Chapter 1:
Loren's Pov
I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand. I groan as I look to see that my boss Jake was calling me. Why would Jake be calling me at 7:00 am in the morning on a Saturday? I decide to ignore it and go back to sleep. Rinnnnnnnggg Rinnnnnnnggggg! I turn over to see Jake calling me for a second time.
Loren (annoyed): What do you want Jake?
Jake: Well good morning to you sunshine.
Loren: It would be if you would leave me alone so I can sleep.
Jake: no can do kiddo. I need you down at the station pronto.
Loren: Why do you need me at the station at 7:05 in the freaking morning on a Saturday?
Jake: it's a surprise.
Loren: I hate surprises.
Jake: well you will like this one. Now get dressed and meet me at the station in a half hour.
Loren: got it boss
End call.
After I get off the phone with Jake I get out of bed and get in the shower. Once I get out I put on my black leather pants, a tight fitting gray shirt and my blazer. I walk over to my safe and punch in the code to grab my badge and gun. I put my gun in my holster and walk out the door. I jump into my black Porsche and head down to the station. On the way there I decided to stop by the Aroma Café to grab breakfast. Once I get there I walk in and I immediately fall on the floor.
Man: oh my god I am so sorry are you okay?
Loren: I don't know it's not every day where I get hit in the face with the door.
Man: here let me help you.
The man holds out his hand and I grab it. I immediately feel this weird tingly feeling in my hand and by the look on his face I can tell he felt it too.
Man: I'm Eddie Duran and you are?
Loren: going to be late for work if you don't get out of my way.
Eddie: well someone's a little feisty this morning.
Loren: yeah tell that to the giant bruise that's on my forehead.
Eddie: yeah sorry again about that. Here let me pay for you.
Loren: its fine you don't have to…
Eddie: no I insist what would like?
Loren: I'm going to be late
Eddie: the only way you'll be late is if you don't let me pay for your food.
Loren: fine. Get me a coffee and a bagel.
Eddie: coming right up miss…
Loren: Tate. Loren Tate.
Eddie: well Miss Tate here is your bagel and coffee.
Loren: thank you, but I really got to go before-
Eddie: I know before you are late.
Loren: exactly. Nice meeting you Eddie.
Eddie: see you around Loren.
Loren: I doubt it.
Once I leave Aroma I drive as fast as I can to the Station. I get to the Station and run in hoping not to be late. As I run inside I see my best friend Melissa laughing at me. I glare at her and she laughs even harder.
Mel: hey girl what's up? What happened to your forehead?
Loren: oh some guy wasn't paying attention and hit me in the face with the door at the café.
Mel: was he cute?
Loren: is that seriously all you care about? You know a "Hey Lo are you okay?" what be nice.
Mel (dramatically): Oh Loren my dear however are you feeling? Do you need to see a doctor about this life threatening injury of yours?
Loren: haha very funny. Sometimes I don't even know why Jake pairs us two together because we are total opposites.
Mel: because we are like good cop bad cop.
Loren: oh really which one am I?
Mel: oh definitely bad cop.
Loren: What? I am totally good cop in this situation.
Mel: Loren, I've been your partner for 2 years now and your best friend for 15. Do you honestly think I'm lying?
Loren: okay I may have qualities of the bad cop but I'm more good cop.
Mel: Lo, you almost tackled a guy because you guys disagreed whether the tomato is a fruit or vegetable.
Loren: no matter what that guy said the tomato is a fruit and always will be a fruit.
Jake: Excuse me everyone can I have your attention please? I am here to announce that we have a new detective with us. He was transferred here from New York and one of the best in the country besides of course our very own Detective Tate. (Pointing to Loren) I would like you all make him feel welcome because he is here to stay. Please put your hands together for Detective Eddie Duran.
I almost chocked on my coffee when he said that. As soon as Jake announced his name he walked in through the glass doors of the room.
Eddie: hi everyone my name is Eddie Duran. I have been a part of the NYPD (New York Police Department) for 5 years and when I got the call to join the Las Angeles Police department (LAPD) I knew I couldn't resist. I'm very excited to meet all of you and hopefully get the honor with working with some of you (smirking at Loren).
Was he just smiling at me? I don't think he understands how I roll around here. I already have a partner and that is Melissa Sanders. If he thinks he can just walk up in here like he owns the place he has another thing coming.
Jake: alright everyone back to work we have a busy day today, except for Loren, Melissa, and Ian.
Melissa and I look at each other with questioning looks as we follow Jake to his office along with Ian who was another really good detective but very inexperienced.
Jake: Okay guys I called you in here because I'm switching up your teams.
Loren: What?! But Melissa and I are one of the best teams here and we work really well together?
Mel: Sir with all due respect, I agree with Lo. We've been partners for years and now you all of a sudden decide to break us up?
Jake: I know. I understand but things are different now.
Loren: what's changed?
Jake: well for starters we have a new cop with us.
Loren: so what does that have to do with anything?
Jake: Loren I get that your upset but just listen to me for a sec okay?
I nodded.
Jake: good. Now Detective Sanders, you will be paired with Detective Smith.
Ian (smirking at Mel): I've got no complaints.
That earned a rolling of the eyes from Mel.
Loren: and me?
Jake: you will paired with detective Duran.
Eddie: I can always transfer to a different team if that doesn't work for you Loren.
Loren: no it's fine I can handle you (glaring)
Jake: wait do you two know each other?
Loren: as a matter of fact we do. He's the one who did this to my forehead. (Pointing to my head)
Eddie: for the thousandth time I said I was sorry. I honestly wasn't paying attention when I hit you with the door.
Loren: one thousand and one times wouldn't hurt.
Jake: never mind I don't want to know. You guys are officially a team.
Loren: great
Eddie: you sure complain a lot don't you?
Loren: you sure ask a lot of questions don't you?
Eddie: only for you darling (winking at her).
Loren: okay if we are done here I have a lot of paper work to do.
Jake: yes you are all dismissed.
As I walked out of the office I felt a warm breath on my right ear.
Eddie (whispering): I told you I would be seeing you again.
And with that he walks away. I have a feeling this is going to be interesting.
