The SUV was barely in park before we all jumped out, ducking behind our doors as we started shooting.

Our vehicles, along with the police cruisers, blocked one exit as SWAT blocked the other. Our focus was split between the men running inside the building and towards the helicopter. Everyone's focus shifted as it started to take off, unloading our clips into it. The helicopter went up in a ball of fire and smoke before hitting the ground.

We all stepped towards it, holstering our weapons. I looked around us, analyzing the scene. All of the anarchists were either dead or in cuffs, so I took a moment to breathe.

I spun on my heel and made my way to Aaron, who was staring at me intently.

"Are you okay?" He asked as I threw my arms around his neck, burrowing my face in his shoulder as his arms wrapped around my waist.

"This has been the longest goddamn day of my life." I felt his chest vibrate as he chuckled. I let my heels fall to the ground as I pulled away from him, cupping his face between my hands, "Are you okay?"

"I've been locked away in an interrogation room all day while you've been chasing bad guys. I think you should answer first." A faint smile ghosted his lips as I shook my head, sighing.

"I'm okay."

"Then I am too." He pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead as we moved back towards the SUVs, everyone preparing to return to the office.

Aaron and I trailed behind JJ as we entered the office. Will met her half way, greeting her with a kiss and hug. They separated as we approached them.

"Is it over?" Will asked.

"Hope so." Aaron shook his hand, a silent thank you for taking care of Jack.

"Where are the boys?" JJ asked and Will pointed to Aaron's office.

Aaron shoved the door open and moved towards Jack, who was sitting at the desk, coloring. JJ moved towards Henry, who was asleep on the couch.

"Hey." Aaron spoke casually, but I could feel his nervousness.

"Hey." Jack replied, not looking up from his paper.

"What're you doin'?"

"Drawing."

"Can I take a look?"
