The rookie (reader x rookie characters)

Chapter 2-

The next day went pretty normal. Me and Nolan answered a few distress calls and a few people being complete asses in the street.

Nothing out of the normal when you think about it.

Until we got a call that afternoon about a woman that had been kidnapped and was being held hostage.

I look at Nolan "lets do this" I say as we start speeding to the address given to us by dispatch.

When we arrive at the home we it looks abandoned, cast away.. How can people let places just perish like this..

We exit the vehicle and go to the trunk of the car, opening it and putting a protective vest on just in case things got bad. I get my radio out as Nolan proceeds to gather some extra equipment.

"Dispatch this is 7-Adam-15, we have arrived at the scene, making entry in a few seconds"

I slip my radio back into its holder and grab my gun, looking at Nolan we walk towards the front door and knock. "LAPD open up!"

Silence.

I nod at Nolan and he kicks the door in. I then start heading inside the building. I check one room and signal Nolan to walk into the next. I follow hastily behind him as we enter the living room.

Nolan suddenly stops and I stand next to him, analysing the scene in front of us.

"Sir drop the gun!" I start saying as Nolan grabs his radio.

"This is 7-Adam-15 requesting backup at 10 southweild boulavard.. suspect is armed with a gun."

"7-Adam-15 sending backup to your location"

I hear as I stare at the man in front of me. The woman tied to a chair with tape covering her mouth. "Sir drop the gun. Now."

He looks at me dead in the eyes. "No! I can't!"

"Adam Stanley, 34 years old. Married to  Sandra Stanley, you have one child"

He looks at me confused "How- how do you know who I am"

"I know everything about you Adam... now put the gun down."

Adam looks at the woman and then at me, Still holding my gun up I count "Adam.. you have 3 seconds.. 1...2..."

Just before I get to three I hear a gun shot. I look at the woman to see her absolutely fine. That's when it hit me. The pain shooting through my abdomen. Just below my vest.

My legs give way and I fall to the wooden floor. I feel Nolan rush to my side and grab his radio "Dispatch I need an RA to my location! Officer down! I repeat officer down !"

He puts his radio away and puts pressure on my abdomen and I wince.

"Nolan go! Get Adam!"

"No! In staying here with you" He replies putting even more pressure on my stomach.

My hearing starts to drown out. Like I'm under water trying to listen to someone above.

"Stay... me... come on..."

I look up at Nolan and blink. Closing my eyes. The last thing I hear is the sirens coming down the street as I pass out.

My eyes start to get lighter, my hearing coming back. Ugh what is that annoying beeping. My eyes slowly flutter open and I tilt my head to the side.

"Hey.." I croak out. My voice extremely hoarse.

"Hey.. thank god you're okay" Nolan says. "Doc says they managed to get the bullet out but it's gonna be a while until you're back on the streets-"

I look at him and nod "have you been here this whole time?" I ask, questioning him.

"No..." he replies. I laugh knowing he's lying.

"Thank you... for saving my life officer Nolan.. you did a good job-"

"No- don't thank you- you saved that woman's life and mine." He shoot's back. I yawn and look down at myself.
I was wearing a hospital gown with a white hospital blanket over the top of me. I notice a blanket from my house but the only person who was a key to my house is Tim-

"Get some rest.. I'll be right here" Nolan tells me. I nod, feeling exhausted. I let my eyes fall closed, knowing I'm alive....
