A/N: Bonus morning update as I couldn't sleep. Its only a short one though!


Jerry and Oliver were running now. The second gunshot was closer. And they could tell from which direction it came from but then they heard running footsteps coming from behind. They both turned an aimed their guns at the shadow that was running towards them.

"Jesus!" Traci exclaimed. "Don't shoot! It's me!" She held her hands up and ducked her head below the line of fire.

They both held up their guns. "Where is McNally?"

"I dunno…we split up to cover more ground!"

"Seriously?" Oliver asked as he rolled his eyes in despair.

"C'mon, the shots came from over here."

They hurried along the trail to get to the promenade.


"What are you doing here?" Andy asked. She was kneeling behind Sam, cradling his head on her knees. Sam's eyes were closing over and the grip he had on her hand had slackened.

"I'm working on a case," He reached into his pocket and pulled out a switch blade. When he flicked it open she saw that it had a serrated blade. He walked past her to the crouched man who was cuffed on the ground then bent down and cut through the plastic strip cuffs.

"No! Stop!" She yelled out and she moved to stop him but he turned and pointed the rifle at her.

"Don't. Don't even think about messing this up." The stranger got up and dusted himself off. He turned to face Andy with a scowl on his face then walked past her to the car.

"Leave her alone." Andy's voice was low and steady. She shook Sam and he woke with a start. His eyes were wide with fear and confusion. She helped him sit up and backed away from him. She kept her eyes on the agent with the rifle but her peripheral vision was watching the man by the car. He was kneeling into the back seat, adjusting the young girl who was lying there.

"Ok…" she heard Sam whisper and she knew he was ready. He turned over onto all fours and got ready to pounce. Andy gave him a push and turned herself towards the man at the car.

"I'll shoot!" The OPP agent said but before he could aim the cumbersome weapon Sam had fallen on him, tossing his aim aside. With little or no coordination all Sam could hope for was that he would delay him enough to give Andy time to fight the other man. Sam grappled with his good arm, held the agent around the torso as tight as he could and ducked his head from the barrage of punches the agent was throwing.

Andy connected both of her hands into a fist and brought it down as hard as she could on the other man's back. He arched back in pain and yelled out. When he turned she didn't give him a chance and threw a punch at his head. He blocked it with a raised arm and swung a punch of his own but Andy ducked. When she was low to the ground she saw the bat he had used on her earlier and she picked it up and swung it in an arch motion to catch him under his chin. Her flew back with the impact and his head connected with the roof of the car. He was out cold. She turned her attention to Sam and the OPP agent who had managed to wriggle free.

Sam was lying on the ground panting and the OPP was trying to gain his footing and steady his weapon. Andy sprinted over an tackled him to the ground. She used the bat as leverage and held him at bay. With her knees on his arms and the bat pressed under his chin he was immobilized.

"Sam?" she asked as she turned and saw him unmoving. His eyes were closed his mouth was open but she could see his chest moving up and down with the shallow breaths he was taking. Panic was rising up from her belly but there was nothing she could do. She patted her pockets but she had no cuffs left. Then she heard the footsteps. All running fast towards her and a sinking feeling fell through her.

Jerry got through the pathway first to the park and onto the beach front where the car was parked. He immediately clocked the scene, holstered his weapon and rushed over to Sam.

"Sammy…buddy…hold on!"

When Oliver came up next he came to Andy's side. He pulled some cuffs from his pocket and helped Andy roll over the OPP agent then cuffed his hands behind his back. As soon as he was secured she rushed over to be beside Sam. She took his hand and was horrified by how cold he was. She took off her jacket an draped it over him, unsure if it would make a difference.

"Anyone have any cell reception?" Jerry asked as he checked his own phone.

"I have a radio!" Traci called and she pulled a mobile police radio from her inside pocket. She tossed it to Jerry who called it in.

"I need a 10-52 at beach front promenade in Frenchman's Bay East park. 10-78 Emergency."

"Copy that. On its way." Came the reply but it did nothing to sooth Andy's fears. She rubbed his hands as if she could transfer from heat into him. Traci came up behind her and knelt down with her with an arm draped over his shoulder.

Oliver went over to inspect the other man who was lying down and cuffed him too. Then he saw the girl.

"Jesus…" he checked her out and saw a small puncture wound on her neck from an injection. "Jesus Christ what happened here?"

Jerry came over to see what he was looking at and rubbed his face with both hands. HE turned on the radio again. "10-35 at Frenchman's Bay East park."

"Copy that, 3 available units en route."

When the ambulance arrived the 2 EMTs pushed Andy aside and started work on Sam immediately.

"When did he lose consciousness?"

"About 7 minutes ago."

"He's in shock…pulse is 140 and thready. BP 50/30." One of them said.

"We have to take him in now…he's cyanotic, pulse is weakening. Move! Now!"

The first EMT rolled Sam onto his side as the other shoved a backboard under him. They lifted him onto a gurney and brought him to the back of the ambulance. Andy made to go with him but Oliver held her back.

"McNally no, we need you here to explain what happened."

"I'm not leaving him alone, Oliver!"

"Andy..." Traci led her away from the ambulance with an arm around her shoulders. "He is going to the ER then directly into surgery. There is nothing you will be able to do for him at the hospital. Help us understand what happened here and then I will drive you there myself...okay?"

Andy watched as the EMTs closed the ambulance doors and slowly she nodded her head. "Okay, but lets make it fast.


A/N: More to come later. Possibly the final chapter. Awww :(
