Cranky was not the word to describe Don Flack right now. Neither was utterly pissed off or aggravated as hell. No, none of these fit how he was feeling right now.
Don went home after he and Mac managed to arrest a 21 year old Jason Rodriguez. After a long grilling and a load of threats later, Jason admitted that he was the one that killed Charles David. Why? To be in the gang. Don had tried to get anything on Ricky and the other guys but could only manage to get an assault charge thrown there way. They'd be out soon but Jason was going away for a while. He hated that he couldn't get the rest of them behind bars but that was the job. Things never went the way you wanted them too.
When he got home though he made sure to turn his cell of and he buried his pager in a pile of cloths in the corner of his room. He did not want to be bothered by anyone for any reason at all. He wasn't on call and he had that day off, so he was sleeping in. But that's not what he got.
At 7am a loud knock came at his door. He ignored it and turned over to go back to sleep but the next four knocks kept him up. After a few more knocks, Don snatched the covers off of his body and stormed though his apartment to his door. He was not a happy camper as he ripped the door open to see who it was that was waking him up on his day off and yell at them mercilessly. But when he saw her standing there, holding up a box of donuts almost in defense, all he could do was smile.
"I come in peace, I swear." Joli smiled and bit her lip, hoping that he wouldn't go off on her. She knew it was his day off and she also knew he had a bad day yesterday but she needed to talk to him, apologize. Though all thought of why she was there nearly vanished when he opened the door. She couldn't stop her heart from beating just a tad bit faster when she saw his disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes. She also couldn't stop the thought of how disappointed she was when he was wearing a shirt this time.
Her heart settled when she saw him smile and push the door open for her to come in. She smiled again and slowly walked past him and into his apartment.
Don asked as he ushered her into the living room. He moved past her to clean off his couch and she laughed a little. She didn't expect to find a clean apartment but she was surprised that he cleaned her off a spot to sit down "I'm a guy." he smirked. Joli nodded and handed him the box of donuts. "This a joke or some kind of peace offering for waking me up on my day off?" he joked.
"Peace offering for waking you up and an apology of some sorts." she told him and sat down next to him. He flipped the box open and pulled out one of the glazed donuts.
"So why the surprise visit and what did you do?" he asked as he bit into the breakfast treat.
"I heard you had a visitor at work yesterday." she stated and Don rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Devon had a shit fit because we had breakfast. Came to the precinct and tried to tear me a new one." he told her and wiped his mouth. "What's that got to do with you and your visit?" Joli sighed and looked down at her hands.
"Part of that is my fault." she told him. Don smirked and set the box down. He moved to look at face her and crossed his arms.
"How's that?" he asked.
"She came to my place before she went to see you. And well, there was a tiny altercation."
"An altercation?" Don asked, not liking the sound of this. Joli nodded and took a deep breath.
"She came by my place and went off on me about seeing you and stuff. Told me that I was an ugly bitch and all other kinds of stuff like how I need to keep my hands to myself. And well, I got a little snippy." Don smirked and looked at her.
"You got snippy? I never thought I'd see that day." he teased. Joli glared at him and continued her story.
"Well, she didn't like it and well, she slapped me." The grin was no longer on Don Flack's face now.
"She what?" Don growled. Now he was pissed off again. Coming to him was one thing but going to Joli and attacking her was another.
"She slapped me but I slapped her back." Joli said quickly, thinking he was going to be mad at her for hitting his girlfriend. Sure she had the thought that he really didn't like Devon that much but the look on his face made her think differently. "You're mad." Joli said stating the obvious.
"Yes, I am." he nodded calmly.
"At me?" she asked softly. "I really didn't mean to hit her, Don. My better judgment slipped away and I just hit her. I'm really sor-" she rushed and Don chuckled, holding his hand up to stop her.
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Devon." he told her. "She hit you first, she came over to your place in the first place then she came to my work. You're no where near being on my shit list right now, Doc." he assured her. Joli let out a breath and nodded, all the while letting a tiny smile cross her face when she heard her newly found nick name.
"Well, I heard that she paid you a visit and I figured I might have provoked her to go there." she told him.
"She would have come there even if she didn't see you. She's like that." Don sighed and rubbed his face. They were silent for a few minutes as they each nibbled on a donut. Then Don broke the silence.
"I'm ending it." he stated. Joli looked over at him and nodded.
"Good." Don chuckled and looked at her.
"No trying to stick up for her like other people do?" he joked. Joli smirked and leaned back on his couch.
"I'm not other people. And no, I'm not going to stick up for her. She hit me and she's a bitch. You can do much better, Don." she told him honestly. Don nodded and picked up another donut.
"Trust me, I know." he mumbled and took a big bite. "You going to work?" he asked after he swallowed.
"Yeah, I'm on nurse duty today though. More to do but less hours." she smiled. "Oh I talked to my boss about that kid and the janitorial job."
"Yeah, what's the verdict?" he asked looking over at her.
"He said he'd give him a try but if he messes up or does anything bad, it's on my back." she told him.
"Then don't." Don told her. "I'm not sure if he's a stand up kid and I'm not going to let him make you look bad." Joli smiled and shook her head.
"No, he needs a job. It's the first step in getting his life back. I'll help him and he'll work my shifts for the most part. It's okay with me, really." she assured him.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, call him and tell him to come in sometime today. I'll be there until five." she smiled.
"Thanks, I'll make sure he knows to behave himself." he smirked. "What time do you have to be at work?" he asked looking at the clock on the other side of the wall.
"9am." she told him and looked at her watch. "But I should be going now. I gotta fill out some paperwork from my last shift." she smiled and stood up. Don stood up after her and followed her to the door. He leaned on the frame as she stepped outside.
"Thanks for breakfast." he smiled.
"But not the wake up." she laughed.
"Nah, the wake up wasn't so bad either." he told her. Joli smiled and nodded.
"Well, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later." Don nodded.
"Sorry about Devon, again. But maybe she won't be a ruckus anymore after today." he told her one last time.
"It's okay. I'll call you later." she smiled and walked off down the hall. Don watched her walk away and then slowly walked back into his apartment. He stopped by the kitchen counter and reached for his phone. He dialed the familiar number and waited for her to pick up.
Hey, it's Devon. Sorry I can't pick up but leave your name and number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Later.
"Devon, its Don. I wanted to see if you were free for lunch, we need to talk. Call me back." he said and hit the end button. He took a deep breath and set the phone back down before walking back to his room.
Joli looked up from her paperwork to see who called her name. She smiled when she saw Lindsey but it faltered when she saw a young girl with her.
"Hey." Joli smiled softly.
"We need a triage room." Lindsey told her and looked back at the girl. "And I may need some help." Joli nodded and walked over to the board for the triage rooms.
"She can go to room 3." Joli told them and walked from behind the desk. The three girls walked down the hallway and Joli pushed the door to room 3 open for the girl. "Take a seat in here for a minute. We'll be right in." The girl walked into the room and took a seat on the bed. Joli closed the door and looked at Lindsey.
"She was found at a scene this morning. Her boyfriend was murdered and she said she was raped by the attacker. She's eighteen and Mac is calling her mother now." Lindsey explained, knowing what Joli wanted to ask.
"Why would you need help?" Joli asked.
"She's scared. I need to do a rape kit and even when it was me talking to her, she was really nervous. I figured one of us could do the rape kit and the other could calm her down." Joli nodded and looked passed Lindsey to see an older man walking down the hall.
"Lindsey." he called and she turned around. "Angell found the girl's mother and is bringing her down as we speak. She only told her about the boy but not the rape. Figured we'd wait until we found out if she was and then tell her."
"I'm about to go in now." Lindsey told him then pointed to Joli. "Mac this is Joli Hammberback, Sid's daughter. Joli this is Mac Taylor, my boss." Mac smiled and held his hand out for Joli.
"Joli, it's very nice to meet you. I've heard great things about you." Mac told her. Joli smiled and shook his hand.
"Same here. I've been waiting to meet you." Mac nodded and looked between her and Lindsey.
"Well, it was nice to finally meet you but we might want to go ahead and get an answer before the girl's mother gets here." Mac told them. Joli nodded and pushed the door open so she and Lindsey could step inside. Joli smiled weakly at the young girl as she sat on the table.
"Hannah this is Dr. Joli Hammerback, she's going to help me with your exam." Lindsey told her softly. Hannah looked around nervously and nodded slowly.
"Hannah, I'm going to need you to remove your clothes and get into this gown for me. We'll need you to remove one article at a time and hand them to Detective Monroe so she can bag them." Joli told her softly and her heart ached when the tears fell down Hannah's cheek. This was why she hated her job.
"It's okay to be scared and nervous but we need to do this exam so we can confirm that you were raped and if you were hopefully there's evidence so we can catch the guy that did this." Lindsey spoke up as she put gloves on.
"I told you I was raped, don't you believe me?" Hannah croaked. Joli pulled up a chair and sat in front of the table.
"We do but we need to have proof and document it." she told her. "I know you're scared-" Hanna let out a sob and shook her head.
"Don't say that." Joli looked at Lindsey quickly and reached out to grab Hannah's hand.
"I'm not lying. I know how feel." she told her gently. Lindsey eyes moved from the young girl to her new friend and stared at her, as did Hannah. "I was attacked one night in high school. I was leaving a football game and a man grabbed me and pulled me under the bleachers. He didn't rape me but he caused year's worth of nightmares."
"Did they find him?" Hannah whispered.
"I went to the hospital and I let them take what they needed. I scratched him and they got his DNA from under my nails. I might not have been attacked like you but I do understand the feeling of having your space intruded on and not feeling safe anymore. The only closure and relief I got was when I saw him being put into the back of the police car." Joli told her. Lindsey walked over and laid a hand on Hannah's shoulder.
"It won't take long but it's for the best." Lindsey told her. Hannah nodded and scooted off the table. Joli gathered the things to do the kit as Hannah stripped her clothes off and handed them to Lindsey.
She almost couldn't take the look of pain and sadness on the girls face as Lindsey snapped pictures and documented every last scratch and bruise on her body and then took each finger to try and get any kind of evidence from under her nails. Joli could remember having someone do that to her just over five years ago. Just the feeling of someone having to brush her hair for something, anything to find the man that attacked her was enough to make her sick to her stomach. The feeling of knowing that he could have raped her or maybe killed her, it was unreal. It was something she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy.
"Okay, Hannah I need you to lay back and bend your knees for me." Lindsey whispered to the girl. Hannah whimpered as she laid back and as Lindsey drew up the bottom of her gown. Joli walked over with the tray and handed it to Lindsey. Then she walked over to Hannah and grabbed her hand.
"Just hold me hand, squeeze if you want to." Joli whispered to her.
Lindsey never had been so overwhelmed while doing at rape kit. The information she heard before the exam had sent her emotions into overdrive. Hearing what had happened to Joli and then hearing how well she talked to Hannah, Lindsey had a whole new respect for Joli. Going through something like that and being able to talk about it and now being able to help someone else, it was brave.
She now understood why people looked at her differently after the trail. She assumed she was getting sympathy looks but now she realized it wasn't. The looks were of admiration. They looked at her that way because she had stood up tot he man that had killed her best friends and she had ultimately sent him to prison. She was scared shitless but they didn't see it that way. They saw it was courage and bravery. That's how she looked at Joli now. She knew it was hard to admit that to people she barely knew but that took courage.
The two women stepped out of the triage room and Joli fiddled with her fingers before taking a deep breath and looking at Lindsey.
"Listen I," Lindsey held her hand up and shook her head.
"You don't have to talk about it. I know you had to pull that out of nowhere to help her and I know it had to have been tough, but you do not need to fill me in more if you don't want to. I know we are friends but we still barely know one another. It's not going to hurt me or offend me." Lindsey told her.
"I will, eventually. It's not something I want to bring up at work though." Joli told her softly. Lindsey smiled and laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Still, not before you're ready." Lindsey smiled warmly. "We all have past's. Some are just more tragic than others." Joli smiled and let out a breath before taking another deep one.
"Thanks. But um, one more thing." Lindsey looked up from her kit and at Joli again.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"I know you won't say anything but just so you know." Joli said and looked around. "My father doesn't know. I never had the heart to tell him."
"My lips are sealed." Lindsey nodded and closed her kit.
"Thank you. You leaving?" Joli asked.
"Yeah, tell Mac I'm going to the lab to get a head start." she nodded and walked out the room. "I'll call you later so we can set up an ice cream and Kleenex date." Joli sighed and watched her leave. When Lindsey was out of sight she walked back down to the nurse's station to find Mac.
Mac was sitting in the most uncomfortable chair in the nurse's station as he waited for Lindsey and Joli to come back with the results of the rape exam. He briefly wondered why they didn't have more cushioned chairs if they were all about calming people down. He heard footsteps from the hall and he looked over to see Joli walking over to him.
"Everything go okay?" he asked standing up.
"Yeah, it took a few minutes to calm her down but she complied." Joli nodded. Mac nodded with her and crossed his arms.
"So what's the result?" Joli sighed and looked down at the folder she had.
"No doubt that she was raped. She has bruises consistent with being attacked and forced. On the insides of her legs and upper arms. Plus, we're hoping for some fluids. She admitted to having sex with her boyfriend but said the attacker didn't use a condom." Mac nodded and looked down the hall again.
"Lindsey leave already?" he asked.
"Yes, said she wanted to get a head start." Joli told him.
"Well, thanks for helping. I hope it wasn't a problem." Mac smiled and Joli shook her head.
"Oh no, we're not that busy and I was on nurse duties today anyways." she chuckled. Mac was about to open his mouth to say something else but a head full of dark hair caught his eye and he looked passed Joli again to see Det. Angell walking over to him.
"Hey, Mac. Mother's in the waiting room." Angell told him and briefly looked over at Joli. "She's riled up too." Mac sighed and looked at her.
"Good way or bad?" he asked. Angell smirked and tilted her head.
"Not so good, how bout that?" she asked. Mac sighed and nodded his head.
"I get it." he told her and pointed to Joli next to him. "Angell this is Dr. Joli Hammerback. Joli this is Detective Jessica Angell. She's Flack's semi partner." he smirked. Angell's eye's lit up and she smiled widely at Joli as she stuck her hand out.
"Nice to meet you." Joli smiled and shook her hand.
"Ah so you're the one that's god his panties all in a wad." Angell smiled. "What is it he calls you? Doc?" she asked. Joli turned a light shade of pink and nodded.
"Unfortunately." she laughed nervously. Mac and Angell shared a smile and Angell smiled one more time.
"Well, it was nice to meet you too. Hope to see you around. And beware of the mother." she called as she walked down the hall.
"I'm going to talk to the mother. Thanks again for helping." Mac said laying a hand on Joli's shoulder before walking to the waiting room.
Mac walked down the hallway and turned into the waiting room. He spotted a semi older woman pacing the floors and looking very aggravated. When she spotted him she walked over and he nodded to her.
"Mrs. Campbell, I'm Detective Mac Taylor." he greeted softly. "I'm sure Det. Angell has informed you on some inform-"
"Where's Hannah? I want to see her." she cut in. Mac was surprised at the tone in her voice. It wasn't one of concern or pain; it was one of anger and spite. He made sure to keep his cool and looked at her.
"Hannah is being treated. Right now I'm going to need you to answer a few questions for me." he told her.
"Like what? I can't tell you anything. Talk to her." she told him firmly and crossed her arms.
"Hannah is in shock. She's been through a lot tonight, so I'd rather get simple questions answered by you instead of her right now." Mac informed her. Mrs. Campbell rolled her eyes and looked around the room.
"I just want to see her." she told him again.
"I don't think that's such a good idea." he told her.
"I don't care what you think." she snapped. Mac felt his anger rising and crossed his arms.
"You're not at your calmest and she does not need you to go in there-"
"What are you a doctor too?" she spat and glared at him. Just as he was about to say something else he looked over to see Joli standing next to him.
"Excuse me. Ma'am, I'm Dr. Hammerback." Joli greeted the mother and held her had out. "I examined your daughter and I must say I agree with Det. Taylor. She's in shock and the last thing she needs in for someone to go in there and upset her. It's best for you to calm down first." Mac let her take over to give himself time to clam down and looked at the mother.
"And if I don't?" Mrs. Campbell smirked menacingly. Joli smirked back and Mac waited to see what Joli would say. He had only heard of her attitude and mouth but he had never witnessed it.
"Then you won't see her and if you try to disobey me and my orders, I'll have you removed from the premises by that big burly security guard over there or by this lovely Detective next to me." Joli told her trying to keep her attitude in check. Sure the lady was getting sassy with her but she was at work and she still had to remain professional.
"So what's it going to be?" Mac asked smugly. Mrs. Campbell glared at both of the them and sighed.
"What happened?" she mumbled. Mac nodded a thank you to Joli and looked back at the mother.
"Hannah was attacked as was her boyfriend. Unfortunately, he did not make it. There's evidence your daughter was raped and if we can get-" Mac told her but was cut off yet again.
"She's lying but don't it personally, Doc." the mother laughed and nodded to Joli. Mac and Joli exchanged looks and Joli stepped back up.
"Excuse me?" she asked.
"She's an attention whore, a plain whore at that. I wouldn't doubt if she killed that boy herself. I wouldn't waste another minute on her if I were you." the mother told them both. Mac saw Joli's jaw clench and then bow her head slightly.
"Well luckily, we're not you and I do take it personally. I did the exam myself and I've seen plenty of rape cases, your daughter was raped tonight and luckily she wasn't killed." Joli told her firmly.
"Lucky my ass." she scoffed. "Are we done? Can I see her now? I really need to get going." Mac decided it was time to end this confrontation and reached into his pocket and pulled out a card.
"For now but don't go too far." he told her and held the card out.
"Yeah, can I see her now?" she asked while taking the card from him. Mac looked over at Joli and she smiled.
"Sorry, you can't." Joli told the mother. Her face dropped and she looked between Mac and Joli.
"Why not?" she asked. Joli pointed to the sign behind the woman and smiled.
"Visiting hours are over." The mother shook her head and glared at them one last time before stalking off. Joli watched her go and Mac chuckled.
"Nice work." he told her.
"Thank you. I try." Joli smiled and looked over at him.
"From what I've heard you don't need to try." he smirked.
"And what have you heard and from whom?" she asked. Mac looked down at his watch and back at her.
"Why don't we grab a cup of coffee? I got a few minutes before I have to head back."
"You going to answer my question?" Joli asked as they sat down at a tiny table outside the hospital. Mac sat across from her and pulled the lid off his cup to empty a couple packets of sugar in it.
"I've heard you have quite the spunky attitude." Mac stated and looked over at her. She sipped her coffee carefully and casually but Mac could see the smile over the cup.
"Spunky? That's a new one." Joli remarked and set her cup down.
"What is it usually?" he asked. She bit her lip and thought for a moment.
"Bitchy, crazy, sassy, dramatic, etc." she smiled at him. "A few worse came from your other homicide detective's mouth."
"I wouldn't doubt it." Mac nodded. "He's got an attitude too. But you already know that."
"Yes, I do." she laughed. "We're quite the scene when we are in bad moods."
"So I've heard." he chuckled. "But I've also heard things have smoothed out?" Joli smiled and nodded a little.
"Yeah, pretty much. We don't yell or scream profanities every time we see one another but never say never, right?" she joked.
"Yes, never say never." he agreed. "So what's going on there?" he asked and chuckled when she blushed again. It didn't take a scientist to know she was interested in Don Flack but she thought different apparently.
"We're friends. That's all." she told him, hoping she really wasn't blushing. "It won't go beyond that. I've managed to break him and his girlfriend up by accident. I'd hate to see what would happened if I was the girlfriend. He's a really nice guy though." she added.
"That is he. A great cop too." he said and sipped his coffee. "So how do you like the Big Apple?" he asked, changing the subject so she would relax again.
"Ah the city that never sleep and I are two peas in a pod as of now. It's treating me well." she smiled brightly.
"That's good. But you've already got a leg up." he declared.
"Really? How's that?" she asked raising a brow.
"Well, you've got a homicide detective smitten with you, a best friend who's a CSI, and a father who's the medical examiner. If you ever get into trouble, you're covered." he smiled.
"I guess so, huh?" she laughed. They were silent for a moment, both looking around at the busy city streets until Mac spoke up again.
"Sid has said amazing things about you." Mac told her. Joli smiled and looked over at him.
"Really? And here I was thinking he never talked about us." she teased.
"Well, it's rare but he does. It's hard for him. Well, it was before you moved back." Mac admitted. Joli smiled down at her coffee and nodded.
"He might seem socially awkward and work with dead people but he's got a heart and feelings." she told him. "He's far from the cold man my mother makes him out to be." Joli sighed.
"He's a great man. A smart man." Mac nodded.
"And that's why I love him." she smiled and looked back up at him.
"I'm glad you didn't give up on him over the years. He was always afraid of that, ya know? That your mother would turn you against him." Mac told but Joli didn't know that. She felt the emotion tighten in her chest and she looked away.
"I'd never do that." she promised. "He's always been my knight in shining armor and always will be." she whispered.
"Don't let that change." he told her as he reached down to silence his ringing phone. "Well, it was nice talking to you but duty calls."
"Yeah, I know that ring already." she laughed and stood up with him.
"Flack?" he asked.
"Yeah." she mumbled. Mac smirked again and threw his cup away.
"On that note, take your own advice." he told her as he walked off.
"What's that?" she called out, wondering what he was talking about.
"Never say never."
Don was sitting at the tiny table outside of the Starbuck's that Devon wanted to meet at. She had called him back not five minutes after he finally fell back asleep and told him to meet her around noon. Now he was here, and had been for twenty minutes, but she was not. He called her twice already but no on picked up. He hated that she was always later but her excuse was always the same.
"At least I'm fashionably late."
He sighed and was about to leave when he spotted her walking down the street. She was on a white dress with red high heels and she was carrying about 5 bags from various New York stores. She smiled and set her bags down as she got to the table. She stood up waiting for him to greet her and she frowned when he pointed to the empty seat.
"You're cranky." she stated.
"You woke me up after I fell asleep." he also stated. Devon glared at him for a minute but stopped and reached over to grab his hands.
"Well, I'm glad you called to invite me here. I need to talk to you too." she smiled. Don raised a brow and nodded.
"Well, go ahead." he told her, knowing that this was probably the last thing she was going to get to say to him before he made her cry.
"I've been thinking, Donnie. We've been together for a while, we're happy." she smiled and Don mentally choked himself. "I know it's been stressful with that hideous creature next door, who-"
"Cut the shit, Devon. Get to it." Don warned.
"Anyways, I've been thinking a lot about this and my girlfriends think its perfect." she gushed. Don rolled his eyes and motioned for her to continue. "I think we're ready for the next level." she exclaimed. Don fought really hard not to laugh and when a tiny scoff came from his throat, he covered it with a cough. She frowned again when he didn't say anything.
"You don't seem excited." she stated.
"Really?" Don asked sarcastically. "Devon, why would we take the next step?"
"Because we're happy." she pouted. This time he couldn't help it, he laughed.
"I'm miserable and you're delusional. That's what we are." he told her honestly.
"Then what did you ask me to come here for?" she asked crossing her arms.
"I didn't come here to talk." he told her and she got even more confused. "And I certainly didn't come here to take our relationship to the next level."
"Then what?" she asked.
"I came here to break up with you." he smirked. Devon's face dropped and turned a bright shade of red.
"No." she hissed.
"Yes. I'm done. You're driving me insane and I don't appreciate you hitting me friends." he added.
"She's a slut." Devon declared.
"But she's ugly?" Don asked and stood up. "Listen, it was nice while it lasted but I gotta go." he told her. Devon watched in shock as he walked off with a huge grin on his face, content now that he had finally done what he had wanted to do for a long time. And that was thanks to one woman.
