Between love and secrets - Tim Bradford

the new man

Me and Tim Bradford are receiving an emergency call. The mission took us to a busy street in downtown Los Angeles. The traffic was heavy and there was a hustle and bustle. Suddenly we heard the emergency call over the police radio about a serious traffic accident that had happened just a few streets away. We immediately accelerated and switched on the blue lights and the siren to get to the scene of the accident as quickly as possible. Tim maintained control of the vehicle while I checked the information on the laptop in the squad car to learn more about the accident. Information that reached us was sparse, but we knew multiple vehicles were involved in the accident and there was at least one seriously injured person. The exact cause of the accident was still unclear. When we reached the scene of the accident, we saw a chaotic picture. Two cars had collided head-on and debris was strewn across the street. Passers-by had already tried to help the injured, but they urgently needed medical expertise. We got out of the patrol car and rushed to the scene of the accident. Tim secured the scene and diverted traffic while I immediately attended to the seriously injured young man lying on the sidewalk. His car was badly damaged and he was trapped inside before being extricated. His leg was apparently broken and his arm was severely cut. He was bleeding profusely and his pain was clearly visible. I checked his condition and tried to calm him down. "Everything will be fine, we're here to help you," I told him calmly, stopping the bleeding in his arm and putting a temporary splint on his leg. The casualty was conscious but obviously in shock. I tried to keep him awake and to ask questions to learn more about his condition and the exact circumstances of the accident. Meanwhile, the paramedics had reached the scene and assisted me in treating the injured person. They prepared him for transport to the hospital where he would immediately receive further medical attention. After the injured person was taken away, Tim and I spoke to witnesses and gathered information about the accident. It turned out that one of the drivers ran a red light and caused the accident. It was terrible negligence that led to this tragic event. We took down what the witnesses had to say and carefully documented the scene of the accident. We knew that the investigation would continue to clarify the exact circumstances and determine who was responsible for the accident. It was a tough operation that moved us all deeply. The scene of the accident was cleared and we returned to the station to write our report and discuss the incident. The accident reminded us how fragile life is and how important it is to act carefully and responsibly. In the afternoon of the same On the day that the serious traffic accident took place, I decide to pay a visit to the hospital to check on the injured young man. I am haunted by concern for his well-being, and I want to make sure he is better. I leave the LAPD building and make my way to the hospital. The drive there feels endless as my thoughts keep wandering to the young man and his injury. I finally arrive at the hospital and rush to get to his ward. I ask the nurse at reception about his condition and she explains that he has stabilized after the doctors treated him but is still in shock. I thank the nurse and make my way to his room . When I open the door, I find the young man resting and surrounded by monitors. His condition seems better than before, but he's still weak and injured. "Hey, how are you?" I ask quietly, pulling a chair over to sit by his bed. He looks at me, and a faint smile crosses his face. "Better, thanks," he replies in a low voice. "I'm glad you're feeling better. You were really lucky to get help so quickly," I say, trying to encourage him. He nods slightly and then says, "Thank you for taking care of me when the accident happened. You were so calm and level-headed, that really helped me.

"I smile softly and say, 'It's my job to help and protect people. I'm glad I was able to assist you in this situation."We chat for a while and I listen to him carefully as he talks about the accident and how he's been doing for the past few hours. It's important for him to talk about what he has experienced and I would like to offer him my support. As visiting hours come to an end, I say goodbye to him for the time being and assure him that I will come back to check on him. As I leave the hospital, I feel I am a mixture of relief and concern.It is good to know that the young man is recovering, but I also know that he still has a long way to go in recovery.I return to LAPD with my mind still on the injured.My colleagues can tell that I am thoughtful, but I am grateful that I was able to help him and that he is in good hands.The time at the LAPD may be demanding and challenging, but there are also moments of connection and humanity, who make our work fulfilling.That evening I'm going to a bar to relax a bit after a hard day in the hospital. I immediately notice how the soft lighting and soft music create a relaxing atmosphere. I find myself a seat at the bar and order a drink to get away from the stress of the day in the hospital. As I enjoy my drink, I catch a glimpse of a young man looking at me from the corner of my eye. He has a charming smile and his eyes sparkle with curiosity. Our eyes meet several times, and I smile back to let him know I've noticed his interest. Eventually, the young man plucks up courage and approaches me. He introduces himself as Alex and we quickly strike up a conversation. He's outgoing and relaxed, which puts me at ease and helps me feel comfortable around him. We have lively conversations about various topics, and I can tell we have some chemistry. Alex is funny and insightful, and I can't deny that I enjoy his company. However, as we chat, I can't help my mind from wandering to Tim Bradford. He's become my instructor at LAPD and a close confidant. Our relationship is complicated and I don't know how to deal with my budding feelings for him. Nevertheless, I decide to give the moment with Alex a chance and take my mind off my worries. We laugh a lot and have a good time together. As the night progresses, Alex suggests that we could meet again at a later date. I hesitate for a moment, but then agree. Maybe it's a way to distract myself and figure out what I really want.

As I'm on my way home after the nice chat with Alex, it suddenly occurs to me that I forgot something important in the LAPD building. It's getting late, but I decide to go back and get it. My heart is beating slightly with excitement as I make the short walk to the LAPD building. As I enter the building, I immediately notice that something is different. There is an unfamiliar silence and the light seems dim. I'm wondering what's going on here when suddenly my colleagues step out of the shadows and shout "Surprise!" shout. I'm completely taken by surprise and don't immediately understand what's going on here. Then I slowly realize that my colleagues organized a surprise party for me. It's my birthday and they managed to keep it a secret from me. Tears of emotion well up in my eyes as I see all the familiar faces of my colleagues gathered around me. They hung garlands and balloons and placed a birthday cake in the center of the room. "Happy Birthday!" they all chorus, and I am overwhelmed by their love and care. I am touched that you went to the trouble of organizing this surprise party for me, even though we all know how hectic and demanding our work at the LAPD can be. I take turns hugging my colleagues and thanking them for this special gesture . The joy and gratitude in my eyes are unmistakable. Together we celebrate my birthday in the LAPD building. It's a happy and warm atmosphere and I feel lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people.Tim Bradford is there too and personally wishes me a happy birthday. His smile is warm and kind, and I can feel my heart rejoicing. It's a special moment that I will cherish as the evening draws to a close, I'm thankful for this unexpected and heartwarming moment. I go home filled with joy and happiness, knowing that I am in exactly the right place in my professional and personal life.
