Altruism | Part Four : Love

Episode Sixteen

Previously on The Rookie...

"oh, honey, you trust too easily, do you really think Davion just so easily changed his mind?" The woman asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Davion?" Ana inquires, turning around to see Davion behind her, a gun pointed at Jack's head. "w-what are you doing?"

"It's pathetic, honestly, no wonder why all of your friends have to constantly protect you" The woman continues, walking towards Ana.

"¡No, mija! ¡empújanos!" Jose instructs when Ana starts to climb in. (no, darling! push us!)

Ana obeys, struggling as she pushes the raft into the water, having to fight the waves. Her long skirt is soaking in the sea water and the police run into the water to grab them. Finally Ana gets past the waves, moving to climb into the raft.

One of the policemen grab her skirt to hold her back while Mario scratches at Ana's hand. The poorly sewn skirt rips and Ana is able to climb into the raft. Jose uses a paddle to move them further and further away from the police.

Ana looks down at her hand, seeing the scratches. Ana presumes that Mario was trying to help her into the raft. She looks back to see the police cursing and misses the disappointed look all four grandparents have.

"Ana trusts everyone she meets and Davion is supposedly the first person to betray that trust, but the question is, are there others who don't deserve her trust? others who could be anywhere" Angela explains.

"including in this room" Tim finishes, clutching Ana closer to his chest.

"Ana, te extrañamos." Carmen gushes, hugging Ana. (Ana, we missed you).

"Yo también os extrañé, ¿qué están haciendo aquí?" Ana asks, confused, hesitantly hugging back. (I missed you too, what are you all doing here?)

"La residencia de ancianos nos echó porque no hacías los pagos." Esmerelda explains. (The retirement home kicked us out, you weren't making the payments.)

[Now...]

Ana wakes up much later to Tim shaking.

Ana opens her eyes, blearily, thinking it's a nightmare and she looks over at him, only to see him having a seizure and foam spilling out of his mouth.

Ana only takes a second to react, turning him on over to his side and immediately reaching for her phone. Her hands are trembling as she types in 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" A male's voice asks over the phone.

"My boyfriend is having a seizure, he's not diagnosed with epilepsy and doesn't take any medication that should cause it, I'm at 9860 Angels Drive, suite 98" Ana rushes out over the phone.

"An ambulance is on the way, turning him onto his side" The man instructs.

"I've already done so, me and my boyfriend are cops, I'm Officer Ana Cabrera badge number 41996" Ana explains over the phone.

"Ana?" The man realizes who it is.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, do I know you?" Ana asks.

"I'm Wyatt, we met at the hospital" Wyatt explains.

"Oh, hi, Wyatt" Ana says.

"Code 8, I repeat Code 8" Ana hears Wyatt say over the intercom.

"What's code 8?" Ana asks.
