~Chapter 2~

July 18, 2008

It was a normal day at SRU. Greg just arrived for work. He saw a friend of his at the responder's desk.

Greg: Hey Sally.

Sally: Hi Greg. New shirt?

Unfortunatly he got a pink shirt to wear today.

Greg: Yeah. The high risks of internet shopping.

He the notices her eating a chocolate cupcake.

Greg: Where did you get a cupcake?

Sally: Oh. Lou's sister baked all you guys cupcakes.

Greg: Really?

Sally: Yeah. The commander even got one.

Me: Really. Any left for me?

Sally: In the breifing room. She wanted to give yours to yo personally.

Greg was surprised at this.

Greg: How good are they?

Sally took another bite.

Sally: They are to die for.

So then he went to the briefing room and saw Lily holding a box of cupcakes. He noticed that she was in a blue sundress and her hair was down in curls. He thought that she looked beautiful but he could never say it out loud.

Greg: Hi Lily.

Lily: Hi Sergent Parker.

Greg: Please call me Greg. I heard you made cupcakes.

Lily: I did. I own a bakery as a side job when hockey season is over. Here is yours.

She gave one chocolate one to him.

Lily: I heard from my brother that chocolate is your favorite.

Greg: You heard right then.

Then he took a bite and he now understood what Sally meant.

Lily: How is it?

Greg: Amazing. You are like a godness with an oven.

She giggled a little.

Lily: I try.

Then Jules walked in and knocked on the wall.

Jules: Hey Sarge we're getting ready to test out the rookie in five.

Greg: I'm on it.

Jules: See you there.

Then she left.

Lily: Well I might as well go.

Greg: Wait a minute. Are you busy at the moment?

Lily: Not today why?

Greg: How would you like to see our new rookie in the stooting range?

Lily: Really? That would be awesome.

Greg: Just let me change alright.

Lily nodded and he left to go to the locker room. After he finished he saw Lou walk in.

Lou: So boss how do you like my sister's cupcakes?

Greg: Amazing.

Lou: Definitely.

It got silent for a moment.

Lou: Hey boss what do you think of my sister period?

That took him by surprise.

Greg: Why? Something wrong?

Lou: No its just that she asked about you. Well she asked about everyone but when she asked about you she made this face like she was shy or scared.

Greg: I didn't mean to make her like that.

Lou: Its not your fault. I was just asking. What do you think of her?

Greg: Well I don't know her very well but I can say she is a beautiful, strong and independant woman. She learned a lot from you.

He smiled at him as he changed.

Lou: I do what I can to protect my baby sister.

Greg: I understand that. Oh Sam is about to be tested hurry up.

He left out and found Lily talking with Sally. He didn't stop insted he grabbed her hand and took her to the room.

Greg: Did we miss it.

Jules: Just in time.

Sam was shooting targets left and right as the rest of the team showed up. Only Eddie noticed that Greg and Lily were still holding hands. Jules turned off the lights to make Sam fustrated but he made it out with no misses.

After Sam came out Lily gave him a cupcake as a reward.

Sam: Oh god. You guys tried these already?

Ed: Yeah they were fantastic.

Spike: Oh yeah. You have to give me the recipe Lil.

Lily: Sorry no can do. Its my special recipe.

Jules: Forget it Spike. Once a woman says no she means no.

Lily: Well I'm sure you guys are very busy I better go.

Sam: Alright don't be a stranger alright?

Lou: See you later sis.

Jules: See you soon.

Ed: Later squirt.

Lily: Bye Greg.

Then she left out the door.

Greg: Bye.

Then everyone went to the weapons room to practice. That is until Team 1 got a hot call from Saint Pat's Hospital. The situation was that the subject's daughter needed a new heart to live and she was going to get one but someone knocked her off her spot to be the next recipiant to recive a heart. The man was in a rut. His wife died in a car accident so his daughter is all he has left. Greg tried to nogochiate with him but nothing worked until he made it personal.

Jack: You got kids?

Greg: I do. A son.

Jack: What's his name?

Greg: Dean.

Not a lot of people knew he had a son so some thought he was lying. While the team was stalling Jack for time Greg and him were watchong NASCAR on tv. Greg even told him a story about him and his son going to see a NASCAR race and got a signed glove as a sovener for his son. It made Jack calm down for a while until he let it slip that Greg hasn't seen his son in 9 years. Which made Jack go wild again and storm an operation room to make them give the heart to his daughter. Greg convinced him later on to leave to be with his daughter. But she wasn't there which gave Team one the perfect opertunity to secure the subject.

After which shift was over after 6. Greg visited the daughter who got to have the heart after all and see Jack at the station. After a while he went out for dinner and noticed that Lily was there too at the diner he decided to eat from.

Greg: Lily.

She turned to him.

Lily: Oh hello Greg. How are you?

Greg: Good.

Lily: Great. Would you like to join me?

Greg: Sure if you don't mind.

Lily: I don't.

So then they sat down and ate together.
