Sarge steed off down the left corridor.

Moving along the wall keep his back directly too it, Jake spotted the group of people sitting on the floor. What shocked him the most was the little dark haired boy moving along the floor on his stomach; it didn't take much long to then spot the one person he needed to see.

It actually hurt him to stand in the shadows whilst she was sitting out on the floor. Though her face confused him, why was she smiling? Jakes thoughts, and the way he was feeling felt off putting, he knew that he like Amy. God he even told her, but it felt more than just an "I like you." That was not a place he wanted to go you right now.

Once Jake picked up the boy he turned away, it was not something he wanted to do but priorities had to be put in order.

"You okay little guy?" Jake trying to appear cheerful, the kid must not be any older than 4.

"Yeah, is my Mommy coming?" his small voiced asked.

"Sure kid, she will be right along but in the mean time you are going to go with this funny looking guy here who will take you outside. It won't be long until we get your Mommy out too. Do you think you can be brave and do that for us?" Jake hoped will all hope that he wasn't making false promises.

The boy nodded and Jake was very happy to pass him over, it was a responsibility he did not want to be accounted for right now.

As soon as Boyle had disappeared around the corner, Jake heard commotion coming from behind him.

Running back towards the doorway he could see a woman being picked up by one of the gunman. She was crying trying to get away but they weren't letting her go.

Somehow he knew what was coming next, as he look over his heart sank and the sight of Amy standing up.

Jake banged his head against the wall. The perfect plan he had in place just got a lot more complicated
