Summary
Alternative Universe of "The Most Unexpected Thing".
Bobby has been taken hostage by the LAPD sniper who'd narrowly missed putting a bullet in Eddie Diaz mere hours ago. Ethan, former LAPD sniper and suffering from some sort of psychosis, set a large warehouse on fire as a trap for firefighters.
His chosen hostage is Bobby Nash, who has resigned himself to his fate knowing that the rest of his team is safe.
Mara watches from the sidelines at first, witnessing Athena Grant and her fellow police tried to negotiate for Ethan to let Bobby go. It isn't working and the fire is getting closer and closer to the room Ethan is holding Bobby
Years of secret love, a yearning she vowed to never act on and even take to her grave, all flare to life once more. Running into a burning building wasn't an unfamiliar occurrence for her, but this was unlike any other call.
For Mara, the person on the line was her very reason for breathing and waking up each morning. She doesn't hesitate to put everything out in the open for the small chance she might save the man she loved.
