Imagine you heard about Tom dying .

Leah, " I look through my binoculars out the window of my car. Jesus, I wondered how long this was going to take it had practically been 1.5 hours since I last saw them go in that hotel .

** radio static than an incoherent voice comes through the dispatcher ** captain Adam Fuller- Leah I say where are you? **

Leah, I put my binoculars down on the seat beside me, and I pick up the radio cap. I'm sitting here waiting for hanson and penhall. Why, what's up? "

Adam" Leah, I have some bad news."

Leah, " I pause.. I suddenly got a sinking feeling in my stomach. What's wrong?

Adam" Leah, I sigh hanson and penhall... my voice sort of cracks they're dead. "

Leah, I don't say anything at first. I then bring the radio closer to me. Shut up. Don't tell me that I just saw them a few hours ago.. they can't be, I say, shaking my head in denial. "

Adam, " they're dead. I'm very sorry. "

Leah, " I turn my radio off of, and I just can't believe. I get out of my car and I'm running as far as my feet can take me I take the key out of my pocket the one I got from the hotel lobby and I open the door that had bullet holes on it. Nothing really prepared me for what I was about to see. All I saw was everything shot up, and then I looked at the floor two pools of blood that right sort of confirmed it for me . "

Leah, I just sank to the floor. Tears just fell from my eyes. How I did I lose two of the best people I've ever known? In the span of 5 hours. This was the worst undercover case ever .

5 days later

Leah, I just sat in my apartment. I couldn't do this at all.. my best friends were gone, and this was it. After today, they'd be gone forever. I was saying goodbye to them this just didn't feel right. It just didn't sit right with me but I got up and I slugged on my jacket as slowly as possible, then my shoes also slowly I felt like I was moving in slow motion I just couldn't comprehend all this . I eventually got to the funeral and it was a beautiful service, but it broke my heart into a million pieces I saw hansons mom there and I just immediately went over and gave her a hug and tried to console her the best I could .

Mrs Hanson " Thank you for coming, Leah. I know Tom would have loved for you to do that . "

Leah Of course Mrs Hanson I wouldn't miss this ever I know Tom would want me to be here I say with tears falling down my face. So, umm, can you direct me to where he is, please ?

Mrs Hanson sure dear he's over there I dab a tissue I have in my hands at my eyes .

Leah " thank you I then turn around and as soon as I did it didn't feel right at all I felt like I was weighed down by rocks as I walked up to his coffin as soon as I saw him the bullet hole through his neck tears just fell from my eyes. Oh Tom, I touched his hands, and tears fell onto them I'm so sorry it shouldn't of ended like this I lay a rose on him then I kiss his cheek I'll never forget you I can promise you that . There was something so beautiful about him laying there though he looked so at peace especially when I think back to all the times he told me he was struggling in this profession and how he wanted to quit his job as an undercover cop and just settle down it hurts my heart he'll never get to do that sort of thing but at least I know he'll be somehow at peace truly now .

Judy, I walk over to Leah. I put a hand on her shoulder, "Oh Leah, when I heard the news, I'm so sorry I say hugging her."

Leah, it's ok. I say my voice cracks a little. I pull away from Judy. I just can't believe they're gone .

Judy" Yeah, me neither, but hey, we had some very good times with them

Leah, yeah, I say, laughing as I wipe my tears away. Yeah, we did... I just unfair. I'm going to miss Tom so much and him making me laugh.

Judy Me too, that boy was special and he was one of a kind. I smile

Leah, " Yeah, so was Doug. I'm going to miss them both.
