Chapter 10

"Hooooooolly, waaaake up" Gail was bouncing up and down on the end of their bed like a 6 year old,

"Gail what is it? It's like-" she lifted her head and checked her phone, she was lying on her stomach and buried her head back into her pillow "-it's 4am, you better have a damn good reason for waking me up" Gail flipped Holly over and sat on her thighs, she began peppering kisses along her jaw line,

"Happy thanksgiving baby" Gail whispered in her ear, Holly's eyes softened she kissed Gail tenderly,

"Happy thanksgiving honey" Gail kissed her passionately, she pushed her tongue into Holly's mouth who moaned loudly, she looked down at Holly's naked body, she planted kisses down her neck, and when she got to her breasts she caressed them with care, before pulling a nipple into her mouth and swirling her tongue while her left hand pinched her other nipple, Holly's breathing became faster,

"Gail, please" she gasped her voice dripping with arousal, Gail slowly moved her way down to Holly's flat stomach she kissed and nipped before she finally came to a stop where Holly needed her and blew on her clit making Holly's eyes roll back, she placed her mouth over Holly's sensitive bud and sucked hard, the brunette arched into the mattress, she moved to Holly's opening and thrust her tongue into her, she could feel the doctor's juices dripping into her mouth,

"oh god Gail, come up here" Gail was confused but moved up to face Holly who pulled her in for a passionate kiss, she moaned at the taste of herself, Holly was so wrapped up in the kiss she didn't notice Gail's hand teasing her opening, she pulled back and gasped,

"please" she whimpered and that was all Gail needed she thrust two fingers inside and used her legs to keep pumping in and out of the brunette, whose eyes were closed in pure pleasure, Holly kissed her, it was a sloppy, open mouthed kiss but full of passion.

Gail slipped a third finger in,

"You feel so good baby" Gail husked into Holly's ear, she curled her fingers hitting Holly in just the right spot, the brunette moaned in response, she thrust in and out faster and harder until she felt Holly's walls clench around her fingers before she cried out Gail's name, the blonde slipped down and licked up Holly's juices before removing her fingers, which earned a gasp from the spent brunette, she crawled up Holly's body and settled on her chest,

"baby? Have you cum?" Holly husked,

"it's okay Holly, you gave me several orgasms last night-"

"if I do recall you also gave me several orgasms last night" Gail blushed at the memory, "put you legs on either side of my head so you're straddling my face" Holly demanded and Gail obliged, Holly wrapped her arms around Gail's thighs and licked her tight opening, Gail moaned and pushed down harder, she placed her hands on the headboard to gain some balance and Holly thrust her tongue into her, Gail began to ride her girlfriend's tongue, her moans echoed around the room, the brunette continued to thrust her tongue until she felt Gail release and the blonde came into Holly's mouth moaning Holly's name, Gail collapsed off Holly who cuddled into her side,

"Gail, that was so hot",

"mmm" was Gail's only response before they both fell into a peaceful slumber.


Few hours later

Gail was woken by a kiss to her lips,

"morning beautiful" Holly whispered,

"morning gorgeous" Gail whispered back,

"what time are you in going into work today?" she asked as she saw Gail stretch,

"umm not until six, you?" she smiled at Holly,

"me too, so we can just relax, maybe marathon Lord of the rings and cuddle", Holly adorably suggested,

"sounds good to me my little nerd" Gail stood up and headed to the bathroom, Holly's eyes followed Gail's cute butt,

"I'm taking a shower, want to join?" she shouted back, Holly jumped out of bed and hurried off to the bathroom.


"Holly where the hell is your coffee?" she said loudly,

"Top cupboard, left side" the brunette shouted back in response, she was getting the movies ready for their marathon,

"want any?"

"no thanks, I'll have Treasure of Japan though!", Gail stopped pouring water into her cup and marched into the lounge,

"Treasure of what?", Holly looked up,

"Treasure of Japan, it's a green tea Gail", Gail stared at Holly like she had just said the most revolting thing possible,

"ew trust you to drink green tea Hol",

"it's good for you and better than drinking coffee, I've been coffee free for 3 months now, didn't you notice?!" Gail looked down at her feet,

"I was too busy trying not to kiss you" it was the truth, every-time Gail was around Holly, she would always stare at her lips, her focus only on not kissing them,

"okay I accept your answer, now shoo go and get the drinks and snacks!" Holly ushered Gail out the room.

They spent the rest of the day cuddled on the couch, Gail was content staying cuddled into Holly's front, Holly's arms wrapped around her middle tightly and Gail's resting on top, but they both had to go to work,

"Gail, honey, we need to get ready for work" she mumbled into Gail's ear, who reluctantly stood up and pulled Holly up into her and hugged her tightly before heading to get into her uniform which was hanging in Holly's closet. They both got ready and headed out.


"Um so how do we do this?" Holly asked quietly without taking her eyes off the road,

"let people think what they want, but Holly I want you all to myself for now, is that okay?" Gail asked unsure what the brunette's reaction would be,

"of course it's okay Gail, but we'll eventually have to tell them" Gail smiled sweetly at Holly and kissed her cheek,

"okay, see you later?"

"sure, what time are you off?"

"5am, depending on what mysterious case I'm supposed to be on", Holly froze, she had completely forgotten to tell Gail about the case, so she wouldn't be prepared for what she was about to face,

"okay I'll pick you up, I'm sure you need to pick up a few things from yours so we can swing by after work", with that Gail kissed her cheek and ran into the station.

"Peck! Good to see you back" Swarek said as he walked her to the briefing, "okay, good luck with the case Peck, see you around", Gail nodded in his direction before entering the room,

"Officer Peck! Welcome back!" Oliver boomed across the room,

"Thank you sir" Gail responded adding a warm smile and took a seat,

"Okay for the benefit of Officer Peck and McNally, we are going to summarize the case quickly!" he switched on the projector,

"okay first image, you can see this young child was badly beaten, our personal pathologist as of yesterday Dr Stewart, has just forwarded her autopsy results, and he didn't die quickly unfortunately the bastard made sure it was slow and painful, it was the same with the young girl, except she was sexually assaulted-" Gail swallowed a lump in her throat, she wanted to scream, how could someone possibly do this? It disgusted her, she wanted to cry, 'wait did he say that Holly was assigned to this yesterday? Why didn't she tell me? She must have been briefed...' she was snapped out of her thoughts by another picture, a young woman, her hands and legs bound together, "-we can see that she was abducted, drugged and assaulted according to the autopsy results, the only thing we know about our killer is that he kills women and children, we have had no grown male victims, I want you all to work hard and bring this person in! That's all!" Oliver finished.

Gail bolted out of the room and straight into Holly, she flung her arms around her and buried her face in her neck and started to sob,

"hey calm down baby" Holly whispered into her ear while she rubbed soothing circles into her back, Gail looked up her eyes red and puffy,

"why didn't you tell me?" she asked softly as she looked into Holly's chocolate brown eyes,

"I forgot, I know it was stupid of me and and I should have told you as soon as I found out, especially with the third victim, I mean with Per-" Holly stopped talking not wanting to compare Gail's traumatic event to the case,

"Perik, you can say Perik Holly I'm not going to break" she said genuinely,

"I know you won't, I just feel like such an idiot for forgetting and-" she couldn't say anymore because Gail had kissed her silent, she rested her forehead against Holly's,

"Holly you're not stupid or an idiot, you forgot, it's okay, I just-" she paused and tried to pull completely away from Holly but she held onto her by her hands, "-I saw the kids and then the woman I just I felt so sick, I wanted to just curl up and cry, then that woman, she was abducted, drugged and assaulted" she let the tears flow freely, Holly pulled her into a embrace,

"shh it's okay baby, you're human, things will affect you, some more than others, and it's okay" she kissed Gail's nose who smiled a little,

"I better get back to work",

"me too, I just came to give this report to Oliver" she avoided Gail's eyes,

"no you didn't, I mean you will now that you're here but you came to check on me" Holly confirmed what Gail said by nodding,

"I love you" Gail said simply,

"I love you too" with that she gave Gail a quick kiss before heading to Oliver's office. Gail straightened herself out and left the little corner they had been tucked away in,

"what the fuck are you a dyke now?" Gail stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to see Nick standing there,

"It's none of your business Collins, think what you want, call me what you want I don't care because that beautiful woman up there-" she pointed to Holly who was standing oblivious in Oliver's office "-is mine" his jaw dropped, before he pulled himself together,

"you are not gay and when you were with me you sure weren't gay then, that woman up there, won't be yours for long" he turned and walked away, leaving Gail slightly confused by what he meant.


"Hey how did the rest of your shift go?" Holly asked Gail as she got into the passenger side,

"it was okay, just manning the desk today, no major breaks in the case, oh and I ran into Nicholas, how was your day?" Holly started the car and drove off before speaking,

"what did Nick say?" she was curious, she knew Gail had a bad experience with him,

"nothing Hol, is it okay if I just stay at mine tonight?"

"Of course" Holly replied shortly, Gail took her hand and squeezed it,

"I need to catch up on laundry and stuff that's all, and Nick was a dick, I just want to forget about it"

Holly felt better about the situation,

"okay Gail I trust you enough not to run from me" Gail smiled and pecked her on the cheek,

"goodnight Holly"

"goodnight baby, text me later"

"I will" she exited the car and headed to her apartment, she saw Holly drive off as she let herself in, it was freezing so she switched the heating on and turned the fire on before taking a quick shower and changing into sweatpants and a hoodie, she sat down next to the fire and text Holly,

'Gail: nice and warm ready for bed, it's 6am and I do recall you not telling me how your day went so spill!'

Holly chuckled at Gail's message, she had done the same as Gail but had opted for bed instead of the fire,

'Holly: My day was disturbing, the autopsy's of the kids was horrible, but overall it was okay just boring 'nerdy' stuff'

Gail felt guilty she hadn't paid more attention to her girlfriend's day and emotions,

'Gail: I'm sorry :( I should have made sure you was okay too :('

The brunette could tell Gail was beating herself up so she typed out a quick reply,

'Holly: Don't apologize, unfortunately I have had to do autopsy's on kids before, it still scares me a little but I know how to deal with it, I leave hoping I'm helping to catch whoever did this to a child, please don't be sorry, I love you and I really am okay :)'

Gail sighed and headed to bed, once she was tucked under the covers she tapped out a reply to Holly,

'Gail: Only if you're sure, you can always talk to me, you know that. I love you too nerd, now how about we sleep or we will both pass out from exhaustion tomorrow'

Holly wiggled even deeper into her covers,

'Holly: I know xx", with that she allowed herself to succumb to sleep.

She could hear his wing tipped shoes, she was trying to get out of the restraints that held her down, her only thought was that she was going to die, this was the end of her life "Oh Gail, Gail, Gail, Gail-" he caressed her face she could feel the bile building up "-why didn't you tell me you were a police officer? I'm just going to put this into your veins, the drug should work quicker if infused into the blood stream, and don't worry no one will miss you because no one loves you, but I do, I love the smoothness of your pale skin, I love-" he paused, "-that you can't do anything because you are so helpless and your doctor friend-" her heart stopped what was Holly doing here? No not Holly not Holly! He took off her blindfold and turned her head violently to the side, she screamed, she saw Holly tied up and gagged, she looked badly beaten, Gail tried in vain to get out her restraints but the drugs were starting to kick in, "I can't decide who to help first, you or the doctor", he walked over to Holly who was awake but barely, he put a knife to her throat and began to cu-

"HOLLY" Gail bolted up, hair stuck to her face, she pulled her knees up and began to cry uncontrollably, while saying Holly's name through tears, if only she would reach out to Holly.

That's the end of this chapter! Nick is a right asshole! He is so up to something dodgy!

Why won't Gail just reach out to Holly more?! Gah Gail what are you doing?!

See you guys next chapter! Thank you for all the support :)
