These stories are what I think could have happened between Hailey and Adam in Season 5 Episodes.
Missing moments between those two.
S05,E04: "Snitch"
Hailey left her gun and badge on the table, taking a deep breath before taking off her jacket.
-I'm sorry about the mess. -she said looking over her shoulder. -You can close the door now. You're letting the cold in. -
Adam looked at her as if she had grown two heads, but he finally shut the door.
He looked very out of place inside her small apartment.
-You want anything to drink? -she asked him-
He hesitated again-Coffee would be good, but I can't stay long.-
-I know. You mentioned that. - she assured him before starting the coffee maker. Truth was she was more of a tea kind of girl at nights, but maybe coffee wouldn't be so bad. She took two cups of the counter, busying herself at making the coffee.
-I just wanted to make sure you got home safely.-
His words took her by surprise and her face showed it. -Adam.. I am a cop. You know that. You shouldn't worry about me. - she assured him. - Besides it's not the first time we've had drinks at Molly's and I've come home on my own. You're telling me all of those times you were worried about me? -she asked him, her tone implying the irony.
But again he looked at her with those eyes. Those brown eyes that seemed to speak to her with no actual words, ever since they had the disagreement regarding the Curtis case.
Like it was normal for his eyes to speak to her like that. As if they didn't need words to talk.
-I am fine. Really. - she told him, looking away to serve the coffee in the cups. She needed him to go home. To get away from and leave her alone so she could think about the last few days and everything that had happened.
-Here. - she passed him the cup of coffee and he took two steps towards her and he was right in front of her.
He was very tall compared to her. Probably Atwater's height. Taller than Jay for sure.
-I want to thank you again for what you did regarding that witness. -he told her, before taking a sip of his cup.
-I told you. I didn't do it for you. -she told him. She took a couple of steps to the side and leaned against the counter. She felt she needed to distance herself from him.
-Why did you do it then?-he asked her, looking for her eyes.
Hailey hesitated and he noticed.
-I get it, I am the new girl. I just want you guys to know I am team player too. I protect my own, but that doesn't mean I will break the rules by doing it. I prefer finding my way around it. -she told him, looking at him in the eye at last.
-I trust you Hailey.. I know I am not the easiest person to talk to but… this case proved that I'd be a fool not to trust you.-he looked down and Hailey couldn't help but smile slightly.
His phone interrupted the conversation and he grabbed it to answer it.
-Yeah. -while he talked, Hailey kept her gaze on him.-No, I'll be there tomorrow morning. Of course. Have a good night. -he hung up and noticed her eyes on him.
-You should go home.-
-Yeah..-he left the cup on the table and walked up to her.
-I…-she hesitated again, but couldn't help it at seeing him again so close.
-I should be sleeping right now. I am picking up my nephew to get him at school early tomorrow. -he said while he took some of her hair to move it away from her face.
-You have a nephew?-she asked him, her eyes locked on his.
-Yeah. A little troublemaker.-he said, half smiling.
She smiled while looking at him. -Thank you for bringing me home.-
-Thank you for today.-he told her- I'll see you tomorrow ok?-
-Tomorrow.-she told him.
