A/N; Here is the second instalment of this 'story' following episode 1x02.
Please read my explanation before reading the 'story'. Otherwise it might be hard to keep track of things.
I had this idea. It actually seemed like a good idea to me. But then I started plotting, scribbling and what else one does when a (story)idea comes to mind. And 'the little one shot' turned into something more of a multi-chaptered nature. So here is the first chapter. And maybe the idea wasn't so great anymore.
I have always been wondering what it would be like to have a peek in our favourite cops' phones. What they would text each other before, during and after shift, etc. So I had a go at it. Although I have included all characters it will evolve into a more McSwarek centric thing. At first I considered separating McSwarek from the rest and form it into another 'story'. That would not make sense as their relationship has been building up over the seasons. And I need to kick off somewhere.
My idea is to take you through the episodes, one by one, starting off at 1.01. I have the first four episodes written, so will be posting about three at the time to 'finish' before season 3 starts on the 24th of may. If the response is good enough I will continue this throughout the season.
I also took a couple of 'writers liberties' during this story. Don't shoot me please!
With the start of every conversation I have mentioned who are involved. I have been struggling with the formatting for this story, so please forgive if things (still) aren't clear enough. I haven't read anything like this before, so I didn't really have something to go by.
Basically the first character mentioned is the first character to send a text, the second character is mentioned in bold and texts from that character will also be displayed in bold.
If any of you has a better idea for the formatting please message me or leave a review.
Disclaimer; I own nothing Rookie Blue but the Blu Ray set of the first season.

Guess it's Boyko's idea of fun huh? Sticks me in a cruiser with cocky Mr. Badass cop, makes him my TO.
You okay in there?
Nothing I can't handle. He's holding his grudge all right. Whoops, gotta go, he's coming back.
Hang in there girl, you'll survive.

Nice one Boyko's pulling on you. Pairing you up with the overeager Rook who ruined your op. Good luck with this one.
I'll thank him later. She talks. A lot.

That hairball giving your trouble?

Just saw your Rook wandering around the barn. Ditched her already?
Yup, wanted to see if she's as good with paperwork as she is with talking. I need quiet time.

Good job today, McNally.
Thank you, Sir.

So how was your day? Survived the wrath of Swarek?
Fine actually. He's not to bad. Just doing his job.
Any more striptease acts in locker rooms?
Trace…! I'm never telling you a thing again. Of course not. Night, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
