"7-Adam-15 in pursuit of a white Honda Civic! Heading west towards Main Street!" Olivia radioed as she quickly made a left turn, almost hitting a parked car.

"Watch it boot!" Officer Smith groaned as he made sure his seat belt was still on just in case Olivia crashed their shop.

"I got it!" Olivia rolled her eyes at his dramatics and continued chasing the driving down the road, moving left and right behind cars so she didn't hit anyone.

"Turn here, cut him off!" Officer Smith spoke loudly, so that Olivia was able to hear him clearly.

Olivia was taken back for a second, shocked that he gave her help.

"Did you just give me advice?" Olivia turned her head to look at the older man.

Officer Smith looked at his boot like she was crazy for taking her eyes off the road. "Just shut up and turn!" He yelled.

Olivia laughed and quickly turned the wheel causing them to do a donut before she got back on track and headed down the short cut so she was able to cut the car off and make her arrest.

Olivia, Jackson, John, and Lucy all decided it was the perfect weather to get some exercise. So they went to the beach and worked on their cardio, so they were able to pass their fitness test and to stay in shape for the job.

"Smith is driving me insane." Olivia complained to Jackson as she ran next to him, seeing as he was the only one who could actually keep pace with her the whole time.

Running is something Olivia does in her off time for fun; ever since she was a kid. Running was an escape for what was happening in her daily life, so she never stopped.

"How so?" Jackson asked as he glanced over at his friend, before paying attention to the path in front of him.

"He's been a complete jerk like Lucy's training officer since day one. Which is fine because they feel the need to state who's in charge and blah blah blah. But then he started playing these games where he creates scenarios to see what I would do instead of letting the world actually play out how it's supposed to. Now he decides to help me today?" Olivia flipped her hands in the air and back down.

She started to pick up the pace the more into her little speech she got causing Jackson to groan slightly but stayed by her side.

"So you're angry that he helped you?" Jackson asked as he looked over at Olivia confused.

"No. I don't know. I just don't want him helping me because of the captain." Olivia sighed out. "We ran into each other after our shift and he spoke in stupid Morse code like my mom-I mean captain Anderson told him to be careful when training me and do it like it's supposed to be done."

"Is that really a bad thing?" Jackson asked.

He understood where the girl was coming from, but Olivia has had it out for her mom as long as Jackson has known her.

He didn't really understand where all the anger was coming from. Olivia never really talked about it with him or anyone else.

Olivia scoffed at Jackson and didn't even bother staying with him, so she ran off faster and ran up behind John and Lucy.

"We didn't come here to walk!" Olivia shouted as she ran in between the two and continuing down the beach alone.

"What was that?" Lucy asked as she let out a breathless laugh.

"I have a feeling she's pissed off." John answered as he watch Olivia run off into the distance.

"Maybe we should talk to her?" Lucy suggested.

John look at Lucy then at Olivia who was no longer in eye distance. "How about later tonight?" John asked his face getting red, knowing he wasn't going to be able to catch up to the girl on foot.

Lucy nodded as a smile broke through on her face. "It's time to run, Officer Nolan. Let's go!" Lucy laughed as she started running off leaving Nolan standing there.

"Oh! Be right there. I'm just gonna stretch a little more."
