Chapter 2

Immediately I was escorted to the women's locker room and Oliver looked at me.

"Your locker will be here, and I'll wait for you to get dressed"

"Thank you sir" I said softly.

As I walked out in uniform Staff Sergeant Shaw was waiting and he showed me around. Everyone was watching as he lead me around and when we got to the parade room he closed the door before anyone could enter and he looked at me.

"You will come here in uniform and I will come in and inform you and everyone else if there is anything special going on, as well do you want to go out in the field today?"

"Yes sir"

"Good, now I'm assuming your going to tell me about your no touch thing?"

I closed my eyes and immediately images and my screams echoed in my head.

"When I was in Afghanistan on my fourth tour I was captured and tortured for three months sir. Hence the medical discharge with honours"

Oliver just stared at me as I told him what happened and he closed his eyes for a moment and I just stood there. His gaze fell on all the officers waiting outside and he looked back at me.

"Ok have a seat I will introduce you in a bit and then I'll take you out myself today. Then assign you to an officer tomorrow"

"Thank you sir"

He smiled at me and soon he opened the door and everyone walked in. Immediately the whispers ensued and I just sat there looking at the boards up front. I felt the gaze of each officer in the room. Until I felt one particular person. She sat beside me and I broke my gaze as she looked into my eyes.

"Why are you here?" She said coldly.

"Because of dad" I whispered back.

Before our conversation could continue Staff Sergeant Shaw stood at the front of the room and began to talk about today's events and what he wanted each officer to do.

"Ok now to the juicy part, I'm sure your all wondering who this girl is right here… Her name is Alexis Parker, she is starting her first day back in our division. she was gone for six years and I will personally be training her, which means… What Diaz?"

"You'll be out on the field?"

"Exactly… I will be out on the field accepting calls… So let's go do your thing and remember protect, serve and stay safe people"

I immediately rose up and looked at Casey and she walked over to a board that had her name on it and she looked over to me. She was assigned desk duty and I saw the dread on her face. I quickly walked over to staff Sergeant Shaw and looked into his eyes.

"Sir may I suggest I ride with Casey?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes sir, I don't want special treatment and I would feel comfortable with her since she is my sister"

"Right your father said no special treatment, alright I'll ride with you till we arrest someone then I'll pull Casey from the desk"

I nodded at him and soon we were outside getting into a vehicle when I was stopped by several people.

"You're the commissioners daughter?" Asked a girl.

"Y-yes ma'am" I said softly.

"My name is Andy, Andy McNally, this is Gail Peck and Chris Diaz, and Chloe Price"

I smiled at all of them and immediately Oliver walked out and I quickly stood at attention waiting for my orders. It was hard to break out of habit that had been developed for six years.

"What are you doing standing around go drive somewhere" said Oliver with a smile.

Soon we were driving around and Oliver had a smile on his face. He was enjoying the freedom and I just sat in my seat quiet as I watched how everyone went about their day.

"So you want to tell me a bit about yourself, what was it like in the military?"

"It was a lot of order sir, in Afghanistan and Iraq I was tasked with going into the harshest areas to talk with the locals. My unit was one of the best out there"

"What about Casey?"

"She stayed behind, my father forbid her from going to join, he knew how much I changed from the video calls we did"

"You never came home?"

"Once, for Christmas"

I looked over at Oliver and he was watching the road. As we were driving around we got our first arrest and it went with ease. Oliver smiled at me and soon when we arrived back he helped me with my paper work and then went and got Casey.

"You will be riding with your sister today, and please go easy on her"

"Alright"

"Alexis, call me if you have any questions or need anything"

"Yes sir"

I soon followed my sister out and we were driving around. The silence was nice as I observed everyone going about their day and Casey looked over at me.

"You doing alright?"

"Yes"

"Are you hungry?"

"No"

"When did you eat last?"

"four days ago"

I then heard her take a deep breath and she pulled over to a connivence store and I quickly got out with her. As she was grabbing some food I looked at her and I pulled out my wallet and paid for the both of us. When we got into the vehicle that's was when we got a call.

When we arrived at the station I watched as Casey took our first arrest into the booking area and before anyone could react the guy pulled a knife on Casey and I watched and reacted just like my training. Before the guy could even react I was on top of him with the knife ever so close to his vein. One simple jolt and the knife would be lodged into his jugular. Before anyone could say anything I rolled the guy over and handcuffed him. My gaze fell on Casey and she was stunned and had a small cut on her neck. As I walked away from her I walked over to Oliver and he looked into my eyes.

"What happened in there?"

"It was my fault sir I forgot to pat him down throughly, the situation is contained sir"

When Oliver looked at me he saw the small drips of blood on my hand and he pulled my hand up. His gentle touch caused me to open my hand from the fist I had it in and he saw the deep cut. He quickly pulled off his tie and wrapped my hand up. Casey walked from the booking area and before she went to the showers to change her gaze landed on me.

"My office lets go I'll wrap your hand up, you need to go get stitches"

"Could you just do it sir?"

he looked at me and nodded and I just watched as Casey walked away. Andy and the others walked into Oliver's office as he was patching me up and they saw I never flinched once as he did his best.

"Alexis, do you want to come to the penny after work?" Asked Price.

"I-I can't, I have to go home… But maybe next time?"

"Sure, Oliver meet you there?" Said Andy.

A simple nod ensued as they left and I just looked into Oliver's eyes.

How was I going to explain this to my father?
