As he tried to regain his breath he turned to see Ana slide down the door with her back against it. As she came to on the floor the police officer could see the tears beginning to form in her eyes. [color=a187be]“New rule, we don’t leave each others side, ever.”[/color] It then became apparent to Connor that he had been reckless, he wasn't with another officer. While she was a qualified doctor and likely skilled under pressure, she was still a civilian he had a duty to protect. He walked over to her and squatted down, getting as close to her eye level as he could. He could see that the whites of her eyes had begun to redden ever so slightly, tugging at his conscience once more. [color=6ecff6]"I'm really sorry. I didn't think."[/color] He glanced down at the floor for a moment as the shame became too much to keep looking at her. [color=6ecff6]"I promise that I won't leave your side until we are out of this City...unless the rest of the world has gone to shit as well."[/color] That was a dark thought that he hoped wasn't true. His kids were in the next town over so if this thing hadn't been contained there was every chance that they would be going through what he was...or worse. The mental image caused him to lose his legs beneath him, falling onto his posterior. [color=6ecff6][i]They will be fine. They will be fine.[/i][/color] He repeated that over and over again in his head for until he snapped back to reality. He looked over his shoulder at the double bed and back to Ana. [color=6ecff6]"You can have the bed, i'll stick by the door."[/color] Gesturing with his head towards the likely bed bug ridden matress, Connor did his best to show her a smile. [color=6ecff6]"I'll sit here and if anything comes knocking I won't need to go far."[/color] [/color]
