Solve My Heart (GxG)

Chapter Eight

Anna and I are currently on a plain-clothed surveillance detail for some class A dealers.

Harris says it's supposed to help with my training but I think she's still mad at me.

"Joey's on the move. Usual green hoodie and black trousers." Anna spoke on the radio.

This wasn't particularly unusual. Joey or as we like to call him, broccoli, tends to walk up and down the street a few times before returning to his humble abode.

"Hold on, who's that?" Anna questioned, zooming in on the camera to get a better look, "Shit."

"What is it?" I asked, my interest suddenly peaked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." She smiled.

Then she did something I did not see coming, she got out of the bloody car.

Now Harris told us specifically to stay in the car and I ain't about to get in more shit with her so I think I'll keep my ass inside.

A little while later, the car door opened again and a very frustrated Anna got in.

"What's up?" I smiled.

"Nothing, just Harris taking a 'family day' at the most inconvenient time."

"So the usual?"

"Yup." She laughed.

Suddenly I felt a sharp, cold and weirdly wet sensation in my upper chest.

"Shit, Rory!" Anna cried out, ducking under the dash and reaching for the radio, "I need backup immediately."

The tingly sensation started to travel all over my body as the sounds of multiple shots were getting duller and duller.

"What happened?" I heard Harris mumble on the radio.

"Rory's been shot."

The sky was getting darker as if I was travelling through time.

The only sound was the muffled shouts between two familiar voices.

"How the fuck did you not see the car?"

"I was distracted!"

"She could fucking die Anna."

"I mean as far as I can tell it missed her heart and lungs."

"Where's the ambulance?"

"On their way."

"When I find that bastard I'm gonna rip them apart."

Then everything went dark for a second.

When I opened my eyes they burned like hell, as if I hadn't seen a single bit of light for hours.

Fuck this, I prefer darkness.

I relaxed a bit when my eyes shut again.

That was until I heard four footsteps charging toward me.

"I swear I heard the beeping get faster," Will said frantically.

"Well, maybe you're just delusional."

Is that? Harris?

There was an obnoxiously fast beeping coming from beside me.

"See I told you."

I imagine Will had his smug grin plastered all over his face.

"I'll get the nurse." He said, light footsteps fading away.

God, why does my body feel so damn heavy?

I tried to move my finger but it was too much effort.

"Wake the fuck up. I need you to solve this case." She huffed.

Oh okay chill, let me just hop on up and do a flip.

The fuck she expect me to do?

"If you wake up now, I'll be nice to you."

Is she trying to bribe me right now?

"Beckett, if you don't wake up soon I'm gonna make your life a living hell." Harris threatened a little while later.

I couldn't help but cough out a laugh whilst attempting to speak, "You've already made my life a living hell."

God, why do I sound so groggy?

"You're awake?" She let out a relieved sigh.

"Turn the bloody lights off." I hoarsely groaned.

I heard a pitter-patter and then the flick of a light switch.

Finally, I gained the courage to open my eyes again.

"Well hello there." I grinned.

Even in the dim light, I could see a smile creep on her face, "Hello."

I must be dreaming...

"Rory?" Will spoke out.

Harris cleared her throat and took a step back.

"You're awake!" He squealed, turning the lights on.

"Ow! What the fuck Will?" I groaned, covering my eyes.

"Andouille," Harris muttered, turning the lights off again.

"Did you say something?" Will questioned.

"Tu as le QI d'une huitre" She tutted.

I'm sorry what?

"This is the weirdest fucking dream..."

"If this is a dream then why is she here?" Will said confused.

"Don't ask stupid questions, William." I sighed.

She tutted again, "You're both idiots. As soon as you feel better I expect you in my office."

And with that, she was gone.

"I'm confused, is this a dream or not?" I asked.

"Fuck if I know... I'll go get the doctor just in case it isn't." Will shrugged.

Fuck my life.
