The Rookie (OC x Lucy) (Fan Fiction)

Chapter 28: Safety

With Wesley

Wesley was driving KITT to Tim's house to catch a football game.

KITT's voice broke the silence. "Michael, why are we going to Officer Tim Bradford's house for the game when we could watch it at home with Lucy?"

Wesley replied, "Well, it's my chance to hang out with Tim. I wanted to spend some time with him and enjoy the game. It's nothing against watching it at home, it's just a change of pace."

KITT inquired, "Is Lucy okay with this arrangement?"

Wesley answered, "Of course. I talked to her about it."

KITT asked, "So you checked with her before deciding?"

Wesley confirmed, "Yeah, she knows. It's all good."

KITT responded, "Understood."

As KITT smoothly navigated the streets, Wesley relaxed into his seat.

KITT asked, "Michael, what are you most looking forward to about this game?"

Wesley chuckled. "Honestly? Just hanging out and catching up with Tim. It's been a while since we've had a chance to do that."

KITT responded, "It's important to maintain those personal connections. Is there anything in particular you're hoping to see during the game?"

Wesley grinned. "I'm hoping for a few good plays and, of course, a win. But mostly, I just want to enjoy the time with Tim."

KITT's voice held a note of curiosity. "Do you and Tim often watch games together?"

Wesley nodded. "Yeah, we used to do it pretty regularly. It's one of those traditions we've kept up since my early days on the force."

KITT said, "That sounds like a good way to stay connected. Is there a specific game you two are reminiscing about?"

Wesley thought for a moment. "There was this one game a few months back, where we ended up celebrating a last-minute touchdown. It was one of those moments that really stuck with us."

KITT observed, "It's remarkable how shared experiences like that can strengthen friendships."

Wesley agreed. "Absolutely. It's those little moments that make a big difference."

As they approached Tim's house, Wesley glanced at KITT's dashboard. "Thanks for understanding, KITT. It's important to me to keep these friendships strong."

KITT responded, "It's my pleasure, Michael. Maintaining these connections is vital, and I'm glad to support you in that."

Wesley smiled. "You always have my back, KITT. I appreciate it."

KITT said, "We're almost there. Tim's house is just up ahead."

As they pulled into the driveway, Wesley saw Tim's familiar house. He turned to KITT with a grin. "Thanks for the ride, KITT. I'll see you in a bit."

KITT responded warmly, "Enjoy your time with Tim, Michael. I'll be here when you're ready to head back."

Wesley exited KITT and walked up to Tim's house's front door, excited for the evening ahead.

Later

Tim and Wesley were sprawled comfortably on Tim's couch, intently watching the game.

The TV announcer called, "Eric Weddle with a tackle..."

Tim leaped to his feet, clapping enthusiastically. "Thattaboy, Weddle! Come on! One more!"

The announcer continued, "Rams defense needs a stop here..."
