Holly woke from her deep sleep .. She had moved across the bed searching for the hot blonde..

As she stretched out her hand met an empty space...

The sheets were cold that indicated that the space had been unoccupied for some time ...

Holly rolled on to her back listening for signs of gail ...

Gail? She called out .. Gail are you here?

The silence made holly feel uneasy ..

Had gail freaked out this morning and ran in a panic?

Yes gail had been fine the night before .. Even opening up to holly.. Happy with what has taken place...

But did the events of what division 15 had been through blur her vision some how?

She was emotional .. Hurting .. Scared..

What if in the cold light of day gail regretted what happened between them ?

Holly rolled over checking the time ..

It's was 6.45am.. Gail really had left early ..

Checking her phone in hope gail had let her know why she had left made holly feel sad ..

Nothing ...

Gail sits in the squad car yawning ..

Late night peck ? Nick asked ..

Didn't we all ? Gail muttered leaning on the window ..

It was tough.. Nick sighed... What's with the hair?

Needed a change .. Is that ok with you officer Collins?

Nick smiled .. It's cute .. Suits you ..

Gail didn't acknowledge the compliment ..

So holly?

Gail shot him a death stare... What about her " she snipped

Nick shrugged .. Nothing .. I was just going to say .. She seems nice..

Yeah she is .. Gail replied ..

So .. Are you two ?

Are we what nick? Gail snapped .. Huh are we what?

Woah... Nick laughed holding his hands up .. Calm down peck .. I was only asking .

Yeah well don't " mine and Holly's relationship is nothing to do with anyone .. Especially you ... Gail ranted ..

Ok ... ok gail... Take it easy ..

To late .. Gail was in gail mode.

Tell me nick .. How is andy these days ?

I mean I wouldn't know considering we're no longer friends .. You know what with my BOYFRIEND deciding it was ok to fall from my best friend ..

Tell me nick .. How did that work out ? Oh yeah it backfired .. Because she's in love with someone else ..

Nick shook his head .. He knew gail well enough to know he wouldn't win and argument with her ..

A call comes in for them to attend..

Ok peck .. You win... You win.. He says switching on the sirens...

Gail stared at him for a minute before slumping into her chair ..

Holly was having a busy day .. Sat at the computer analysing DNA ..

Busy .?. Came a familiar voice from the entrance of the lab...

Gail? The doctor grinned..

Yeah " gail frowned.. You seem surprised ..

Uh yeah I ... Well... Holly blushed .. You weren't there when I woke this morning I .. I just ..

You jusssst? Gail prolonged ..

You thought I bailed huh ? She added with a smile ..

Holly looked at her then back to the computer .. Sorry...

No I'm sorry .. Gail said approaching the desk handing holly a coffee and a small bag ...

Lunch .. She smiled ... I had to be at work for 6 ... You were sound a sleep snoring away .. I didn't wanna wake you ...

Uh I do not snore ...

Gail raised her eyebrows.. If you say so lunchbox ... Anyways ... I was going to text you but.. She held up her phone ... Battery died and I haven't had chance to charge it...

Holly felt relieved she didn't know how she would handle gail had she has freaked out ..

Holly nodded sipping her coffee .. Well ... I'll let you off then .

Gee thanks nerd" gail rolled her eyes leaning in for a kiss...

Holly reciprocated leaning into meet Gail's pouted lips ...

Mmmmm" she moaned...

Gail smiled against Holly's lips...

So what are you working on?

Right now? Right now I'm taking a break " holly laughed pulling gail back in by her jacket ...

Gail laughed ... Ooooo doctor...

Once the pair had finished eating lunch .. Nick radioed through ..

Hey officer snark.. We got a job ..

Holly frowned...

Don't ask.. Gail shook her head with a sigh ..

Ok I'm out .. Call you later .. She informed the doctor giving her a lingering kiss...

Ok... Holly winked ... Hey gail ? She called out ..

Yeah?

I'm glad you stop by ..

Gail grinned as she walked back to the doctor.. Kissing her gently..

Earth to peck ..I repeat Earth to peck .. Came through on the radio ..

Gail broke the kiss...Shut your face Collins before I taze you in the ass! Gail snarled back .. Causing holly to laugh ..

Later ... The cop winked heading out the door

Bye" holly waved .. Shaking her head ... Gail's attitude amazed holly..

She could never understand how someone could get away with being so hostile ...

The gail peck she had experienced when they were alone was a far cry from the badass cop personae gail wore so proudly ..
