"I was," Lucy begins, her voice shaking as she looks back at Tim, "stuck with a hypodermic needle this morning, and I need to get my blood tested."
Gino's eyes alternate between the two officers as he parts his lips to say, "Oh! Yeah um..of course! Just give me one sec."
He rummages through the clutter on his desk to find a clipboard of paperwork.
"Ah! Here it is," he mumbles. "Take a seat in the waiting room as you fill this out, and a doctor should be right with you."
Lucy nods as she takes a step back and glances at Tim, his jaw clenched.
"You must be new," he barks.
Lucy puts a hand on his arm and mutters, "Tim—"
He holds up a hand to hush her.
"It is hospital protocol for an on-duty officer to be seen 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. What if she sits down and someone tries to lunge for her weapon?" Tim asserts as Gino looks up nervously. "Set her up in a room right now and find a doctor," Tim snarls.
"Of course. Of all people, this had to happen to me," Lucy mumbles to herself, tears forming in her eyes. She takes out her phone as she ponders every "What if?" in the universe.
"I'm sorry about earlier," Gino mutters, "I..I didn't know." Tim meets his eyes and nods subtly, patting his shoulder.
Lucy doesn't look up as she hears the door open, engulfed in the worst case scenario. Tim peers at her, snatching the phone from her hand.
"Falling down the WebMD rabbit hole?" he teases gently. She avoids his eyes as a tear falls from her cheek onto her thigh. Tim places her phone next to her. He hesitates before holding both of her hands in his, causing her to look up at him in confusion.
"You're gonna be fine, Boot," he assures.
Lucy's eyebrows furrow slightly as she sighs and looks down at her knees.
Tim chuckles softly, "Lucy," he corrects as she meets his eyes again, "everything will be fine."
He rubs his thumb over hers and holds eye contact, a soft smile on his face. The corners of her mouth turn upward ever so slightly as her cheeks flush. He slowly lets go of her hands and exits the room.
