Elsa spent a few minutes walking around the precinct looking for her office. Everywhere around her people were running trying to make a phone call or get their jobs done efficiently. She eventually found the office without the help of any of her new colleagues. On the door was a metal panel with 'Detective Jack Frost' inscribed on it. Below it, was a blank space which had obviously been replaced multiple times due to the scratch marks around the frame.
She walked inside bringing with her a box with the few personal belongings she owned and set it down on her desk before shutting the door behind her.
"What a great start." She sighed, running her hands through her hair.
The office was relatively big, easily fitting both her desk and Frost's desk. There was a window looking over the street letting a stream of sunlight brighten up the room.
Out of curiosity to see what kind of person her partner was Elsa walked over to his half of the room. Behind his chair, on the wall there was a target with most bullet marks hitting bulls-eye. Looking under his desk, she found that there was hidden mini fridge. She bent down to open it and found that there was enough food to feed an entire continent and more. The cupboards were filled to the brim with case files and papers sliding out onto the floor. On the cupboard doors there were posters of every TV series imaginable, along with many collectors items scattered all over the place.
Everything was a mess.
She looked over at her desk from his desk's point of view. It looked so empty and dull and so out of place compared to her partners side.
'This place will feel like home eventually.'
She strolled over to the window and picked up one of her colleagues collector cars off the ledge. It was an old model of a formula one race car. She ran her hands over the wheels and watched them spin, and the outer corner of her mouth twisted upwards to form a small smile.
'Maybe being with someone not so serious wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.'
After her brief moment of amusement Elsa quickly caught up with herself and put the car back in the exact position she found it and moved back over to her side of the office to unpack. She pulled out two photos, one of her parents and Anna and one of and his family, and laid them down on her desk. She kept moving the angles of the photos so that she could see her sister better. She felt embarrassed at how blank her side was in comparison to Detective Frost's. All she had were these two frames, some books and a plant making her side seem dull and lonely, not that she minded. The way her office was wouldn't affect the way she worked. She knew that she couldn't let herself get distracted by such childish things.
'He's going to think that I don't want to stay here.'
She checked her watch for the time. Not noticing the time go by so soon Elsa grabbed her jacket and fled out the office to meet her partner outside the station. She could finish unpacking later.
Jack could see Elsa inside their office from his sitting room window. She wasn't like the other partners he had had previously. Every time he had a new partner joining he would pull the same stunt. It wasn't hard, all you needed was the registration of their car. But of all the times he had tried this, she was the only one who bothered stopping him. She was the only one who willing to sacrifice an important meeting to do what was right and there was no denying that he was amazed to how self-assured and confident in what she was doing when she caught him 'red-handed'.
He he had tried to learn everything about her before he met her, however he found it hard to find much on her no matter where he decided to look. It almost felt as though she was trying to cover something up.
He needed to be able to trust her, but there was too much uncertainty around her.
He chuckled as he watched her across the way picking up his formula one collector car.
'I'll figure you out don't worry.'
He put on his best leather jacket and made his way out the front door making sure he brought his keys so that the situation that morning was not repeated. 'Just on time.' He saw Elsa leaving the building across the road. He gave her a smile and a small hand signal and she started making her way towards him.
"Oh Jack, you look nice for once."
Jack swiftly turned around to see a young teenage girl with bright colored hair skipping towards him.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" He smiled, going to give her a hug.
"I'm hurrying up. I left my history essay at home and it's due today." Jack was about to go meet Elsa when he was interrupted by the teen again.
"Who's that? Haven't seen her around the station." The girl asked nudging her head in Elsa's direction.
Jack smiled and waited for Elsa to reach them before starting the introductions. "Tooth this, is Detective Elsa Snow my new partner." He made sure Elsa wasn't looking before winking in the other girl's direction. "Detective, my sister, Tooth." He turned to watch the interaction between the two women.
"Nice to meet you Tooth." Elsa said before sticking her hand out for a handshake.
"Same." Tooth answered, trying to stare Elsa down even though she was just up to Elsa's shoulder. "Actually, I hope the same thing that happened to the other female co-workers doesn't happen to you." She followed up with an eyebrow raise.
Elsa looked towards Jack not understanding what his younger sister was talking about only to see him blushing and rubbing the back of his neck. This conversation was not going in the direction he wanted.
The two women that his dear sister was referring to were Emma and Violet, who he had previously dated. Every time he got into a relationship with anyone, his sister would always end up messing it up in one way or another. In the end it finished with two messy breakups both of them transferring to whole new precincts.
"Hey Tooth, don't you have somewhere you need to be." Jack said attempting to change the subject. Without letting his new partner see mouthed 'I hate you' to his sister hoping that she would get the message.
Tooth shrugged her shoulders and smirked towards him. "Ye, I do. But I would rather spend my time telling Elsa about all your encounters with your colleagues. After all, maybe she will take it as a bit of a warning not have sex with you, unless she wants any diseases."
Elsa's jaw dropped and her eyes shot wide open at what Tooth had just suggested and Jack covered his face with his hands in shame.
Okay, maybe he forgot to mention the few other flings he had had in the office but he was hardly a player. 'How does she even know about those.' He thought had always tried to separate his sister from the women he slept with mainly because he knew his sister would be uncomfortable, but clearly he wasn't as discreet as he thought.
"She's lying, I'm not that bad." Jack said forcing a fake laugh. There was an awkward silence in which none of the three of them said anything. Tooth looked over the moon with herself as her smirk grew.
"You can leave now Tooth, you've done a great job embarrassing me. Go to school, we'll talk later." Tooth realized that her brother was done messing around and that it was time for her to leave. Jack had never gotten annoyed at her before, he was always laughing and playing pranks on people and she planned for it to stay that way. She readjusted her schoolbag and smiled nodding her head towards Elsa.
"It was nice to get to meet you Detective Snow. See you around."
"You too Tooth."
Tooth walked past the two of them and made her way towards the door.
"Alright then, lets go." Jack said to a confused Elsa as he started walking towards his car.
"Go where?"
"Into the suburbs. I just got off the phone with Eddie Aster. A body has been found inside a furniture shop and we've been asked to go check it out."
"Oh okay, text me the address." Jack watched as Elsa tried moved past him towards what he assumed was her car, but he stepped in front of her blocking her passage.
"Where do you think you're going." He asked her with a charming smile.
"To my car." Elsa tried to get to her car again only for Jack to get in the way again.
"It's tradition, you get driven to the crime scene on your first day at the precinct." Elsa crossed her arms clearly not believing him. "It's free." He added.
"Fine." She said in defeat taking a step back to follow Jack to his car. He turned and walked away from her indicating for her to come with him, Elsa followed after him rolling her eyes behind his back clearly annoyed at how this day was going. By the time they had reached the car Jack had opened the door for her to get in.
"It's a Peugot 506 V6." Jack tapped the bonnet showing off his most prized possessions.
"Fascinating." She said sarcastically giving him a look that clearly showed that she had no interest in what he was saying. Elsa got into the car leaving Jack standing outside.
'She's going to be a fun one.' He laughed walking around the bonnet and getting in. After starting the engine and pulling out of the parking spot the two of them sat in silence. She never once looked in his direction, seemed to not want to stop staring ahead at her hands and her body language appeared to be very uncomfortable.
It had been about two minutes before either of them started talking.
"About what happened this morning, I'm not mad at you." Jack said trying to start a conversation.
Clearly it wasn't the right thing to say because as soon as he finished his sentence her head shot up in his direction and glowered at him.
"That's nice of you." She said sharply. "I'm the one who gets humiliated in front of all her colleagues on her first day of work for doing something I thought was right and you're sorry." Elsa rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Unbelievable."
Jack felt slightly amused at her reaction. She went from zero to a hundred much quicker than he thought. She looked so calm and collected, the last thing he was expecting was her losing her cool. He would definitely be using this in his favor.
"I do it all the time to the newbies. It's how I figure out if I can trust them." He quickly added. "If it makes you feel better, you passed." He winked at her.
Elsa opened her mouth and then closed it again and looked as though she was holding back from saying anything. He could feel how irritated she was from where he sat.
"Don't hold back Elsa." Jack said trying to get a rise out of her.
"It's Detective Snow for you." She shot back.
Jack laughed finding her abrupt sense of humor funny. "You're kidding."
After he received no answer he glanced over in her direction and saw Elsa giving him a deadpan glare. She was not messing around. "Oh, you're being serious."
There was a long silence that was filled by the sound of the car's engine and Jack humming awkwardly. Suddenly his eyes lit up and a smirk marred his features.
"You know, this is like every beginning to every romantic relationship in every TV show ever made."
"I don't want to know what you mean." She answered turning her head away from him to look out of the window.
"Lucky you, you get to find out anyways. I'll set the scene." He cleared his throat again before continuing. "Two new partners who can't stand each other are forced to work together, however, their mutual loathing turns to deadly attraction and by the end of the season they sleep together."
"You've got to be kidding me."
Jack winked at her again, "trust me, Detective Frost. By the end of this week I'll be calling Elsa."
