"So anyways, that chick was smokin! Don't you think so, partner?" Duncan asked McNally, who looked thoroughly unimpressed.
"I'm not completely sure what you're talking about, so no." She said, looking up from her paperwork to answer him before she went back to the report she was filling out.
"Whatever, man. She was so hot. And smart too, apparently. But whatever. She had a great ass. And face." He added, thinking about it intently.
"Duncan! Work on your report and stop talking about this hottie with a body! Got it?"
"Yes, sir." He said to Andy, saluting as Andy rolled her eyes at him.
A few minutes later, Chris came out and sat across from them while he worked on his report, followed by Gail a few minutes later. They all sat at the same table, quietly filling out some reports at the end of the day.
"So anyways, as I was saying…this chick was so fine. Like super fine. And she was sweet too, I think she was into me." He said cockily as Gail snorted.
"McNally, control your rookie." Gail said, not bothering to look up from her paperwork.
Andy sighed heavily before she looked at Duncan again, exasperatedly.
"What did I just say Moore?"
"What? I'm done with my report."
"Let me read it then, it's probably really shitty if you finished it that quickly." Andy said, all but ripping the report from his hands.
"Ouch, that hurts, boss." He said clutching his chest jokingly.
"You know? I should fake an injury or something as an excuse to hit up this hot chick again." He said, seriously pondering the idea.
"Let me give you a hint here, newbie. If you keep referring to her as a 'hot chick' she might not be interested in you. 'Hot chick' is what sorority girls would be happy to called; a grown woman, not so much." Gail answered, tapping her pen against the table slightly.
"Is that true, man?" He asked Chris seriously.
"Probably, I mean, have some respect, dude. Also, Gail knows what she's talking about. She likes the ladies as well." Chris said, causing Gail to smack his arm and glare at him.
"Yeahhh, buddy." Duncan said, reaching over to give Gail a high-5, but was met by a steely glare while McNally tried not to laugh.
"Okay, do not say that to me ever again. I am not your buddy, and do not high-5 me for that, you weirdo."
"Gail, come on!" He semi-whined.
"It's Officer Peck to you, rookie." She said, staring back down at her paperwork.
"Fine, Officer Peck. That high-5 was for you because I'm sure a hot chick like you could bag any hot chick you want." He said, looking at her appreciatively as Chris and Andy both shook their heads.
"What did I just tell you about this whole hot chick thing, Moore? Don't use it! Ever again!" She said simply before she looked down at her paperwork yet again.
"Wait, why would you fake an injury to talk to this person again? You want her to take care of you or something?" Chris asked, remembering what Duncan had said a while earlier.
"Yeah, she's some doctor or something."
"Oh, very cool. Where'd you meet her?" He asked curiously.
"At the lab when I ran an errand for Detective Nash earlier." He said with a grin.
That definitely caught Gail's attention, but the blonde remained cool about it.
"You've been talking about Dr. Stewart this whole time?" Andy asked suddenly after clearing her throat, having tuned him out at the beginning of this whole girl story.
"See, even her name is hot! Dr. Stewart. She could be my doctor any day of the week. Plus, I think she liked me." He said smugly.
"You know she's a forensic pathologist, right?" Gail asked, still glaring at the man. "She works with dead people. So she wouldn't really be of much use to your medical problems." The blonde continued on, knowing that it was a lie. Holly had nursed her back to health and stitched her up before and had an incredible bedside manner, but she did not want the rookie to know that.
"Whatever. A dude can dream." He responded.
"Why do you think she liked you?" Chris asked, enjoying this conversation and Gail's reactions.
"She was just super friendly. Asked me how my day was, who I was working with, what I was doing, how I liked being a rookie at 15 so far. We just chatted for a while when she was preparing something for me to take back to Detective Nash." He responded with a grin.
"Sounds like she's just friendly, Duncan." Andy said, patting him on the back.
"I don't think so. I think she liked me. I almost asked to take a selfie with her, but then I remembered that my phone was dead. She would've said yes though, for sure." He said as Gail shook her head slowly.
"Why would you take a selfie with her?" Gail asked slowly, starting to lose her patience with him.
"Because that's my thing! I like to document things. And this chick's face and rack were incredible. I would've gotten just the right angle picture because I'm taller than her. Oh, yeah." He said staring off into space, not seeing a now fuming Gail.
"Alright, rookie, let me tell you something-" She started off angrily, slamming down her pen before she noticed his eyes somewhere else.
"Wow, she looks even hotter in regular clothes with that hair down." He said, looking towards Holly who was walking up to Traci's office with a file.
The brunette looked over and saw Gail sitting at the table, and shot her a brilliant smile, causing the blonde to smile back slightly, still mad about Duncan.
"Look, I told you! She just smiled at me!" Duncan said as Chris looked incredibly uncomfortable. "I think I'm gonna go talk to her." He said, starting to get up before Gail beat him to it.
"Don't bother. I'll go." She said sternly as he sat back down.
"On my behalf though, right? On my behalf." He asked as Gail just grumbled and walked away.
Duncan, Andy, and Chris all sat there and watched as Gail and Holly met up near the coffee table and started talking normally.
The blonde then leaned in and took her time whispering something into Holly's ear, causing the brunette to laugh happily before she eventually smiled and nodded her head, running her hand along Gail's arm, up to her shoulder.
"Damn. Girl's got game, huh?" Duncan asked as he continued to watch Gail.
"Moore, you've no idea." Chris said with a smirk, leaning back in his chair.
A few short minutes later, Holly and Gail walked back over to the table with smiles on their faces.
"Hey Holly, how's it going?" Chris asked with a smile.
"It's good, Chris. How are you?"
"I'm good, thanks. So, what are you up to?"
"Well Officer Peck here is just about to take me to dinner." She said with a smile, one that Gail reciprocated.
"You dog!" Duncan said happily, putting his hand up for Gail to high-5, but quickly took it down after McNally slapped him in the back of the head.
"That should be nice. Anywhere fun?" Chris asked curiously, trying to skate over what Duncan had just said.
"I was thinking that good Thai place around the corner." Gail suggested once Holly looked at her.
"That sounds great." The brunette said happily.
"Awesome. I just have to get changed. I'll finish my report later." The blonde said, picking her report back up. "You coming with? Or are you gonna visit with McDiaz for a few minutes?" The blonde asked.
"I think I'll visit with them while you get ready." She answered simply, knowing that she wouldn't be able to keep her hands off of Gail if she watched her get changed.
"Alright, I'll just be a few." The blonde replied before she gestured to the chair she had just been in, pulling it out for Holly to sit down in.
"Andy, we should really go on that hike that we've been meaning to go on soon." Holly said after she watched Gail walk away.
"Oh, definitely! I'm assuming Gail does not want to partake in that?" The brunette police officer asked with a laugh.
"You would be correct, McNally. She'll be playing video games all day probably. What do you say we do it on Sunday? It's supposed to be nice out." The doctor suggested as Andy mentally checked her calendar.
"That sounds great actually, it's on!" She said happily.
"Perfect! I'm sure Gail with thank you for taking me away for the day. She'll love having a video game day where I won't interrupt to ask her for her opinion about an article I'm writing." The pathologist said with a slight chuckle, knowing that Gail didn't actually have a problem with Holly interrupting her.
"So are you and Officer Peck close then?" Duncan asked, trying to assess if they were just really close friends like Holly was with McNally.
"You could say that, Officer Moore. She's my girlfriend." Holly said with a smile as she saw Gail reappear, walking towards them, so she missed Duncan's jaw dropping, not expecting that at all.
The blonde was wearing tight black pants with her black combat boots, and one of Holly's sweaters that she'd stolen from the brunette at some point. Holly smiled brightly at that fact, having not seen the blonde earlier in the morning, unaware that she had even stolen a sweater from her house.
"You ready, babe?" Holly asked as Gail made it to their table and set down her bag.
"Just a second, Hol." She said before she looked at the rookie with fire in her eyes, smiling as he looked away uncomfortably.
"Duncan, come with me, please." She said, not waiting for his response as she walked about 25 feet away from the table, still in everyone's line of vision.
Duncan followed after her, facing the table as Gail's back was turned to them.
"Should I be worried about what's happening?" Holly asked slowly.
"Potentially. He's just been talking about how much of a hot chick you are, Gail wasn't pleased." Andy said, swiveling her chair to get a good look of Duncan's face.
"Ahh, I see." The pathologist said with a smirk, slightly enjoying the fact that her girlfriend was annoyed with him.
"Officer Peck, I'm sorry! I didn't know she was your girlfriend, I swear!" He said quickly, as soon as he got over to where Gail stood.
"Whatever, Duncan. It's not about that; people who are in relationships get hit on all the time. But if you can't be polite and respectful, that is a whole other thing, okay? She is not just some hot chick, alright? She is an incredibly beautiful woman, who deserves to be treated like it. That means nice dinners, great conversations, honesty, and thoughtful gestures. And that took me a long time to learn that, so I'm honestly giving you a leg up here. No one of her stature is going to want someone who plans a selfie to get a good picture of her boobs, okay?" Gail said seriously.
"I understand, Officer."
"I really hope you do, because I may have just given you some great advice. I never thought that I would end up with someone as incredible as Holly, but I have. And we both treat each other right. I don't go around referring to her as a hot chick to everyone." The blonde said, leaving out the fact that she would frequently call Holly hot after a few drinks. "Now, I am going to go get her and take her to dinner, then I will be going back to her place to probably watch some documentary or proofread a paper that I know nothing about because that's how much she means to me. Are we clear?" She asked, arms crossed against her chest.
"Crystal."
"Good. And if none of this information seeped into that thick head of yours, just know that if I ever hear you refer to my girlfriend's ass, boobs, face, or any of her person, I will make this job a living hell for you. I hope you understand that fact." She said as he nodded quickly.
She then walked over and placed her hands on Holly's shoulders, not wanting to partake in PDA in the middle of the station. They both said their goodbyes and Gail grabbed Holly's hand, allowing the brunette to lead them out of the station, passing Duncan along the way
"Have a good night, Officer." Holly said sweetly as they passed.
"Thank you, ma'am. You, too." He said slowly, unsure if that was the right thing to say.
"And that is how you treat a lady, dumbass." Gail whispered in his ear quickly, patting his back slightly, before allowing herself to continue to be led by Holly.
"So, I take it you had an interesting end of shift?" The brunette said with a smirk as their fingers intertwined more fully.
"Definitely, nerd, definitely." The blonde said, pulling her girlfriend in for their first kiss of the day.
"I missed you today." Holly admitted before leaning in to kiss Gail once more, smiling as the blonde hummed.
"I missed you too, Lunchbox. What are we going to do with you? Officer Moore is convinced that you were flirting with him in the lab earlier. That doesn't look great for me, now does it?" The blonde asked with a smirk as Holly knocked their shoulders together.
"Quiet, you. Duncan doesn't know what he's talking about. It's been proven that I'm quite attracted to sassy, incredibly gorgeous and super badass blondes. Preferably ones that can drink a 250lb man under a table and still be charming in her own specific way."
"Well where the hell are you gonna find one of those?" The blonde asked, feigning ignorance.
"I hear they're pretty popular in trees. Or was it something to do with cats? I'm not quite sure anymore." She said as Gail just shook her head fondly.
"I'm never going to live that down, am I?" Gail asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nope. But why would you want to? That was the start of a beautiful relationship." Holly replied sincerely, leaning over to press a quick kiss to the now grinning blonde's cheek.
