"-i don't know because i know that peaches knows how to open the door but i don't think he'd do it in front of chip and cupcake because he knows that they're not allowed to know!" penelope rambled, leaning against the podium type structure at the front of the break room. she wasn't sure how it'd happened but sargent grey was stood in front of her, a bored expression on his face as she explained her predicament "long story short, i think my door handle is broken" she nodded sorrowfully.

all grey did was stare at her, slightly bewildered "sit down, officer valentine" he ordered.

"oh right, yes sir" penny stuttered. she did so just as tim walked into the room, getting greeted by applause and cheering from almost everyone in the room.

looking around annoyed, tim noticed that penny was the only one staying relatively quiet. penny just sat smiling at him, only clapping when another officer gave her a dirty look after noticing her silence. tim stepped over to his chair, pulling it out to find an inflatable orthopedic pillow on the seat. he then picked it up with a tired sigh and popped the item with his pen.

"all right, all right, all right. settle down, settle down. let's get to it. you ready, officer nolan?" grey teased the older rookie "cause once again, we start with you"

"i'm flattered?" nolan joked.

"don't be. yesterday, a four-man crew disguised as zombies knocked over a cash advance near pico and robertson. so, officers bishop and nolan were able to apprehend two of the criminals, while the other two escaped" the sergeant told the events in a story like fashion "somehow, officer nolan managed to let a civilian steal ten grand in already stolen cash. luckily, CCTV captured our thief. still waiting on an I.D"

"uh, he plays guitar, if that helps" nolan added, making penny roll her eyes.

"absolutely, cause they always list special talents on your rap sheet"

before the two men's annoying banter could continue, captain andersen strode into the room. she went on to welcome tim back and notify the room of officers about a chain of robberies before grey assigned nolan a drive along, dismissing the room soon after.

penny and tim had walked to their patrol car in silence, penelope only speaking up when tim started opening the drivers side door "are you sure you don't want me to drive?" she asked, knowing that his response would probably be something snarky or sarcastic.

"why would i want that, doc? you think i'd come back on duty before i was 100%?"

"yes, sir" she nodded, not thinking but knowing that tim would most definitely come back on duty without being 100%. he was definitely the type. "i do"

"well i wouldn't" he glared sharply, trying to make penny move to her side of the car "you're still looking me like your expecting something, doc. do you think simply doing your job during a firefight means you get special treatment?"

"no, sir. i don't"

"you'll drive when you've earned it"

"yes, sir. it's good to have you back"

"damn straight" he grumbled, swinging the drivers car door open and seating himself, about to close the door but pausing when penelope began speaking again.

"but when you start to feel achy, which you will, tell me and i'll drive for a bit?" she compromised, watching as he completely ignored her response "okay?" she clarified, refusing to get in the car until she got the answer she wanted.
