A/N So this is the sequel to A New Chapter of Their Lives. I suggest you read that first, if you haven't. To those of you who want to read, the first chapter (this one) is basically a recap off everything that happened in A New Chapter of Their Lives. So you don't get confused about anything that happened. If you don't want to read the recap (recap over a 110.000 words.. I just couldn't make anything short..) or think you remember everything, go on and go to chapter 2.
In the beginning the recaps are pretty long but they get shorter when the story progresses.
Recap A New Chapter of Their Lives:
Chapter 1: New teammembers
After Lew died they needed a new teammate, Greg interviewed several candidates but none of them were good enough. Then a girl/woman walked into SRU, Zoë. She handed off her resume to Ed, who gave it to Greg. He checked it out, she had come back from Iraq a month ago and was honorably discharged. She also had a letter of recommendation. He just finished reading the resume when they got a hot call.
Greg introduced himself. He told her to stay here and listen in with headphones to get an idea of the job. She offered to come with them instead, saying that she might just be helpful. Greg let her come with them.
At the scene Zoë stayed in the truck with Greg and they talked about the job, Iraq and losing friends on the job.
Then the call escalated and Zoë offered to go in and help the guys, the subject was a woman screaming at the guys. Greg folded and let her go in, asking Spike to background check her.
Chapter 2: You never lie to an subject!
Zoë talked to the woman and found out she was raped, Spike matched the guy she was holding hostage to the police sketch. Zoë build rapport by telling the woman her own story (part of it). Revealing she had been raped as well, Ed didn't believe anything she was saying. Continuing to tell her 'You never lie to a subject.' He thought she was lying because Spike's background check had come up empty.
Zoë turned her radio off, pissing off Ed. Spike learned she immigrated to Canada a month ago so was still trying to figure out what happened before that. Eventually Zoë was able to talk down the subject, she walked outside and threw up. Greg followed her out, he told her 'Judging by your lunch in the trashcan you didn't lie.' Zoë suspected they background checked her, Greg confirmed this. There was a file on her from when she was 13, but it was sealed so they still had no idea what exactly happened.
Ed then talked to her about her PTSD, she told him it was gone mostly except for some nightmares.
Chapter 3: Ready to get your ass kicked?
Greg welcomed Zoë into the team. He then told her what tests she would need to do and told her to be at SRU at 6 am the next day for her physical.
Ed acted cold towards her, Zoë tried to get him to like her, it didn't work. Her first test was running on the treadmill, she succeeded. She mentioned Lew, what didn't help with Ed being more friendly.
She then sparred with Sam, winning the first and 'easy' round. The second she lost and Sam cuffed her. Neither Sam or Ed wanted to uncuff her, saying they didn't have the key and grabbing it from her sweats-pocket would be sexual harassment. Telling her Greg probably had a second key.
Chapter 4: He could sexually harass me anytime
She asked Winnie for an extra pair of keys, but she didn't have any. Zoë had forgotten that she had keys in her pocket and continued to the men's locker-room, to find Greg.
Greg was shirtless, she asked him to uncuff her. Telling him that Ed and Sam wouldn't and said he had an extra key. He told her he didn't, she then remembered the key was in her pocket. He reached into it to grab the keys. Thoughts came to her mind, things you shouldn't think about your maybe-boss.
She then had her shooting test, first paper targets, then a hall with lights sounds and targets. She met Jules, she hadn't met her yet because she was on sick-leave.
Ed still wasn't warming up to her and she got a 99 on her first shooting-test. They bet on the second, Greg won, betting that she wouldn't hit any good guys.
She talked to Greg and he told her to be at SRU at 6 again the next day, for the lie detector test.
Chapter 5: Painful memories
Zoë almost peppersprayed Greg in the elevator, she was looking at houses in the newspaper and didn't see him. She told him she was living in a hotel, temporarily, until she found a house.
He applied all the sensors for the liedetector test, Zoë's inappropriate thoughts returned again. He then sat down and noticed her heart was beating like crazy. She told him about Iraq, how she was abducted for being on the presidents security detail. They hooked her up to a lie detector like this one and when she didn't answer they tortured her. She then told him she could fool the lie detector if she wanted to.
He asked her the basic questions. Finding out her parents were both dead, died when she was 13, and concluded that it must have something to do with the sealed file.
They did a weigh-in, Zoë had to pull Greg across the floor. Memories from Iraq coming back full force.
Chapter 6: Lunchtime!
Zoë had been accepted in the team after she passed all the tests. As the rookie she got to get lunch, Greg told her to go get it from a place across the street, offending Sam, as he had to get it from across town in lunch rush hour.
She met Owen and Murray O'Malley, Owen owned the restaurant/pub and Murray is his son. He tried to set her up with Murray but she lied and told him she just got out of a relationship.
She and Greg ate their lunch together while the rest was engaged in a heated discussion. They talked about her mother and Lew. Zoë passed Owen's message on to Greg, saying he should join the team this time on their weekly drinks on Friday. She asked why he usually didn't join them. He was about to tell her he was a former alcoholic when Spike interrupted him, telling Zoë to tell a funny story.
She said she didn't know any funny stories, most stories she knew were from the army. After some encouragement from the team she told them a story about a stray dog they took in, after the dog followed them all day and they found out he knew how to sniff drugs. She told them about how bad the team wanted to take her back home and that it was up to her. She told them about Joey, who had to check the dog for listening devices.
She told them that they took the dog bag home, Jules asked what happened to the dog. Zoë told them she retired and lives on a farm now. Spike was sure Joey got to take the dog but Zoë told them Adam's wife could keep her, telling her team Adam killed himself two days after they got back.
Chapter 7: I'm always sure
They got a hot call right after Zoë had finished the dog-story. It was on a high school. The same school Clark goes to. 911 patched a caller from inside the school through. It was a kid who got shot. The kid gave them a description of the shooter. Greg told him how to slow down the bleeding and to hold on.
They contact the kid, Steve, again when they had set up command post. He told them there were two other shooters. They shot Steve again, Alpha and Bravo were just outside the door. Spike asked for Zoë to come pick Steve up, He was still alive.
Zoë carried him to the exit, while Spike made sure there weren't any shooters in their way. There was another shot and a lot of kids ran to the front door, they let them out one by one. Amongst was Clark, he was fine. Clark recognized the kids and they were able to ID them.
When Spike and Zoë were on their way back to the command post Spike fell because of a trip wire. One of the subjects, jeff, had a gun to his head. Zoë eventually had to make the shot after Greg's Scorpio, killing a 14 year old kid.
They were able to corner in the other two subject, eventually they both put their guns down.
Zoë talked to Greg back at SRU, after she was questioned about the shot, they would go to O'Malleys for a drink because it was Friday.
Chapter 8: Zoë, help us
Zoë met the guys at the bar and gave them a round. Spike drove her to the hotel after, revealing that the view from her hotel room is the school where she killed the 14-yo kid. He offered for her to stay at his place, which she declined.
Zoë woke up from a nightmare the next morning, her team was killed in the dream. She couldn't sleep any further and went into SRU early and started a work-out.
She got into a discussion with Ed about the hours of sleep she had (1 hour) and he uttered his concerns for her. Zoë told him it would be fine in a day or two.
At the end of the chapter they walk back to the gym and Ed asks to talk to Greg.
Chapter 9: You're coming to the barbecue, right?
Ed and Greg talk about Zoë in the briefing room. Ed tells him he should talk to Zoë, cause she only slept for an hour. Telling him all of them had friends and family to talk about and Zoë only had them. Greg agrees to talk to her.
Greg talked to Zoë while the team was prepping training for a training exercise. She told him about her night and that she would be fine, he told her he was here if she needed him.
Ed and Zoë had some friendly banter during monthly clean-up in which she didn't have to participate.
A week had passed, Zoë and Greg been laughing a lot together lately. Ed noticed Greg was lot more cheerful since she joined the team. He was starting to get a little worried Greg was falling for her.
They hazed Zoë during the obstacle course, replacing the Kevlar with cream cheese. Zoë met Sophie and noticed she was pregnant.
Greg kept joining them at the bar on Friday's, he and Zoë always had a good laugh together. They trained together a lot as well. Which didn't help with Ed's growing concerns about his friend's feelings for Zoë. But anytime Ed brought it up, Greg would dismiss it.
Zoë woke up from another nightmare screaming and bathing in sweat. She had been doing so almost every night since she shot the kid, three weeks before. She wanted to call him but thought it was a little early on their day off and killed time looking for houses.
She called Greg later that morning, they met up at a place for lunch where they talked. They talked about the nightmares, Greg revealed that he knew she was the only one left from her time in Iraq. She and Adam had come back, but he killed himself 2 days later. She asked him to tell her something about himself, since he knew about her nightmares, parents and Iraq. He told her how his wife left him, had taken his kid and his alcoholism. He revealed that he is 10 years sober that day.
Greg went to look at a house with Zoë, wondering how she could afford the place.
She and Greg were going to celebrate his 10 years sober when Ed called, he would join them for paintball.
Ed couldn't join them for dinner because he was going home to Sophie. So Zoë and Greg went to the restaurant.
They had talked during dinner, afterwards he drove her home and walked her up to her room. She lay in bed that night think about how similar to a date it was, the only thing missing was a kiss. Greg was having the same kinds of thoughts.
Chapter 10: Running days
Zoë got up early, the team bbq was today. She went for a run in the morning, she didn't think about where she was going. Which is how she ran into Ed. He was running as well, and happened to live right around the corner. Ed invited her over for breakfast.
Sophie asked if Zoë could go to the store with her, she still had some things to get for the bbq and Ed couldn't go with her. Zoë would pick her up in an hour.
In the car to the store Zoë told Sophie that her parents were murdered and she witnessed it. Zoë asked Sophie not to tell anyone, since no one knew.
In the mall, there was a shooter, Zoë took a bullet for Sophie and told her to go inside a drugstore to get bandages for her shoulder. While Sophie was running to the drugstore Zoë called SRU to tell them about the shooting. Winnie issued a hot call and Donna's team went out.

Sophie and Ed were also in the room, Sophie was fine.
