Power to the Girls
Girls just want to have fun-Cyndi Lauper
Sharon Raydor was not the type to do sleepovers or throw parties for the people in her life. In fact she devoted a lot of energy to avoiding these things.
So how did she end up sitting in her living room watching TV with Sykes?
She didn't know when the situation got out of control but Raydor imagined it was after Provenza made Sykes cry with his mocking.
Provenza was always picking on Sykes but today seemed to be worse than usual for some reason. After four hours of listening to Provenza, Sykes finally excused herself to go to the bathroom. But Raydor saw the tears in her eyes just before Sykes left the squad room.
Making up an excuse to the rest of the team, Raydor followed Amy.
When Raydor saw that Sykes really was crying she made a snap decision. Before she knew it Raydor had invited Sykes over to her apartment for a girl's night, promising that Rusty was spending the night with his friends.
When Sykes first got into the apartment things were a bit uncomfortable but making dinner seemed to help loosen the mood. Soon they were laughing and joking about the men on the team which seemed to steady Sykes.
While eating dinner the two women watched the sappiest movie that they could find off the menu. Sappy movies were a secret love to Raydor but she felt that Sykes could be trusted to keep her secret.
After the movie Sykes decided that she needed to go home but before she left she turned to Raydor.
"Thanks Captain" Sykes said, feeling better about herself after talking to Raydor.
"No problem. We girls have to stick together against Provenza."
