So the grammars not perfect but who is ?
Abigail?" Stave called out as he entered the parade room " dinner at the Peck residence Friday night .. oh and Mom's on the wall path she wants to know why you're ignoring her calls ?
Gail cringed "Firstly ? If you call me Abigail again I'll shoot you in the face . Secondly ? No way ...
It's not up for discussion Gail" Steve grinned " unless you want mom to come looking for you ?
"Leo and I will be there " Traci smiled leaning on Gail's shoulders
"Well that's great .. But still not happening " Gail sulked folding her arms .
"Gail ? Suck it up .. Your going " Steve ordered
"Ok ok settle down we have work to do "Oliver spoke out as he entered the room taking centre stage
" ok so we have a few things to run through but firstly I have been informed from the highers that they want one of you wenches to head up state and take part in some teen recruiting camp
Recruiting what what? Andy asked
Oliver laughed " basically it's to get teens interested in becoming cops .. Educating them on the kinda work we do ' the pros and cons excuse the pun " he laughed " get it cons?
"Yeah yeah " the cops all muttered not finding their leaders joke funny ..
Any who " Oliver continued " It's not just cops there'll be firefighters" forensics' doctors and so forth it looks pretty cool and should be fun
I think that's sounds awesome" Chloe clapped causing Gail to roll her eyes at her
"When is it ? The cheerful women asked
" well it's for a long weekend " Oliver explained " it starts Friday morning so who ever goes needs to travel up Thursday night ..
" I'll do it " Gail jumped waving her hand in the air ..
Her fellow cops laughed loudly
good one peck " Oliver joked
no seriously " Gail urged " I'll go
You sure ? Oliver frowned " I mean there's gonna be annoying kids there You would have to talk to them " be "friendly " he air quoted with his fingers
They might even want to talk to you .
" I'm going " Gail said adamantly
Oliver and the rest of the gang looked on shocked that Gail of all people would offer herself to such a thing . She wasn't friendly' she hated public speaking and she certainly didn't like any kind of professional social gatherings
Ok Peck your on" Oliver said giving her the thumbs up before he continued with the rest of the daily duties
Gail turned to her brother with a very pleased with herself grin " ah shucks looks like I can't make moms dinner after all ..
Steve shook his head " your gonna regret that "
" I would rather hang out with a bunch of snotty nosed kids then sit with mom for even a minute hearing what a let down I am ... " so no I won't regret it "you guys have fun though " she laughed turning back to listen to Oliver
...
Gail pulled Chris' truck into a parking space at the front of the camp building stepping out looking at the surroundings
Piece of cake peck " she said to herself .
Uh excuse me ? " a small balding man spoke from behind her
"You can't park there " it's for employees
Gail stared at him coldly shaking her head
"See ? He pointed to the sign in front of the trucks bumper " it says employee only
Gail rolled her eyes " are you an employee ?
" me ? He pointed to himself " uh no I'm here for the teen camp "
I'm a ..
Who cares" Gail interrupted " unless I'm in your space which clearly I'm not .. I'd say it's none of your business
The small man stood with his mouth open no reply could be made due to his complete shock at the young lady in front of him's rudeness .
Gail shot him a smile before heading to the office flinging her bag over her shoulder
" you ok Hurb?
The small man shook his head still staring at Gail
" I've never met such a rude young lady in all my life " he gasped
The brunette women he was with looked over with raised eyebrows getting a glimpse of platinum blonde hair as it disappeared out of view
"Come on "she smiled running the shocked mans arm " let's get checked in ..
Once inside the building Gail gave her name and showed her ID before being asked to take a seat as she flicks through a magazine she hears the familiar Whiny voice of the man from the parking lot ..
Hubert craven " he announced to the receptionist causing Gail to accidentally laugh out loud
Hubert shot her an annoyed look .. she had been there 10 mins and already made an enemy which didn't bother her because she wasn't planing on making friends anyways
"Holly Stewart "
Gail's ears twitched the sweet sound of that voice made Gail take note
As she looked up her eyes almost popped out of her head ..
This "holly Stewart " was with weird small parking protester man
Gail sat watching as the brunette checked in they two were asked to take a seat .. Hurb sat across from Gail keeping as far away from her as possible ..
"That's the rude girl " he told Holly
Holly took a good look at the " rude girl " noticing how porcelain like her skin was .. She looked harmless enough " holly thought .
" maybe she's had a long drive and she's tired " Holly said
"Hmmmmm" hurb huffed folding her arms " I've met people like her before .. Rebels " he bitched " they walk around like they are above the law " mark my words dear Holly
Gail heard the whole conversation and couldn't help but smile .. Getting off her seat she wondered over to the desk
" hey how much longer do we have to wait ?
The girl behind the desk scanned the Clio board in front of her " uh just waiting on 3 more people and I'll show you to your accommodation "
You could just direct me " Gail smiled " I don't mind showing myself to my room
Impatient was well as rude " Hurb pipped up
"Sshhhhhhh " holly hushed tapping his arm
Gail turned to the whiny man to say something but her breath got catch in her throat when she was met with these huge dark beautiful eyes ..
This women was breath taking even with her hair tied back only a hint of makeup and her glasses on top of her head ..
Gail gain composure what was she thinking ... the hot lady was with the grumpy man who hated her so it was obvious the women probably wasn't a fan also ..
"Hey grandad " Gail barked " pipped down ..
Holly bit down hard on her bottom lip so not to laugh .. This women had balls "she thought
You see what I mean doctor Stewart ? Tired my eye .. He moaned
Doctor ? Gail thought " great beautiful but nerdy which probably equaled boring ..
Holly squeezed the mans shoulder "it's ok .. She smiled .. It's ok ..
"Ok that's everyone here now so if you would like to follow me " the girl from the desk smiled
" finally. Gail said loudly following the women as the walked across the parking lot ...
Hurb fumed at the fact gail was still parked in the wrong bay
Calm down gramps I'll move it tomorrow " wouldn't want the Doctor here to have to resuscitate you now would I ? Gail smirked
Holly looked at Hurb shaking her head to tell me not to react .. She sensed Gail was having far to much fun at his expense ..
" ok everyone " so this is where your be staying "
Gail looked around there was no " hotel room" it was a big apartment type place " uh what's this ? She asked " I mean there's the rooms ?
The lady smiled " the 5 bedrooms are upstairs and here we have the kitchen area and living space ..
Bathrooms are ..
No no no no " gail stopped her "5 rooms ? There's 6 of us
The lady smiled " actually there's 10 in this quarter some are arriving a little later their transport has broken down ..
What? Gail fumed " 5 rooms so your telling me we have to share ?
Mmm hmmmm !
Gail closed her eyes " Steve is gonna love this " she thought
Let's have some wine " one guy suggested "get to know one another a little..
Great " just great " Gail fumed under her breath
Gail sat as far away from everyone else as possibly .. one of the other members of the group poured her a glass of wine " cheer up it's not that bad " he laughed
Thats a matter of opinion " gail snarled back sipping the wine
"The sharp taste hit her taste buds hard " ewwww " she cringed as she swallowed it " gross " she whispered
Holly on the other side of the room noticed Gail's disgust and found herself chuckling under her breath
" ok so I'll start " my name is Hubert craven .. I'm a professor of criminology have been for over 20 years now .. I live in Vancouver but I'm originally from Ontario ... I think this weekends is a great idea and I for one can't wait to get stuck in
Gail shook her head " this little man was so annoying " she thought "
Gail zoned out as each and everyone Introduced themselves until it was Holly's turn .
Uh ok so I'm Holly" Holly Stewart I'm a forensic pathologist from Vancouver ..
" Holly also has a PHD " Hurb pipped up " and is my most talented pathologist might I add ..
Holly blushed "thanks hurb..
All of a sudden the room was silent bringing Gail out of her Holly trances
Noticing everyone's eye on her she sat up straight " oh me ? Uh ok
" I'm Gail Peck I'm a cop "she shrugged " I'm from Toronto ..
Everyone nodded once they were all done they began to talk amongst them self .. Holly watched Gail as she poured her wine into a plant pot
The guy pouring the wine from earlier headed towards Gail
Refill?
Oh uh no tha... Before she had chance to finish he filled her glass up
Gail Peck a cop from Toronto huh? He asked "
Yup " gail sighed bored already
The guy nodded " so your what? Early 20s ? That must mean that your Either married to a Steven Peck orrrr "
Ewww gross " Gail spat
" or he's your brother " ?the man added with a laugh
Brother " Gail answered " how do you know him ?
Rookie school " the man answered" nice guy .
Gail frowned " we all have our own opinions I guess
The guy laughed "tell him I said hi " he said as he headed off to fill glasses .
Gail quickly getting rid of her wine the Same way as before ..
Here " she heard from the side of her as a bottle of beer was inches from her face
Gail came face to face with those beautiful brown eyes from earlier
"I figured you don't like the wine "
Gail took the beer placing the wine glass down " it's ok
Holly frowned "really? I'm not sure that poor plant would agree
Gail laughed under her breath " busted!
Mmmmm" Holly hummed swigging her beer
"I'm holly " the doc said holding her beer out
"Gail " she replied clinging her bottle against Holly's
Holly nodded " you've met my friend Hurb right ? She laughed
Gail scratched her head " oh god .. He's sooooo annoying "
Funny that " Holly smiled " he said the same thing about you
"It's safe to say we're not gonna be friends when this is over .. Gail joked
Holly opened another beer " ah I don't know .. He's a grower
Gail raised her eyebrows " if you say so "
Just being around this women for all of 5 minutes Gail realised she wasn't boring at all ..
So thoughts on this room sharing thing ? Gail asked watching Hurb fuss around everyone
"Not ideal but " Holly shrugged
You sharing with hurb ? Gail asked with a devilish laugh
" what ? Fuck no " Holly laughed nudging the laughing blonde ..
you can "
"I don't think so
"Well Gail Peck I don't know about you but I don't fancy sharing with any of them " Holly pointed to the group in front of them
Gail draw on her beer bottle hard before swallowing " nah " she tutted
Do you snore ? Holly asked not once looking at the blonde
No? Gail frowned
Good... Holly nodded
"Good ? Why ? Why would that be a concern of yours ? Gail asked realising that she may just be flirting
Like I said .. I don't fancy sharing with any of them " Holly repeated
"So looks like that leaves you ..
"And if I don't want to share with you ? Gail asked eyeing up the behind of the Doctor as she leans against the kitchen island Gail was sat on
Well it's either me or Hurb?
Gail sucked her lip into her mouth so she didn't smile .. "Fine "she huffed slipping off the unit " but no nerd talk " I know what you doctors are like ..
Holly smiled shaking her head as she watched Gail head upstairs ..
This is going to be interesting she said to herself ...
