Told from Stella and Shannon's point of view.
I have trawled through all of Season 2 and most of Season 3 to bring you this Stella/Shannon story. Told from Stella and Shannon's point of view, it shows the possible romance, the moments we couldn't quite put our fingers on, and the full-on flirting that we've come to love.
First Day
Stella
I still remember her first day, clear as crystal. I walked into the locker room and dumped a vest on the bench in front of her while I was lacing up my boots.
"Stella". I briefly introduced myself. I was a little shirty at that moment in time, I mean, Dom, Michael and myself still smelt like that awful gas, and Shannon was just lacing up her boots.
"Thanks, Stella." She smiled at me.
As I pulled on my vest, she cleared her throat. "Oh, I'm Shannon, sorry."
"I know," I said quickly, smiling at her.
"Got any advice for my first day?" As she said that, I felt something inside of me click.
"No." Not good, Stella!
"Well, good to meet you." She smiled again, and I smiled right back.
Shannon
I knew the back story of these guys. The Tactical Response team, lead by a certain Lawson Blake, and kept under control by Inspector Kerry Vincent. I honestly didn't think I'd get picked for the team - Lawson and I go way back. But Kerry makes the final decision, and it was thanks to her that I got the job.
After accidently walking in on Josh and Lawson (definitely a career-limiting move) I made my way to the locker room. As I quickly got changed into my TR gear, I pictured the beautiful woman from the photo on the wall in the kitchen. Dark hair, dark skin... and those beautiful grey eyes... I quickly pulled myself up. Shannon, what are you thinking? You're straight as an arrow.
Michael came first, joking around.
And then she entered the room.
I was just finishing lacing up my boots, when a TR vest was placed on the bench before me. I looked up, to see her.
And we all know how it goes from there.
