Sam Swarek, a young rookie, sat at his desk filling out his training officers paper work. He hated filling out paper work. Not only was it boring, he figured he could be putting his training to use and protecting the citizens. Apparently no one else thought this.

"Going to the Penny tonight?" His best friend Oliver Shaw asked him.

Sam thought about it. A good beer after a long day with paper work always sounded nice.

"Maybe. Bringing Gloria with you?" He batted his eyes at Oliver.

Oliver rolled his eyes at Sam. "As a matter of fact, I think I might. You think she's hot don't you?"

Sam smirked. "For you, she's quite the dime piece."

"Whatever. She's quite the catch."

Sam nodded and gave Oliver a small smile. To be honest, Gloria was good for him. They had the same values and Oliver couldn't stop talking about her. Sam was pretty sure Oliver had even mentioned the word marriage.

"I guess I could swing by and give you moral support."

"Who are you giving moral support to Swarek?"

Tommy McNally, Sam's training officer was a hard ass. Sam tried to think of a better word to describe him, but that was the only one that came to mind.

When he was paired with Tommy two months ago, he thought his life was coming to end. Not only, did Tommy make him do all his paper work, he also had some interesting ways of teaching.

Instead of the normal assignments the other rookies took on with their training officers, Tommy always picked the longest most difficult ones.

Sam looked up at his TO, "uh, Shaw and I were just thinking about going to the Penny tonight."

Shaw nodded scared of Sam's training officer.

Tommy looked between the two and smirked. "Not tonight Sammy."

Sam inwardly groaned when Tommy decided to call him Sammy.

Tommy continued, "my daughter, Andy, is coming home and I'm having a family dinner. She's interested in the Academy and I figured why not introduce her to my rookie."

Sam's eyes went wide. Dinner with Tommy and his daughter, nothing good could come of that.

Oliver laughed silently to himself, until Sam gave him a look.

"Well, I wouldn't want to intrude."

Tommy waved his hand. "Nonsense Swarek. It's a done deal, my house at seven thirty. Be there or be square." He laughed at his own joke.

All Sam could do was nod. "I'll be there sir."

As Tommy walked away he could hear Shaw laughing.

"Oh god, that was classic."

Sam turned to him, gave him a glare, and proceeded to walk away.
