Dont Own Rookie Blue or Stick It.
I entered The Penny with my file inside of my purse.
"Okay, what is so important that you need to tell me?" exclaimed Sam
"You mean 'us'" piped Oliver.
The entire group seemed to be vert interested in what I had to say.
"Are you like Haley's missing twin or something?" Dov yelled with way to much excitement. Finally Chris decided to pop in and say "well that would be so amazingly awesome if you were related."
Traci was the only quiet one throughout the entire exchange. I would catch her looking over her shoulder, or searching around The Penny to avoid being involved in the conversation.
"Well, umm..." I was nervous to say the least. And with that I pressed my lips together , and breathed through my mouth pushing air on my nose.
"Spit it out already!" Ollie yelled
"yeah"
"yeah!"
"yeah!"
were all chorused throughout my fellow officers.
I stood there quiet looking at Traci for help. She had a look in her eyes that said "I don't know." I flashed her the most pleading eyes. She just shrugged her shoulders and mouthed "sorry." I looked around the room to be stopped by one thing.
"MCNALLY!" I turned around to come face-to-face with an angry Sam Swarek.
"Umm, oh yeah, Uhhh..."You guys remember how 2 years ago I came here to 15th?"
They all nodded their heads yes.
"Well I had been in college at University of Washington in the United States. For a couple years before my six month Rookie training." I was explaining this very slowly although my heart was begging to move faster, as it was beating a million times per second.
"McNally-Andy you never went to college. I have looked through your files. You were working as a teacher." Sam shook his head in utter disbelief.
"Everyone hold on." I inhaled taking a deep breath very slowly, as I allowed my body to relax so I could continue. " Okay. SO you all know Haley Grahamn was the 'It Girl' in Gymnastics or 'The Powerhouse.' Everybody wanted to work with her."
"Andy how do you know this?" Dov said. Surprisingly he wasn't as excited as before.
"I'm getting there hold on. Okay so 13 years ago you all know Haley Grahamn worked with Chris DeFrank the best coach out there. Well they qualified for worlds. Well she walked out on worlds devastating the United States, her team, and herself. Well something happened that night. And that's why she walked away and quit was hated by everyone in the gymnastic world. And two years later she got into alot of trouble. Let's just say cops here at 15th were always involved."
I watched as Sam and Oliver flashed each other a quick glance, and then returned their attention back to me. "Sam and Oliver were her frequent 'pals.' They were always picking her up. And she always ran from them, trying to give them a hard time. She thought she was Bad Ass. But one day she did the stupidest thing and destroyed a house. Causing thousands of dollars to fix. Sam and Oliver picked her up once again, and brought her to the station." I walked over to Jerry and patted him on the back. "Then our great friend here, Jerry was detective and questioned her on everything. Member that Jer?" He nodded in agreement. Then our one and only Officer Swarek gave Haley his number." Sam's head snapped up instantly. He gave me a questioning look as if saying 'why do you know this?"
"Andy, once again how do you know this?" Chris and Dov must have been sharing the same thoughts because they piped in at the same time. The entire group went silent and Trace nodded to continue.
"Because I know her, like I know her better than anybody on this earth. Now hold on and let me finish without interruptions." They all agreed. "Okay so as punishment she went to VGA. Short for Vickerman Gymnastics Academy. Where she became an active gymnast again. She gained respect from everyone in the gymnastics world. And from someone she never thought possible. The man she hated. But also the one man who showed he cared, and respected her. Haley's coach Burt Vickerman. By doing all of this she helped to change the gymnastic world to what we know it as today. But she went and lead her team at the Olympics. While there they won gold. And she got gold on the all-around." In and out I told myself. I was shaking so badly Trace grabbed my hand and smiled at me. That one smile gave me all the encouragement I needed. "Well after all of her achievements she went to college. She also went to the University of Washington."
I heard Dov whisper "cool, maybe they were like best friends/ roommates."
Chris replied " I think there is more to it though."
"Yes Chris there is. The reason my file says I was a teacher was because Haley Grahamn was in college at the time." I watched as the TO's and Jerry gasped in realization, while the Rookies except Traci grew confused. Sam was quiet the whole time. But I knew he was seething under the surface. I was honestly surprised steam wasn't rolling out of his ears. "As some of you now know you realize what I am getting at. Now for those of you who don't. I am Haley Grahamn." I felt my heart stop and everyone gasped. The room was completely silent. And I was waiting for Sam to say something. But he kept quiet. Stone faced, way beyond pissed off. I tried to lighten the mood by saying "Hey, Sam know you know why I was able to pass your test scores." I laughed lightly. To the same face I saw on him before. Nothing.
"So your telling me that you are Andy McNally and Gymnastic Superstar Haley Grahamn?"
"Yes, Jerry. Yes, I am."
"But how did you..."
"I mean..."
"How was it kept a secret?" Gail chirped in
"Why didn't you tell us?" Ollie replied. It hurts to say Ollie expression touched me the most and hurt me the worst.
I knew Ollie was asking more for Sam's sake since he became quiet throughout the whole exchange. I knew exactly why I hadn't told him. "Okay first you need to realize that my whole rebellious stage was set on an event that altered my life. Why I quit gymnastics the first time." I felt my mouth go dry, and my eyes started to water, As I pleaded for the waterworks to stop. "My mom... she a..." and that's when my eyes ran like Niagara Falls.
Trace walked up and engulfed my in a bear crushing hug. She was way more than a best friend. She was my sister, No matter what she always had my back. As I was choking back sobs, she whispered in my ear, "Let me explain it to them." All I did was nod.
And a single tear dropped on her shirt. She turned me around an whiped her thumbs across my cheekbones. Banishing the tears that had fallen on my face. She looked me in the eyes with a look that said 'ready?' I nodded once more.
"Her mother had an affair with Chris DeFrank; or Haleys coach, while being married to her father. And then her mother abandoned her because she refused to return to DeFrank two years later. Thats what produced bad Haley getting into trouble."
When the waterworks stopped I said "Before everything I was nice, did what I was told, I was obedient, very obedient, I never had a record, basically becoming who I am today. I was embarrassed about my past choices. And I needed a fresh start. The reason it says Andrea 'Andy' McNally was a teacher was because Boyko helped me to create a false, but real in a sense, identity. He agreed people shouldn't know. The only other person that knows is Frank, because he's 'Chief.' But I have never really been a teacher."
I pulled the file from my purse watching as everyone stared at the paper, silently. " This if for you to look at, and before you say anything my real name is Haley Andrea Grahamn McNally. I used Haley Grahamn as my gymnast name for competing. and Andy McNally was a cover. Although McNally is my dad's last name as you know. And Grahamn is my mothers maiden name."
"I'll be right back." I turned to walk away to be caught by Trace. She wanted to know if I needed anything. I told her no and proceeded to the bathroom. Well you told them. Yeah and now what do you they think? You saw Sam he won't even talk to me. Yeah he coping, he'll get over it. You lied about your past, who hasn't? Stop being dramatic and get over it! Your Haley Andrea Grahamn McNally; cop and gymnast. Yeah what going to happen? Are they going to treat us differently? Will we now be Haley Grahamn to them? Famous? Or Andy McNally? Haley Grahamn had been AWOL for many years. Whats not to say someone lets it slip? They are our friends. They would never do anything to intentionally hurt us. I hope your right.
I walked out of the bathroom. Ready to turn the corner of the hall when something grabbed my from behind. A protective hold against my waist. I instantly knew who it was. I slowly turned around, to see a very angry Sam Swarek. His face was hard as stone. His signature smirk-dimpled grin was replaced with a grim line. His eyebrows were knitted together. His eyes were like slits, full of bitterness. I placed my hands on the sides of his face to have them quickly yanked away.
"Why?" he held my face so I had no other choice but to look at him
"What do you mean?" I knew already what he meant
"McNally!" Oh so he was using his TO's voice. So I replied in a flirt tone "Sam."
"Stop playing games!"
"You wanna know why I didnt tell you?" he nodded with the same expression
"I was embarrassed I didn't want people to know my problems back home. Or I was an idiot as a child who got in trouble alot. Or that her CURRENT boyfriend was always the one who put her there. And before you say something about not telling you in the beginning. You hated me! Remember I was an overeager Rookie who couldn't do her job, because I busted your UC. So I wasn't about to tell you 'Oh, hey Sam member me Haley Grahamn.' Yeah I got to know your true colors."
"Oh and you couldn't show me the same courtesy? I knew Haley, I knew you!"
We were at each others throats unaware of the audience of friends behind us watching.
"This is about trust isn't it! You don't trust me because of what your family has put you through."
I slapped him across the face. Sending gasps from behind us. Now aware of our friends. Chris, Ollie, Jerry, and Dov, were claiming a very angry Sam. While Traci, Gail and Noel were around me. I have no idea why, because I could have them down and hurt in no time. I couldn't help but cry " NO IT'S NOT SAM! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! YOU HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT!"
"SAMMY! DUDE YOU CANNOT SAY THAT SHE JUST TOLD YOU HER BIGGEST SECRET AND YOU BLOW UP ON HER! GO APOLOGOZE NOW!" That was all that was heard from all of Dov, Chris, Jerry, and Oliver.
"Actually give her at least 10 minutes, and I'm not taking no as an answer!" Oliver was livid. With a wife and 2 girls. You learn never even if you are right day anything life that, disrespectful to a woman. Especially one you love.
"Yeah, yeah okay I really do need to. I was wayy out of line. I just hope she will listen and accept my apology."
Man, i have to admit it. I Sam Swarek am a VERY stupid man. I love this girl for gods sake and I was way out of line.
The girls led me out to the table, where I sat down. After about 5 minutes of trying to relax, I was still upset
"Guys I'm leaving"
"Okay if you need anything call!" Traci yelled
"kay"
"Same for us McNally! Promise?" Gail and Noel yelled
"Promise"
I walked out of the Penny unsure where to go. I walked to where ever my feet took me.
Sam and the guys walked to the table later to find a missing Andy. The girls explained she left very upset. Sam had agreed he need to apologize. But agreed to give her a few hours to cool down before heading home.
I walked to place that changed my life. I walked into the building knocking on the door.
"Come in"
"Sir I want to start the UC effective now!"
