"I'm Fine" I argued with my boss

"There's a bullet in your arm!" he replied

"yeah but-" i started

"go to the damn emergency room" 

"fine" i sighed driving myself to the emergency room. 


i walked in and a minute later i was getting stitches after they pulled the bullet out my arm, I sat and watched the nurse stitching up my bloody arm. 

Eventually she finished and sent me off, i walked down the hall and bumped into a doctor, "Ah shit sorry" i mumbled helping her pick up her stuff.

"Its alright Love" she said softly Looking down at me,

I looked up at the red headed taller obgyn, "Hi" i mumbled.

"Hi, Addison Montgomery obgyn" she smiled holding a hand out to me,

I shook her hand with the arm that had just been stitched up and still had blood on my sleeve. 

"Lennon Hawksley" i replied.


"Ah, nice to meet you Lennon. Your arm okay?" she asked

"Mhm, its alright" i sighed putting my hand in my pocket

"what happened may i ask?" She questioned.

"oh, gunshot" i answered, 

"Oh Damn, i hope your okay" 

"Yeah its fine, not the first time its happened being a detective and all" 

"Your a cop?" She asked

I nodded, "Detective for the Nypd, I'm here in Seattle for a case" 

"New York huh? I lived there when i was Married" 

"Divorce?" 

"yep, two years ago now. he works here though so I'm honestly considering going back to New York" 

"Well if you do ill have to show you around some time" i smiled

"Yeah, i would like that" she smiled in return.

"Say, how old are you Addison?" i asked

"27, you?" 

"23" 

"ah the joys of being in your early twenties" 

"Indeed" I laughed.

"Friends?" She asked

"Yeah sure why not" i smiled handing her my phone.

She put her number in my phone and handed it back, "when are you leaving Seattle?" 

"Tomorrow actually" i replied as i took my phone back.


"ah well, i hope to see you again at some point" she smiled

i nodded "Yeah, Ill text you sometime once I'm home" 

She gave a gentle nod "alright well, Goodbye Lennon" 

"Bye Addison" i smiled walking off.


I went back to Seattle's police station were my boss and some of my team were. 

"Yeah, its stitched up everything's fine" I said to my boss as i walked in

"Good Hawksley, your off for the day now since you fly back tomorrow" He replied.
