Chapter 1
Andy was actually on time for Parade that morning and she was feeling rather proud of herself. She took the coffee that Sam offered her and sat down next to Traci whilst Sam and Jerry stood next to their table.
Parade started off as usual, Frank giving them their motivation speech and an update of everything that happened the day before.
Andy's attention was bought back into the room when he rustled his papers and tapped them against the front desk.
"Okay Coppers of 15, we have a new undercover operation that we need to get started on,"
Andy could almost feel everyone's excitement as they all straightened and started listening to their Staff Sergeant.
Frank continued briefly briefing everyone on what the operation would involve. Frank finished the brief and got down to business.
"Now, it would really be helpful if we had someone with a decent voice so we don't have to go out of our way to sort the vocals out."
His eyes swept over the room and Andy felt Traci start to speak. She kicked her and Traci yelped and shot Andy daggers.
Frank looked at Traci, "Officer Nash?"
Traci quickly got out of her seat and as she ran to hide behind Jerry and Sam she quickly said, "Andy can sing!"
Andy tried to sink low in her chair and wished that she could disappear from the Parade room. Frank looked at her questioningly. "McNally, is this true,"
Andy shook her head and mumbled, "Not really Sir,"
Traci chose this moment to but in again, "That's not true, she's amazing!"
Andy just looked at Traci incredulously. Traci shrugged and tried to stay hidden behind Jerry but he pulled her up next to him.
Frank looked around the room to see if any of the other Officers or Rookie's had anything to say about it, but they all shrugged.
"Well, we really don't have time to find someone else so Andy you're up."
Andy looked like she was about to protest but Frank cut her off as he walked to the door whilst saying his catchphrase, today it was, "Serve, Protect and convince McNally to sing,"
As soon as people started to leave Andy got up from her chair and stalked over to Traci.
Traci backed away with her hands up dramatically as Sam and Jerry looked at them in amusement.
"How could you Traci! You know I don't sing in front of people!"
"But you've sung in front of me before-"
Andy cut her off by yelling, "Yeah but we were drunk!"
Traci rolled her eyes and told Andy that she's heard her sing other times when they were both completely sober.
"When?" Andy asked curiously,
"That time that I came to pick you up and you were playing you're guitar."
Andy was silent as she looked helplessly at Traci before throwing her hands in the air before yelling, "Fine!"
She stalked out of the Parade Room leaving Traci, Jerry and Sam speechless.
Sam looked at Traci curiously, "Is she good?"
Traci smiled and nodded eagerly, "Amazing, I've never heard anything like it!"
The three separated as they left the Parade room. They were all thinking of Andy.
Traci felt sort of guilty, she knew that Andy didn't like to sing in front of people, but she expressed her feelings so passionately when she sang.
