"It's official. On this beautiful June 15th day, I'd like to congratulate the new CPD class." Everyone in the room erupted in cheers and applauses as all the former rookies stood at the front. They all we're officially sworn in police officers and no longer rookies. Gabriella looked down the line smiling at her friends. Jason, Zeke, and Taylor smiled looking down the line as well as they all were spread out. "Alright cops, go be with your families." Everyone filed out creating a big crowd. Gabriella took her hat off, pulled her hair out of the pony tail and walked around looking for her family and boyfriend.
"Gabriella!" She heard a sweet voice call. She turned around and saw her handsome man in his dress clothes, the detectives vest and his badge. She ran up to him screaming with excitement as he caught her embrace. "Babe you did it." He said excited kissing her hair as she looked straight ahead giggling and seeing both of their families. Her dad was dressed in his blues next to her mother who walked up with flowers, his parents and grandpa. Troy let her down, kissing her as she kissed back.
"El, let's take a picture of you both." Lucielle said excited at the two. They posed in their uniforms looking handsome. She knew that was going to be her favorite picture. She walked up to everyone, giving them hugs and kisses. She thank you'd their congratulations and waved over Taylor and her mother.
"Breakfast?" She asked Taylor and she smiled at her.
"Of course. Tradition." Taylor replied cockily hugging Gabriella. Taylor pulled back. "We fucking did it." She said proud as Gabriella nodded.
"Your dad is smiling at you." Gabriella reaffirmed as Taylor nodded proudly.
"He is." She replied putting her arm around her as they all began to walk out and go to breakfast next to headquarters. According to tradition of CPD families, the restaurant next door was made for police officers and for sworn in days only. They got a large table, sat down and exchanged congrats together.
"So how does it feel to not be a rookie anymore?" Jack asked them as they all sat down, having coffee first.
"Feels great to not have that title attached to our name." Gabriella joked and Taylor nodded.
"I agree with that. No more talking down to us." She replied as Troy nodded.
"You two will forever be rookies in my eyes." He joked and Gabriella hit him.
"I actually agree." Her father supplemented when he looked over at Troy proud. "How's your case going?" He asked interested as Troy and her dad would hang around sometimes at his precinct. Her father's office was at the same precinct where Lee Filmore was stationed so Commander Montez would take him out to lunch this past week.
"We're pretty much close to getting where we need to be to set up." He said as her dad looked at him so proud. "Just need some sort of leverage to get the guy." He said sipping his coffee.
"We're so excited for you." Lucielle said as Jack nodded.
"I never had anything so exciting when I was in that unit. Drug busts were a piece of cake back in the day." Jack said as Roberto laughed.
"Those we're the days Bolton." He replied. Gabriella found out that Jack worked briefly with her dad when he was in the gang unit. She just smiled seeing all of her families blended, her father approving of her boyfriend, and Taylor actually laughing and smiling for once. Their breakfast came, everyone got loving notes on their napkins from the chef. Everything was going right and she couldn't contain her excitement. Troy leaned over to her as she was drinking her coffee, looking at the opposite end.
"I booked a few appointments for apartment hunting tonight." Troy said as she smirked facing him.
"I can't wait. Where did you book?" She wondered as he shrugged.
"You'll just have to see." He said winking at her. She internally screamed, looking at her lover with passion.
"10-10 we need all personnel at Franklin Park. 10-39, 10-39." Gabriella and Taylor's radio broke.
"10-20 we need detectives on scene at Franklin Park." Troy's and Roberto's radio broke.
"What's the situation?" Roberto replied on his talkie as dispatch replied immediately.
"Public execution in day light at the park." The dispatcher replied. They all nodded around the table.
"We will wrap up everything around here. You guys all go." Maria said as Taylor's mom nodded at them. Everyone got up, said their goodbyes and left.
"Bolton, with me." Roberto said as they all split up. He nodded joining her father as the girls went back to their squad assignments. Roberto started up the car and hit the lights immediately speeding off. "Well that was a nice breakfast while it lasted." He said laughing.
"I agree." Troy said smiling looking out the window. "Can I ask you a question?" Troy wondered as he nodded. "I um…I'm wondering if I can take your daughter's hand in marriage?" He asked as he watched the man's smile turn into a huge grin.
"I would be honored to have you marry Gabriella." He said smiling as they drove to the scene. "I always wanted her to marry a man like you, and now that she found you-I frankly will not let you go." Troy chuckled.
"Thanks sir." He said relieved that he got her father's blessing.
"You can call me Dad soon enough." He replied smirking. "When are you planning on doing it?" He asked as they turned on Main street seeing a lot of officers on their way.
"As soon as I get this little Rob Martinez prick behind bars." Troy sighed. "That way we can celebrate both of our promotions." He nodded.
"I support that one hundred percent. I'm proud to call you my son-in-law." He said looking over to Troy giving him a huge smile. Troy just laughed thinking about how Gabriella never wanted her dad to find out about them because she was worried about him the most. Now he was the most supportive and a great ally to have in the field. They pulled up to the scene at the little park seeing police tape up and a crowd of distraught people. The two exited the car, walking up surveying the scene.
"What's the age?" Roberto asked as a young officer pulled out his note pad.
"DOA with a bullet through the head. Kid has to be about five or six." They lifted the sheet revealing a little boy. Troy's stomach flipped seeing a young child dead like this on the streets. Chief looked away, looking around the area. Roberto looked away just as Chief did.
"Bolton is this a specific gang territory?" He asked as the officer shrugged and Troy looked around.
"It's definitely unchartered territory, but this space is turf up for grabs…this seems gang related to do this disgusting thing to a child." He said seeing more officers assist with crowd control. He noticed Gabriella doing interviews, her visibly upset. Troy looked around and saw the G-lord's gang sign on a garage door. He walked up to it, pulling his gloves on and wiping the residue. It was still drying meaning this was a hit. He stood up slowly, feeling like now was the time to get that fucker Martinez behind bars.
"What do you have over there Bolton?" He heard Filmore walking up. He turned around revealing the gang sign.
"It's go time Lee." He said as Lee looked at the gang sign and then back to the child covered in tarp. He nodded slowly, rage burning in his eyes. Troy looked away disgusted as they began to go over account witnesses and prepare for the battle that was going to go down tonight.
"Did you see anything unsual?" Gabriella asked as the kids shook their head.
"We we're just playing in the backyard waiting for the bus when we heard a gun shot and tires screeching. Happens all the time…just not in sun light." One boy said. Gabriella nodded, writing this down.
"I did see a white jeep though…no one can afford that shit around here." Another boy mentioned as she nodded again writing it up. She turned around seeing Troy walk up to her.
"Hey are you okay?" He asked as she shook her head.
"It's awful…I never want to see anything like that again." She said shuddering. He nodded, pulling his note pad out.
"I know…I know. Did you get anything?" She nodded, flipping through her notes.
"Most people didn't hear anything until they heard a single gun shot and tires screeching. These boys told me they saw a white jeep and that's unusual for their neighborhood." Troy nodded writing this down.
"I think it's Martinez…we're going to move in on him tonight." He said quietly as her eyes went wide.
"Tonight?" She asked him worried as he nodded looking around. "Isn't it too soon?" She wondered as he shook his head.
"This was the piece we needed to get him behind bars." He said confidently as her eyes still searched his. "I got this…" He said knowing the plan was to go undercover and grab him. Gabriella nodded slowly. "I'll see you at the office before I go off." He said seriously as he walked away. Gabriella stood there, watching her love walk away. The intensity in his eyes were prevelant , but the fear in her stomach got her. Today was supposed to be an amazing day and now it was slowly turning to a bad one. She looked back at the tarp and sighed, looking around for what to do.
When it was night time at the office now and she was done with her first shift as a regular officer. She sat, frowning in Chief's office along with a few officers getting intel on the bust for tonight. Taylor walked up getting a coffee for her as her nerves were rattled. Gabriella got a text that pulled her from her thoughts.
'Meet me in the garage.'
She flew off the desk and sprinted to the garage looking around for her boyfriend. She collided into him seeing him ready to go. She instantly gave him a hug and a big kiss.
"Why aren't you in tactical gear?" She wondered as he sighed.
"I'm going in without anything…I have a plan." He said as she looked at him disgusted.
"You need to have something on." She said as he nodded pulling a bit of his shirt revealing a vest. She nodded hugging him as he held her tight, running his hands through his hair.
"I love you baby." He said as she let go, looking up to him.
"I love you so much more." She said as he kissed her.
"I have to go." He said ready. "I'll pick you up when I get back." He said as she nodded, watching him walk off.
Rob sat in his vehicle, starting the engine putting the car in reverse when he saw Troy sitting in his car.
"Aye man what the fuck." He said reaching for his gun when Troy had his gun already up to his head.
"Drive to your headquarters." He growled as Roberto agreed.
"Who the fuck are you?" He asked as Troy cocked the gun.
"I'm the only one asking questions." He replied cold as the man nodded. "I want my fucking drugs. I got shafted by one of your guys and I'm not afraid to kill you too." He said making up a fake story. He could tell he was nervous now.
"Man all this because of one of my guys? Who the fuck-" Troy pressed the gun up against his neck, pointing up to his head.
"Do you know you can't survive a gunshot wound to the head like this?" He asked feeling the guys temperature spike low. He moved the gun to the middle of his head. "But you could possibly survive this. So spare me the small talk and drive me to your headquarters so I could get my shit." He nodded, keeping his mouth shut and driving to the location where Troy was all familiar with. Troy had many cops stationed there waiting, and when they would arrive they would arrest him and twenty other guys that we're in that warehouse. When they pulled up Troy scoffed. "This better be legit." Troy said annoyed as the man nodded. Troy smirked because they we're exactly where they we're supposed to be. He got out of the car slowly, gun still against his head when the lights all went on. Troy quickly spun him to lay him on the floor and cuff him. Many cops flew out of their locations invading the warehouse and taking him into custody.
It was over for Rob Martinez and just the beginning for Troy Bolton.
Troy walked into Molly's with huge cheers erupting and the crowd going wild. He shook hands, gave hugs and was given a few shots. He walked up seeing Gabriella approach him with a huge smile. She ran up to him just as she did in the morning but this time placing a huge kiss on him as he held her up, her legs wrapped around his waist. Everyone in the room cat called but they didn't care. They both we're unstoppable and powerful.
"I love you." She replied kissing him hard.
"I love you more." He said putting her down and holding her hand as they walked to the bar. Chad and Taylor we're sitting at a table talking as Troy wrapped his arm around her kissing her neck. "I can't wait for you to see what I have in store for tonight." He said with a huge grin and she pressed her lower back into his groin.
"Same here." She said huskily as he just dipped his head kissing her shoulder. They ordered drinks and walked over to Taylor and Chad when Taylor threw a drink in his face. She grabbed her purse and threw it over her shoulder as Chad was dripping.
"Whoa whoa whoa, what's going on here." Troy asked cautiously as Taylor was fuming.
"He's a fucking pig." She stormed out as Gabriella attempted to chase her as Troy stayed with Chad.
"What happened Chad?" He asked confused with the whole encounter as Chad tried drying himself off.
"Taylor made a move on me…I told her that I wasn't interested in her like that and that I'm engaged to Emmy…We we're getting a little close and I acknowledge I was flirting with her but-"
"That's your first mistake Chad…" Troy said painfully as Chad groaned dropping his head.
"I know." He said. "I know." He repeated in regret. Troy saw Gabriella walk back shrugging.
"She flicked me off and said she would call me tomorrow." Gabriella said looking at her boyfriend. "Did you want to celebrate elsewhere?" She asked winking as Chad objected.
"Can I have my boyfriend for a little?" Chad whined as Troy laughed looking at Gabriella roll her eyes playfully.
"We can stay here for a little bit more." Troy said as Gabriella nodded, drinking her drink with Troy having his arms wrapped around her.
The two we're out of breath, on their backs and full of passion. Troy looked over at her radiating in post orgasmic bliss when he opened his mouth only to shut it. Gabriella turned to face him dreamily.
"I've said it a million times before but I truly am really happy." She said as he nodded, looking at her close her eyes slowly with a beautiful soft grin plastered on her face.
"Gabriella…" He said knowing it was time. She nodded opening her eyes slowly. "Will you marry me?" He asked as she looked at him, her eyes slowly growing wide.
"What?" She asked as he tried to reach over to grab the ring but she stopped him. "Wait…I-" She was lost for words. He looked at her concerned that she was going to say no but she put a lip to his finger. "Yes, I will marry you…but can you propose to me on a knee instead of post sex?" She wondered as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Of fucking course." He said attacking her lips as she squealed kissing him furiously. She instantly regretted it.
"Wait…Troy." She asked feeling his lips press against her neck. "I take that back. Yes I will marry you..." She said looking in his eyes.
"You want to see the ring don't you?" He asked as she nodded giggling. He reached over laughing and grabbed the box, opening it for her to see a beautiful band and stone. He slipped it on her hand and she almost cried seeing her left hand occupied by a ring that symbolized something powerful. He kissed her deeply as she kissed back, ruffling her hands through his hair. She pulled her hands away seeing the ring front and center making her heart swoon.
"I love you so much." She said as he nodded kissing her.
"I love you more." He said smirking down at her. "Ready for round 3?" He asked as she nodded.
"Duh." She replied as his lips attached to hers.
Sorry for lack of updates!
