As soon as gail walked into fight night she was greeted by Oliver ..
Hey peck ... He smiled handing her some wine..
Where's your girl? He asked looking behind them .
Please don't ask... She winced ..
Wanna talk about it ? Oliver offered ..
No . Gail said shaking her head sipping the wine .. Instantly spitting it back in the glass handing it back to Oliver ..
Uh that's for you .. He laughed holding his hand up to push it back into Gail's possession ...
Gail laughed .. Where is everyone ?
Uh right up there .. Oliver pointed .. You get to sit in the good spot
Oh. And uh where are you sitting ?
There.. Oliver pointed disappointedly
Ooooh yeah .. With the white shirts .. Gail laughed ... Nudging him ...
Mmmm" I'll catch up with you after ok .. He winked ..
Hey .. Came a voice behind gail ... Have you seen wes? Officer luck from 27 asked ...
Uh no... I haven't
He was suppose to meet me at the bar.. The officer smiled .. Hey look... About the repo thing... I'm sorry .. I just get really competitive at work ..
No problem .. Gail smiled wickedly handing the cop the back washed drink ..
Luck took it with a smile taking a sip... Thanks
Gail hide her enjoyment as best she could ... See you around ?
Yeah I hope so .. Luck sighed ..
Gail grabbed a real drink and headed over to Traci and Steve .
Hey .. Traci smiled .. What are you doing here ? .. Where's holly ?
Gail shook her head taking a large gulp of her drink ..
That bad huh? Traci cringed ..
Mmmmmm.. Gail sniffed .. I really don't wanna talk about it ..
...
Holly pasted the floor of her kitchen with her phone stuck to her ear...
Gail it's me .. Again .. Look can you just call me back ? Please .. I really need you to let me explain ...
I know your mad but ... Please just call me .. Please .. X
Holly ran her hand through her hair .. She knew this was bad ... Shit... She sighed ...
Gail had been ignoring holly for the last 3 days .. Everyone at the division felt the force of gail pecks mood ...
She had practically offended everyone that cared about her ..
In turn they would ask if she was ok only to be met with some sarcastic comment or put down ...
They knew something was defiantly up when gail point blank refused to attend a murder scene later that week ... Knowing forensics would he there..
Andy was traci's wing man for the day ..
Hey holly ? She smiled ..
Hi Andy " holly replied looking over at all cops getting out the squad cars
How are you ?
Yeah I'm great " Andy smiled watching Holly's eyes scan the goings on behind her ..
She's not here.. Andy answered the question Holly's body language was asking
Holly looked straight at her forcing a smile.. Let's uh go in shell we ?
Andy led the way into the crime scene ...
Dr Stewarts here...
Hey hol... Traci smiled ... We have a young male here . Looks like a shooting but as you can see the bloody marks suggests he was possibly dragged here? .
Holly takes a closer look ... Or he crawled .. Dragged his way here himself.
Holly began inspecting the body ...
Ok defiantly 3 gun shot wounds ... Have you finished with the prints ?
Uh yeah .. Traci nodded ..
Ok .. Let's bag him and I'll get him on my table .. Holly said pulling off her latex gloves ..
So? Traci said carefully as they walked towards their cars...
So.? Holly repeated ..
Gail... I take it things aren't to good between you ?
Holly sighed ... I've reached out to her .. I've left messages but ... She shrugged ..
Traci sighed .. She's a law unto herself that one ..
Mmmm" so is she ... Holy swallowed I mean .. Is she .. Ok ?
Is Gail Peck ok? Traci laughed .. She leads you to believe she is yeah .. But ... No She isn't .. She's having a bad time ..
What do you mean ? Holly worried..
Holly .. A women was shot whist doing laundry... Gail found her and uh ... Sadly the lady died in hospital .. Gail's not taking it to well...
Oh...Uh I .. Im sorry .. I know how hard it can be for you guys ...but...Holly frowned .. I mean gail said death is part of the job .. What is it that's effected her so much ?
She left a little girl behind . Traci explained .. There is no other family ..
Oh...
Yeah... Gail's been visiting her .. A lot It's hit her harder then any other case ... And I'm guessing what ever's happening between the two of you ..isn't helping either ..
Holly felt like crying .. Knowing gail was going through such a thing and refusing to let her be there was hard for holly ..
I don't know what I'm suppose to do Traci.. She won't let me in...
Gail peck doesn't let any body in holly .. Traci stated opening her car door ..
Sometime you just have to break entry .. Ya know ?
I'll call you later .. See what you have for me !
As soon as holly as alone she grabbed for her phone ..
Gail please just answer me' .. Even if it's to tell me where to go...
I heard about what happened at work and .. Well .. I just wanna be here .. For you .. How ever you need me... Can you just confirm existence ?
Gail sat In the locker room listening to her voice mail ... Her eyes closed as she melted into Holly's voice ...
She missed her .. She wanted her ..
Placing her phone in her pocket she led on the Bench .. Staring up at the ceiling ..
Each day she ignored holly it became harder to let her guard down and answer the phone ..she began to fell stupid .. .
Gail was still mad with holly .. She couldn't understand why she allowed her friend to belittle her the way she did ...
Hey .. Rachel smiled .. You ok ?
Holly shrugged ..
I take it Gail's still ..AWOL?
Yup .. And it doesn't looks like she's coming back any time soon ... God I could kill Lisa... Holly moaned
Honey " Rachel sighed .. I know she can be a pain in the ass but .. Well she's just looking out for you ..
Please don't defend her rach . What she did was uncalled for ..
But I guess it just goes to show gail isn't in this .. Not like I thought .. She can't even text me! not been to tell me where to go ..
So what are you going to do? Rachel asked.. Sulk for months on end .. Hoping she's gonna come round ?
What ? Holly frowned .. No .. Of coarse not ..
Good .. Because I have a new nurse in the department .. She's new to town ..
No way .. Holly said waving her hands in front of her .. Your not setting me up ...
Who said I was setting you up ! ? Rachel laughed .. I was thinking maybe you could take her out for a drink .. Show her around .. It would take your mind off " you know who?
Ugh rach.. Holly moaned ...
Please... She really doesn't know anyone .. And it's not like I have the time .. A job.. 3 kids and a husband
Holly watched her friend Pout and use her big brown eyes to work her magic ..
Holly through her hands in the air .. " yeah ok .. Alright enough of the guilt trip ... But I'm warning you .. This most defiantly isn't a set up " I'm not interested in dating ok ?
Yup .. I'll give her your number .. Rachel smiled leaving the morgue..
"Have fun"
Holly slumped down into her chair .. Maybe a night out wouldn't be such a bad thing ?
