AN: I don't exactly know how this story will play out, so bear with me on this one. Feel free to send my one-shot prompts or ideas for this story in the future. Drop one in a review after you read this chapter. I love feedback on my stories, and I love new ideas from readers. I'm also looking for someone to Beta this story if they like, PM me if you are interested. If you have any ideas for a new name, this was only a temporary one, I'd love to hear those too.


When Holly woke-up the next morning she rolled over to find Gail wasn't there. Getting up out off her bed was a hard task in itself, she was exhausted. Being at the hospital till 2 in the morning and finally getting some sleep at 3AM was not how she liked to spend her nights.

Walking out to her kitchen to start a pot of coffee, she saw Gail had left a note on her counter.

Sorry, had an early shift. Not being a cat yet, just to reassure you that I didn't just leave. I'll see you at work later. Text me.

Holly breathed out a sigh of relief as she read the note in her hands. Gail hadn't left, she just had to work early. Turning around Holly got curious as to what time it actually was, 9:04. She had half an hour to get ready and go to work.


Gail wasn't enjoying her day at work so far, paired up with a rookie cop she had never met, she defiantly wasn't having fun today. The only thing keeping her in a good mood is remembering Holly.

"Alright rookie, time to head out." Gail shouted at the new kid.

"My name is Carlson, Jack Carlson." He tried to tell her for the fifth time.

"I don't care, you are a rookie, you earn the privilege of me calling you by your name."

Gail might not always show the different sides of her, but this surely was her attitude for everyday work on patrol.

Heading out to their assigned car, 15-07, Gail got in the driver's side, and she could tell today would be a long boring day.


Gail's whole day was all speeding and tickets until she went off for lunch. Holly wasn't expecting her down in the lab, but Gail wanted to surprise her as a thanks for last night.

"Knock, Knock." Gail spoke as she walked into the lab and saw Holly.

"Hi, what are you doing down here?" Holly asked, surprised by her arrival.

"You don't sound to happy to see me, maybe I should just take this sandwich with me, I could give it to my rookie." Gail questioned, obviously being sarcastic.

"Sorry. Great to see you! It's been so long!" Holly yelled, grabbing the food from Gail before she tried to leave with it.

"That's more like it." Gail gave her a reserved smile.

The two ate in silence for a while before Holly got a call about some paperwork she needed to finish before she left that day.

"I better go anyway, I'm going back to the hospital to wait for results after work." Gail got up to throw away her napkin.

"You should get some sleep. You need it."

"I'm more worried about my fellow officers then my sleep." Gail replied.

"You and I both know you only called them 'fellow officers' because you don't want people to hear you say the word 'friend.'"

Gail just smiled in response as she walked out of the lab, ready to get back to work and get this day over with, and to go see if anything has changed about her friends health.


Driving to the hospital later that day was exhausting. Gail's day was long and boring. A few tickets and a check on some kid that was dealing, turns out he just looked and smelt high All The Time.

Getting to the hospital and spotting Dov in the waiting room she walked over to him.

"Any changes, at all?" Gail asked him.

"Chloe isn't awake, Oliver is being discharged... he is fine. Nothing about Sam yet that we haven't already heard." Dov said weakly.

Gail just gave him a tap on the shoulder to show her sympathy, and from Gail, he knew what it meant.

"I'm gonna wait here a while, wait for something else. You look like you could use the company."
