Ashleighs POV
Me and Riggs were still up in the bathroom with Rog and now a handful of other people. As for keeping it quiet, well let's just say that the several sirens and shouting people are the opposite of that.
Rog was still sitting on the toilet, with a rather disapproving look on his face.
Despite this being a serious situation Riggs couldn't help but keep smirking at me.
"Hey we'll be back in a minute Rog"Riggs said grabbing my hand as we left the room
"We're are we going?" I asked
"Okay listen, I'm gonna stay behind with Rog, you have to stay outside okay promise me" he said pulling me into one of the quieter rooms in the house
"Riggs-," I started
"No, promise me" he continued
"I'll see you in ten minutes" I said, already trying to tell him they were going to be fine
There was no way he was going to leave Rog alone. And I really don't want to be there when they finally get him off the toilet.
"Oh you'll enjoy this" I said pointing up the corridor to Riggs 'favourite' physiatrists
"Great" he said walking back towards the bathroom.
Just as she was about to walk into the bathroom I saw instant regret across her face.
Riggs put his finger up to his lips and snuck up behind her.
"Riggs!" She said alarmed how closely behind her he was "of course where there's on there's the other."
I gave her a sarcastic smile, knowing she didn't like me.
We headed back into the bathroom. Riggs sat on the edge of the bath and I stood next to the bomb squad leader.
Rog still seemed to be smiling, I think we were all just trying to lighten the mood. Especially since I knew now that there were would be nothing I could do about it.
"Okay it's ready to come out" one of the officers said removing the complete sink and unit.
"Hey, hey" Rog said "I have to live in this house"
"Not the biggest concern right now Rog"
"Okay were gonna clear this room" the bomb squad Leander said aiming it at Riggs
Two of the other men in the room left. But me and Riggs stayed.
"Come on Riggs" he said
"Uh uh" Riggs shook his head
"Riggs you too" he said more sternly this time
"No" Riggs said grabbing my hand pulling me along next to him, just to make sure I didn't leave yet.
"Riggs out" he repeated yet again
This time Riggs said nothing and just stared in the mans eyes emotionlessly. Rog gave me a worried look and I tried to give him my best reassuring smile.
"Alright"he said finally giving up knowing Riggs wanted to stay "Sargent I want you to dive into the tub, when you do pull the bomb blanket down over your head. This is a good old cast iron tub it'll withstand one hell of a blast"
"He can't" Riggs said shaking his head
"Why?" The man asked starting to get impatient
"He can't his legs. He's been on there 18-20 hours he can't even walk let alone jump into a tub" I explained
"Which is why I'm gonna have to stick around here and help him" Riggs added
"Alright you better take this" he said removing his own bomb jacket and handing it to Riggs "how are we doing on the nitrogen"
"Almost there" the other member of the bomb squad who was in the room said "now what he's doing Sargent is spraying this thing with liquid nitrogen, that should give you a good second or two before detonation. You got that sarg?"
"A second or two thanks a lot" Rog muttered
"Okay Williams let's go" the bomb squad leader said
"Riggs" I said giving him a slightly worried look.
"I'll see you in five minutes"he said giving me a wink.
I suddenly found myself throwing my arms around his neck.
"Five minutes" I whispered
"Hey" he said taking his gun out of his back pocket "I'll be back down to get that"
I made my way down the stairs, legs shanking with every step I took.
I was greeted outside by a mad swarm of people running around and shouting. Police officer, paramedics, fire fighters, civilians.
Riggs PoV
The bomb squad leader left the room leaving only me and Rog alone.
"Well" I said taking a deep breath, already feeling the adrenaline kick in "alone at last"
"Why didn't they plant the bomb in Trish's stove?" He asked smirking
"Think of all the needless suffering that could've ended right there" I said laughing
Even though we were both laughing then there was still a feeling of dread in the air.
"I'm gonna die in the toilet aren't I?" He asked
"No. No" I shook my head "guys like you don't die on toilets. Besides I'm here and I don't plan on going anywhere yet"
"You still gotta tell a particular Sargent your in love with her" he smirked
"Come off it Rog. Just because we don't try to kill eachother now doesn't mean i love her" i rolled my eyes
"Whatever you say man" he said he said putting his hands up "you ready?"
Ashleighs POV
I went over and stood next to one of the cop cars. I could feel my legs shaking. In fact it wasn't just my legs, my whole body was trembling.
"Hey hey hey" I heard a very irritating voice say
"WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT NOW?!" I shouted, feeling my stress rise
"I just wanted to say, they're going to be alright Sargent. They wouldn't leave you" Leo said
"Oh" I said now feeling a wave of guilt come over me " thank you Leo. Sorry for snapping at you it's just that..."
"I know" he said with a reassuring smile
"Your alright you know" I said giving him a friendly nudge
"Thank you Sargent it means a lot" he smiled
"Call me Ashleigh" I smiled back. I certainly wasn't used to this side of Leo. The less annoying side that is. I suppose he really was a nice enough guy, I'm grateful for him taking my mind off this.
"Alright get ready" I heard one of the bomb squad members say
The nerves kicked in again and I felt a sudden urge to run inside. One of the other officers caught my arm as I tried .
We all waited for a few more seconds before the bomb went off. I went completely numb. The windows were completely obliterated and the toilet had flown out of the windows and landed on Rog's car.
"Riggs!" I said managing to get out of the officers grip.
I got upstairs into the bathroom, despite boing shouted at be several people on the way, and found a completely alive Murtaugh and Riggs.
"Thank fuck your alright" I said pulling them both into a hug.
"You didn't really think I was gonna die did you?" Riggs laughed
"Crazy bastard" I laughed handing him his gun
The three of us made our way back down the stairs. Me and Riggs helping Murtaugh, since his legs weren't working properly.
"Some serious shit you three pulled there" the captain said greeting us with stern looks. "Go home and have the day off"
"But the case" Riggs objected
"Not now. I need to know you three aren't just gonna suddenly drop dead. Go home" he repeated "but by all means be at work at 6 tomorrow morning"
