Been awhile, but I'm back here's the next part.
=========================== ============================== ======4
A few weeks had gone by since the whole injury thing and the division was getting back to running at top shape that was until, Guns and Gangs decided they needed to come in and take from the rookie pool of every division within its specific search criteria. Sure enough when it came to fifteen's visit, just about all the rookies were jumping at a chance to make a name for themselves. All except for JD and Oliver, they didn't see a need in volunteering to take part in the assignment. Well JD mainly because he's still on modified duties until he's given the all clear and besides he knows how much Jerry, Sam and Noelle are still trying to prove themselves to everyone.
"So which one of them do you think stands a chance, brother?" asked Oliver out of interest
"I'd have to go with Noelle, the girl is crazy good. Plus I wouldn't want to mess with her," stated JD as if there was no other choice
"True yeah but I think you or Sam would be a good mix. You're both hot headed and awesome under pressure," replied Oliver
"No way, I ain't interest in being somebody's play thing, besides I'm not even allowed to think about it and I'm not interested in it," replied JD
"Who say's? It's not like you can't talk to them and anyways you're the best rookie here and everybody knows it," answered Oliver trying to get his point across
"That might be so, Ollie but I'm not going to let them reel me in with empty promises. Why aren't you stepping up to the ball?" answered and asked JD hoping himself to get that particular mater dropped
"Not my thing, I'd stick out like a sore thumb if I was chosen, besides what about Jerry?" answered and asked Oliver also trying to change topics
"Jerry? No way the man is smooth but not UC material You don't think you have what it takes do you?," answered JD to that question
"Maybe your right about Jerry and as for the other thing, pretty much. Besides Zoe is giving me a hard enough time for being a cop I don't want to give her anymore problems," sited Oliver towards the question asked before him
"I hear you, still can't believe the two of you are still together," replied JD giving slight shock towards his response
"C'mon now brother, that's just not nice. You know I'm crazy about the girl, why aren't you really going for the spot. It's not like you to follow the rules," asked Oliver who himself was slightly annoyed with JD's remark
"I don't know guns and gangs aren't really my thing. I'd rather work the streets as me than as some despicable scumbag profiting off others," replied JD
"That's good to know, what's your name rookie?" asked the detective from guns and gangs
"Who me? Or him?" replied JD in response to the question
"You smartass," replied the detective
"Me, nobody. Don't even bother; I'm not interested, detective..." answered JD
"Detective Al Jones and yeah I heard that, but I don't care. I want your name," stated and replied guns and gangs detective Jones
"Fine, Oliver Shaw," supplied JD frustrated that he had to cough-up his name
"He's just joking with you, I'm Oliver Shaw and he's Ryan Daniels," answered Oliver very quickly so as that there wouldn't be any confusions
"Daniels...as in that rookie who took down that gangbanger a few weeks back with his TO?" asked Jones in surprise
"Maybe, what's it to you?" asked JD getting suspicious
"Nothing, just wanted to congratulate you for taking down a semi-major player in the game it showed guts man. Didn't think anybody would do what you did," replied detective Jones trying to brush off his intrigue
"Yeah so, it wasn't anything special just did my job like any other rook would have. And as I said before not interested move along" stated JD as if it truly was just another day on the job
"Whatever you say, this ain't over yet rookie," replied Jones as he turned and stated to walk away
"I'm pretty sure it is. You got no reason to talk to me; I don't plan on offering my assistance. Plus in case your hard of hearing I'm on modified duties, do to that arrest" pointed out JD
"Yeah I heard but I also know that you don't usually follow the rules when it comes to certain things," replied Jones stopping just before the corner of the squad room
"Whatever, I got somewhere else to be right now, Shaw...see you later," replied JD as he himself started to head towards booking
"You got it brother" called out Oliver as he got back to work
"We'll speak again Officer Daniels," replied Jones
"Can't wait, I'll keep a light on for you," was JD's reply as he walked off towards the locker rooms. It was as if nobody was listening to him, he was interested in taking part in some mundane sting. Granted it'll look good on his jacket but he didn't care, he wasn't looking at making a name for himself he was just looking at doing his job.
Sure enough, to his word, the detective from Guns and Gangs showed up again and this time he brought some of his best officers to help him get the message across to JD about coming to join them.
"Detective Jones, nice to see you again. What's this you bring, a couple of your girlfriends along with you? You must be desperate because they ain't even that pretty," stated JD with the last part direct more for Oliver than for Jones
"Funny, these happen to be two of the many officers, who you will be working with by the end of your tour today," stated Jones
"Aren't we a smug one, sorry mate ain't happening. I already got myself a dance partner and you lot aren't it," replied JD
"That's fine you keep saying that Daniels but you'll be mine. Peck, Boyd keep this rookie company while I talk to his serge" ordered Jones to his two lackey's
"You got it boss," replied Steven Peck
"Will do," answered Donovan Boyd
"Seriously you two are what his lackey's? Pathetic, he can't get me on his own so he's got to bring in two underlings to do it? Little fish in a big fish's world must suck for you two," stated JD
"Whatever, I don't even see what he could possible see in you. Do you Boyd?" asked Peck
"Beats me, but it's whatever. He's just some smartass little kid who thinks he all that" responded Boyd
"That's right he is just a kid, a second-rate kid, with nothing going for him," added Peck
"Nice you two rehearse this little show before coming here? Cause it needs just a little more work," stated JD knowing exactly what kind of reaction that would arise from them
"Daniels, let's roll" called out Boyko
"Coming Boyko, sorry boys but I got some real police work to get back to. You all have a nice day now," responded JD as he rushed to catch up to his TO. Once he and Boyko were out in the car and driving away from the barn was when the questions started coming his way.
"So who were those idiots back there?" asked Boyko
"A couple of goons from Guns and Gangs" answered JD
"Guns and Gangs, huh? Why they sniffing around you for?' asked Boyko
"Beats me, I pissed off one of their D's a few weeks back. He thinks he can get me to transfer teams or something," answered JD as if that past run-in was nothing
"You interested in them?" asked Boyko again out of curiosity
"Nope, like it where I am just fine. Got friends here and I don't want to have to have you break in a new rookie partner that would be just so wrong of me," answered JD in usual manner
"Oh yeah, but just think you'll have a group of people who'd actually be able to handle you, that's if you go" stated Boyko, testing the waters
"Seriously are you trying to get rid of me or something?" asked JD getting a little annoyed
"Never if you go, who'll pay for lunch or do all the paperwork?" answered Boyko trying to convey his relief by the response
"I dunno maybe you, it's just common fact that all the TO's used to do their own paperwork before us rookies as well as pay for their own meals. So I'd think you might survive, plus I don't think the serge wants to get rid of me just yet," answered JD
"Let's hope not your only two months in, you have way more to learn before you could even think about transferring out, besides I like all the pranks you pull" answered Boyko
"So very true and how'd you know that was me? Plus I don't really plan on going anywhere if I can help it"
"Alright than and I knew because I've been riding with you for this long I think I know when you do something outlandish" answered Boyko ending that line of conversation for now, the two of them got back to work after that. If JD knew than what was in store for him in the following weeks he would have definitely have kept himself in check.
After finishing shift JD was going to head to the Penny to unwind when he realized that, he had made a deal to have dinner with Andy and Tommy. As much as he wanted to pull out of the dinner and just relax with his friends, Andy promised him that this dinner was going to be special for him. Upon leaving the locker rooms with Oliver and Sam, they were again approached by the detective from Guns and Gangs.
"Just the rookies I was looking for" stated detective Jones upon finding JD, Shaw and Swarek
"Sammy I think he's talking to you" replied JD
"If only that was true, JD" answered Sam
"Well he can't be talking to me, because I'm not interested in anything he has to say. Especially since the serge told him to piss off earlier today" stated JD smugly
"And how would you know that?" asked Jones annoyed that this rookie is one-upping him again
"Simple I heard it through the grape vine. If there's one thing you being a big time detective might have forgotten it's the fact that we patrol cops are quite the gossipers," replied JD
"You seriously think you're all that kid? I wasn't here for you; it's your buddy Swarek who I'm here for" replied Jones throwing in his own dig on the kid
"No way, you told me earlier that I don't got what it takes so I'm not interested either," replied Sam
"So you're going to turn me down just because your boy isn't interested in hearing me out?" asked Jones
"I'm turning you down because I'm not interested, you're only using me to get at my boy and I will not be played like that," stated Sam
"What makes you think that I'd do something like that?" asked Jones
"That's an easy one, everybody around here say's your just looking for your next meal ticket and you didn't bother to check out any other division because you knew, who the best rookie is" stated Sam
"We may not all be as good as JD but we all know when were being played, isn't that right brother?" answered and stated Oliver
"That's right Oliver," answered Sam
"Couldn't put it better myself. So if I was you Jones I'd leave before something happens," replied JD
"Is that a threat little boy?" asked Jones
"Nope I don't threaten people, takes too much time. I just speak the truth, that's just how I was raised," stated JD
"Alright you win; I'll leave you alone for now" replied Jones as he headed for the exit
"Great good to hear, say hey to your girls from earlier for me" called out JD, and with that, the three rookies headed off to meet Noelle and Jerry in the parking lot. After calling Andy and saying he'll be a little late he was going to head to the Penny and have one drink with his fellow rookies if that was okay with her. Sure enough, she had no problem with that since dinner wasn't going to be ready for another few hours and her dad wasn't going to be finished up until about then with what he had to do.
