Tim and Lucy were laying in bed sleeping. It was around 12:30 when Lucy's phone started to ring.
"Who is that?" Tim asked.
"I don't know. Go back to sleep," she said.
He went back to sleep while she answered the call.
"Chen. How can I help?" she asked.
"I will be home soon. I am at the bar behind 8th street," Noah said and hung up.
Lucy jumped out of bed and got dressed. She went over to her safe to grab her off duty gun. She was about to leave the room when she saw Tim sitting up.
"What is going on?" he said while putting on his shoes.
"A friend that I went to UC school called and needs a cover op. He is at the bar on 8th street. I will be back in an hour tops," she said.
"I am coming with you for backup," he said.
They took Tim's truck. Lucy was driving and Tim was in the back seat so that they would not see him in case things went bad. They arrived there and Lucy jumped out the car.
"No No. I am home with 2 sick kids and you are here at the bar without me, let alone with hybrid trash white boys," Lucy screamed.
"Really man. You are really going to let your baby momma talk to you like this?" the man said.
"Did I stutter?" Lucy asked.
"Man. I need to get her home. Can I meet you tomorrow?" Noah asked.
"Yeah," the man said while getting in his car and driving away.
"The coast is clear," Lucy said.
Tim got out the car and made sure Lucy was okay.
"I am surprised that you got backup that fast," Noah said.
"I mean it helped that he was in my bed," Lucy said.
"I never introduced myself. I am Noah Foster," he said.
"Tim Bradford."
"Oh. You are that Bradford!"
"What does that mean?"
"She talked about you constantly when we were in training. I thought she was dating you at first but that is when she was dating her ex."
Noah told Tim one of the stories about training after he told them about what he was undercover.
"Well it was nice to see you Hot Pants and meeting you Bradford."
They all left and after Tim and Lucy got back to her apartment, all Tim could think about is her being called Hot Pants. Why is that her nickname?
"Hey babe. Why is your nickname Hot Pants?"
"It's because I was the smartest one there and was always first in my trainings. All I could think about is the lessons you taught me as a rookie which helped a whole lot."
They both went to bed and helped Noah finish his case. Tim was super proud of her with how she had a great reputation at UC school. He was also proud that she remembered and used the lessons from his tests.
