"Welcome our new officers." Chief said as they stood proud and center, seeing all the officers in front of them. "Here we have integrity that we need to hold. We believe as a force that we will work together to end the bad in the world. These rookies will be our family, and together we will fight." He said proudly looking at them.
One cop sitting and watching the new rookies get sworn in smiled to himself. Troy Bolton always knew he was going to be a cop. Ever since his great grandfather put his cap on him, he knew he would put his cap on his great grandson one day. Being his third year, he was looking to move on to something bigger such as the head of the gang unit. He did special work in that group for six months before he was put back as a regular cop.
"Alright and on that note, let's start our day!" Everyone clapped and they all looked over at each other. The rookies looked confused as to what they were supposed to do.
"You're supposed to walk up to the board and see who you're riding with." One man said next to her. She looked at the African American with thick hair and a smooth chiseled face. He was looking at the board and she smiled trying to lighten the mood.
"Is it that obvious that we have no idea what we're doing?" She asked giggling and he just gave her a weak smile.
"Well you are rookies…" He said walking away and Gabriella huffed looking at the board now.
"Right…Okay." She looked at the board and saw Gibbons, Ariel. She walked out of the room seeing a female with a name plate reading Gibbons. "Ariel!" She shouted stopping her. She looked over her shoulder and saw the female standing there. "Sorry, I'm your-"
"You're my rookie, I know." She said tight lipped. "Follow me!" She said, making Gabriella frown and hating her first day.
"Why are you nervous?" The blue eyed man asked to the driver of his squad car. The male shrugged and looked at him shaking his head a little. Troy chuckled. "C'mon, I'm not going to bite you." He sighed as they pulled up to a red light.
"The academy doesn't prepare you for your first day on your own." He said playing with his wedding band. "I guess it's just different, you're actually out there now and not playing with plastic guns in the gym." Troy smiled at him nodding.
"It's scary at first, but I'm confident you'll be amazing Cross." He said as the light started up.
"Call me Jason." He said confidently.
"So, why do you want to be a cop?" Ariel Gibbons asked her rookie. Gabriella looked at the road and shrugged.
"It was something that has been in the family for a while now and I guess I wanted to go with the flow." She said as Ariel laughed.
"Try better than that." She said rolling her eyes. Gabriella huffed.
"Because I hate sitting in a class room expected to change the world when I could be out in the world actually changing it and saving it." She said getting a satisfied smirk from her training officer.
"You, Montez, are going to be a great officer. Calling it now." She said as the radio broke in.
"11-10 Robber on foot running down 63rd and Quincy 10-4." Ariel looked at the street sign at 59th.
"10-4 1312 on scene." She hit the lights and they sped out and around to go to 63rd. Gabriella sat back in the chair.
"Jason you ready for your first call?" Troy asked as he hit the lights for Jason. "Were two minutes for back-up." He said reaching for the radio. "10-98 squad 4619 on its way." Jason sped up and drove through the street to reach the scene.
Gabriella was instructed to follow Ariel's every move. They drove around and saw a man that fit the description of the offender. They pulled up and he took off running again when they both fled the car chasing him. He ran down the street turning to an alley. Ariel was a few laps ahead of her as she chased him, pulling her tazer out if she got close enough. Gabriella held onto hers when she stopped and tried to figure out his next move. She looked around the neighborhood and saw a fire escape figuring he would pass back again. She climbed up the ladder looking around when she heard a voice below her out of breath.
"Man come get me." He said out of breath. "These cops chasing me and I'm getting tired." He said annoyed. She looked around and heard footsteps where she decided to jump down and tackle him. Gabriella landed perfectly as she held onto his chest knocking him down. He groaned as she held on tight hearing a few pounding feet on the sidewalk.
"Jesus Gabriella, how did you even?" Ariel asked out of breath. She looked up blowing some of her hair out of her face seeing Jason, another officer and Ariel.
"I don't know I just did it." She laughed as she handcuffed him. They all assisted her as they got him standing.
"Well you sure know how to make an entrance." The male cop said as Gabriella looked at him in the face seeing his blue eyes and beautiful tanned skinned. "I've never seen a rookie do this before." He chuckled as she smiled back giving the man his Miranda rights, walking down the alley.
"Man, you're probably the best rookie right now." Jason said smiling and patting her on the back. Gabriella smiled widely soaking it in. Ariel smiled widely and nodded her head in approval.
"Suck it Bolton, my rookie is going to be the best." She said proudly as Troy rolled his eyes at her.
She stared in the mirror and looked at herself. Her smile grew as she let out a deep breath of air thinking of her first day. You arrested a robber today"she told herself as she stood there in the bars bathroom staring at the accomplished rookie in front of her. Her dad, grandpa, and aunt would all be proud of her. She grabbed a paper towel, and left the bathroom walking over to the rookie table sitting there and smiling.
"What's got you Montez?" A fellow rookie Zeke Baylor asked her. Zeke was a friend that became close with her during the academy. He would look out for her from other asshole rookies who would beat on her in training.
"I just can't believe I did something on my first day…" She said beaming with pride. All the others at the table rolled her eyes. As she sighed.
"Yeah well I had to arrest a prostitute." A female said at the table as she sipped her beer. Gabriella looked at her and she glared back.
Taylor McKessie was one of her best friends from grade school where they grew up together. Gabriella's father made her be friends with the other district cops daughter, Taylor, so that there would be something relatable for the two. They hated each other at first, but when Taylor's dad was killed in the line of duty, the Montez's treated her as their own and grew to be sisters. As they grew older they knew their fit was being on the front line after Gabriella failed her test to be a lawyer and Taylor hating her internship to be a judge. The Montez's and McKessie's were always involved in law enforcement where they knew they had to continue the legacy. Zeke and Jason laughed sipping their beer as Taylor was angered by them laughing at her.
"Okay, well what did you two ass hats do today!?" She snapped as they simmered down.
"Well I saw Gabriella jump from a fire escape." Jason said laughing as she smiled, Taylor rolling her eyes forced to continue the conversation. She looked over to Gabriella beeming with pride. Taylor sucked up her pride and frustrations, looking at Jason.
"Tell me more Jason." She said honestly interested as she looked at her best friend since grade school giving her a small smile.
"It was insane, it was like a jaguar jumping down and scaring off prey or something." He said as Taylor laughed real loud.
"How did you know that would be the building he would walk past?" She asked her as she shrugged drinking her beverage.
"I couldn't even tell you." She said smirking taking a sip of her beer.
"Alright, enough enough. How's Cindy?" Taylor asked facing Jason.
On the opposite side of the bar, Chad and Troy sat at their usual spot looking at the rookies.
"Man, these guys are amazing. We don't have to worry about shitty rookies anymore." Chad said smiling at Troy.
"Yeah me too. I can't wait." He said staring at the dark haired cop that literally fell from the sky. He observed the way her nose crinkled when she laughed, and the way she genuinely listened to conversations. He was enchanted by her beauty and needed to be her partner.
"What are you looking at?" Chad asked snapping him out of it. Troy quickly turned toward the front of the bar and focused on the TV.
"Nothing." He said looking suspicious as Chad rolled his eyes.
"Man, don't tell me you're falling for a rookie already." He said annoyed. "How did Cheryl worked out?" Troy winced.
"You can't use that one against me…That was an unfair situation." He said scooting to the bar closer.
"All I'm saying is that things are going to be stricter in the coming year and its only August. So we have to make sure we have our head in the game." He said throwing his beer back. "Alicia, can we have one more please?" He asked winking at the bar tender getting a nod from her. Troy chuckled shaking his head as he looked over his shoulder real quick while Chad was distracted.
Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton. Partners of 1919. He liked the sound of that.
