13. pushed

Johnny D is back. Its been a headache for Barba who has calling Peña to rant about it to her for days. Especially this morning when he got her coffee on her way to work. The case has been a big pain in the ass for Rafa.

"Hey hey!" Rollins hollers as Peña walks in. "Slept in sleeping beauty?"

"Barba kept me away, talking about the Johnny D thing." She goes to her desk, putting away her bag and coat away. "Liv here?"

"In the office." The team were getting suspicious of Peña's daily visits with Liv. Not even Sonny knew. He asked about the talk she had with her and all she said it was nothing to worry about.

"Hi! Got a second?" Peña walks in.

"Please, come in." She closes the door. "So?"

"I thought about it..." Peña smiles. "Im willing to give it another shot. Im ready to take the test this week, my exam day is Wednesday, since the deadline is Friday." Liv smiles. "I don't want any special treatment or favors, let me redo the exam and we can see from there."

"Well, im glad." Liv stands up. "You will do amazing things here as Sargent."

"I hope. Its a new start for me, hopefully all goes well."

"Well I wish you luck on the exam."

"Same to you, Lieutenant." Jocelyn winks as she leaves the office.

Jocelyn sat in the break room during her little break, reading, more like refreshing her memory, for the exam. She highlighted the pages, sipping on her coffee.

"Whats this?" Sonny sits next to her, taking a peek.

"Just refreshing the old mind." Sonny takes the book from her hand. He smirks. "Go on, say it."

"Sargent Jocey Peña." He says aloud, Jocelyn shushes him, wanting to keep his voice down. "It does have a nice ring to it."

"Don't say anything, im going to take the exam and we will see where I land."

"You did this before?"

"I was on the top three at my old place." Jensen was just below it.

"Well, if you need a study partner, im here. I can help."

"I bet you can." She smiles, taking back to the book. "You will be expecting a call from me." They went out of the room and head back to the bullpen.

"Oh good, you're all here." Liv walks in. "So i just met with Barba, the judge threw out Johnny D's motion. So it looks like we'll be going to trial in a few days." Hooray for trial time.

"Youre not going to testify, are you?" Amaro asks Liv.

"I have to. I was first one on scene."
