You guys have no idea how happy all of your reviews make me, honestly! Thank you SO much, you're great. I hope you like the following chapter as much as you liked the ones before.

Sharon opened her eyes and moaned in discomfort. Before being able to think straight she was already retching again and again. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, even though she wasn't crying. When she was finally able to catch a breath Sharon looked down at herself once more. Her clothes were still ripped – but why? She tried to remember what had happened, tried to find a clue in her memory what she was doing at that abandoned place on earth. But she couldn't. There was nothing. As if someone used an eraser and obliterated everything. Her pulse raced. Her head was throbbing. Her hands were shaking. She was starting to feel dizzy and light-headed. Just before Sharon was about to lose her consciousness she fought against the darkness that threatened to overcome her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in before letting the air out again. The effort of calming herself down succeeded and a few moments later Sharon opened her eyes again. She started to examine her surroundings. If she was right and lucky, Sharon thought, she was stranded in a roadside ditch. She could hear cars driving by, but she wasn't sure if that was just wishful thinking. Sharon didn't feel like she could trust her own instincts, she hadn't even noticed that blood was running down her left cheek until she wondered where the red stains on her blouse came from.
I need to get up there, Sharon thought. She tried to get her body into a position that allowed her to crawl towards where the brunette suspected a street and in connection to that safety. But she wasn't even on one knee when her limps became numb, her arms gave in and she was lying on the ground again.

A while later at the police station Buzz was doing everything in his power to check video tapes from security cameras, sort through notifications from allegedly eyewitnesses that say that they have seen the Captain last night while trying again and again to locate her phone.
Rusty was sitting next to Buzz and tried to help wherever he could. There was not one video tape that he hadn't seen, but not one showed Sharon. "Are you sure I shouldn't go look for her too?" Rusty asked while Buzz tried to locate Sharon's phone one more time.
"No, stay here", Buzz murmured. Rusty led out a frustrated sight and sunk back in his chair. He couldn't sit still anymore so he started to walk up and down in front of Buzz's desk. Rusty wouldn't even admit it to himself, he was trying to act like a grown up here, like he saw everybody else acting: focused, concentrated and rational. But he was feeling like he was about to lose his mind at any moment. Rusty had lived through terrible pain, excruciating loneliness, betrayal and disappointment. But this - this was far beyond everything he had ever experienced. Losing his Mom, his REAL Mom, the woman that had showed him what having a mother really means was more than he could take. This couldn't be happening. But Rusty didn't benefit from an intensive police training and didn't have the ability to control his emotions as well as the team. He know though, that deep down the entire team was probably as scared about Sharon as Rusty was. Just as the boy sank into the chair next to Buzz, Buzz whispered: "Oh my god."
"What?!" Rusty sat up straight.
"I think I just got a signal."
"What do you mean you think? What does that mean? Can we call her?" Rusty asked, his phone already in his hands.
"Don't!" Buzz stopped him.
"I think she just turned it on. I'll make the calls", Buzz ordered and dialed Provenza's number.
"Any news?" Provenza answered his phone.
"I got a location", Buzz got to the point and immediately gave them the coordinates, "If she's where her phone is then she's somewhere between the Hollywood Freeway and that small Valley Village Park. I'll try to call her now, don't hang up, I'll make a conference call."

Andy looked at Provenza with questioning eyes and Provenza turned the phone on speaker.
"What is it?" Andy asked.
"Buzz thinks she just turned her phone on. He got a signal. He'll try to call her again", Provenza recapped.
Andy's heart was pounding when Amy and Michael gathered around Provenza so that they could hear as well.
The seconds never went by so slow. Nobody really expected Sharon to pick up her phone but they were still hoping.

At the same time Sharon was kneeling on the ground with her phone in her hands. She was so relieved that she felt like crying.
She had had no idea how many hours had passed since she first woke up but she finally had felt like her head was getting at least slightly clearer. Sharon was now sure that she had landed in that kind of a ditch that separated a park from the street. She could hear cars nearby but only very slowly made her way out of the green. She was so nauseous that every couple meters she had had to stop moving forwards to vomit and even though she wasn't sure about it, Sharon believed that she had been passing out numerous times in the last hours. While crawling on her knees towards where Sharon had believed the road must be she unexpectedly found her blazer lying near her. "My phone!" she had though and prayed to god that it was still in her pocket where she sometimes put it. It was indeed. She had turned it on with shaking hands and immediately saw that there were dozens of missed calls. Before having time to call someone, the phone rang.

"Yes?"
"Oh my god, Sharon", Andy shouted out before he was able to control his emotions. The relieve was overwhelming not only him but also the rest of the team.
"Mom!" Rusty exclaimed, finally feeling able to breathe.
"Where are you?" Michael asked and at the same time Andy asked: "What happened, are you OK?". Everyone was silent again, waiting for Sharon's answer.
"I, uhm", Sharon whispered barely noticeable.
"Sharon, what's wrong? Where are you? What happened?" Andy asked one question after the other.
"I'm not sure", Sharon answered with a very hoarse voice.
"What do you mean you're not sure?" Rusty stepped in.
On the other side of the line Sharon looked around her surroundings.
"Captain?" Provenza asked.
"I don't know, I can't… I'm in some kind of a ditch near a road", Sharon tried to explain, "I don't know where. I'm trying to get out of here, but…", Sharon said in her calm voice, but this time it was because she felt like she had no energy to even talk.
"That's ok, you can stay where you are Captain, we located your phone and are on the way there. IF we're right what you hear are the cars on the Hollywood Freeway. But don't worry, stay where you are", Provenza said while the team got into their cars.
"Sharon, what happened, are you all right?" Andy asked again. He had taken the phone out of Provenzas hands because he was just starting the car to get to Sharon.
"I don't know", Sharon suppressed tears, "I have no idea what happened."
"Are you OK, mom?" Rusty wanted to know. He was standing in front of Buzz's desk, unable to stay seated.
Sharon didn't want to admit that she felt like a truck had hit her and was searching for the right words.
"MOM?" Rusty didn't have the patience to wait anymore, "I wanna go too", he said to Buzz who shook his head. "I NEED TO GO!"
Sharon overheard her son: "Rusty, I'm ok. Please stay where you are", she pleaded. She had absolutely no desire to have her son see her like this. Her legs were resting in the dirt; her upper body was supported by her left arm while she held the phone with her right hand.
"Mom, please."
Sharon didn't have the power to argue: "Rusty, please do this for me. Please just stay where you are for now."
Rusty knew that he had to give in.
"Ok. I love you, mom."
"Love you too. See you in a bit", Sharon whispered and quickly hung up before her stomach started to rebel again. As soon as Sharon hung up Andy immediately called her again. She felt the phone vibrate in her hand but gave herself a couple of moments until she picked up.
"Hi", she whispered.
"Sharon", Andy said, suppressing a thousand questions that he wanted to ask her, "we are almost there."
"I'm really tired, Andy", Sharon said.
"I know. It's ok, we will be there any minute now. Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Andy asked and Provenza looked at him, eager to find out the answer to that question himself.
"I'm not sure", Sharon sighted as she tried to feel her body but the perception of her own body was still off.
Andy wanted Sharon to keep talking so he asked again: "Are you in any pain? Does anything hurt?"
"My head. My head hurts", Sharon admitted, "and I'm really, really nauseous."
Andy felt with her but was also a little relieved that she felt pain. As long as you feel pain your body didn't give up. Yet.
"What do you see?" Andy asked in an effort to keep her talking again.
"Not much", Sharon whispered, "I'm really, really tired."
"I know, I know. You'll be able to sleep as much as you want as soon as we get you out of there. Now tell me, what do you see?"
"Just dirt and bushes. I'm really sure that there's a street up there but I just can't get up", Sharon said, already forgotten that Provenza had told her where she was, "it's too steep."
"That's ok, I will help you with that as soon as we are there, don't worry about that."
"Please hurry", Sharon suddenly whined when she heard something creak behind her. She couldn't see anything but it scared the hell out of her.
"We are, I promise. You should here sirens by now, we are really close to where Buzz located your phone", Andy promised but Sharon wasn't paying any attention at that moment. She starred towards the direction where the creak had come from and she wasn't sure if her imagination was playing a trick on her or if there really was something moving in the bushes about ten meters away from her. Her breathing became so rapid that Andy noticed it over the phone: "Sharon, do you here the sirens? We are almost there, try to keep calm."

Sharon concentrated on Andy's voice and a few seconds later she could hear them: "I do. I hear you", she whispered.
"Please don't hang up."
"I won't", Andy promised while getting out of the car.
