The Rookie one-shots

'Perfect'

You sat behind the processing desk waiting for other officers to come in with arrest. You sat at the computer scrolling endlessly on some wack news article going on about your incident.

"L/n!" Grey yells as he walks in. Your head shoots up and you make eye contact with him.

"Yes?" You say hopeful that you are getting move positions for the day.

"I hope you are staying focused." He says looking at your screen

"What do you expect? I'm stuck at the station all day. I should be out there." You say

"I want you to stay focused and stop looking at the news." He looks at you sternly "it doesn't ever help to read what the politics say about a case"

"This one isn't that far off." You say sarcastically scrolling to the spot. "Oh hear this, Officer l/n is supposedly no longer allowed to work for the LAPD after shooting a citizen three times in the chest." You read off of the pages

"Oh very interesting. Now get back to work. Lopez and west are bringing in a felony arrest." Grey says walking away.

"Great." You say getting ready

They walk in with the guy and you start to take his pictures. "Ok now turn to the right" you say and the guy turns to the left. "Ok great now how about this time your RIGHT." You say again. The guy turns to face you again. "Dude just turn to face those lockers." You say pointing to the right." He finally does and you snap his picture. "Alright Lopez he is all done here." You say sitting back down.

"Jackson put him in a holding cell." Angela says as she walks to you.

"What do you need." You ask

"I just need the paperwork for that guy but you seem especially bored today." She says as you print off her papers

"Yeah it's pretty boring in here. Not much is happening." You hand her the paperwork.

"Bummer. Any news on when you can get back out." She asks

"Nothing. Public believes I practically killed the guy but ya know." You say

"But we all know you didn't. So hang in there." She says walking out with Jackson filling her. "Yeah y/n we will try and get lots of arrest today so you won't be bored here." Jackson says

"Thanks" you say laughing a bit

Time passes by slower than ever and when you look at your watch one hour as barley passed by. "L/n I need you" Grey says from his office

"Great." You say walking over to him. "Yes?"

"Your guy is still at the hospital but is almost back to full health." Grey says as support as he could

"So I can get back on patrol." You ask

"No. You know the consequences of going on patrol during something like this." He says "but it shouldn't be too much longer. Unless of course he sues you then."

"That would suck." You say

"I have my fingers crossed for you." Great say

"Thanks but it's probably not worth it. We still can't prove him guilty so I practically shot an innocent man." You say

"Yes out of self defense and protection of a citizen. Hang in there and get back to work." He says as you walk back to the processing station taking every moment in before you walking back into your little hell hole.

Lopez and Jackson walking in with two guys they arrested. Jackson has got a pretty gnarly goose egg on his forehead and a black eye.
