Well that fluff is now being thrown out of a window because it's back to angst! But don't worry, more fluff to come after this chapter!

"Leah. I am going to disarm this, alright? I'm not going to let anything happen. You're going to go home tonight. Have a beer with your girlfriend. Watch TV. The whole works." I say to Leah. "Team where are the specs?" I ask after walking out of hearing range so Leah can't hear. "We are still looking..." I hear a disgruntled Sam state, I could tell he was looking through papers and maps in a hope to find the right thing. I had stayed to work on the bomb vest on Leah, Sam and Ed had gone to find the bomber and get Spike and I specs because Spike was working on getting a bomb vest disarmed off a high up politician. The bomber had taken Leah when we were all spread out trying to find the politician.

"Get out of here Taylor." Leah states as I move my hands around trying to figure out which wires to cut and not cut. My left hand which holds the cutters, is shaking ever so slightly. The timer counts down still and is at 30 seconds. "GO STONE!" Leah orders this time. "Officer Stone." The boss says slightly agitated. "I can't get the specs. The guy burned them!" Sam yells angrily over the com. I realize Spike has followed orders and retreated out of the building he is in because I hear him yell, "Taylor get out of there. Please." In a desperate tone. I grab my bag, squeeze Leah's hand and look into her eyes one last time, and then bolt down the hallway, down the flight of stairs and outside. The bomb explodes and I'm thrown to the ground in front of the now semi-destroyed building.

*few weeks later*

I wake up and groan as the alarm goes off on the clock. "Time for work. We get a newbie today." Spike says kissing my nose. I sigh. "Hey. I'm sure it's someone great. You know the boss." Spike reassures, seeing the hesitation in my eyes. "How about we get showered and what not and then we can pick up donuts from Timmy's on the way to work? I know they're your favoriteeee." He coos. "Alright alright!" I laugh as he trails kisses down my neck. "Good. Now let's get up." Spike yawns, stretching. He pulls me off the bed and we head to shower. Then he and I get changed. He grabs the car keys and locks the door as we step into the brisk fall air of Toronto.

*at work*

"Alright listen up team! This is Rafik Rousseau. He will be joining us on Team One." The boss announces. We are all gathered in the guys locker room near the storage locker. "You can just call me Raf." The young officer reassures. "Hot call team one! Suspicious package found downtown at the CMC business building." Spike and I high five each other and head off to pack the SUV with Babycakes. "Are they....always like that?" Raf asks. "They get a bit excited when it comes to suspicious packages." Jules smirks. We get the SUV packed and head off.
