DJ: This is Storm signing in to all my listeners out there in the land of love and luxury. Pretty hot day on the beaches of Santa Monica earlier today, but the nights are starting to cool up and a perfect time to be with the one you love. I'm going to start this session off with one of my favorite hits from R&B singer Usher, Nice and Slow. This is Storm on 92.9, WXYK.
"I love her show so much. I honestly think that Storm is the best DJ on the radio these days. She gives great advice and she plays all the music that I love." Chris Kelly explained to her co-worker and best friend Cory McNamara as they both finished off their reports for the lieutenant.
"I don't know if I would call her the best DJ on the radio Chris. I mean I personally like the DJ on that country station that comes on around the same time as Storm so I haven't really caught a lot of her shows." Cory stated.
"Are you insane?! No one is better than Storm. She is the greatest." Chris exclaimed.
"Well everyone is entitled to their own opinions Chris. I mean you and I have different taste in music so of course we would naturally have different preferences on radio stations." Cory said, trying to get that point etched into her friend's stubborn head.
"Whatever. So what are your plans for the weekend?" Chris asked, clearly changing the subject.
"I don't know yet. Why, you got something planned?" Cory asked.
"Nah, just inquiring. Well if you want to do something let me know so that I won't make plans." Chris said.
"Chris, have you noticed that TC has been acting differently lately." Cory stated.
"What do you mean? He's been acting like the same ole TC to me," said Chris.
"I mean the difference is subtle, but it's there. He has been really chipper lately. Even Del Toro spotted it too. As a matter of fact, he's the one that pointed it out to me." Cory said.
"Is it illegal now to be happy?" asked Chris.
"What I mean is that Victor and I think that TC has a girlfriend and doesn't want to show or tell." Cory stated.
"TC doesn't have a girlfriend Cory. If he did, he would have told us. Why would he start keeping secrets now?" Chris said.
"I've come up with two answers to that question. Either we know who the person is and he wants to keep it under wraps or he doesn't want to jinx it so he's not talking about it." Cory responded.
"Why don't you just ask him what's going on? I'm sure TC would tell you if you asked." Chris said.
"Well, why don't you ask him?" Cory asked.
"Because I don't care if he does or not. It's really not our business Cory. Lets respect the man's privacy." Chris said.
"I guess you're right. I can't believe that you're not the least bit curious though," replied Cory.
"Why would I be curious?" asked Chris.
"Well, you know because...you know...you and TC have this sort of silent attraction for each other." Cory stated.
"Now you're losing your mind McNamara. TC and I have a silent attraction to each other. What gave you that idea?" Chris asked, briefly looking away from her friend.
"Don't even play stupid Kelly. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You and Callaway are always giving each other the goo-goo eyes." Cory retorted.
"Goo-goo eyes! It must really be hot outside because you're starting to hallucinate and blabber incoherently out the mouth." Chris replied.
"Whatever Chris." Cory said.
DJ: I don't know about you out there on the streets of Santa Monica, but I have a jones in my bones to cuddle up next to the person I love after that song from R&B sensation Usher Raymond. I'm going to open up the phone lines in a few minutes to the listeners so that you can express and share your stories of love and heartbreak, if need be. Before we get that started here's a brief message from our sponsors. This is Storm on 92.9, WXYK.
"What's going on ladies?" Victor Del Toro asked as he and TC Callaway approached the two women.
"Finishing up these reports for Palermo. Chris are you almost finished?" Cory asked.
"Um...yeah I'm almost finished. I need about another good hour," she replied.
"HOUR!! What have you been doing over there? I'm already done with my report." Cory screamed.
"Yeah well I have a lot of detail in my report." Chris responded.
"I was the arresting officer. You're just pretty much writing down how the scene was when you arrived there." Cory retorted.
"Yeah well, I want to make sure that my report has enough information in it so that if someone was to read it they would be able to create a picture off of what I stated." Chris said.
"In other words, you haven't started yet." Cory said.
"Precisely." was all that Chris could say.
"Well I'm taking off. Are you guys ready to leave?" Cory asked, turning her attention back to Victor and TC.
"Um...I have some work that I need to finish off before I can take off," replied TC.
"I don't Cory so if you're ready to leave I'll leave with you." Victor said. The two officers walked away from TC and Chris and didn't look back. The two officers stared in amazement as their so called friends walked out of the station without them in tow.
"I can't believe they just left us like that." Chris yelled.
"I can. It's the weekend Chris and you'd have done the same thing." TC stated.
"You're probably right," she said.
"Probably?"
"Okay. I would've, but they're not me now are they." Chris said. Chris turned her attention back to the report that was sitting on her desk, but TC continued to stay there and look at her. Chris felt Tic's eyes on her and looked up. She looked around the room to make sure that no one was paying particular attention to them before she spoke.
"You know TC, Cory and Victor seem to think that you have a girlfriend because of the weird way that you have been acting lately." Chris said.
"Well do I have a girlfriend?" TC asked.
"Why are you asking me that? How would I know?" Chris said.
"Don't play dumb Kelly. You know exactly why I'm asking you." TC responded. Chris looked around again to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation before she continued in a lower voice.
"I thought that we agreed that we would keep what ever was going on between us a secret until we knew what was going on." Chris said, barely above a whisper.
"I know that we agreed Chris, but this secrecy is killing me. I'm tired of lying to our friends about what is going on in our lives. We can trust Victor and Cory with this Chris. They are good friends of ours." TC said.
"So is Tony TC. So if we're going to tell Cory and Victor because they're good friends of our then we have to tell Palermo too if that's the case." Chris stated.
"Tony is different Chris and you know that. Victor and Cory don't have the power to transfer us to another command because we're involved, Tony does. I know that Palermo is a good friend, but he is still our commanding officer Chris and he would be neglecting his duties if he kept us at the same station and I don't know about you but I don't want to put him in that situation," replied TC.
"Neither do I TC, that's why I don't think that it's a good idea to involve other people right now. I just think that we should take it slow that's all. Lets find out for ourselves what is going on and then we can move on from there." Chris said.
"I think that you're scared to get further in this relationship with me, so you're using that as an excuse." TC said as he walked away from Chris. Chris watched as TC stormed out the firehouse. Unbeknownst to the two officers, the man in the room on the balcony was watching their whole conversation. Chris finished up her report and left the fire station, but instead of heading straight home she made a detour to TC's house. When she got there, TC was sitting on the porch sipping a beer.
"You want to talk?" she asked.
"Not really. See I noticed something about you Chris. You're so stubborn that talking doesn't really do anything to you." he said.
"Whatever. I didn't come over here to argue with you. I guess I'll see you at the firehouse Monday." Chris said as she started to walk away.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about. You're not even trying to fight for this Chris." TC said.
"Because I didn't think that I'd have to TC. What do you want from me?" Chris asked, getting very agitated.
"What do you think?" TC asked.
"I knew this was a bad idea from the start. I don't know why I went along with this." Chris said walking away. TC sat there for a few minutes thinking to himself before he got up to go after her. By the time he caught up with her she was almost home.
"Chris, wait up," he said as ran to catch up with her.
"TC lets just forget about this whole thing. It's been nothing but trouble from the start. I mean who are we kidding. It's never going to work out between the two of us. This was just one huge mistake..." Before Chris could finish her sentence, TC engulfed her lips in a kiss. They stayed in each others arms for what seemed like an eternity until Chris pushed away from TC. They looked into each others eyes and didn't say anything to one another. They both knew what had to be done without saying it. They walked back to TC's house talking about the events of the day.
