Author's Note: Hey guys!! I'm super excited for this! I have recently become obsessed with Flashpoint (the show and the fanfics lol), and this is my first time writing one, and actually my first time writing a fanfic of any kind!! I love to write, so I decided to combine two things I love, writing and Flashpoint, lol! I really hope you guys enjoy it!
Please review and let me know what you think! I already somewhat know where this story is going, but if you want to see anything specific let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Just to let you guys know, if you are one who loves JAM (Jules/Sam relationship) then you won't find that here. I don't like how their relationship is portrayed in the show, which means I have a really hard time writing about it, so I don't lol.
This takes place after Lou dies, and while Sam and Jules are not dating, but before Wordy leaves.
Chapter 1:
"Team One, Hot Call!" Winnie called as the klaxon alarm sounded. The most elite team of the Strategic Response Unit geared up for their first call of the day, and raced down to the SUVs.
Jules and Leah in one, Greg and Ed in another, Wordy and Sam in the last, and Spike bringing up the rear in the command truck.
Greg called out over the comms "Winnie, details."
"The address is a 456 Spring Road, house belongs to a Joseph Anderson. 911 caller is a 5 year old girl named Emma Anderson, presumably the owner's daughter. She says her dad has a gun and is looking for her. She is hiding in the closet in her brother's room. Says her mom and 11 year old brother are also in the house. She's still on the line but is quiet right now, I told her only to talk if it's safe."
"Thanks, Winnie. Patch her through" he pauses.
"She's on Boss," she replies.
"Emma, my name is Greg Parker I'm a police officer. Are you safe right now?"
He almost couldn't hear the whispered response, "he's coming, he's going to find me! Please help." Soft sobs came after that, and each member of the team felt the little girl's fear deep in their hearts.
"Emma, we are on our way to your house right now. We'll be there soon. It's going to be okay sweetheart."
Just then they heard angry shouts on the other end of the line, "EMMA! WHERE ARE YOU?! YOU BETTER COME OUT RIGHT NOW OR I WILL HURT YOUR BROTHER AND MOM!"
Emma said "He's going to hurt them. I have to go..."
"Emma, wait!" Greg's calls were left unanswered because the little girl had already hung up the phone. Each team member silently cursed as the heaviness of the situation hit them.
They had two children and their mother being held hostage by their father, and they didn't know what state of mind he was in, or what caused him to lose it and take his family hostage or anything.
Three minutes later, they pulled to a stop a couple blocks down the street from the house.
Ed declared "Jules, you're the Boss's second, help him negotiate and cover him. Leah, help Jules cover the Boss. Spike, command truck, do some research and find out what has sent this guy over the edge. Wordy, we need eyes and ears in. Sam, you cover the back exit. I'll cover the east exit, where the garage is."
A chorus of "Copy that" flooded his ears as everyone ran off to do their jobs. Wordy grabbed the equipment needed and got the team ears in while he was working on getting the snake cam in place.
"Guys I've got ears in."
Angry shouts filled their headsets and they all listened closely to try and determine what was going on inside.
"I can't believe you would do this to me! After all I've done and sacrificed for my family and this is how you show your appreciation?! I deserve better than this!"
Wordy got the cam in place, and it showed an angry man pacing the living room floor with a gun in his hand, his wife kneeling in the middle of the floor, hands bound behind her back, mouth duct taped and tears silently flowing down her cheeks. A young boy was cradling a small girl in his arms sitting in the corner of the room, and shielding her eyes from the scene unfolding in front of them.
Spike's voice filled the headsets, "Boss I found something.
"Go ahead, Spike."
"2 months ago Joesph lost his job at a law firm. According to bank records, he has recently opened multiple lines of credit and has a lot of debt. 30 days ago Joseph's wife, Linda filed for divorce. The divorce papers were served to him yesterday."
Greg took off his hat and rubbed his head. "Thanks, Spike. Alright team, I'm going to call in." He dialed Joseph's cell phone number and waited. After many rings, he was about to hang up when someone picked up the phone. "Hello? This is Sargent Greg Parker with the Police Strategic Response Unit. Am I speaking with Joseph Anderson?"
"You people need to leave me alone! This is a personal issue and it doesn't involve you!"
"Joseph, I just want to talk to you, tell me what is going on. Is everyone okay in there?"
"Yeah, everyone's okay... for now." And with that, the line went dead.
My writing style usually includes many cliffhangers, so... sorry not sorry, that's just how I roll :D
Please review and let me know what you think so far!
