Chapter 3

The car ride back to the station was pretty uneventful. Sam was sitting in the passenger's seat and I could see him staring out the window, he looked deep in thought. Jack Boyko, a fellow officer and one of my dad's friends was driving the car.

"Hey Boyko," I broke the silence, "Can you turn some tunes on?" I put on a giant smile as he looked at me through the rearview mirror. Sam looked at me and I made a face at him. He chuckled.

"Drea, when you stop riding in the back seat then you can put music on." He replied. I scoffed at that. We arrived at the police station a couple minutes later. Boyko and Swarek exited the cruiser, leaving me in the back seat. Sam opened my door and helped me out.

"Why thank you kind sir." I said in a fake British accent. He smirked at me.

"No problem, mi lady." He said too quiet for Boyko to hear. He grabbed a hold of my arm, you know those times when people say they felt a spark when someone touches them, well they are crazy. The only way there could actually be a spark is if an electrical charge passed through them. Other than that it's just their imagination. When Sam touched my arm I could feel a fire burning inside of me. He led me to the door that enters the booking room.

"Swarek, I need you to go help Best in the bull pen searching for the other two suspects." No other that my father, Tommy McNally told him. Sam turned towards me one last time and nodded his head and left.

"Andrea McNally, what do you think you are doing?" I winced at the use of my full name.

"Well I seem to be heading towards the booking room." I retorted. Boyko had just gotten a promotion to Staff Sergeant so he now made a lot of decisions.

"Drea, I think we need to have a serious talk here." Boyko said. He led me towards his office. My dad following behind us. ". Drea, I know you are a good kid. I don't want you to waste your life on a couple mistakes. I know you must be going through a tough time but this has got to stop. Your dad and I have been talking and we have come up with two options for you."

"Drea, either you go to jail for 5 years for breaking and entering or you sign up and attend the Police Academy in 10 months' time." My dad said. I nodded along. Since I was a little girl all I ever wanted to be was a police officer. I still want to be one but I figured with my record it wouldn't be possible.

"But wouldn't my record stop me from getting in?" I asked.

"We have talked to some people there and they have agreed to the deal. You have to keep straight from now on. This is your last chance to McNally. If you screw up that's it. I will give you a week to decide what to do." I nodded.

"Thanks." I mumbled. I walked out of Boyko's office and headed out. I walked 15 minutes until I reached my house. I spent the next few hours trying to think of what to do.

It was the Tuesday after the October long weekend. School is starting back up today. I spend the weekend making my decision, I figured if I was going to go for it I could at least try and attend school to get into good habits. I had a shower and got dressed into my favourite outfit; My retro 1980's red plaid mini skirt, my black t-shirt with a rib cage and a red heart in it, my black leather knee high boots, I paired it with my luck silver Celtic knot pentagram pendant and a black leather band bracelet. I went downstairs grabbed a quick breakfast and my backpack and headed out the door for school.

I arrived at school just in time for first period Physics to start. The class was pretty easy, I always had a knack for physics.

"Would all grade 11 and 12 students please report to the auditorium for a presentation." The principal's voice said over the intercom. I grabbed my bag and headed for the auditorium.

"Drea… Drea… Drea.." I heard my name being chanted by my boys. The caught up to me and I gave them both a hug. We walked into the gym, I was walking backwards.

"We heard the coppers caught up to you?" Rhys said.

"Yeah, it was no problem guys. Got let out with a slap on the wrist nothing even went on my record." I said.

"Dude that's awesome." Mark said with his eyes really wide and his hands up n the air. I couldn't help but laugh. All of the sudden I walked into something hard.

"Oh My God, I'm so sorry." I said
