DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters.

NOTE: While it starts with the ending of the first season of Night Shift, it really has nothing to do with the show. It is merely a starting point. While I enjoy other characters, I am a big fan of Brenda and pretty much anyone she is paired with. Look for the possibility of old characters resurfacing much like they did in my last story.

Chapter One

Jason turned his attention back to Robin, but his mind wasn't in it. Robin kept talking and he kept nodding and somehow responding with appropriate answers but he couldn't get the vision out of his head. A brunette woman sitting in the waiting area with a tribal tattoo, similar or exactly like Brenda's. But then the thought that he actually knew what Brenda's tattoo looked like made him cringe. He saw way more than he needed to when they were married.

"I'll walk you out," Robin said and he nodded and the two began down the hall to the main entrance.

Sonny was waiting for him in the car when they walked out.

"Thanks again for saving my life," Robin said with a smile.

"Anytime," he said before walking to the open door and sliding in next to Sonny.

"You okay?" Sonny asked. "The shooting was all over the news."

"Yeah." Jason looked out the window at the hospital. She was standing the third floor window looking out at the car. But between the tinted windows and the distance, her face was hard to make out.

"What are you looking at?" Sonny asked.

Jason shook his head and pulled his gaze away from the window. "What'd I miss?" Jason asked as the car pulled out of the parking lot.

She stood their watching them. She was pretty sure he hadn't really seen her. She was supposed to be in Europe, off at fashion shows, staying out of trouble. Now if only her car would arrive and she could get out of the hospital before someone noticed her standing there for no reason.

"Can I help you?" Robin asked. She would have recognized that voice anywhere.

She froze for a second and quickly thought up an answer before she turned around. Plastering on a smile she turned and looked at Robin.

"Brenda? What are you doing here?" she asked hugging one of her best friends and big sister.

"I came to see my little sister. Why else?" Brenda asked.

"Without any notice?"

"I'm being spontaneous lately," Brenda replied putting her hands in the pockets of her jeans.

"I'd say. Sit down."

Brenda said down on the same couch as before and Robin sat down next to her.

"When did you get here?"

"A couple hours ago. Took the red eye. Found out the hard way that the PC Hotel is no longer there."

"Yeah. It burned down." Robin smiled at her best friend. "Don't you have to work?"

Brenda shrugged. "I'm always working no matter where I am. When are you off of work?"

Robin looked at her watch. "Now. I'm staying at the Metro Court until I find a new apartment. Why don't you stay with me? Where are your bags?"

"With the driver. I told him to find something to do while I came to find you. He should be back any minute."

"Let me get my stuff and we can go."

Brenda nodded and smiled as Robin got up and walked towards the doctor's lounge to grab her stuff and change.

That was easier than she thought it would be.
