7pm:

Tim and Lucy were at home, waiting for time to pass so they can go work their night shift. Tim wasn't feeling too good, he had a really bad headache and was a little nauseous. He was laying down in bed while Lucy was downstairs in the kitchen making him a tea. 

Tim almost fell asleep when he heard Lucy scream his name. He jumped out of bed forgetting about any pain and rushed downstairs. There he found Lucy in the corner of the kitchen, holding a cup of tea and looking at the counter. Tim approached Lucy and put his hands on her arms.

T: Are you okay? What happened? he asked worried.

L: T-there's a b-bug...

T: A bug? Seriously Luce? he asked laughing.

L: Stop laughing and release the bug outside! 

Tim walked closer to the counter and picked the bug with a paper towel. He then walked into the downstairs bathroom and threw it in the toilet, flushing it. He went back into the kitchen and Lucy handed him his tea.

T: Thanks.

L: Did you kill it?

T: Yeah? 

L: What?! Why!? 

T: What was I supposed to do with it?!

L: I told you to release him outside! 

T: Him? Really? It's a bug!

L: What if it had a family!

T: You know what? i won't argue with you over a bug. As he said that he walked back upstairs.

8:30pm:

Tim and Lucy are at the station and they haven't talked since Tim killed the bug. Lucy was mad at him. They rode together on night shift but they haven't talked at all. 

3:00am:

The gang was at the food trucks for a snack. Tim and Lucy weren't talking to each other and everyone noticed.

A: So why are you 2 mad at each other? 

T: Who said we're mad at each other?

A: You literally didn't spoke to each other all night.

L: Tim is a killer. she said annoyed

T: Really Luce? I'm a killer? he said raising his eyebrows.

L: Yes you are.

A: Who did you kill? Angela asked smiling.

T: I killed a bug. 

Angela broke in laughter. Nyla too.

N: You really are a criminal! We should arrest you! she said sarcastically while laughing.

A: And you argued because of a bug?

T: No. She told me to release it outside and I threw it in the toilet. Now she's mad.

L: What if it had a family! 

T: Are you serious right now?

L: Yes! I'm very serious.

Tim got up and went inside the station to do all the paperwork so he could finally go back home and get some sleep. 

6:00am:

Tim was in his car waiting for Lucy. His head was resting on the steering wheel. He was thinking how could he reconcile with Lucy. He closed his eyes trying to forget about his headache, which didn't go away. Suddenly, the car door on the other side opened and Lucy got in. She leaned on the back of her seat and placed her hand on Tim's back.

L: I'm sorry...

Tim turned hid head in her direction so he could look at her. 

L: You weren't feeling good and I made you come downstairs for a stupid bug...I'm sorry I got mad at you...

T: It's okay...Let's go home...

They shared a little kiss and then Tim drove them home.
