Well, there really isn't much of a point to this story, I just thought I might show why Lassie is how he is. Idfk hehe
Abigail POV
Fieldtrip! Today we are taking all 60 of our students on a field trip. Problem: One parent actually showed up.
"What are we going to do?" I asked the other teachers, Mckenzie, Mandy and Lisa, as we had a little conference. The busses were here, we had already paid for our tickets, and we were screwed.
"Ok, we'll figure this out…just call whoever you know who might be able to come and help out. My cousin is in town visiting…I'll call her, and I'll call Kyler." Mckenzie, said, referring to her husband.
"Everyone I know is at work today!" Mandy exclaimed!
"I'll call Nick and see if he's home." Lisa said, talking about her brother.
"Ok, maybe we can make this work…I'll call Shawn and he'll probably drag Gus along, then I can also call my brother…so that's what six more people if they all can come…I think it may be a handful but maybe we can manage." I said warily.
Shawn POV
"Hello?" I said answering my phone.
"Hey Shawn, I have a huge favor to ask you…" I heard my beautiful girlfriend Abigail on the other line.
"Anything for you, baby." I said seductively.
She laughed…clearly not what I was looking for…but whatever.
"Well, we have our field trip today and we need more chaperones…could you and Gus come help out?"
"Sure, be right there!"
I looked over at Gus.
"No Shawn."
I ignored him and grabbed the keys to his car, knowing he would follow grumbling something.
Abigail POV
I hung up the phone and immediately called my little brother.
"What?"
"Very friendly, Andrew, Get your ass up here now, you're helping with our field trip."
"Fine."
I hung up just as the other teachers walked in.
"Shawn, Gus, and Andrew are coming."
"So is my cousin, and Kyler!"
"Nick couldn't make it…he said he woke up feeling sick." Lisa looked very disappointed so we told her it would be ok and we could manage with 10 people, and I honestly thought we could.
"The kids are getting restless." Mandy said.
"Ok, let's get them on the busses, our volunteers should be here soon." Mckenzie replied checking her watch.
It took us 15 minutes to have all the kids loaded onto two busses. Mckenzie and I stood outside our bus waiting for our volunteers.
Suddenly a very dirty black pick-up truck with dual wheels in the back drove into the parking lot, blasting loud music.
"That would be my cousin." Mckenzie stated.
I watched as a girl in her early twenties exited the truck and strolled toward us. She was wearing tight skinny jeans, and a t-shirt finishing the outfit with converse and a baggy jacket.
"You summoned me?" The girl said smiling at Mckenzie.
"Yes Remy, thank you for coming."
"No problem."
She looked at me, I noted that she had a silver stud in her nose and two rings side my side in her lip.
"Hi, I'm Remy," she stated and held out her hand for me to shake, while doing so I noticed a tattoo on the inside of her wrist, it was a horseshoe over a heart with the name "Max" beneath it. I wondered if she had any other work done.
"Abigail, nice to meet you." I replied shaking her hand. She smiled at me…she kind of reminded me a little of Andrew, piercings, tattoos, skinny jeans, hoodies. Hmm…maybe we should pair them up for this field trip.
"Oops, I forgot me phone!" Remy said turning back to her car.
"How old is she?" I quickly asked Mckenzie.
"23." She replied just as quick.
I told her my plan and she quickly agreed so when Remy returned, I told her there would be groups of 12 students each with two adults; Shawn and Me, Mckenzie and Kyler, Lisa and Gus, Mandy and the parent, and lastly her and my brother Andrew.
Five minutes later Andrew arrived. He got out of his car and walked up to where we were standing.
"So why am I here?" He asked me, I could see him looking at Remy out of the corned of his eye though.
"We're going on a field trip!" I exclaimed.
"Awesome!" He said with fake enthusiasm.
Remy decided to step forward now.
"Hi, I'm Remy, we're paired together for this thing." She said smiling and sticking out her hand.
"Awesome! I'm Andrew," He said this time with not so fake enthusiasm.
Kyler showed up and then I saw Gus' little blue car pull into the parking lot.
Shawn got out and walked over to me, kissing me on the cheek. A grumpy Gus was right behind him.
"Hey Shawn, Let's go!"
We all loaded up on the bus and while we were driving I introduced Shawn to Mckenzie and Kyler, unfortunately everyone else was on a separate bus.
As soon as we got to our destination, the zoo, everything got very hectic and the groups split up before Shawn could meet anyone. I pointed Remy out to Shawn and he said she looked familiar, I told him she didn't live her but he knew he had seen her face before…he just couldn't place it.
The day passed relatively uneventfully, until we were about to leave…
We had gotten everyone loaded up on the bus and we were about to board when I noticed Remy stiffen beside me.
"I'll be right back," She said, I watched as she walked over to a hooded man leaning against his car. Remy approached and began speaking to him. She kept her distance but very quickly the man lunged out with a knife, I couldn't tell if the knife actually got her or not because within seconds she had a gun aimed at him telling him to drop it.
"Somebody call the cops." She called over to us, turning the guy around and putting cuffs on him, I guess she is a cop. "Gus, Shawn can you please stay out here in case I need help and Abigail can you please board the bus and keep the children calm." She seemed like she knew what she was doing so I didn't object.
Shawn POV
What just happened?
"That was awesome!" I exclaimed.
"No Shawn, it wasn't." Gus replied frankly.
"I'm calling Juliet!"
"Hey Jules, you need to come to the zoo now!"
"I'm busy Shawn." She said impatiently.
"No, you don't get it! This chick just almost got attacked and then she pulled a gun and cuffed the guy! It was awesome!"
Remy was trying to tell me something,
"Hold on a sec Jules… ok, she says his name is Jeremy Maverick."
"We'll be right there."
I heard the click and glanced at my phone, this must be big, she hung up on me!
-20 minutes later-
Juliet POV
We pulled up to see one very young looking girl leaning against a school bus while Shawn held on the Maverick, a drug lord with multiple warrants on him. I walked over to the girl to collect her statement while Detective Lassiter went and grabbed Maverick from Shawn, despite Shawn's protests.
I approached the girl and without me prompting her she pulled out a badge and said,
"Detective Remailia Serensri, Nashville Police Force."
I nodded and began to ask her some questions about what had happened. While we were talking I noticed she was very pale and was acting weak.
"Do you need anything?" I asked cautiously?
"Yeah, would you mind calling a medic?" She asked lifting her shirt and revealing a six inch long gas across her stomach, It also revealed a tattoo of a dog below her right ribs and a belly button ring, plus hip piercing, which I had never seen before.
"Babygirl?" I hear Carlton say behind me, he did not just call me that.
I'm about to come up with a snarky reply when this Remy girl answers,
"Hey Lassie, I'm always the one to get hurt huh?"
"Yes you are," He says smiling slightly, he walks over and gently picks her up, she doesn't protest. He carries her over to a nearby picnic table and lays her down.
"This is bad, Babygirl," He says gently lifting up her shirt and examining the wound.
This is not the Carlton Lassiter I know, it's kind of creeping me out.
"I've had worse," She replies, gently touching the tattoo under her ribs.
I watch as Carlton's eyes move to where her hand is and a small smile lights up his face.
"Like it?" She asks, smiling weakly, she's lost a lot of blood.
"I love it," Lassiter replies. He uses the sleeve of the hoodie he is using to try and stop the bleeding to wipe away some of the blood on it. I step closer and notice that it's not just any dog, it is a Collie that looks exactly like Lassie from the old TV series. I notice words by it too. "Carlton" written across the top and "Lassiter" across the bottom. I can also see a slight scar the tattoo is covering.
"That's where I know you from!" Shawn exclaims from behind me making me jump, "Lassie has a picture of you in his wallet!"
"You kept that picture?" She asks weakly.
"Ofcourse I did, you were no you are like a little sister to me. You were my only family in Nashville; you were there for me during my divorce."
I have no idea what to think, I'm seeing a whole new side of my partner and I'm not sure if I like it.
Ok so if enough people like it I may actually continue this story, right now I'm not sure, here's a little introduction and you can see what it is like and what you think (: please let me know!
