Chapter One The Day that Everyone's Life Changes"
It's been a few weeks, since his partner Romano left the precinct for good, needing a change in his life after losing his girlfriend. While leaving Hooker to be on his own, in his squad car. Captain Sheridan, had told him that he had no choice in the matter with having no one to take Romano's place.
Having just arrived at the precinct, Hooker wasn't in the best of moods, after heading for the bar last night to have a few drinks with Corrigan and Stacy.
Hooker goes into the locker room, to change into his usual uniform, before heading on out to take roll call, and go about the morning routine with the officers, including a new member name Addison Whitfield having transferred in from New York City. She needed a new change of scenery after being shot in her arm trying to catch a robbery suspect. She has been a police officer for the last ten years, she is divorced with no children at the age of 39 years old.
When Hooker walked into the room, he was able to see everyone, including seeing a very beautiful woman with blue eyes.
He asked for a roll call, including Addison Whitfield.
She was able to introduce herself to everyone including Corrigan and Stacy.
It was at this point, when Whitfield told Hooker that she was going to be his partner in a part time position.
While handing her orders, signed by the Captain himself, that he never even bothered to say a word to him. This really ticked him off greatly, but decided to stay calm in front of everyone.
And today was one of those days that Hooker would be not alone, while having to watch her every move, to keep him at a uneven position in the squad car.
After discussing the day activities, he tells Whitfield to head on out to the car, while he goes to talk with the Captain.
When Hooker knocked on the Captain's door, looks up from his paperwork, and knowing full well, why Hooker needed to speak with him in the first place.
"I see that your met your new partner, if only temporary at the moment." He said to the Captain, while not believing how his day has started for him, along with a brute of a headache.
"Why today of all days, Captain?" He asked very gently with his question.
"Pressure from down town, the mayor and the governor, doesn't want any police officer to be alone for now on, having to be just too dangerous of a situation to be alone." He says to his friend, even though, he can be a real in the ass at times from over the years.
Very well, I will see what I can do to stay calm, even if I don't know a thing about the woman." He replied while getting out of his seat.
"By the way, Here is her file, you can read it, when your out on patrol or having stopped for lunch or dinner."
He takes the report from his hands to head on out for his squad car.
