Hi! I just started watching "Bull" and am now all caught up with the show. I love it! But I am devastated that Cable is no longer part of the show (traumatically!). So now, I will try to remedy that with writing my own version of events! And how better to start that than to come up with my own version of how she joined TAC?!
This is a new show for me to be writing so I don't know if anyone will be reading, but if you are out there, ENJOY!

Cable leaned back into the couch which reeked from cigarette smoke and marijuana. She took another swig from her beer. She was already drunk - how much worse could it get? After all, there was no one to care if she was in class tomorrow.
"Live it up, girl!" her friend of two hours shouted over the pounding music.
"Yeah!" Cable shouted back. What was the girl's name? Maybe ... to be honest, she had no clue. It did not matter anyway. She was likely never going to see this girl again after this semester. It was halfway through already. Party animals did not need to know each other to have fun. Cable would probably see these people a few more times at a few more parties, then she would be forgotten forever in this area as she moved on to another college with low rates with teachers who would not immediately hate her. She had been making enemies of teachers for the last two years - just scraping by with grades, having an attitude bigger than Texas, never having assignments completed on time, being fifteen minutes late to every class.
She saw others shooting up. Looking around, she realized that drugs were everywhere.
When did that start?
There never used to be drugs at the parties that she had attended. She had been turned off of using them as she teen when a friend of hers died from an overdose. Her mom had made her promise that she would never use drugs - it had been an unnecessary action. She had hated the look of syringes or unmarked bags of pills.
But now? How did she end up here?
Her drunken mind latched on to the thought of her mother. She mouth screwed up angrily.
What right did she have ... to make me give her ... promises?! She was lying ... to me the whole time!
Cable grabbed another can of beer, popped it open, and chugged down half of the contents before gasping for breath.
"You know ... what she did?" Cable grumbled to a greasy guy who had plopped down next to her in a drunken stupor. "She ... never told me .. anything! That guy she married ... when I was four - the one I thought was my dad all these years - he ... he wasn't!"
"Agh," the guy next to her groaned.
"And ... AND! ... they never told me! NEVER! I took ... a DNA swab ... weird word..."
"Sure is!" someone commented gleefully, pushing past on their way for a refill.
"Thanks," Cable muttered. She took another fortifying sip and continued her story. "I ... took a swab ... and that's how I learned the truth! He's no father! Well, he has four kids ... not me ... not me. I'm the strange ... unwanted ... one."
The music changed to a new song, one that was louder and angry. It matched Cable's mood perfectly.
"They don't know ... where I am ... anymore. I bet ... they don't ... care."
She stumbled to her feet. She would go pass out in her bedroom. No one would miss her here either.
