Johnston's Past

The next day, the new agents were assign to a mission. They were assigned to write an essay about one of the agents, with the list they provided for them. The agents that were in this special assignment was:
Jesse Sanchez
Brad Johnston
Agent Freddie
Agent Kitty
They all met up in the one of the conference rooms, so the new agents were able to pair up with the senior agents.  As the the four agents sat and waited for everyone to settle down, Freddie look at Jesse. Kitty notice and look at the same direction.
"Is something wrong, Freddie?" She ask.
"No, I just wondering what kind of past Jesse live through. I mean, she rarely talks about it until this day." He said as he look at Kitty.
"Well, we will find out if she actually talks about it. She always avoids those questions." said Kitty.

First agent stand up from her seat and start to ask her questions. Her name was Stacey Jackson, who is a straight A's student, very athletic, and have simple personality.
"This is for Agent Johnston. What was the first mission you were remember when you were our age or level?" She ask. Brad's eyes widen. Everyone in the room stay silent as they waited for his answer. Brad sighs and look directly at the agent.
"In 2011, I was only 16 years old when I was team up with Agent Sanchez. Our first mission was to capture the most deadly criminal in our state. His name was Jack Demo. He was convicted for raping and murdering 16 teenage girls. We were in man hunt. Witnesses stated that he was hiding in the woods, where a small neighborhood was located. The area was in hard lock down." He said as he started to tell the story.
-2011 Johnston's P.O.V:-
Jesse and I were searching for the criminal in the woods. As we search, my radio started to beep. The criminal have been spotted. They sent us the information and location. We started head out to the location When we were close to our destination, I realized that the criminal was near my home, where my girlfriend and my unborn son were at. I notice Jesse was rushing to get into the area. I was trying catch up to her, hoping they were alright.
When we arrive, Jesse bust the door open and pulled out her gun as she search the area. I followed her. Then I hear voices near one of the rooms. We stay still and listen.
"PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!" It was my girlfriend. It sounded it came from the kitchen. We head to the direction and point our guns towards him.
"Freeze Jack Demo! We have you surrounded. Let go of that girl!" Order Jesse as she gets closer to the criminal. I was getting nervous. Jack stay were he was still pointing his gun at my girlfriend.
"One more step, and this woman is dead." He said with a cold smirk. I quietly shift to get closer to my girl. Jesse stand still and continue point her gun at him. As I got closer enough, I simply nod to Jesse and she nod back. Suddenly, the battle begun. Jesse was able to grab hold of Jack as  I grab my girlfriend and ran off. Shots were fired. We duck down and I use my body to protect my pregnant girlfriend. Bullets were flying in the air. I close my eyes tightly as I hold my girl close.
Then there was a long silence.
"Ralph, Jack Demo is dead. I repeat, Jack Demo is dead." Jesse radio in. 
"Roger, Agent Sanchez." I sigh with relief. I got up. Kayla look at me and smile. She look a bit pale. I look at my shoulder and I was cover in blood. It was odd at first since I  see any bullet wounds on me.  Then I realized, my girlfriend had a wound on her chest, near her heart. My eyes widen and I yelled our for Jesse.
"Jesse!!! Kayla is injured!" I yell as I press on her wound. Jesse came quickly and check on her pulse.
"It's getting low. Kayla hold on, help is coming this way. Please hold on." She said as she pull out her knife to take out the bullet.
"Brad..is our son going to be okay?" Kayla ask as she hold my hand. I nodded and hold her hand tightly.
"Yes, honey." I said to her. Jesse start to take out the bullet carefully. Kayla was screaming in pain and big puddles of blood spill on the floor. Once the bullet was out, Jesse quickly wrap a bandage tightly to stop the bleeding.
"What's taking so long?" I ask as I carefully pick up Kayla.
"Brad...I see a light." Kayla said. Jesse and I stare at each other. We both nodded and we head out.
"Hold on Kayla." I said as we use our 3D maneuvers to get out of the woods.
"Nickerson! We need medic help on the way. Kayla Fisherman is injured. Roger!" Jesse said over the radio.
"Copy, say your coordinates."
"Two blocks away from the S.W.A.T."
"Got it! Help is on the way." Once we got there, I went in the ambulance with Kayla. I watch as the paramedics do their job. I was hold her hand tightly.
"Brad...if I-I don't make it, please....make sure they save our son..." said Kayla. My eyes watered and nodded.
"Don't worry, Kayla. You will be fine. You will be fine..." I said to her. She smile weakly.
"I...love..." Her hand went limp as I hold her hand. The monitors started to beep.
"We are losing her! Quick, put her in the respiratory machine now!" Order one of the paramedics. I watch in horror.
"Kayla! Wake up! Kayla!"
-End of Flashback and P.O.V-

"After we arrived at the hospital, my girlfriend was pronounced dead, but my son survive. It was the last time I would ever talk to her, last time I hold her close, the last time I heard I love you from her. I came home completing one mission to just lose the love of my life." Brad said as he finished his story. The agents in the room were quiet. Some sniff. Brad look at them and hold back his emotions.
"Anymore questions?" He ask. Then another agent stood up.
