Zara looked at the SRU building it had taken all of her resolve to come here today, But it needed deserved so much better. He was a good man, the best she had ever known. Today she would tell him about her biggest betrayal and this time there would be no forgiveness. In the past it seemed Sam just out right forgave her anything, he always told her that no one mattered more.

Looking at the picture of her 18 month baby Zara gathered her courage and entered the building. People were going about their business and here she stood like a statue in front of the reception desk. Winnie finished her call and smiled brightly at her. The older woman began asking a myriad of questions.

It had been a hellish day for team one a fourteen hour hostage situation had led to several fatalities, 7 women; 3 men and two children had died. It was always difficult when children were involved. It seemed such a waste, A life being eliminated not really being allowed to begin. The team had seemed stressed and on edge after exiting the building. After a lengthy de brief with I.A they had been allowed to leave. All the army man wanted upon entering headquarters was a shower, but when was he ever that lucky.

Sam looked at Zara it felt like the world had stilled around them, she was here in Toronto. Ten years without a word but it felt as if a moment hadn't passed. No that was a lie and he had never been accused of being delusional. Every day he had thought of her. He had thought that there bond was too strong but she had never come back. Not one phone call even to tell her best friend she was alive. Ed had even stopped bringing her name up after a while, and he had assumed Sam would be the future father of any grandchildren.

During his time in Iraq he dreamed up a thousand different scenarios of how they would meet again, But never really believing it would happen. She had moved to Chicago and joined the prestigious law firm of Stern, Lockhart and Gardner. Zara was well on the may to becoming partner. He was so proud of her not that he would ever admit it. Then she had broken him completely and married Will fucking Gardner. Sam had spent the entire weekend getting shit faced.

Sam finally gathered his resolve and marched toward the only girl he'd ever loved. She was talking to Winnie they seemed to know each other, how many times had she visited Ed while Sam wasn't their? Not even letting him know she was in town. He called out her name and she turned around and the most brilliant smile graced her lips, Becoming suddenly unsure when his expression remained guarded. Before he could decide how easily he would forgive her and forgive her he would a shot rang out in SRU headquarters.
