A/N; Here is the fourth instalment of this 'story', which follows episode 1x04.
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.

You should see Diaz hooking. Those tight white jeans? Priceless!
Take pictures! You sound like you're having more fun than we are.
How's that?
Somebody is caring way too much about his Rook(s).

Andy – Traci

Oh. My. God. I screwed up again Trace. Wish I'd traded places with you.
Why? So you and Mr. Safe choice can have sexytime while on the job?
No… 'cause now I'll have to face the wrath of Swarek. AGAIN.

Andy – Luke

Taking your advice and following that lead. Thanks.
Good, better work a real case instead of 'hooking'. Building a name is important.

Noelle – Sam

Apparently one of your Rooks got herself in trouble again.
Now what? Where?
Don't know, better get back here.

Thanks for giving my Rook your lousy advice. Coulda killed her. Do you care about anything other than careers and reputations?
I think you care about your Rook too much Swarek. Face it, she's mine.
Your what? Your Rookie of the year? I'm just being a TO taking care of my Rooks wellbeing.

McNally, try to keep yourself out of trouble the next couple of shifts. Okay?
Yes sir. I'll try. Just kind of seem to attract it.
Just take care of yourself. How's your old man by the way? You know he used to be one of my TO's?
Ah, were you the Rook always giving him trouble? He fine.
McNally….
Sorry sir, that was out of order. Disregard?
Disregard. See you tomorrow McNally.
See you tomorrow.

Heard you did well today.
Did I? Apparently I was too 'cheap'.
Meant figuring out who the John Doe was, giving the dad closure.
