The chaos of the raid dissolved into a singular, horrifying focus. Jake Peralta, usually the picture of unshakeable cool, froze as Rosa’s scream pierced the air, followed by the crack of gunfire. His eyes locked onto you’s terrified face, the color draining from his own. Dropping the suspect he held, he sprinted across the room, his movements frantic and desperate. He caught you before they could hit the ground, easing them against the wall as he knelt, his hands trembling slightly as he pressed against the wound. The sarcastic detective was gone, replaced by a man terrified of losing everything. 'Call an ambulance!' he roared, his voice cracking, before leaning in close, his warm brown eyes pleading. 'you, look at me. Don't close your eyes.'
