Author's Notes: After we wrote 'The Day's End' we decided it would be fun to write another fic in the same way...however, this isn't a sequel to 'The Day's End.' It's a totally separate story all together. We wrote this one not knowing the screen names of each other's characters when we divided them up...

hotstuff73: Thanks. She's really adorable.

dependable1: i'm sure she is :-)

papasmurf8: my kids have grown up fast, too.

hotstuff73: wish that I could send you some pictures, but I haven't got a camera.

hotstuff73: or scanner

mustang_mo3379: good thing. she loves her kids, but says they're growing up too fast.

dependable1: you sound like a good father

dependable1: yeah, i think it's a parent thing to say :-)

lifesaver41: well, it's been nice chatting with you all, but I've got to go.

hotstuff73: thanks. I just wish I could see more of her, you know?

dependable1: court?

masteroftheuniverse: have you been a naughty girl??? ;-)

icandoanything: get your mind out of the gutter

morethanawoman: yeah, please do... I've had enough from my ex in the last few weeks, I don't need that kinda crap from you.

masteroftheuniverse: so you're getting enough then, huh? lol

morethanawoman: yeah, he's suing for custody... my ex husband.

dependable1: back off, you jerk. leave her alone.

hotstuff71: someone needs to shove a gag down your throat and make you shut up.

icandoanything: god, i'd love to see that!

superman: you guys are too funny

dependable1: yikes..that's got to be tough.

masteroftheuniverse: hey, you can't talk to me like that, bitch!

hotsuff73: you know, I have a friend who can track ip's from online names.

icandoanything: who the hell are you calling a bitch?

morethanawoman: yeah, it is. and I see him every damn day, so it's real hard to just stop from slapping him in the face.

dependable1: i'm sure it is...wish i could help you somehow.

icandoanything: can you give your friend this loser's ip?

morethanawoman: thanks. i've got good friends, they're being real supportive.

hotstuff73: just sent it in an email.

masteroftheuniverse: I was actually talking to both dependable1 and and hotstuff73, but now I'm referring to you too

masteroftheuniverse: BITCH

dependable1: how old are you? 10?

hotstuff73: bitch? BITCH? hey, I'm a guy, man!

icandoanything: It's good to have supportive friends

masteroftheuniverse: so you say

mustang_mo3379: masteroftheuniverse, stop calling people names

papasmurf8: hey, it's a free country, he's entitled to his opinions

masteroftheuniverse: go drive your mustang off a cliff, loser

mustang_mo3379: you did not just say that!

dependable1: yeah, well not everyone deserves that right to freedom of speech

masteroftheuniverse: oh, yes I did!!

superman: you're a real jerk, man

papasmurf8: what are you, a cop? he's entitled to any opinion he damn well wants.

mustang_mo3379: well eat my shorts!

dependable1: and what if i told you i was a cop?

icandoanything: well, opinions are like assholes. we all have them, but some of them are a lot smellier than others.

superman: lol

mustang_mo3379: you clearly don't know the first thing about being a cop, papasmurf

papasmurf8: hey, I know a lot about cops. Pal. And I also know that it's a free country.

masteroftheuniverse: Amen to that papasmurf8.

icandoanything: Well, feel *free* to leave the room at any time

morethanawoman: yeah, well free country or not, it's a little thing called respect for other people that you should think about before opening your mouth.

dependable1: i agree with morethanawoman.

masteroftheuniverse: yeah, all you girls stick together. *rolls eyes*

superman: hey, man, they're right. grow up or get out.

mustang_mo3379: i agree with both of you. stick a fork in it masteroftheuniverse.

papasmurf8: i think you should all grow up and get with the times.

masteroftheuniverse: I'd like to stick a fork in a couple of the ladies in this room ;-)

morethanawoman: you son of a b*tch!

icandoanything: ever heard of a term called sexual harrassment?

mustang_mo3379: you just crossed the line there, if I had your number I'd arrest your sorry ass!

papasmurf8: free country people....

dependable1: shut up, you jack-off

hotstuff73: free country my ass. the guy's a pervert.

masteroftheuniverse: I like my women frisky. Looks like I can take my pick of the ladies in this room...

papasmurf8: shut up yourself, stupid cow

mustang_mo3379: you're both WAY out of line here!

icandoanything: be glad I don't actually know you losers! I'd kick both of your asses!

dependable1: sorry

mustang_mo3379: not you dependable1, those two jerk-offs.

masteroftheuniverse: as you should be

dependable1: oh, ok

hotstuff73: I'm leaving, I've got a long shift ahead of me... and I'm sick of the talk in the room.

hotstuff73 leaves the room

icandoanything: she has nothing to be sorry for, you idiot.

dependable1: I'm getting sick of this room myself

papasmurf8: she should be sorry, sorry she can't be open to people's own opinions

mustang_mo3379: always a few to spoil the rest

icandoanything: well, when the opinion's clearly wrong, why should she be open to them?

dependable1: isn't there, though?

masteroftheuniverse: it's so sweet how you all defend each other. gag me

superman: Believe me, if I could, I definitely would

icandoanything: lol

mustang_mo3379: you know what, it's guys like masteroftheuniverse that makes what I do for a living worthwhile. When I get to throw scumbags like him in jail!

dependable1: you're a cop?

masteroftheuniverse: you'd never be able to throw me in jail, small fry

mustang_mo3379: 8 years in counting. oh trust me masteroftheuniverse, you'd be in jail before dawn if I got your address.

masteroftheuniverse: that's what you think

mustang_mo3379: trust me pal, you'd be saying your prayers if I got within ten feet of you

papasmurf8: you know, if we got your badge number, pal, we could report you for unjustified harrassment.

superman: unjustified? didn't you see what the jerk wrote about the women?

papasmurf8: that stuff happens all the time in chat rooms, you enter one... you gotta expect that that's what you'll get.

masteroftheuniverse: only the truth

icandoanything: that's like blaming a rape victim for being raped

morethanawoman: well, I'm sick of this... I'm leaving. Dependable1, mustang_mo3379, it's nice to know that we have decent cops like you protecting our city.

dependable1: take care, morethanawoman

papasmurf8: I didn't mean it like that

icandoanything: night!

superman: bye

mustang_mo3379: take care!

dependable1: good luck in court

morethanawoman: I will, thanks for the great chat guys!

morethanawoman: thank you! I'll need it.

morethanawoman leaves the room.

icandoanything: you may not have meant it like that, but that's how it sounded

masteroftheuniverse: yeah, if you're an overly sensitive female

papasmurf8: I'm sorry, just, having major wife problems... she's all, this is right, that is right... people are people, period.

mustang_mo3379: that's no excuse for being so damn rude

dependable1: there's a line between being who you are as a person and knowing the difference between right and wrong

papasmurf8: yeah, well I'm just sick of it.

icandoanything: well as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I've got a doubleshift tomorrow, so I'll catch you all later

superman: yeah, I gotta go too.

dependable1: bye

icandoanything has left the room

superman has left the room

mustang_mo3379: damn, left before I could say goodbye

dependable1: understand their wanting to get out of this room

mustang_mo3379: dependable1, so what does your husband think of you being a cop?

masteroftheuniverse: so if you want to leave so bad, why the hell don't you?

dependable1: yeah, he's not thrilled about it.

mustang_mo3379: can understan it too, with the shit these guys keep saying. Your husband should get over it then.

dependable1: not gonna happen in this lifetime.

mustang_mo3379: let me guess, thinks you should be home looking after the kids and the home?

masteroftheuniverse: women shouldn't be cops anyway

papasmurf8: here, here.

dependable1: that's the gist of it

dependable1: now you're really pissing me off, motu

mustang_mo3379: he's pissing me off too, women make better cops than most men!

masteroftheuniverse: well you know the saying. better to be pissed off than pissed on.

masteroftheuniverse: women make better cops than men? Yeah, right. what the hell planet are you living on?

mustang_mo3379: obviously not the same one as you

masteroftheuniverse: hey, papasmurf8, he's an alien!

dependable1: could you get anymore lame?

masteroftheuniverse: yeah, if I was married to you, then I'd be a lot more lame

papasmurf8: well, he's certainly not in the same world as us!

mustang_mo3379: can you be any more of an asshole?

dependable1: oh. that really hurts. i might cry.

papasmurf8: and you call yourself a cop?

masteroftheuniverse: well, you are female

dependable1: it's called sarcasm, dipshit

mustang_mo3379: you know, you were obviously born without any morals.

papasmurf8: oh ow, the lady with the frightening words scared me. whoopitydoo!

dependable1: his mom probably dropped him on his head when he was a baby.

dependable1: repeatedly

masteroftheuniverse: I'd like to drop you on your head, you stupid whore

mustang_mo3379: HEY PAL!! You really crossed the line there!

papasmurf8: she probably was dropped on her head! to think she's any good as a damn cop!

masteroftheuniverse: good one, papasmurf8, lol

dependable1: you know what? I've had enough of this crap. i'm not going to lower myself to your level.

papasmurf8: only saying it as I see it :-) but thank you

mustang_mo3379: dependable1, do you want to chat in PM instead of hanging out with these losers?

masteroftheuniverse: no problem. we real men have to stick together.

dependable1: sounds good to me

mustang_mo3379: kiss my ass

papasmurf8: go play with the little girliewirlie mustang_wimpo

masteroftheuniverse: lol. we ran them off! :-)

papasmurf8: let the real mean ruleth!!

* * *

mustang_mo3379 private message to dependable1:

mustang_mo3379: Glad to be out of there!

dependable1: you and me both

mustang_mo3379: so, I didn't ask before, how long have you been a cop?

dependable1: about 8 years...you?

mustang_mo3379: the same, about eight years.

dependable1: that's funny. we were probably at the academy together and didn't even know it.

mustang_mo3379: probably took the classes at the same time, too.

mustang_mo3379: glad you became a cop?

dependable1: anything's possible.

dependable1: yeah, most of the time.

dependable1: what about you?

mustang_mo3379: yeah, most of the time, too. it's been rough since 9/11, since a lot of stuff happening between me and my partner, but each day, I'm glad I became one.

dependable1: Yeah, it's been a rough year.

dependable1: you're having problems with your partner?

mustang_mo3379: trust issues, mostly.

dependable1: that's not good. maybe you should get a different partner?

mustang_mo3379: nah, no way. I could never trust anyone like her. we've had our ups and down, but you know what, I think it just makes us a better team.

dependable1: yeah...you may be right.

mustang_mo3379: what about you and your partner?

dependable1: we've definitely had our problems, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. not sure he always feels the same...

mustang_mo3379: I'm sure he does.

dependable1: it's hard to tell sometimes.

mustang_mo3379: does he ever open up to you?

mustang_mo3379: if he does, it means he does feel that same way back.

dependable1: occasionally. we've had some problems this year. i've screwed things up pretty bad.
mustang_mo3379: oh?

dependable1: it's complicated. in more ways than one.

mustang_mo3379: here to listen, if you want to talk about it.

dependable1: well, i guess part of the problem is i'm not much better at opening up than he is.

mustang_mo3379: have you tried telling him that? tried to just, sit down and really talk it out? it might help. not that I can really talk, I have a hard time opening up to my partner sometimes.

dependable1: nah, you know, he's got enough of his own stuff to deal with, he doesn't need me dumping my problems on him, too.

mustang_mo3379: well, I guess my main question is this..... is he a good listener when you talk to him? Because, really, if he is... he'll care to listen.

dependable1: it's not really about him...it's just me...I have this thing where I have to try and hold everything together on my own.

mustang_mo3379: man, you sound more and more like my partner. Let it out, don't carry it all on your own.... you gotta realise, it's what partners are there for, to help each other.

dependable1: when you're as used to holding it all in like I am, you don't really know how to do the leaning thing.

mustang_mo3379: Hey, if I can do it... anyone can.

dependable1: lol. now you sound like my partner.

dependable1: hey, what time is it?

mustang_mo3379: I'll take it as a compliment.

dependable1: good, I meant it as one

mustang_mo3379: about 3am.

mustang_mo3379: thanks :-)

dependable1: damn it

dependable1: sorry

mustang_mo3379: what's the problem?

dependable1: waiting up for my husband...I don't think he's coming home tonight

mustang_mo3379: why wouldn't he?

dependable1: we're sort of...having problems...he left as soon as I got home

mustang_mo3379: I'm so sorry. He's a fool, you know.

dependable1: thanks...but it's more my fault than his

mustang_mo3379: no, I mean for walkingout on someone as great as you.

dependable1: wow..thanks. but you barely know me.

mustang_mo3379: I've been talking to you for the last couple hours, and honestly... I feel like I've known you all my life.

dependable1: yeah, you know, I was thinking the same thing, lol

mustang_mo3379: really? that's, that's kinda cool.

dependable1: yeah, it is...i can't get over how much you remind me of him.

mustang_mo3379: your partner? same here, you remind me of mine.

dependable1: speaking of which, what precinct are you with?

mustang_mo3379: five-five. yourself?

dependable1: are you serious?

mustang_mo3379: yeah, ever since I left the academy. Why do you ask?

dependable1: I can't believe we've been chatting for like, three hours and didn't know who we were talking to!

mustang_mo3379: me either! but it was great, too, you know?

dependable1: yeah, it was, but now I just feel like an idiot

mustang_mo3379: what, why?

dependable1: I should have known it was you! We've been riding together for like 8 years

mustang_mo3379: Oh! Well, I feel like an idiot too, I mean.... just, everything about tonight, I had this feeling...... that it was you.

dependable1: why didn't you say something sooner?

mustang_mo3379: do you know how stupid that would have looked? Asking in front of everyone if it was you.

dependable1: why would that have looked stupid? it's not like we knew any of those other people
mustang_mo3379: because what if it hadn't of been you.

dependable1: then I guess we'd have a problem right about now, lol

mustang_mo3379: oh so true.

mustang_mo3379: so, Fred really left before?

dependable1: shit. yeah.
