Hey Everyone, This is my take on the Charlie and Joey storyline if Joey was to ever return to Summer Bay, The base of the story is basically Joey returns to Summer Bay for the upcoming trail of Robert 'Robbo' Cruze but she doesn't return alone with her is Brooke...But who is Brooke and What is her relationship with Joey...Hope you all enjoy...
Brooke's description :
Height: 5ft 7/8 inches
Weight: 10 stone 2 pounds
Body type: Athletic
Hair: Brunette-Light/Medium Brown
Eyes: Brown
Some extra things that might help, Brooke is very toned her body has been worked into perfection-in the gym- she has a six pack and her arms when exposed show of every curve of her muscles, but she is not so toned that she looks like a man, she mainly wears t-shirts vests and jeans, but I will try to describe tha outfits in every scene. Also she is very Similar to Joey in looks and other ways
Chapter one
It was 6 O'clock in the morning and just as she had been doing the whole night Joey Collins was staring out of her hotel room window, she was unable to close her eyes without thinking of what Robbo had done to her nearly 24 months ago and yet to her it felt like a couple weeks rather than a year and a bit, she felt shivers go down her spine every time she thought of that night on the boat, she could still smell a combination of body odor, dead fish and cheap aftershave , it made her wanna throw up. Just as the hours before had done the hours flew by. The next thing Joey knew she could hear a familiar voice calling her it was a distinctive female voice with a English accent, the woman continued calling her.
"Jo, come on, we better leave now or you're gonna be late" The woman said approaching Joey, she was wearing loose black denim jeans and a tank top with the slogan-So nice you have... On the front, the tank top showed of her toned and partially tattooed arms.
"Huh, Oh yeah sorry, I'm coming"
"What time do you have to be at the cop shop then?"
"Not for an hour yet, and it's a police station, Brooke"
"Ahh, Cop shop, Police station there all the same thing in England, anyway why do you have to check in with them" Brooke asked confusion on her face
"It's because I haven't been around for a long time and they already postponed the trial twice, so I guess it's to make sure I'm in court"
"Cool, I guess that makes sense, Kinda"
After a couple minutes they both got their jackets on and exited the hotel room, they walked to the hotel car park, where they got into a shiny red Chevrolet Camero 2010 edition sports car, limbed into the driver's seat and Joey got into the passenger's seat, Brooke started the engine and drove towards the exit of the car park, before they got to the exit a woman came running at the car, Brooke slammed hard on the brakes avoiding hitting the woman, Brooke and Joey looked at each other in disbelief that someone would run at the car, the woman stood in front of the car looking at Brooke seemingly fixated on her. Brooke looked to Joey and said
"Give me a minute, Jo"
Brooke got out of the car and walked up to the women after a couple minutes the woman passed her a pen and pad, which Brooke took and wrote something down on a piece of paper the woman said something to Brooke and hugged her she then took the paper and walked away, Brooke got back into the car, restarted the engine and drove out of the car park not saying anything, Joey looked at Brooke a little confused as to what had just happened around twenty minutes later, just as they were entering the bay, she approached the subject
"So...What was that about?" She asked
"What was what about?"
"You know the woman jumping in front of the car"
"Oh that, Nothing just someone who knows me"
"Someone who knows you, if she knew you then why did she throw herself at the car"
"I don't know, maybe she never got my number?"
"So she tracked you down to the hotel waited for you, then jumped in front of a car, all for your number?"
"Maybe" Brooke glanced quickly at Joey who looked astonished "What can I say women dig me?"
"They dig you, that's not digging you, that's stalker territory, Brooke"
"What are you complaining for; my talents so to speak got you a new girlfriend"
"Yeah well I already thanked you for that"
"I know you did and like I said it's no problem, at least know I don't have to put up with you taking your sexual frustration out on me do I" Brooke laughed looking at Joeys reaction quickly
"That's not funny Brooke" Joey replied hitting Brooke
"Ouch, you do know where were going don't you, I can get you done for common assault you know"
As Brooke said that they turned the corner and in front of them was the police station, Brooke pulled over parking the car in an open space then turned off the engine taking the keys out the ignition. Joey took a deep breath then turned to Brooke,
"I know I said I didn't need you to, but can you come inside with me please?"
"Did you really think I was gonna stay out here, the way I look I'd be in a cell within minutes"
Brooke laughed and got out the car as did Joey locking the car behind them; they walked into the police station, and walked up to the front desk where there was a policeman there already so they didn't have to wait
"Hi, I'm here to sign some papers for my court case" Joey said somewhat inquiring
"Okay, can I have your name please?" The policeman asked
"Joey Collins"
"Okay, give me a minute I'll just get the papers for you"
"Thanks" Joey said politely, she watched the policeman enter the office she knew was Charlie's, she then turned around and noticed that Brooke was staring at something when she looked in the same direction she saw a policewoman leaning on the table in the corner of the station looking at a piece of paper then signing it, her bum in the air somewhat, she turned to Brooke and nudged her
"What?" Brooke asked not knowing what she had done wrong
"Stop eyeing people up will you; we're in a police station not a night club"
"I know we're in a police station if we were in a nightclub I would have got laid by now"
They both turned around when they saw the policewoman turn around, at the same time the policeman emerged from the office he was intercepted by the policewoman who was leaning on the desk
"It's okay Chris, I've got this you go for your break" She stated not really giving her an option
"Sure Georgia, Miss Collins is at the desk waiting" Chris exited the station after finishing his sentence.
"Georgia as in Georgia Watson, Charlie's partner" Joey thought to herself
The policewoman walked to the desk and as Joey had thought it was indeed Officer Georgia Watson, Joey felt a sudden panic come over her if Watson was here then does that mean Charlie was too...
"Hey Joey, Sign here, here and here please" Georgia said pointing to the lines that Joey needed to sign
"Hi" Joey politely replies, she then signed the places Georgia had asked to "Is that all I need to do or is there anything else?"
"No, but if there is any change of information then let us know but apart from that yeah that's it thanks for coming in" Georgia said placing the papers back in the file
"It was no problem, bye" Joey said walking away, when they got to the exit Brooke put her hand on Joeys shoulder and slightly pulled her back
"Just give me a minute, I need to find something out from the police woman" Brooke said
"What do you need to find out then?" Joey quizzed
"Just wanna ask her something that's all, something private Jo?"
"Sure, don't be long though"
"Cool, I'll be five minutes" Brooke walked back to the front desk, where Watson was still standing looking at paperwork, Brooke waited a couple seconds then coughed purposely to get Watsons attention, which she was successful in doing.
"Hi, how can I help you?" Watson politely asked
"Umm, I'm not sure whether or not you can; it's about your boss, Charlie?"
"My Sergeant, What about her do you wanna know?"
"Is she single?" Brooke paused realizing that Watson may have misinterpreted her question "It's not for me it's for... Someone else" pausing and stopping herself saying Joeys name
"Professionally I can't say anything"
"And personally?"
"Well, as a friend of Charlie's and considering who was just with you, yeah she is single"
"Thanks, I really appreciate it" Brooke went to walk out but hesitated when she reached the door and walked back to the desk "I was just wondering, what about you?
"What about me?"
"Are you Single? Or do you have a boyfriend? Or girlfriend?"
"No I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend and I am Single, does the someone else want to know that to?"
"So does that mean your bisexual or...?"
"I'm bisexual, and you didn't answer my question?
"Well, that's for me to know and you never know, maybe you'll find out" Brooke went to walk out but stopped "Maybe I'll see you around..." She re-approached the desk and slide towards Watson, and slightly touched Georgia's name badge, while taking advantage of her unbuttoned shirt sneaking a quick look at her cleavage then slide the small distance back to the floor and completed her sentence "Georgia" Then walked out of the police station.
When Brooke got back to the car, she saw by the look on Joeys face that, she wasn't impressed with her. Unlocking the car and getting into the driver's seat she began explaining to Joey.
"I'm sorry okay, I just needed some info"
"Info, you mean like her number?" Joey replied knowing exactly what Brooke was like when it came to any woman, let alone one in a uniform "I can't believe that your actually gonna date a policewoman after everything with your parents"
Brooke looked at Joey with a look of amusement on her face. "I'm sorry what was that?"
"I can't believe you're gonna date a cop"
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black"
"What is that meant to mean?"
"Ummm, let me think what did you last Girlfriend do for a living, and I use the word Girlfriend loosely"
"So...Charlie was a cop that's not a bad thing"
"Exactly, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if I did go out with Georgia would it"
"I suppose, but things with Charlie didn't work out remember"
"Yeah but the thing about Georgia is she's not pretending to be Gay or Bi, whatever Charlie's flavor for the week was"
"It wasn't like that B, You know it wasn't"
"Yeah I do, it was the reason you ended up in England with me after all"
"And how I met Frankee of course"
"Of course" Brooke looked away from Joey raising her eyebrows at the thought of Joey and Frankee together; she started the ignition and drove away from the police station "So where does her royal highness wish to go?"
"I don't mind, we could go to the pier diner, I need something to eat"
"Sure, but you know who might be there right?"
"Yeah, but I imagine that her being a cop she is doing her job and not drinking coffee in the diner" Joey stated with an unexpected glint in her eye
"Wow wow wow, what was that?" Brooke seeing the glint appear in Joey's eye
"What was what?"
"That glint in your eye"
"I don't know what you're talking about Brooke" Joey replied trying to pretend that it hadn't happened
"Yeah you do Jo, you were thinking about her weren't you?"
"No, I wasn't I was thinking about Frankee"
"Sure whatever you say"
Both of them remained quiet Brooke went to speak on numerous occasions but instead remained silent as the conversation had ended Joey had instantly remained quiet for the journey, until however Brooke pulled over in the side lane, turning the engine off and removing the key from the ignition she turned to Joey. Joey realized what Brooke had done and turned to face her too,
"Why did you stop the car?"
"I don't know if you've noticed but I have a very strong East London accent?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, that indicates that I'm from England therefore I have no idea where these roads lead so unless you want to get lost, please drop the silent treatment and show me the way"
"I'm not giving you silent treatment Brooke, I swear I'm not" Joey replied with a slightly shocked look on her face
"Okay, now can you please tell me what way to drive?" Brooke asked placing the key back in the ignition and restarting the engine
"Sure, Follow this road, then I'll tell you from there"
Within 10 minutes they had reached the pier diner, Brooke found a space and parked turning the engine off then removing the key, then both women climbed out of the car, as they were walking away from the car Brooke locked it, As they walked towards the diner noticing a police car approaching the diner Brooke revisited the early conversation her and Joey had,
"Why did you think I was referring to Charlie?"
"Sorry, what are we talking about here?"
"Earlier when I said that you were thinking about her, you said you weren't thinking about her but Frankee"
"Did I?"
"You know you did Jo"
"So what if I did it doesn't mean anything"
"Really you think so" Brooke pause for a second "Maybe your right but for a second I thought you were gonna finally end things with Frankee"
"I thought that you were happy for us?"
"I was, but you and Frankee it's not meant to be, the way you act around her you're not you, the way you let her speak to you sometimes"
"She doesn't mean it, she just can't control it"
"Come on Jo, how many times when I've lost control have you told me it's not an excuse?"
"I know but it's different"
"How is it different?"
"Well, you're not Frankee?"
"Yeah and she's not Charlie is she?"
"I know but that's a good thing at least she won't cheat on me with a man"
Brooke took a deep breathe, looked over at Joey who was getting visibly upset at the memories of Charlie's infidelity and decided to drop the subject "True, that's enough talking off me, I'm starving"
"Snap"
They both walked into the diner, unknown to Joey the police patrol car was heading towards the diner too, meanwhile inside Joey and Brooke approached the counter.
"What do you want?" Joey turned asking Brooke
"I'll just have an Orange juice"
"Okay, no problems" Joey waited a couple minutes then colleen arrived back at the counter to take her order
"Oh, Hello Joey, how are you?"
"Hi Mrs. Smart, I'm fine thanks yourself?"
"I'm fine thanks pet, what can I get you?"
"Two Orange Juices and a burger please"
"No problem, take a seat I'll bring it over"
"Thank you"
Brooke and Joey sat down in the corner of the diner so they could talk in private without Colleen being the natural born earwig that she is. They waited for their order to be brought over, with Joey giving Brooke a look of confusion and disbelief a look which didn't go unseen by Brooke, Colleen placed their order on their table and walked away when she saw a customer approaching the counter. Joey continued looking at Brooke with the same look on her face. Brooke waited until Joey had eaten then decided to question her on the look;
"What?" She asked simply
"Huh, what?" Joey replied slightly confused
"The look you keep giving me, Jo?"
"What look?"
"The look you gave me in the car, the same look you've been giving me since the police station"
"I don't know what you mean Brooke"
"Sure you don't" Brooke turned her head noticing an young Blonde woman walk into the diner she openly eyed up the woman, she turned towards Joey again and found the woman was returning the favor so to speak, the woman approached Brooke and Joey's table,
"Hi, I'm Terri" The young Blonde informed Brooke
"Umm, Hi I'm..." Before she could formally introduce herself she was cut off by Terri
"I know who you are; I'm a big fan of yours"
"Really, how big a fan?" Brooke asked a smile bursting onto her face
"Massive, maybe I could show you how massive a fan outside"
"Outside, Ummm..." Brooke paused looking at Joey "Do you mind if I just you know?"
"Go for it" Joey replied giving Brooke "Have fun?" She continued giving Brooke the look she had come accustom to giving her whenever they were anywhere near women, which was most of the time, as she watched Brooke leave with Terri literally pulling her, she couldn't help but smile and let a little laugh as Brooke looked back at her and winked.
As Brooke and Terri walked out of the diner, Terri pulled Brooke into a kiss but as she pulled back, Brooke noticed the police car parking and saw two officers, one male officer and one female officer, Climb out of the car and head towards the diner, as the officers got closer she noticed that the female officers badge read Sergeant Charlie Buckton, before she could remember why and how she knew that name. Terri had grabbed her and pulled her so they were standing under the pier. Before Brooke had a chance to register who the policewoman was Terri was kissing her, going on instinct she kissed her back moving her hands down towards Terri's waist...
Meanwhile in the diner, Joey was sitting waiting for Brooke to return so they could leave and get back to the hotel, She had just finished her burger when Colleen approached her,
"Would you like another drink, pet?" The older woman asked politely
"Yes, please Mrs. Smart" Colleen took Joeys glass with her and a couple seconds later she returned with Joeys glass of juice
"Thank you" Joey said as Colleen walked back to the counter to serve the next customer
Joey quickly glanced at the counter noticing that the next customer was a policewoman, she looked down at a piece of paper that she had retrieved from her pocket, when she looked up again it hit her that the policewoman that was standing at the counter wasn't just any policewoman...It was Charlie.
