here's a look at what Sam, Oliver, Noelle and Jerry went through in their first couple years on the job. Including a look at a young Andy McNally.
I hope you all enjoy the story
It was as if life was coming full circle on him, he started out at this station as the joke rookie than turned into one of the finest officers that the division had ever seen. Out of his group of five rookies, he was the one that was destined for trouble. Since the days of the academy Sam, Jerry, Noelle and Oliver all knew that there friend was going to be great, if only he would settle down and follow the orders correctly. This is how Sam, Oliver, Noelle and Jerry became the coppers that they are now and what slightly impacted a young Andy McNally into following in her father's footsteps of becoming a copper.
"Come on JD, if you don't hurry up were going to be late for class" replied one Oliver Shaw trying to rush his roommate out the door to class
"Then go ahead, you guys don't have to wait for me" came the response from one Ryan 'JD' Daniels
"We may not have to wait for you buddy, but if we don't you tend to walk into class ten minutes late" provided by one slightly impatient Jerry Barber
"So what it's just the review of the basics again?" replied JD
"Yeah the last one" came from an annoyed looking Sam Swarek
"This time next week, the five of us are going to be at fifteen division starting the first day of the rest of our careers" came from the also very impatient and anxious to leave Noelle Williams
"Seriously when you guys put it that way, let's go" after finally giving in to them replied JD. It was like that every other day for them; it was as if he didn't care that how he does at the academy effects how he is treated at the station.
By the time, they got to class and sat through everything the sergeant in charge of the class went over. He surprised everybody at the end of class with a little mock up of how their careers will possible play out.
"You first Ollie, what does yours say?" asked Jerry out of wonder
"That I'll be in uniform for the whole time, I'm on the job. How about you Noelle?" replied and asked Oliver
"Same, except they predict that I might become a white shirt. Sammy, yours?" answered and asked Noelle
"Unclear, it's not sure what I'll be they say I might be in undercover, but they also say I might work uniform. JD, how about yours what do they say for you?" responded and asked of Sam
"Don't really care to know" replied JD
"Come on you got to tell" whined Jerry
"If you want to know, tell us what it says for your Jerry. Then I'll maybe tell" shot back JD
"Fine, let's see...wow, this is crazy it says I'll be a detective" came the shocked answer from Jerry
"Awesome man" seemed to be the collective response from the group of friends
"Well, how about you JD? What does yours say?" pushed Sam for answers because if he gave his than for sure JD was going to give his
"That I'm going to be a boss, which is never going to happen," stated JD
"That's for sure" called out Noelle
"Hey, how about we all give Noelle the papers to hold on to, for future comparisons," asked by Jerry on a whim
"That way all you suckers can check back with me in say nine years to see how we match up to the predictions on these papers provide, I'm game" responded Noelle on slight excitement
"Sounds good to me," answered Oliver
"Same here" was Jerry's answer to the thing
"Sure why not, I don't got anything to lose but my dignity" from JD
"Whatever" was Sam's answer to that
"What dignity? You're the guy who jumped into the pool in nothing but your undies, a few weeks back" supplied Noelle out of complete surprise to that answer
"That's because I was told to. Hello I was the swimmer who was drowning and by the way Sammy that reminds me never to partner up with you ever again, it's embarrassing how bad you are at rescuing someone, they had to send in Burner because of you" in a rushed and slightly hurtful response from JD
"Awkward" was pretty much the first thing Oliver and Jerry could think of saying to that
"Yeah especially when she tried to perform mouth to mouth" from Noelle who was trying to keep a straight face the whole time
"That's when I jumped in pointing out our boy here had a cold that backed her off quick" was Oliver's quick response to that
"And for that I am still grateful to you, Oliver" in the most honesty ad heartfelt reply that JD could must up at that particular moment
"Just wait I'm planning on collecting on that gratefulness sometime in the distant future" responded Oliver in all seriousness
"And I'll be there" replied JD
"Good, to hear. Now let's go get something to eat from the commissary I'm starving," stated Oliver
"When aren't you starving?" asked Sam
"Whenever you cook brother, whenever you cook," answered Oliver with a huge smile on his face
For them life was going great, they were going to be graduating from the Academy in a couple days and then starting their careers a few days later together at fifteen division. They just weren't as ready as they thought for what was to be ahead of them. After graduation, the five friends headed out with a couple other buddies to a local bar to have a celebratory drink before calling it a night. The trip wasn't as fruitless as they were hoping; it seemed as if wherever they seem to go one of them were always getting into some kind of trouble and this time wasn't any different.
"Hey you all aren't welcome here," shouted the bartender from the bar upon the groups entry into the slightly empty bar
"Really why not? Last time I checked anybody was welcome" replied Sam
"Things change; I don't need any of their kind in here" replied the bartender
"What kind would that be?" asked Noelle
"The kind that are coppers" replied the bartender
"So you're telling me, I can't come in here?" asked JD
"No what I'm saying is that you and your two buddies to the right of you can but the rest of them can't" answered the bartender
"What makes you think these guys are coppers?" asked JD out of curiosity
"Their rings, seen it before. Always get a group at this time of year, that damn police academy just finished for the year and they always end up at my bar. I don't need the likes of them in here," stated the bartender/owner
"I get it man," came from Sam
"I don't just one question, why do they get to come in?" asked Jerry
"Because I choose who comes into my bar and they can," answered the bartender
"But what if those three are coppers as well?" asked Oliver
"Doubt it; they don't fit the average build of a copper" replied one of the patrons at the bar
"Shit man, you definitely need some glasses then" replied Oliver, with some kind of unknown confidence
"Yeah, this kid in front. He's the ace of the class the top rookie officer to beat," answered Sam with the most confidence he's ever had in awhile
"No way." Stated the bartender
"Yeah way, I may not look like a copper or act like one but I am one. Therefore, if you're going to let these two and myself in you'd have to let my other friends in as well. Otherwise, we'll bounce and you'll be out of some good business. So...have it your way," replied JD with all the confidence and attitude that he normal has
"Whatever...copper" was the response given to them by the bartender. That was the day that Sam, Oliver, Noelle and Jerry realised that there boy was ready, he maybe a slacker at times but hearing him admit to being a copper proved he was ready for the job.
