so here's chapter2
*beep beep* "Miss where do ya wanna go?" "Here. It's on the paper." "Sure thing miss." Holly had no idea why se was nervous. But again all she could think about was Gail and what not to do to mess up their friendship. "Miss. We're here." "Okay thanks. Here keep the change." "Cheers miss." "No problem." As holly walked in she saw the bar in front of her with no Gail. She looked to her right as saw the coat room with no one in there, she thought this would be the best place to wait. "Here. Keep it nice." "Sure thing, here ya go." "Thanks." Holly then realized that she could make a couple bucks whilst she waited.
"Hey what are you doing there. Thought we were gonna meet at the bar?" "Hey. Well no one was here so I thought I'd wait here and hey I get to make a couple bucks." "Ugh fine. God your annoying sometimes." "Thanks blondie." Holly couldn't help but stare at Gail. Taken aback how well the dress fits on Gail. The way it shows her curves off. "C'mon. I wanna get a drink." "Okay."
Gail couldn't stop thinking. It was the only thing she could do all day and it was bugging her. "Here." "What?" "Your drink." "Oh right thanks." "We better go sit down." "Right yea. Wanna get a good seat." Again, Gail was brought into thought, about Holly and everything. The flirting, the way Holly looks at her, everything.
"Hey, look what I got." Holly made Gail jump, by sneaking up behind her, holding the only thing she was wanting all evening. "Holly! Jesus. I wouldn't take you for the sneaking round and stealing bottles of champagne type." "Haha c'mon." "Oh really the coat room?" "It's the only place we can drink this and get drunk without anyone knowing." "That's a point. Give me the bottle." "Here. I gots glasses." Gail was mesmerized about how Holly was sneaky enough to be able to get the bottle of wine without anyone noticing.
"Gimme." "Eager much." "Told you I wanted to get drunk." "Haha. Your funny." "I won't keep it up."
"So what it just ended like that?" "Pretty much, she was a bitch though." "Wow. Must have been." Gail and her wondrous mind spoke up after a couple of minutes scilence. "So what's it like?" "What's what like?" "well i mean the best part of a date is getting dressed. Is it like weird?" "well whats it like with a man?" "well the girl gets dressed first then the..." Gail trailed off her sentence knowing it was a stupid question. "stupid... stupid question" Gail spoke. "is it cool... to like share each others things? like do you do that?" Gail asked, her curious mind taking over again. "Well I wouldn't share your things." Holly spoke. "Why not?" "Just not my style." "What not enough fleece for you holly. Not enough backpacks?" Just as Gail finished what she was saying, Holly kissed her. Just a quick kiss, but enough to put Gail off guard. "You're insane, you know that?... So I'm gonna take this if ya don't mind." "Sorry... where are you going?" Gail asked as she was pulled out of thought. "Dancing, just need to get it out of my system. Thanks for tonight, Plus one forever" And with that Holly left a confused Gail, in a coat room with someone else's jacket round her shoulder and a almost empty glass of champagne.
*nock nock* "yo Gail wake up. They need you in today." "Fuck off, I'm sleeping." She really didn't want to wake up, especially on her day off. "Don't make me come in there and throw water on you." "Ugh fine I'm up." "Great. Do be ready in 10 and I'll drive you in." "Whatever... Hey Chris." "Yea?" "Thanks for everything." "Wow Gail saying thanks. You must be ill." It's true, Gail rarely ever said thanks. "Shut it doosh." "And she's back. Just be ready or I'm leaving without you." "Whatever." As she was getting ready, Gail noticed that she looked like she was living in the wild. Her hair was all over the place with her makeup smudged around her eyes.
"GAIL!" "Please don't kill me, not today." Today was not the best day for Gail, and getting killed was not on her list. "Haha no don't worry. I got a call from your councilor." "What's she doing calling you?" "She said you missed your last appointment and wanted to see you this morning." Gail really hated counseling, her mother got her to do it, so she wouldn't be so nasty around people. Yet 6 months later and she hasn't changed. "Steve I'm working. I can't go to her now." "I'll cover for you for the hour." "Okay thanks man. I owe you one." "Still owe me from the other time." "That was a year ago. Too late now." "Whatever looser." "Fuck you Steve."
*nock nock* "come in" "Hi. You phoned my brother wanting to see me." She really didn't want to be there, but she knew she had to. "Yes. I thought we could catch up this morning on everything." "Okay well make it quick I'm on shift." "Your not in uniform." "I leave it at the station sometimes." "Right okay. So anything new?" After about 10 minutes Gail decided to speak up, knowing she'd have to say something eventually. "Well last night a chick kissed me." "Okay. What'd you do about it?" "I guess I kissed her back, then she just left." "Right so do you know this woman?" nosey much. Gail thought. "She a friend. I've known her for just under a week. We meet on Tuesday. I asked her to be my plus one to a wedding." "I'm guessing you were both drunk?" "I was but I'm not too sure bout her." "Well since we started you're opening up more which is good." "Yea well don't expect too much of it." "Whatever you say Gail. What are your feeling about that kiss?" "I dunno. I mean she's gay. I'm straight. And she's my friend." "Okay let's put it this way. What do you want to come of that kiss?" "Look. I dunno. It happened last night. I guess you could say I'm still processing it." Gail had, had enough of this for one day. She just wanted to get out of there. "Okay let's leave it here for today. You did good." "Okay well thanks Alice. See you next week." As Gail left, the question replayed in her head constantly. what do you want to come of the kiss? She couldn't get it out of her head.
"Holly we got a house with what could be a basement of marihuana. We need you to please go take samples." "Sure thing. When do I leave?" "McNally, Peck and Mike are going. So just go with them." Holly was a bit worried about seeing Gail, since she kissed her. She knew she shouldn't ahve ran, but that's all she thought to do and she did. She ran. "Sue. When do they leave?" "I think in about an hour. They all have briefing now. Just come back ASAP because they want this sorted by Wednesday. And you know how long it takes to do samples." "Okay no problem. I'll try my best to get back ASAP" "Thanks Holly." "No problem."
All Holly could think about was gails reaction when she saw her, or how awkward it would be, when they were together. She was so worked up in her thoughts that she didn't hera her phone go off until the second buzz. *bzz bzz*
Gail: we on a case together. Awesome. Holly: yea. Guess briefing is over? Gail: yea I'll come down and get you. Holly: okay thanks Gail Gail: no problamo Holly: very funny ;) Gail: I know I am funny ;) Holly: haha I'm laughing lol. See you in a sec xo Gail: okay xo
By how the texting went between the both of them, Holly guess that Gail wasn't pissed at her. "Yo nerd, where are ya. C'mon we gots to go." "Hey Gail." "Oh there you are. C'mon let's go." "Sure thing." "You hungover?" "Haha not really. Mind I didn't really get drunk. That was mostly you." "Oh haha. Well I woke a little hungover. Not the best way to start the day. But at least I got coffee." "Yea 'coz you can't last without coffee." "It's true i can't." By the way Gail was around her, Holly guess that everything was cool between them.
Next day
Holly knew she didn't sleep enough last night, she could barley stay awale. "Holly." "Hello." "I'm guessing your here for the samples?" "I am sir yes." "This way then." The place was run down, with broken windows and mould growing everywhere. Someone lived here and Holly couldn't understand why, it looked like a hell hole. As she got to the basement, all that there was, was plants, illegal plants and substances everywhere. "So basically we want samples from around here. This is where we found the majority of everything down here." "Okay thank you." Holly couldn't concentrate, but she needed to get the samples and that was what she was going to do.
"OW SHIT!" Gail screamed. "You alright?" "I'm fine McNally. Jeez not everything's about you ya know!" "Alright no need to snap. Just seeing if you're okay." "I'm fine. Just leave." As McNally walked away, she looked down at her wrist. She had a nasty rash covering most of her wrist. "Peck over here." "Yeah sir?" "Let's look at your wrist!" "It hurts, real bad." "Yeah. I can see. McNally!" "Yes sir?" "Take peck to the hospital. Tell them she's on the job, it'll get her in quicker." "Okay sir." The last person she wanted to go somewhere with, had to take her to the hospital. "Sir I'm going to head out now. I've got the samples needed." "Okay thank you holly."
"Hi, she's on duty but damaged her wrist. We were wondering if you could take a look." Gail couldn't help but glare at McNally, putting her off of what she was saying. "Right this way. Can you tell me your name miss?" "Who me?" Gail snapped. She really didn't like hospital. "Yes, you're the one with the bad wrist?" "Right yea. Peck, Gail peck." "Okay Gail. We're going to have to numb your hand to have a look." "Do what you have to just don't let it hurt." "We'll try not to." Once the anesthetic kicked in, Gail started to feel drowsy and sleepy. "Gail. You're probably going to fall asleep for a bit. Just whilst we sort your hand out." "Okay." Gail loved the thought of sleep, and just like that she was asleep.
"Gail?" "Mhmm" "good your waking. We've sorted your hand out. But your going to have to stay for a bit whilst the anesthetic wares off." "Okay... I like you.. Your funny..." "Okay Gail." "So doc she's gonna be alright yea?" "She should be fine. Give her an hour and the anesthetic should have worn off." "Okay thanks doc." As the doctor walked out, Gail saw the light above her and dragged infront of her, and the she started singing. "The liiigght... It's soooo bright.. It could burn your eyes. But stop... Your ggoooonaa keep lloookinggg." "Gail! Snap out of it" "shut it McNally. Don't interrupt my singing." "Okay Gail." "My wrist hurts." "It will do. Look another half hour and you can go home." "Ugh too long... I wanna go now." "Half hour Gail. It's not that long."
Half hour later
"Do you want me to drive you home?" "Just coz you stayed with me doesn't mean I'm okay with what you did. You broke the code Andy. That's not cool. You know not to brake the code and you did. So no I don't want you to drive me home." "Look I know what I did was bad but you gotta forgive me sometime." "And that time isn't now. So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go home with a real friend." Gail then walked over to Holly, and Andy knew then that it was going to be ages until Gail forgave her, that's if she ever will. "Hey." "Hey holly." "You okay? I came as soon as you called." "Just hurt my wrist. They said it would get better in a couple days." "Okay. You wanna stay at mine tonight? You don't have to if you don't want to, I just thought you might want to relax after today." "I'd love to." "Great." Gail was relieved that nothing was awkward between the two of them. "I'm glad your my friend holly." "Me too Gail."
Few days later
Gail looked up from the conversation going on at the table she was sat at, to see Holly walk in. "I'm gonna go get anther drink!" Within seconds Gail was making her way over to Holly. "Helloooo." "Hey." "Make that 2? How bout I pay for this round and you pay for the next." "Actually I'm meeting someone." "Oh sorry." "Don't be." "so is she a someone, someone or just someone?" "Don't know yet." As Holly turned to look at the door she noticed her date walk in. "Thanks for the drink." "Yea" As holly walked away to meet her date, Gail couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy in her.
"Hey." Holly said as she hugged her date. "Heya how are you?" "I'm good thanks. How's you?" "Yeah I'm good thanks." During Holly and Susan's conversation Holly noticed Gail staring, well more like glaring at the both of them. "So who's that?" "Sorry what?" "The blonde girl glaring at you" "oh right. That's Gail. She's a friend." "Oh right. Well she looks a little jealous." "That's just her. She's like that." "Oh okay." "So how was your day?" "Well pretty busy. My sister keeps bugging me about her wedding." "She's getting married?" "Yeah, but I don't think it'll happen." "Oh right." "So how was your day?" "just a lot of stuff going on I guess. Can't really talk about it. Ya know confidential." "Ah so busy I'm guessing." "Yea you could say that." Throughout the conversation Holly couldn't help but steal small glances at Gail. After a while Gail made her way over to the table her friends were sat at. Still making sure that she could see Holly. "Hey so I got a text from my sister, she wants me to go see her. Something bout an emergency, sorry to have to ditch on you." Susan noticed the glances between both girls and thought that ditching would be the best plan. "Don't worry bout it. Make sure your sister is okay." "I'm really sorry about this." "Don't worry really. I'll walk you out." "Thanks." Deep down in Holly she was grateful for Susan leaving, because the only person on her mind was Gail.
Holly knew that the date didn't go according to plan but she wasn't going to let the date nor Gail mess with her head. All she wanted now was to go to sleep. And that's what she did.
"Morning holly." "Hey sue." "How are you today?" "I'm alright thanks. How are you?" "I'm good thanks. Did you hear?" "Hear what?" "Apparently there is these people after the police." "God really? That's not good!" "No we're all worried for them." "Oh my god I hope no one gets hurt." As soon as Sue said that, Holly's mind went strait to Gail. Worrying if she was going to get hurt in any way possible. She didn't know what she'd do if Gail got hurt.
"OFFICER DOWN, WE NEED BACK UP! NOW" Andy shouted into the radio. "This is Oliver 1504 responding we're on our way." "Hurry up." Andy was on the verge of tears with Chloe on the ground with a bullet in her neck. She was trying to keep her awake, but at the last minute Chloe passed out. "McNally where are you?" Oliver shouted out as he looked around for Andy. "We're behind the stone. Be careful, there's someone up there shooting." As Oliver ran over to see Andy, Gail looked around trying to see the gunner. Just then another shot went off and Gail ran over to Oliver. "Chloe!" Oliver shouted. "What happened?!" Oliver asked as he was trying to wake Chloe up. "We were patrolling and Chloe was behind me. I heard gun shots and then next thing you know Chloe had blood coming out of her neck and she fell to the floor." Andy explained in the best way she could. "Peck call for an ambulance." Oliver told Gail. "This is officer Peck we need and ambulance north side, of high park. An officer has been shot."
A couple hours later
"Oliver c'mon we gotta go now." Gail was getting impatient with Oliver. "We have to find where it's coming from!" "Do you want to survive or not?" "Fine. But we will find them." "Yes we will. Tomorrow, when there are more of us." Gail couldn't understand why people would go after the police, she knew it would be stupid. Yet there they are getting shot at by some random person. "OLIVER NOW C'MON MOVE IT!" "Sorry. I'll get in the car." "Jesus if you get hurt." "Look I'm in the car happy?" "Yes!" "Look let's just go back to 15 see what they say" "good idea Gail." As the were about to drive off, the radio made a sound. *we have a report of gunshots around the city?* "1507 this is peck. Yes there are people shooting. We have been shot at. No harm done, report on what to do?" *Head back* "okay thank you" Gail said to the person on the radio. "so looks like we're going back there." "Looks like it does. Thanks Ollie." "What for?" "Getting in the car." "Well I don't want to die. At least not today."
"Okay do good everyone." Frank said as he ended the meeting with division 15. "Hey Gail." "Sup mike." "Good luck out there." "Thanks you too." Gail really didn't want to go back out there especially knowing someone is shooting at officers. As Gail does, she put on a brave face and headed out of the meeting room.
