A/N thank you all for being so patient!! I've been really busy and I haven't had time to write very much, but I'm back! Thank you for all your wonderful comments and all the support!! It's means a lot to me! Anyway, back to the story...

Erin woke up to the sound of a car engine. "What the hell?" She mumble to herself. She was lying on her side, her hands tied behind her back. The air was stuffy and thin, her lungs craving fresh air. By the muffled sound of traffic, she assumed she was in the trunk driving down a busy street, maybe a highway. When she tried to move, she was stopped by the overwhelming pain in her joints. She ached everywhere. Her arms, her legs, her head. Through the muffled sounds of traffic, Erin could hear the all too familiar wail of police sirens. It's weird how a sound that can bring some people fear and panic could bring her such peace and comfort. She longed for her team, her partner. Jay. His name alone brought tears to her eyes, an aching to her heart. Suddenly, the physical pain didn't seem to matter anymore. She couldn't shake his face out of her mind. "I'm so sorry" she whispered. "I'm so sorry. I love you." She remembered something that had happened several weeks ago.

"Caitlyn was asking about you" Erin poured coffee into the mug Jay held in his outstretched hand.
"Oh, yeah. Tell her I say hi" Jay replied half-heartedly.
"So no interest on your part" Erin looked over at him as she grabbed the sugar.
"She's super sweet, but, my loss." Jay replied, taking a sip of his steaming beverage.
"You" Erin pointed as she began to walk out of the breakdown. "I am never setting you up again"
What? Why not? Jay retorted, following her out.
Erin turned around. "Because you don't know a good thing when you see it" she teased.

The car jolted to a stop, snapping Erin back into reality. A car door opened and closed, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. "Here we go" she whispered. But unlike the last time she had spoken those words, she was all alone.
