"Be safe"

Warning: I watch the rookie only since 5x09 and I haven't really finished every seasons so I'm sorry I'm not a professional about the characters and their ways of talking yet :)

Tim and lucy are in bed at Lucy's place, she's in his arms, wrapped like an honeymoon night when
"Beep beep beep" [lucy's alarm's ringing]
Tim wakes up first and shut it off
"What the hell is that" He asks
Lucy wakes up hearing his voice 

"Oh no did my alarm rang ?" She says
"Yeah I'm pretty sure all the building heard it" He says
Lucy gets out of bed immediately to dress up
"Oh I'm sorry I needed to be sure I'll wake up but you can sleep I'll try to leave quietly" She says
"No but what we are you doing, it's the middle of the night, come back to bed" He says

She takes second to sit next to him on the bed
"I'm sorry I got an op today I..I can't really tell you but I promise I'll be back tonight" She says lowering her voice
"What op ? You didn't talk about an op last night, what is it ?" He asks annoyed but also kinda worried
"Like I said I'm sorry I can't tell you right now... just trust me" She says looking right through his eyes and holding his hands
He roll his eyes
"Okay but come back with me just a minute" He says taking her back in bed in his arms
"Tim !! I'm gonna be late" She says laughing
"I don't care" He says with his big smile on his face 

They stare at each other...
Like if the time was stopping,
just the two of them,
wrapped body against body,
he kiss her,
once,
twice
"Okay now I gotta go" She says smiling
"Okay alright" He says letting her getting out of bed

She's opening the door, leaving the bedroom when Tim says
"Hey, Lucy" 

She turns back, looks at him 

"Be safe" He says with so much intensity in his eyes, it wasn't ily but same emotion in the room
"Promise" She says and leave the room

He just take a deep breathe take Lucy's side in the bed and try to get back to sleep

The day get going, Tim joins his metro teammates, starts training again and again.

It's 2pm when they're called on an hostage situation in Long Beach, they take down the suspect when Tim get a phone call from Grey

"Hey it's wade" Grey says
"Hey's what's wrong ?" Tim asks
"Something is going on with Lucy I'm sorry she asked everyone to keep you in the dark but if it was my wife I'd like to know" He says
"Yeah yeah tell me" Tim says
"Not on phone, meet me at the station in 20, you should take your day off" Grey  says
"Alright, on my way" He answers

"What's going on Bradford ?" One of his teammates asks
"Nothing just personal stuff, I'm sorry I gotta go just send me the report, you're in charge for today alright ?" Tim says leaving to his car

20 minutes later

Tim arrives at the station and sees Grey with Angela talking on the outside

"Hey what's going on ?" He asks worries AS HELL
"I should leave, call me if you need anything Tim, okay ?" Angela says leaving to her car with Nyla inside

Tim and Grey walks in to get to his office

Nyla: "do you think he is gonna be okay ?" She asks
"Honestly I don't know, after what happened with Caleb he tortured himself for weeks thinking it was his fault. Now they're together, I can't imagine how he's gonna react" Angela answers

In Grey's office 

"I'm sorry I called without telling you anything but it's for her safety" Grey says
"Okay but now I wanna know what's GOING ON" Tim says
"Lucy has been contacted by the DEA few days ago to infiltrate a gang across the border, it was supposed to be quick and safe because another UC is already infiltrated and trusted by the cartel for years."

"So what's the problem ?" Tim asks overwhelmed
"The problem is... she couldn't have any emergency exit, any phone, mic or any way of communication with us. That was the deal and she accepted it" Grey says
"Looks what's the point here I don't get it ?" Tim asks annoyed
"She was supposed to finished the op and take down the men 2 hours ago after a deal in San Diego but they never showed up" Grey says
"So where is she ?" Tim asks
"We don't know" grey answers
"You don't know ?, are you serious ?"

Tim says really annoyed

"Look, I have every men looking for her there, her cover can't be compromise, they trust her so it's a matter of hours before they try another spot" Grey says

"Send me her last location, you were right, I take the day off" He says leaving the room
"Tim..." Grey says trying to follow him

Tim walks outside and see Angela waiting for him

He's trying to get his car when she says
"Hey Tim, Tim what are you doing ?" She  asks

"I'm getting Lucy back in my own way" He says getting in the car

"Hey hey it's a very bad idea and you know it, so let's just talk about it and wait before she shows up again" She says through the open window

"I'm going so it's either you get in or step out of the car now" He says with his Tim way of talking yk

"Okay I'm getting in, I'm getting in" She says and get in the car

They leave the parking lot

"So what's the plan now ?" She asks

"I have no idea" He answers
