A/N; Here is the sixth instalment of this 'story', which follows episode 1x06.

I find that it's easier to write as we progress through the season. In the beginning I had to be careful to not take things we know from later episodes and use them already. I really had to pretend like I hadn't seen the show before (as if) and start writing. The more the friendships and relationships are revealed and evolve, the easier it gets.

Also the huge amount of reviews is really working like a muse and are a great incentive to keep on going and work more and more stuff in. I am really flabbergasted, blown away, astonished by the response to this 'story' and I am grateful for each and every review. I have to say that I was intending on responding to each one through a message, but I never expected so many in one day. As I only have a small window of time to post due to crappy internet connections, I'd rather post new instalments than reply to all the reviews.

But you guys are the best! I love you for each and every word you've written. If this is kept up, I will surely continue this for a very long time!

I keep taking 'writers liberties' for this story. Don't shoot me please!

Please read this explanation before reading the 'story'. Otherwise it might be hard to keep track of things.

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.

A/N 2; While I am typing this there are two hens and two roosters staring at me through a window. Very distracting and intimidating!

Disclaimer; I own nothing Rookie Blue but the Blu Ray set of the first season.

"Bullet Proof"

Chris – Gail

What're you doing after shift?

Not much. Why?

Wanna grab a drink?

You asking me out Diaz?

I guess I am.

Sure, drinks are good.

~~~~~~~~~
Oliver – Sam
~~~~~~~~~

No Rook today?

I'm Rook-less. Would your head be able to take all her chatter?

Nope, guess not.

We should stop texting, the dinging of the phone makes my head hurt even more.

No talking, no texting. Got it. Got some more Advil?

~~~~~~~~
Traci – Andy
~~~~~~~~

So you're working with Homicide Luke today huh?

Yup, he managed to save me from Hung-over Swarek. Homicide Luke, that a new one?

Yeah, but I think I prefer Mr. Safe Choice.

Where did Jerry's goatee go anyway?

He lost during Poker night. Big time.

That explains the naked look. Gotta go, have to guard some 'evidence'.

Evidence? That's what he calls it? It's a guy with a bullet in his head right?

Don't get me started.

~~~~~~~~
Andy – Luke
~~~~~~~~

Anything you want me to ask Benny?

No, just guard the evidence. I need it for my case.

You do realise that this evidence is a human being right? And possibly a witness too.

Andy, come on. Drop it. Don't get to attached. As far as I'm concerned it's evidence.

~~~~~~~~
Andy - Traci
~~~~~~~~

I lost Benny. Luke is going to kill me.

Well, at least it's not Swarek's wrath you'll have to face.

I'd rather face his wrath than have Luke telling me I ruined his big case.

~~~~~~~~~
Oliver – Jerry
~~~~~~~~~

Sammy-boy just gave his Rook the keys to his truck.

Say what? Come again. Which Rook?

You heard me. And I think you know which Rook.

Oh… Wow…

Yep…

~~~~~~~~
Andy – Luke
~~~~~~~~

Found Benny

Glad you found the evidence. Take him to the hospital and have the bullet removed. Warrant is on the way.

Would you stop calling him evidence? He's a good kid.

The bullet in his head and the fact that he ran off tells me a different story.

~~~~~~~~
Andy – Traci
~~~~~~~~

I can't believe Luke keeps calling Benny evidence.

Hey, don't put your crap on me. I am spending the day inspecting, emptying and searching cars in the impound lot. Anything you do is more exciting than that.

So touchy!

Shut it. Dov is driving me nuts.

~~~~~~~~
Sam – Andy
~~~~~~~~

Found him yet?

Yep, at his foster mother's place. Taking him to back the hospital in 5 minutes.

My baby still okay?

Yes, your truck is unharmed. The breaks really are a little touchy though ;-)

Oh God… Did you convince the kid yet?

Nope. Working on it though. Rather have the bullet taken out voluntarily than forced by Luke's warrant.

If anyone can do it, it's you McNally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jerry – Sam – Oliver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any of you got some Advil left? I ran out about two hours ago.

My stock is pretty low too.

None left here. How's the nudity feel Barber?

Shut it Shaw.

Ooooh, somebody's a little cranky here.

~~~~~~~~
Luke – Andy
~~~~~~~~

Andy, come on. You did great. You recovered the evidence, I could solve the case… What more is there to want.

Yeah, I know that's how you see it.

Geez Andy, give me a break. Just doing my job. I'll wrap things up here and come over later. Okay?

~~~~~~~~
Traci – Andy
~~~~~~~~

I heard. You okay? Guess Mr Safe Choice is not always Mr Nice Guy.

Apparently I am too personal, I take things to the heart too much. I care too much.

Don't start like that Andy. Stop doubting yourself. You are a wonderful person and a great cop. Because you care.

Thanks Trace.

I mean it! You coming to the Penny?

Don't really feel like it. Think I'm heading home.

~~~~~~~~
Gail – Chris
~~~~~~~~

So this date tonight turns in to a celebration, shall we skip the Penny and go elsewhere?

Sure. But you couldn't have asked me sooner? We spend like the whole day together at work.

I heard you have a thing for leaving your radio on and rather keep some things private.

See you outside in 10 minutes?

10 minutes? That how much you need to look handsome? I'm a woman. I need 15, at least.

~~~~~~~~
Dov - Chris
~~~~~~~~

Drinks at the Penny? I could use a couple after the day I spent in the impound lot.

Sorry man, got other plans.

Hey dude, what happened to Bro's before Ho's?

What?

Well you hardly ever ditch on me, unless it's for a girl. Spill. Is it someone I know?

Nope.

Liar! It's Peck. Right?

Dov, just leave it.

~~~~~~~~
Traci – Jerry
~~~~~~~~

Your hangover better be gone by know. I need company, good company and fun after today.

You bet it's gone now. Need a ride?

Nah, taking my own car.

~~~~~~~~
Sam – Andy
~~~~~~~~

McNally, you did great today. No matter what others say. You really do have a Lion's heart and are a great cop. Don't doubt yourself.

How 'bout getting too personal?

Hey, I am your TO and I'm telling you, you did a great job. You taking things to the hard is what makes you special and a great cop.

Thanks Sam.

Now stop moping in the locker room and bring me my keys.

~~~~~~~~
Oliver – Sam
~~~~~~~~

You sure you were just waiting for your keys?

Yup

Cause, you know, with neither of you showing up at the Penny I am starting to think otherwise.

Oli, I am sure.

So that wasn't McNally I saw getting into your truck? What are the 2 of you up to?

Plumbing

That what they call it these days?

When I say plumbing, I mean plumbing Oli. You know, water, sinks, pipes. Plumbing.

Oh…

~~~~~~~~
Gail – Chris
~~~~~~~~

That was fun!

Fun? That all?

Okay, great. I really enjoyed myself.

Good, 'cause I did too. Sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams to you too. Want to check out the observation room tomorrow?

Gail…!

Relax Mr Manual. No one will notice.

~~~~~~~~
Andy – Sam
~~~~~~~~

Thanks Sam, for everything. For being there, for helping out with Marie and for letting me ride your baby.

Anytime McNally, I guess it was fun. Nice innuendo you put in there by the way.

Oh God no…

You and words. Dangerous combination.

Sorry for that.

Don't worry McNally.

So when are you going to stop calling me McNally?

Dunno, now go to sleep.

I will. Goodnight.

Goodnight McNally.

If you want me to sleep and be a good partner tomorrow stop texting me, you're keeping me up.

~~~~~~~~
Luke – Andy
~~~~~~~~

Case done, mayor is going to be a happy man. Shall I come over.

Do you even realise what time it is?

Want me to come over?

Luke, it's 2 AM. I was asleep. I have to work tomorrow. So no, don't think I want you to come over.

A/N; So, am I still on the right track here? Let me know! I'll try and post 1x07 later today, but I got a bit confused with a couple of things. Need to figure that out first. Oh the burden of having to watch 'Hot & Bothered' again... LOL
