The penny was In full swing, Dov was trying his hardest to get his fellow officers into a game of trivia
" dude ? Didn't Chloe kicking your ass teach you nothing ? Chris teased
"Hey" Dov snapped " I was having a bad day . She didn't beat me "
Uh score card said differently " Chris argued much to Chloe's amusement
" I worked 12hrs I was hungry and tired " Dov tried to justify
" yeah yeah you keep telling yourself that Epstein ". Chris laughed as he headed to the bar ..
" you not joining us Gail? He asked with a smile .
Gail shook her head " and listen to the king and queen of dorks? Think I'll pass .. Suddenly Gail stood up straight her eyes shooting to the door .. " Holly had arrived with Steve and Traci . Gail began to iron out the invisible creases in her clothes .
" you ok ? Chris asked slightly confused of his friend change in body language .
Gail shrugged " yeah "
"Hey guys" Steve smiled placing a hand on his sisters shoulder " Diaz kinda already met earlier but this is My baby sister Gail . Gail this is Dr Stewart our new pathologist "
Gail smiled at the brunette ..
" hi again doc" Chris smiled as she saluted her
" oh god " Holly laughed " please called me Holly "
" Holly it is " Chris grinned holding his hand out " I'm Chris ..Diaz. Can I get you a drink ?
Holly licked her bottom lip " actually I think Gail owes me one " she smirked
Gail smiled again with a nod turning to the bar " bourbon right ?
Steve was a little confused but shrugged it off " I'll have a beer "he pipped in ..
" uh buy your own loser " Gail snapped pushing his hand away as he began rubbing her face ..
Traci pulled Steve away " Gail get your brother a beer, I'll have a vodka and we will leave you to it " Traci smiled nodding for Chris to follow ..
" you want coke with ? Gail pointed to the bar tender pouring the drinks
Holly shook her head " just Ice"
Gail nodded impressed " strong drinker huh?
Holly leant on the bar " I can hold it " she smiled ..
The bartender placed the drinks down taking a 20 off Gail .. " just not tequila huh ? She teased making Holly blush .
" Holly ? Steve called waving her over..
Holly nodded taking her drink " you coming over ?
Gail shrugged " and watch the dork and his queen eat each other's faces off ? .. I'll pass thanks "
Holly smiled as she headed over to the other cops " hey" she smiled as she took a seat Steve had vacated for her ..
Steve introduced Holly to the gang properly . Dov instantly volunteering the doc to join Chloe on his team in the trivia game .
"Uh that's cheating " Andy sulked
" no it isn't " Dov argued
" uh yeah " andy nodded " it is .." Your a dork " Chloe kicked your ass last week and now you want the good doctor here?
"Yeah " Dov smirked " that leaves you , Diaz and Collins .
Andy threw her hands in the air " oh joy .
"Suck it up McNally I called it " Dov laughed .
Gail ? Chris called out " come join us we need some help "
Gail was stood with her back to the bar looking directly at her friends interacting with the doctor .
" yeah c'mon brat " Steve laughed .
Gail shook her head downing her drink ordering another .
" what's with her ? Andy asked .
Half the group shrugged . " you know Gail " Chloe smiled
Holly turned to look at Gail who again was facing her slouching against the bar .
Her hair in that tight pony tail, even tighter jeans that clung in all the right places . Biker boots and a leather jacket for added coolness .
She looked sexy and as much as Holly wanted to drag her ass out of that bar for round 2 she was still holding a little anger about the whole " leaving thing "
" Can I get anyone a drink " Holly asked
Every one all mutter there "no's and " don't be silly's as Steve explained she was the newbie and newbies don't buy their own drinks ...
Holly smiled rolling her eyes passing Dov her glass as she headed to the bar ..
" you not joining us? Dov asked
Gail turned to her friend " I'm not uh the mood "
" well it's pretty rude Gail . I mean Holly is new to our team and you can't even be bothered to introduce yourself " Dov moaned as he ordered beers and a bourbon for Holly .
" That for the lady with the glasses ? The bar tender asked
" uh yeah " Dov nodded
" paying for just the beers then " the bartender stated " her drinks are taken care of "
Dov looked confused " uh ok ? But uh by who ?
The bar tender nodded towards Gail.
" not so rude now huh? Gail smirked sipping her beer ..
" oh look who it is " peck and her poodle " Wes from 27 diversion laughed as he and officer Amy Luck approached the bar.
"Grow up " Dov shook her head ..
Gail laughed " no it's ok Dov.. I mean Wes here is still upset that your sleeping with his wife .
Wes wasn't amused he hated the fact that Chloe was with Dov. He wanted them to give things another go but all Chloe wants it a divorce .
"You better watch your mouth Peck " he barked
" ohhhhhhh I'm really scared " Gail teased " tell me Wes how does it feel to know that this? She pointed to Dov " is actually a better " man" then you ?
Wes knew Gail was trying to get arise out of him and although he tried to shrug it off Gail had gone to far .
Stepping a little closer to Gail he whispered " you know what Peck ? You lucky you're women "
" hey hey c'mon" Dov intervened standing in between the two cops drawing attention from 15 diversions table ..
" Steve ? Traci said worriedly tapping his chest .
Steve got off his seat to see what the problem was followed by Chloe
Holly watched on her eyes firmly on Gail " Traci is everything ok?
Traci touched the doctors shoulder " I think so " see those cops are from 27 diversion it's kinda like a constant rivalry .
The black guys married to Chloe .. Well almost divorced
"And she's know with Dov? Holly asked
Traci nodded watching on ..
" that's guy looks kinda pissed off at Gail ?" Holly worried
Traci laughed " you don't need to worry about Gail . She can hold he own and trust me Holly , she probably started it "
"Tell your kid sister to shut her mouth " Wes snapped at Steve
" yeah ok but you need to calm down " Steve warned.
Dov " Chloe whispered " what's going on .
"Wes is still pissed off that you prefer sleeping with Dov them him " Gail grinned
" I'm warning you peck " Wes pointed
" And I'm warning you " Steve said blocking Gail from his view . " you need to calm down grab a drink .. On me .
"Steve what the..? Gail fumed .
Wes nodded and he and Luck made there way to the other side of the bar ..
" Gail for god sake do you have to start with them every damn time ?
"He started it ? Gail protested " ask Dov?
Just leave it " Steve warned heading back to the table ..
Dov placed the bourbon in front of Holly .
Thanks " she smiled
"Don't thank me " Dov held his hands up " I didn't buy it . All your drinks are taken care of " he nodded over her shoulder at the now fuming blonde ..
Holly smiled getting up off her seat " I'll uh .. go thank her.
Traci gave her a big grin and waved her off ..
Gail was facing the bar her and Wes were still eyeballing each other .
" you know I was joking about buying me drinks all night " Holly said making Gail Jump .
" what ? Or uh .. It's the least I can do . The blonde swallows turning to face the brunette .
Holly leant on the bar pointing to Gail's beer as she made eye contact with the bar tender ..
" the bourbons giving me a head ache "
" oh .. Gail swallowed handing Holly her beer .
Holly sipped it before placing it back down to pay for 2 fresh ones the bar tender nodded towards Gail .. And left with out taking the money
" so you always causing trouble peck?
Gail looked over at Wes and luck before turning her back to the bar
" they're morons . He started it " she laughed under her breath .
Holly smiled into her bottle " Traci seems to think you more then likely started it "
Gail frowned looking over at her friend " Traci knows nothing .
Holly smiled .. So ?
So? Gail frowned
"Well at the lab today you said you wanted to explain yourself ? Holly said not looking at Gail .
Gail shifted a little before pulling herself on to the bar stool . " I did huh?
Holly swigged her beer waiting for Gail's to speak ..
There they are " Collins called out whistling loudly
The whole bar began to clap as Oliver and celery made there way through .
Gail looked up to the ceil thanking god .. She wasn't sure exactly what she was going to say to Holly right at that moment .
Oliver and celery waved as they reached the table ..
Gail lifted her bottle and nodded while Holly gave them a wave and a warm smile.
So?
Shit" Gail thought knowing she did own Holly an explanation.
Holly ? She said turning to the Doctor their legs touching slightly ..
" ok here's the thing " she swallowed
" I'm like a cat. I'm very good at climbing then the minute I get up there I don't know what to do. I wanna get down but I don't know how to do that so "...She sips her drink ." So I create an emergency situation to get out of it ..
Holly frowned Gail has completely lost her " of the tree ?
" of relationships " Gail said looking into Holly's eyes ..
Holly slowly nodded " oh .. Well you know what Gail ? I didn't ask you for any kind of relationship .. I just would have appreciated it if you would have been there when I woke up ."
Holly felt a little annoyed by this time she took her beer off the bar moving away from Gail " I'm no ones booty call " she added as she walked back to the table ..
" shit" Gail cringed . That was not how she wanted the "talk" to go ..
"Fuck"
Peck" Oliver called waving her over .
" kill me now " Gail sulked grabbing her drink heading over to a grinning Oliver ..
Sit " he smiled
Had to be the chair next to Holly didn't it " Gail sulked to herself .
" so I'm glad you could all make it . Celery and I couldn't think of a better bunch of people to celebrate our engagement "
Steve whooped as the rest of the gang clap .. Gail couldn't relax knowing she had upset Holly .
" Holly ? She whispered " I'm sorry I uh.."
Forget it Gail " Holly sighed as she got up making her way to the bar ..
Gail closed her eyes for a second only to open them and be met with Traci staring at her " you ok ? She mouthed ..
Gail shrugged downing Chris' tequila
" yeah ? He moaned
Gail threw him a 20 dollar bill . " shut up "
" hi? I don't think we've met "
Holly looked to her side to be met with a warm smile from the women who was with Wes
" I'm Amy luck , diversion 27 . it's nice to meet you " luck smiled holding her hand out .
Holly shook her hand " Holly .. Stewart ' forensic pathologist
Luck took the stool next to Holly " so how are you settling in? "
Uh" it's good you know .. I'm finding my feet slowly " Holly laughed .
" I was like that too " Amy grinned " but hey if you need a tour guide ? I'll be happy to show you around '
Like that too? Holly frowned
" yeah I'm not from here .. I'm from Vancouver originally. " Luck explained
" oh wow " me too" Holly grinned .
Amy held her hands out " well there you go then . You have the offer of a tour guide with something in common .
Holly nodded with a wide grin .. Do you like base ball ?
Love it ? Amy winked sipping her beer..
Gail watch this new friendship unfold and was not happy.. Firstly? because it was luck . And secondly ? Because she really wanted to explain herself to Holly properly
Did you know that Amy Luck is also a lesbian ? Traci whispered into Gail's ear .
Gail shot her a death stare..
What ? Traci held her hands up " I'm just saying ..
Gail looked back to Holly who by now looked like she was actually enjoying Lucks company ..
Shit " ...
