A/N Thanks all and welcome back.
This story and its Characters live in my "Somebody misses her hug" universe, they are not essential reading but will probably explain a great many themes and concepts which may arise in later chapters so give them a go
Sergeant Grey had wrapped up his morning briefing by informing the 'boots' that their Training Officers were going to be getting a break and they had been reassigned to other departments for the week, a great opportunity to get some knowledge and exposure to how the wider department operated, he had said. Grey had handed the tree recruits their new orders and dismissed them with a wave,
"Oh, Nolan, try and stay out of trouble!" He called out as Officer Nolan left the room.
So here he was, standing in the middle of homicide, dressed in his civilian clothes and taking in his new surroundings, it was impressive. He had been ordered to report to a Detective Chloe Decker at 0930 hours, he had heard that she was an impressive officer with one of the highest closure rates in the department but so far their paths had never crossed, he found himself slightly relieved that had been the case, not that he was intimidated by the officer, just he hadn't been called to any murder scenes.
Nolan took a glance at his watch, it still was only 0915 but has yet not seen sight of his new boss for the week, he didn't feel right just hovering around her desk or that he had the balls to just take a seat there, so he hung back and tried to keep out of the way of various detectives bustling around, "be a thorn in no-ones side!" He said to himself and continued to wait patiently until he was pulled back into the room by a very chirpy
"Wut up detective peeps!" Was playfully cheered by a petite woman, her dark ponytail swished from side to side and her smile was infectious and he couldn't help but match it, she was heading towards him, "You need something buddy?"
"No, I'm good thanks, just trying not to get in anyone's way," Nolan still held the smile
"Well, ya in my way," the young woman raised her eyebrows
"S'cuse me?" Nolan responded,
"You're standing between me and science mister!" Nolan looked around and realised he was blocking the door to the forensics lab,
"Oh, sorry about that, let me get the door for you," he quickly spun and reached for the handle and swung it open for her,
"No worries and thanks." She smiled brilliantly at him again, "So can I help you with something, you're looking a little lost there?"
"Oh no, I'm fine really, just waiting for Detective Decker, I have been assigned to her for the week, I'm Officer Nolan, John Nolan," he extended his hand, expecting her to shack but was engulfed in a powerful hug instead,
"Arrrrr, is it bring the kids to work day already? You will have a great time, Chloe is awesome!" She was giggling and rambling a little having released him, I'm Ella, Ella Lopez, lab tech, while she talking she was unashamedly giving his arms a squeeze in an attempt to gauge the muscles beneath, "have to say John, you are rather ruggedly handsome!" Mischief twinkling in her eyes,
"Not the first time I've been told!" He smiled down at her and enjoyed the harmless bit of flirting, he knew the woman was playing with him but it was harmless.
"Yo Decker, got ya boot over here!" Ella had seen Chloe enter and started shooing John Nolan out of her lab, "See you later John." Ella gave him a little wave. She lent against the door frame and watched Chloe meet John, she thought about texting her best friend and adopted big brother, letting him know what he could expect should he come in today. Would that make her evil and a bad person, "Nah!" She did after all know the ultimate authority on what was bad and evil, so she fired off a short message, which was quickly answered, 'This should be fun!" devil emoji.
A/N – thanks for taking the time to give this a chance, let me know your thoughts?
I need to finish off one of my other stories before getting back to this, shouldn't be too long a wait but I wanted to get this intro in play to see what the interest was like for this type of cross over
