"They are cooking fentanyl. Two micrograms kills you if inhaled so we need to be really careful" Tim tells Nolan, Celina and Lucy who are all listening carefully.
Lucy and Tim go to one side of the house while Nolan and Celina go to the other side trying to find the best way inside without being noticed.
When Tim and Lucy reach a window Lucy sees a little girl sitting on a bed with an iPad in her lap. Lucy turns to Tim in shock "there's a girl in there, no older than five" she tells him. "Who makes drugs while there's a child inside the house" Tim says in disbelief.
"We have to get her out of there" Lucy states to which Tim agrees.
The two of them go up to an open glass door, careful not to be seen by the man currently turning on the mixers that contain the drugs. Lucy slowly sneaks inside and hides behind a wall but before Tim can follow after her, the man closes the door. He doesn't lock it, but Tim cannot go inside now without the man seeing him.
Tim curses under his breath and decides to find another way in. Lucy checks her surroundings and sees another door, probably leading towards the little girls room. She slowly walks towards the door trying desperately to be as quiet as possible so as not to draw attention to herself.
Lucy carefully opens the door and steps inside closing the door behind herself. "Hi, my name is Lucy, what's yours?" she asks the girl. "Listen, I'm sorry to stop the game but there's an emergency and we need to go outside do you wanna come with me?" she adds when the girl doesn't acknowledge her. The little girl shakes her head but Lucy takes away the iPad and grabs the girl.
The girl starts screaming which gets the attention of the man currently still mixing the fentanyl. He starts heading towards the girls bedroom but then Tim opens the glass door with force and storms inside pulling out his gun and pointing it at the man.
"Show me your hands!" he yells but the man doesn't listen. Instead he attacks Tim and they fight for dominance. In the process of fighting Tim gets thrown on top of the table where all the drugs are being mixed. The containers break and the drugs fall out. Both men run outside the house where Celina is standing, ready to cuff the man.
In the meantime Lucy, with the girl in her arms, opens the window to let the girl out. Nolan is there to take the girl from Lucy and then bring her to the front of the house where the others are waiting. Lucy doesn't fit through the small window so she goes into the hallway only to find the smoke of the drugs coming from the living room. The only way she can go is towards the bathroom but there she is stuck.
Nolan gives the girl to the paramedics, who were called by Celina earlier, to check for any injuries. Tim notices that Lucy isn't with them and his heart drops. "Lucy's still inside" he yells and then he's grabbing a mask and running inside the house. He looks inside the little girls room but doesn't find Lucy so he checks the next room which is the bathroom. The entire time he is yelling out Lucy's name but she doesn't respond.
Lucy is laying inside the bathtub with a wet towel over her mouth and nose and she appears to have passed out. Tim checks her pulse but tenses when he doesn't find one. He grabs his radio to let the others know. "Officer Chen is down, she's not breathing". Tim picks Lucy up with one of his arms under her knees and the other under her arms and then he's running outside with her.
Tim lays Lucy on the ground and asks Nolan for Narcan, trying not to sound desperate as the love of his life is laying unconscious on the ground.
The Narcan doesn't work and Lucy stays unconscious. "Oh god, she's not waking up." Tim yells. His right hand is on Lucy's cheek trying to get her to wake up. "Wake up!" He yells and his voice breaks. "Please, baby" he begs while his left hand holds on tight to Lucy's. “You have to wake up baby, please” Tim sobs but Lucy doesn’t move a muscle.
Nolan tries the Narcan again and finally Lucy opens her eyes. She looks distraught and her eyes are glassy. Everyone lets out a thankful breath and quiet "thank god's" are heard. Tims whole body deflates and he lets out another sob. “Lucy” Tims voice breaks and he has to stop himself from starting to really cry.
"Tim" Lucy says quietly and Tim grabs her hand “you’re okay, you’re okay”.

“The doctor says you can leave the hospital tomorrow already” Tim tells Lucy once they’re in her hospital room and she’s comfortable in bed. “That’s good” she replies.
“God baby, I was so scared. I thought I’d lost you.” Tim sits down onto the chair next to the hospital bed and takes Lucys hand in his. She gives it a gentle squeeze and kisses it. “You won’t get rid of me that easily babe.” she tells him but he does not look amused.
”I never want to be rid of you, I wouldn’t survive.” Tim says to which Lucy slightly smiles. “That’s good, because you’re stuck with me.
