Hello .. Just wanna leave a little note to thank you all for following and leaving me reviews .. Much appreciated xx
" Wow! You look like shit " Traci giggled as she walked past Gail's desk
" So what "? Gail barked with her head face down on her desk " I have the hang over from hell and Sargent Best has put me on desk duty" the blonde explained " So really Traci ? I couldn't care less "
Traci grinning with her hand on her hip " Ok so you won't care that Holly has just walked in ?
" What "? Gail gasped straightening up trying to fix her hair
" Gotcha" Traci laughed messing Gail's hair up
"Bitch" Gail sulked
" Seriously though, she is on her way in, so if you want to look half decent I would head to the locker room , and fast " Traci smiled thinking how cute it was seeing Gail so flustered
Gail shrugged " like I care , she's seeing Officer " I'll fix your lights " Gail sulked sarcastically
" You don't know that " Traci argued
Gail stared down at her friend " I don't .. Care Ok? "
Traci rolled her eyes shaking her head " Ok Gail if you say so ?"
Gail flipped her friend off walking out of the bull pen straight towards the locker room
So what if Holly was dating Officer Luck, it didn't mean Gail didn't want to look good. Staring into the mirror she sighed heavily, " I really need to stop drinking " she moaned out loud looking at the rings around her eyes
" I second that " Andy groaned as she appeared from behind the blonde " The thought of a 10 hour shift is breaking my heart " she laughed
Gail nodded agreeing with the brunette
" What I don't get is how Chloe always looks fine the next day " Andy moaned "she looks fresh and she's always so upbeat "
Gail growled "she's not up beat , she's just damn right annoying "
" Well yeah" Andy shrugged " but you know what I mean ? Same goes for Holly, she was drinking beer and bourbon last night and she looks amazing "
Gail spun around " You've seen Holly ?"
Andy nodded " yeah in the parking lot, That Officer from 27 dropped her, Hey are they like dating "?
Gail snapped " how the fuck would I know McNally "?
Andy raised her eye brows shocked at Gail sudden change of mood " Ok sorry, geez I only asked "
" Yeah well.. why don't you ask her instead?" Gail bitched storming out of the locker room straight into the the Doctor knocking her files from her hands
" Watch where you going " Gail snapped as she carried on waking
Holly stood dumbfounded " Are you kidding me?" She called out
" Shit Holly, let me help you?" Andy offered seeing the mess on the floor
"what happened ?"
Holly shook her head bending down to join Andy in picking up the mess "Gail Peck happened " she sulked " what's with her "?
Andy shook her head " nothing has to be wrong for Gail for her to be in a bad mood " she smiled handing over the messed up files " here "
" Thanks " Holly smiled then frowned at the mess of all her hard work " can you direct me to Traci "?
Andy pointed in the direction Gail headed " Great " Holly nodded saying goodbye to Andy
As Holly entered the bullpen she Instantly noticed Gail at a computer with a face like thunder
"Hey Holly " Traci grinned " nice and early just the way I like it "
Holly nodded " yeah well .. I would have been here earlier , if Gail here hadn't walked straight into me and sent my files flying every where leaving me to pick them up "
"What ? Gail ?" Traci fumed
" What ?" Gail barked refusing to look at Holly
" You didn't think to help " Traci asked " or apologise ?"
Gail rolled her eyes tutting " it was an accident "
Holly narrowed her eyes " really ?, she fumed "And you didn't think to stop and help me? it's gonna take me ages to work this out , to put this case back in order "
Gail got off her chair grabbing her mug " well I'm sure you can flutter your eyelashes and get someone to do it for you "
Gail ?" Traci gasped her jaw almost hitting the floor .
" Its ok Traci " Holly said watching Gail walk away
"No " Traci shook her head " no it isn't , I don't know what's gotten into her "
Holly shrugged " c'mon let's sort this mess out"
Gail stood making a cup of coffee, kicking herself for being such an idiot .
"Gail " came a voice from behind her
" Oh god " Gail sulked rolling her eyes " please not today " she whispered
" I have been calling you darling " Elaine peck moaned " why are you ignoring me "?
" Hello mother " Gail sighed turning to face her worst nightmare .
"Gail"? Sweetheart you look a mess"
" Thanks " Gail said sarcastically
" What's with the bags under your eyes "? Are you not sleeping well "? Are you eating right "? Elaine rambled on holding her daughters chin in her hand " your roots need attending too "
"Mom " Gail moaned waving her mothers hand away
" Gail you need to take better care of yourself darling , what will people Think ?"
Gail just sighed heavily, today wasn't the day to be hearing what a let down she is to her mother .
" What are you doing here ?"
Elaine was still looking unimpressed at her daughter " I have a meeting with detective Nash and Doctor Stewart " have you lost weight "?
" what "? Gail panicked , Holly was about to meet her mother ? "Great" she thought to herself .
" I said have you lost weight ?" And it's not what , it's pardon " Elaine moaned " you look like you have , it's living in that smelly old apartment, with those men-child's you call friends "
" Ok Mom it was lovely as always . But Im on the desk so I need to get back to work , "
" Yes well if you would just take the detective rotation you would have more pressing things to deal with " Elaine bitched.
Gail bit her tongue , her Mother just couldn't help herself
" bye Mom " Gail called out as she left Elaine standing alone .
Gail preyed Elaine wouldn't show her true colours in front of Holly.
"Apologies for my lateness " Elaine stated as she walking into Traci's office not bothering to knock .
Doctor Stewart I presume?" she adds holding her hand out for Holly to take .
Holly shook her hand firmly " Nice to meet you Doctor , I've heard great things"
" Thank you " was all Holly replied . She wanted to return the compliment but unfortunately she hadn't heard any thing nice about the women standing before her .
Infact she heard she was a hard nosed bitch who was all about the job. She also heard that this women was the type to chew you up and spit you out , not afraid to offend or upset ,"Apple didn't fall far from the tree " the Doctor had thought ..
" shell we get down to business "
The meeting had lasted well over 2 hours , Gail had returned to her desk to finish up some paper work.
Once the 3 women exited the room Gail couldn't help but feel a little sick,
" Gail " Elaine called out " I'm leaving now sweetheart, I will remind you that we are having a party on Saturday and I expect you to be there ."
Gail puffed out her cheeks keeping quiet
" I hope to god you're going to do something with your hair "
Holly watched on , she remembered Gail telling her how her mother never said anything nice to her . How she found everything and anything to complain about . Part of Holly felt sorry for the blonde say in front of her.
" Traci your'll be there with Steven won't you ?"
Traci forced a smile " uh yeah of coarse
Elaine turned her attention to Holly giving her the once over " if your not busy Doctor Stewart I would love you to attend , Traci can give you the details "
Gail frowned " for god sake " she muttered
" Oh uh .. I ... Uh " the brunette stuttered
" that's settled then " Elaine smiled " we will see each other again on Saturday .
Elaine leans into her daughter " you see how Doctor Stewart presents herself "? It doesn't take much to look your best Gail , take notes "
Gail closed her eyes for a split second thankful that her Mother had left
"You ok "? Holly asked
Gail felt embarrassed , " peachy"
Traci shook her head . She was angry that Gail was being such a bitch , she knew she was having a hard time coming to terms with her feelings for the Doctor , but the way she was behaving was not acceptable .
" I'll walk you out Holly " she smiled " what is with you " she mouthed behind Holly's back As the left ..
Gail didn't care at the moment in time her mother had pissed her off and she wasn't in no mood to care who she upset and that included Holly ..
Gail ?" Traci called out as she returned " office ? Now ! "
Gail exhaled heavily pushing herself away from her desk walking into the detectives office .
" yeah ok ok I'm a brat "
" stop talking " Traci shouted " what you did today was uncalled for Gail, I don't care what you're going though right now , you don't bring it to work , you've treated Holly so badly "
Gail licked her bottom lip sucking it into her mouth " It was a couple of files trac.. Let's not get to carried away"
Traci shook her head crossing her arms " no ! that's not what this is " this is about you Gail ' and your inability to be honest with people, honest with yourself ' You're pissed that Holly might be dating Officer Luck,and because of that your being a complete bitch to her "
" Ok Oprah " Gail teased rolled her eyes " I appreciate this pep talk I really do , but it's not needed, now if you don't mind I have shit to do " And with that Gail was gone ..
Traci scratched her head trying to work out what was happening to her friend ?
