Desire - TB

Chapter 7

It had been a couple of weeks since Tim had been shot and he was finally returning to work after a long boring recovery. Tim wasn't used to not doing anything, he could only watch so much football. Throughout his recovery Isabelle had text him multiple times to check how he was, even bullying him on occasions. Tim was grateful for the women, she kept him sane during the boring days.

Isabelle was happy with how much her life was coming together. Angela, Nyla and even Tim had grown to the idea of the women, now becoming some of Isabelle's closest friends. She still had a soft spot for the rookies though, they always came to her for advice, work or personal. Elijah was thriving in school and at home, his speaking becoming so much better and clearer. She felt happy and seen for once.

Isabelle walked towards the Roll Call room spotting Angle and Nyla chatting. She walked into the room and sat next to them, giving them a smile. "Morning guys, wheres grumpy?" She questioned. The women laughed at her before Angela responded "Dont let him hear you say that"

Isabelle grinned "Just saying it how i see it, poor Lucy, oh Angela hows things with Wesleyy". Angela blushed "We are good thank you......speaking of dating, you need to get laid, you havent spoke about any men since ive met you". Isabelle gasped before replying "you're more my type" winking at the women. "im joking, ive just not met anyone who tickles my fancy"

Isabelle was lying, she had seen a couple of guys who she would mind getting under, one of those people being Tim, but she knew she couldn't act on those thoughts with anyone, she hadnt had sex in years, she was terrified to. Angela laughed "You know where to find me, im sure Wesley wouldnt mind" she winked.

Before Isabelle could reply Tim walked into the roll call room, the officers standing and clapping for the man. Tim smiled putting his head down before walking towards his seat and sitting next to Isabelle. Isabelle lent over towards him whispering "nice of you to join us, part timer"

Tim rolled his eyes shaking his head, a small smile appearing on his face. Sargent Grey begain to address the room " okay everyone, id first like to say welcome back to Tim Bradford, glad to have you back" Grey continued to speak about the upcoming day but Isabelle's attention was caught by something she saw outside the room.

Riley stood looking around the room, his hands on the shoulders of Elijah. Isabelle's mind started to race, was Elijah okay? Why was Riley here?. It was a Saturday so Elijah didn't have Nursery. Isabelle stood up from her chair abruptly,her hands shaking. "Im sorry sir i have..i have to check on something" Isabelle said stuttering on her words.

The Officers looked at the women in confusion and worry as she jogged out of the room. Isabelle exited the room towards Riley and Elijah. Elijah spotted her first and with a big grin on his face be shouted "mummy". Isabelle reached the two dropping to her knees infront of Elijah, gently grabbing his face and inspecting every detail.

When she realised there was no obvious sign of injury to her son, she let the deep breath she was holding, pulling Elijah close to her body. She looked up towards Riley. "Im so sorry i scared you, i have a family emergency, i need to go, im really sorry" The boy said looking guilty.

"No no Riley its fine, you dont need to explain, go i hope everything is okay, keep me updated okay?" Isabelle smiled at the boy, she had grown a fondness towards him, he took such good care of Elijah. She really hope everything was okay. Riley nodded at her saying thank you before walking out the station.

"Mummy you let go now" a mumbled voice said making Isabelle release her grip. "Oh baby im sorry, mummy has just missed you sooo much" Isabelle smiled at the boy, using her hands to show him how much she had missed him. Elijah giggled "you silly mummy".
