Summary
Lucy thought she understood the cost of doing the right thing. Tim thought he understood the limits of professional concern. But when a hit on his rookie puts Lucy in mortal danger and tragedy strikes closer than either imagined possible, everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other will be tested in ways neither saw coming.

Summary
What would Tim Bradford do if he woke up one day and realized the life he remembered wasn’t the one he was living?
-----
The door creaks open mid-sentence, and Tim’s words falter immediately. Lucy steps into the room, and her presence is like a sudden shift in the air. Finally, they can get out of here. His full attention slides her, but all previous frustration he felt is momentarily eclipsed by something else.She’s been crying. It’s written all over her face, plain as day. Her eyes are red and glassy, the faint puffiness beneath them in addition to her slightly pink nose making her look far more vulnerable than he’s used to seeing. Even her posture betrays her; she’s standing too stiffly, her arms wrapped tightly around her midsection as though she’s holding herself together by sheer will alone.
Angela might actually have a point.
If he didn’t feel bad enough before, he sure does now.

Damn it.
Lucy slowly dropped her gun, moving only as much as absolutely necessary. Not that she could actually move a lot; the spindly arm wrapped around her body dug painfully into her stomach.
What had started out as a call to check on suspicious noises coming from a family home had turned into a foot pursuit of a suspected burglar. Because of the confusing layout of the maze of back alleys they were pursuing him through, Lucy had called for backup, which had arrived in the form of Tim and Miles. More backup was on the way; there were simply too many ways to escape.
They had split up in order to funnel their suspect back to the main road where backup would be waiting to cut him off. Tim had sent Miles with Lucy, for whatever reason (although some sort of Tim Test was always a good guess), while he had taken Seth to approach from the other direction.
Lucy was pretty sure that Tim was regretting that decision.

Summary
Tim forced himself to enter the ICU room, each step heavier than before, carrying their girl in one of his arms as the other grabbed the door tightly until his knuckles turned white.
"It's okay Lu... you can let go,"
