Preface
For those of you, who are familiar with the previous story, welcome to Act-II. Hopefully you value my thoughts enough that you have read the author's note at the end of my work and agree with it. But I apologize if you do not agree.
Before you proceed I would like to request that kindly begin reading this with an open and an accepting mind. The backdrop is the same as the show; their professions and their characteristics remain but the story is mine. I realize AU is not the exact term for this but still I know people sometimes compare the ongoing show and a story they are reading. So, please do not do that.
I would like to add here that this story is not just about their jobs or the cases. It is about Gail, and Holly, and what they become together. So the involvement of other characters will be quite minimal during the story.
Many readers have expressed interest in including M rated content in this story. I have never written anything M rated and I will be honest here; I am too terrified that if I try to write it, I might not be able to deliver the standard of work you readers have come to expect from me. But, I will surely give it a try and with time, if possible, include it in this story.
Lastly, I would again like to thank each and every one of you for the support and love. I really do hope that my work doesn't disappoint even a single reader but I realize it might be a little far-fetched. But anyway, I will look forward to the support on this story too. Thank you with the bottom of my heart. I can't repeat it enough times and I most certainly can't put it into mere words.
Hopefully you all will enjoy the Act-II as much as the Act-I.
