Chapter 3
Gail is walking towards the meeting room of the 15th division when Dov stops her from walking. He needs to talk to her about this whole mess. "Go away Dov" "No, please give me a minute to explain" Dov asks. "Dov, I love you as a friend and nothing more, thanks to you Chris does not trust me" "I want us to be friends, and I am very sorry about all the things I said while on those pills" What have I been stupid, Dov thought to himself. "It was never my intention to break you two apart, I'll try to talk to him if he will listen" Dov said, Chris is still angry with him he rememberd. Gail took a deep breath, why did this blow up in her face? She was really serious with Chris, she saw herself with Chris for the rest of their lives. She had not yet forgiven Dov, but she didn't want to be angry. Gail gave a small smile to Dov "Well let's get to work shall we" Gail said as Dov gave a small smile in return. "Let's serve and protect" Dov said as they both walked to the meeting room.
Gail was standing in the back of the meeting room as she saw Andy and Traci sitting next to Chris on the front row. They still had not talked to eachother. She was not sure were they were standing. Chris had told her he did not trust her around Dov, she has no feelings for Dov, they are just friends. Also she did not understand why he was blaming her since Dov was kissing her hand and almost like hitting on her. She did not ask for any of that. Then she heard Williams mentioning that she was on street patrol with Andy, she did not want that. Andy is like a big sister of Chris, this was going to be long day at work, again.
Gail was driving the police car around Toronto, it was a pretty boring day. After two hours of complete silence Andy decided to take her chance to talk with Gail about Chris. He is really down about all this. "So Gail, do you like Dov?" Andy asked looking straight forward and then looking Gail in the eyes. "I like Dov as a friend, nothing more" "What did Dov say all to you in that police car then?" Andy asked, she needed to know what had been said, Chris did not really went into that. All she knew is that Chris was hurt, he loved Gail probably still loves her, Gail is quite a bitch sometimes but she makes Chris happy. "Dov was high on those pills, basically it comes down to that he said he wished he was Chris and then he kissed my hand." Gail said having a weird expression on her face. "Wow, that is weird" Andy said. She did not expect that from Dov, still she wasn't sure why Chris did not trust Gail around Dov when it should be the other way around.
When Chris and Dov were home, Dov decided it was time for them to talk. He knew Chris was angry at him but he needed to know the truth, that's what real friends do. Dov was standing before the door of Chris's room "Chris!, I know you're still angry with me but you need to hear me out." Dov said as Chris opened the door "Alright Dov, hit me" Chris told Dov. "First I should have never said those things to Gail but due to the pills and more I, I told her that I liked her and she didn't say anything to me I just went off ranting. I'm here the one who backstabbed you and you and Gail are like my family and I feel horrible, that you two are suffering and not talking to each other because of something that I have done. I never planned to steal Gail from you, I am moving on from that and that's why I am moving out of this apartment. I am going to move in with Sue. Then again I'm really sorry for causing this mess, you did not deserve this." Dov said as he turned around to go this room and pack his stuff when Chris stepped out of his room "Hey Dov" Dov turned around "Let's put this behind us, life's too short" Chris said and both were shaking hands "I'll help you with packing that stuff" and both went into Dov's room to pack all his stuff.
Finally it is weekend! Gail thought to herself, the perfect time to get wasted and hang out with her girls. No work meant not dealing with Chris. Gail was getting ready as she was meeting her girls, Lynn and Macy at the club. As last she put her red lipstick on (her trademark) and went downstairs.
Chris was sleeping in his bed when he heard a knock on his door. First he thought it was a dream but the knocking got louder. He stood up and walked to the door wondering who would be knocking on his apartment door at 3 in the morning. Slowly he opened the door, he was surprised to find Gail there leaning on the wall and clearly drunk. "Hi Gail" Chris said awkwardly, "what are you doing here?" Gail was laughing "Oh hi, Chris!" She was still laughing "I just wanted to say that I miss, you and I don't understand why you're so mean to me" the laughing had turned into a pout on her face. "Gail, I know we need to talk but not when you're drunk" Chris said not knowing if she would admit the same if she was sober. Gail turned around to go away but Chris stopped her by the arm. "Wait, I'll give you a ride home" as he grabbed his keys. He would never let Gail walk the streets in this condition.
