Haha...so I am pretty certain that no one is going to like Jenni.
She's sort of harmless...'sort of' being the key words.

Chapter Fourteen :
"So, are you a Doctor or a Nurse?" Joey asked as she and Jenni entered the hospital grounds.
"Actually, I'm a paramedic." Jenni smiled at Joey. "I'm the new Ambo in town"
"Aw wow" Joey grinned "Good luck with that. My friend used to work as an Ambo until she got a transfer to the city"
"A friend or a girlfriend?"
"A friend. She's straight. Married with a kid now" Joey smiled.
"You've got a beautiful smile Joey"
"Thanks" Joey said blushing.
"Look, I know we only just met, but I don't suppose you want to do something for lunch today?"
"Uhm, wow, yeah sure"
"Brilliant!" Jenni looked at her watch "It's now 9 am, how about we meet here around 11:30; you mentioned you were here to see a friend, is that enough time?"
"Yeah that's plenty of time" Joey smiled. "We can meet here and then go down to the diner?"
"I have no idea what the diner is, but as long as it serves yummy food, I'm there!"

"What the hell is going on between you two?" McGrath asked as the two girls stepped inside his office.
"Nothing sir" Watson replied.
"Don't tell me nothing girl, it was obviously something for you two to be causing such a scene at work" McGrath raised his voice. "Senior?"
Charlie swallowed hard.
"I'm sorry sir; we were letting our personal life get in the way of our work. It won't happen again"
"It better not, because if it does, you'll both be suspended" McGrath said sitting down on his chair.
"You can't suspend us over that!" Watson said.
"Can't I? Do it again and see what I can and can't do Constable" McGrath paused. "Watson, you can go back to work, I need to speak to Senior Constable Buckton"
Watson nodded and left the room.
"Take a seat Charlie"
Charlie nodded and sat down on the seat in front of her Sergeants' desk.
"What's this about Darren?"
"Look, this might just be a rumour, but I've heard you've got the young girl who was involved with the Robert Cruise case, living at your house"
---
"Heyy Ade" Joey said as she sat down on the chair next to Aden's bed.
"Hey, how are you?" Aden asked.
"Strangely, I'm okay" Joey smiled. "How are you?"
"Yeah, not too bad hey. Sore noggin though" Aden slightly laughed. "Sorry to hear about your brother, Jo"
"Thanks" Joey smiled. "He's gone now. He can no longer hurt me."
Aden slowly nodded, understanding where Joey was coming from.
"Apparently Charlie and Paige broke up?"
Joey looked at Aden and nodded.
"Yeah, we were on our way out of here yesterday evening, and we saw Paige and Watson kissing in the corridor"
"Poor Charlie" Aden paused "It's good that you're okay though"
"Yeah, I sort of just met someone" Joey slightly paused. "But I'm probably reading too much in to it"
"Just met someone? Just now? What's her name?" Aden questioned as he smiled.
"Her name is Jenni, she's the new ambo here" Joey smiled.
"She cute?"
"She's gorgeous!" Joey grinned.
---
"It's, err, not a rumour Darren"
"It's not?" McGrath asked, watching as Charlie shook her head 'no'. "Charlie, you can't have someone who is tied to a case living with you"
"She's a friend"
"When did you meet her?"
Charlie looked down.
"Let me guess, when the case started?" McGrath asked, watching yet again as Charlie nodded. "Charlie..."
"I know, but she's becoming a good friend, I'm not kicking her out."
Now it was Charlie's turn to watch as McGrath nodded.
"What does Paige think of this?" McGrath asked.
Charlie bit the inside of her mouth.
"Paige and I are no longer together. We broke up last night, She's now with Watson" Charlie let the last bit slip.
"Oh? And that's why you and Georgina were fighting?"
"Pretty much, yes"
"Are you going to be able to continue working with her?"
"As long as she keeps out of my way for the next week, I'll be fine"
"I'll change the rosters and make sure the two of you aren't on and duties together" McGrath smiled.
---
11:30 had come around quick. Joey and Aden had spent the few hours talking about everything and anything, they were becoming really good friends, they had 100% trust for each other, which Joey felt was weird, all her life she had found it hard to trust anyone, but over the last week, she had found herself completely trusting both Aden and Charlie. Joey said her goodbyes to Aden and went to wait for Jenni out the front of the hospital, smiling to herself as she exited the hospital to see Jenni sat on a bench waiting for her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Joey said as she approached Jenni.
"That's fine, I wasn't waiting for long." Jenni smiled and stood up. "How is your friend?"
"He's good, He get's to come home tomorrow, so that will be good" Joey grinned and the two made their way to The Diner.
---
"Is it alright if I go get the lunches now?" Charlie asked McGrath.
"Yeah that'll be fine Senior" McGrath smiled at Charlie.
Charlie left the station and headed to the diner to pick up the stations lunches.
---
"You look older than 21!" Joey said to Jenni. "Oh please don't get offended by that!"
Jenni laughed.
"That's fine, I get told all the time."
"Phew!" Joey said laughing.
"I can't believe you're single Joey, you're incredibly gorgeous. Is there anyone you're in to?"
"Maybe" Joey blushed and took a sip of her milkshake.
---
Charlie pulled up out side the Diner. She saw Belle walking out of The Diner; she quickly got out the car and called out to her.
"Oh hi Charlie" Belle said stopping as she heard Charlie calling out to her.
"Hey, how's Aden?" Charlie asked.
"He's doing much better thanks. Paige says he'll get released tomorrow" Belle grinned.
"That's good to hear" Charlie smiled.
"Yeah...I heard about what happened." Belle paused. "I'm sorry to hear that Charlie"
"Thanks Belle." Charlie said licking her lips. "Say hello to Aden for me, when he gets out of hospital the two of you will have to come around one night for a meal" Charlie smiled.
"Yeah sure, that sounds great! I'll catch you later Charlie" Belle said before walking off.
Charlie smiled and entered the diner. Looking around she saw the usual things, Leah, Colleen and Irene rushed off their feet, School kids on their lunch break hanging around on the computers. Hearing laughter, Charlie looked to the corner of The Diner and saw Joey and Jenni laughing loudly, Jenni had her hand on Joey's arm and this sent waves of jealousy through Charlie's body.
