The REAL rookie ( The Rookie TV Show )

-13- Another death .

3rd person's P.O.V.

The drive while I patrol was dead silent between Tim and Olivia .

Her mind keeps drifting to the greenlight of Nolan .

" Will he be okay ? " she kept asking herself .

"Boot . Boot ! " Tim said , trying to get the attention oh his rookie .

" Uhh sorry , yes ." She responded , snapping herself out of her thoughts .

" You can't drift off during shift ! How many times did I tell you that ? " He asked angrily.

Olivia kept her head to the solid ground of their shop .

Today , captain Andersen decided to be on patrol with Nolan. Which made it even more dangerous to the captain's life .

" 7-adam-9 , neighbour heard shouting , in ... street ." Len radioed in

" 7-adam-15 , show us responding , en route , 2 minutes . " A voice that was probably Nolan's responded .

" Look at that one ." Olivia said , signaling at a suspicious looking guy who was holding a backpack on the side of the road .

Tim pulled to the side of the road and turned on his lights .

But as soon as the guy saw us , he immediately ran to the other way .

His actions led Olivia to follow him , trying to catch the suspicious looking guy .

" 7-adam-19 , suspect running to ... street ." She radioed in while still running tiredly .

Suddenly the guy paused for a second . There was a shop who stopped right in front of him .

" Police ! " Angela said as she pointed her gun at him after opening her window .

Olivia was too distracted that she bumped into the guy , leading them to be on the ground with her on top .

" Sir , you are under arrest , let me check your bag ." She said while chuffing him and placing him down .

When she opened the bag , she found what looked like kilos of drugs .

" 7-adam-19 , suspect in custody ." She radioed as she pulled the guy up .

After a " thank you " and a " see you later " , Olivia started leading the guy to Tim's shop .

----------<->----------

" 7-adam-15 ... , suspect down , not breathing ... and officer down , also not breathing , house number ... on ... street . "

Olivia paused , it was Nolan's voice , and captain Andersen is , with him .

That only meant one thing .

As they sped through the streets , going to the location Nolan said , their minds kept thinking the same thing .

When they arrived , a dozen of shops were in front of the house .

They rapidly went through the garden's doors .

Olivia's P.O.V.

My heart sank as I saw Nolan .

There was a body in his lap .

And not just any body , but my captain's body .

I pulled my hand to my face , clearing the view of her being dead in front of me .

I started crying , I was devestated . I already lost 6 lives , and I cannot lose another .

But it turned to 7 .

Sergeant Grey escorted most of us out as professionals came in .

I stood in the line of officers , waiting for her body to pass by .

" Officers , arms ." Sergeant Grey said and we all placed our hands .

The body went by , and I was only looking at the American flag that was covering her .

Nolan came from behind the people who pushed her body .

I was looking blankly at the flag , not saying a word to show respect .

I was shocked and sad and disappointed at the same time .

I couldn't express my feelings in these situations , nothing .

" Boot . Boot ! " I heard from beside me and snapped , only to see Tim .

He was staring at me , with his small , concerned eyes .

" Yeah ? " I said without moving any muscles except my eyes .

" You need to place your hand down ." He explained .

I immediately placed my hand down , feeling embarrassment wash over me .

I mumbled a " sorry " and went to the passenger seat of the shop , waiting for him to drive us .

Tim got in the shop and started the engines , without saying a word .

The drive was mostly silent , but at the end of the ride he asked in a soft voice :

" Are you okay ?"

" Yeah , why wouldn't i be ?" I asked but I knew I was lying to myself .

" You just saw two dead bodies of people you care about in a month and lost another person ." He explained , trying to explain the situation in a not so aggressive tone .

" I didn't see it in that way ." I mumbled , almost whispered .

He didn't say anything but just got out of the shop and went inside the department . Probably to the lockers .

I went to the ladies restroom and tomorrow I have the day off , since I was going to get some furniture for the baby .

I decided not to call Sergeant Grey to go tomorrow , because he was probably really busy .

I just changed into the clothes I came in in the morning and headed out .

I walked into a sad looking Jackson , it wasn't the first time I saw him sad , but this time , he's looking strange .

" Hey ." I greeted , but his face looked even more sad when he heard my voice .

" Hey , umm , can we meet tomorrow ? Let's go to the park next to my house . " he continued his sentence as I nodded .

I went to kiss him on the lips , but when our lips met , he went back almost immediately .

I was concerned as I walked towards my house .

I didn't call an uber because I realised it was cheaper and better to walk to work or back home .

I was staring at a rock I was kicking as my thoughts kept eating me .

" is my life going to always be like this ? Am I going to lose many people that I care about ? Am I going to see more dead bodies ? "

There was only one way to find out .

It is to keep going .
