The rookie Groupchat

Yikes Tim

Celina Juarez:
Uh... where are Tim and Lucy?

Aaron Thorsen:
Wait, they're not here?

John Nolan:
I just checked the roster. They were both scheduled.

Angela Lopez:
Neither showed up for roll call. No call, no text.

Bailey Nune:
That's... not good.

Wade Grey:
Has anyone heard from them?

Celina Juarez:
Lucy was fine yesterday. She was supposed to be on early patrol.

Aaron Thorsen:
Tim would never just not show up.

John Nolan:
Exactly. This is weird.

Angela Lopez:
I tried calling both. No answer.

Nyla Harper:
That's it. I'm going over there.

Wade Grey:
Lopez, you go with her. I want an update.

Angela Lopez:
On it.

(A few minutes later...)

Celina Juarez:
I don't like this.

Bailey Nune:
Same.

Aaron Thorsen:
If something happened, shouldn't one of them have called?

John Nolan:
Unless they couldn't.

Angela Lopez:
We're here. Knocking now.

Nyla Harper:
Front door locked. No response.

Celina Juarez:
Try the back?

Angela Lopez:
Going around now.

(A few minutes later...)

Angela Lopez:
We're in.

Celina Juarez:
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Bailey Nune:
Did you break in??

Nyla Harper:
Lopez has a key.

Aaron Thorsen:
I'm so confused.

John Nolan:
Okay, but do you see them?

Angela Lopez:
Yeah. We found them.

Celina Juarez:
AND??

Nyla Harper:
Lucy's seriously sick. Tim's taking care of her.

Celina Juarez:
Wait, seriously?

Bailey Nune:
That's it?

Angela Lopez:
Yep. She's barely conscious.

Aaron Thorsen:
Tim called out for her?

Nyla Harper:
Nope. Neither of them called.

John Nolan:
Oh, they're in trouble.

Celina Juarez:
Did Tim at least text Grey?

Angela Lopez:
Nope. Total radio silence.

Bailey Nune:
Tim Bradford didn't call in?

Nyla Harper:
Nope. He's making soup.

Aaron Thorsen:
I am so confused right now.

John Nolan:
Grey is going to flip.

Wade Grey:
I'm still here.

Celina Juarez:
Oh no.

Bailey Nune:
Oh no no no.

Aaron Thorsen:
I forgot he was in here.

Wade Grey:
Lopez. Harper. Put me on speaker.

(A few seconds later...)

Wade Grey:
Bradford. Explain. Now.

(Silence.)

Angela Lopez:
Tim just sighed.

Nyla Harper:
And rubbed his face like he's questioning all his life choices.

Wade Grey:
I'm waiting.

Tim Bradford:
Lucy's seriously sick. I stayed to take care of her.

Wade Grey:
And you didn't think to call?

Tim Bradford:
I... forgot.

Celina Juarez:
Lies.

Bailey Nune:
He knew.

Aaron Thorsen:
Tim Bradford? Forget to call? Impossible.

John Nolan:
Tim, we love you, but you don't even forget to breathe.

Angela Lopez:
We're here, Tim. We're not mad, but you really should've called.

Nyla Harper:
She's burning up. Tim's staying put to take care of her.

Celina Juarez:
Is she okay?

Angela Lopez:
She's weak. She can barely stay awake.

Tim Bradford:
I'm trying to get her to rest.

Lucy Chen:
I'm fine, really. Just... let me sleep.

Wade Grey:
Next time, Bradford. You call.

Tim Bradford:
Got it.

Angela Lopez:
Tell her we said to feel better.

Tim Bradford:
I will.

Nyla Harper:
You both need to take care of yourselves.

Tim Bradford:
Yeah, I know.

Celina Juarez:
Good luck, Tim.

Bailey Nune:
Rest up, Lucy.

Wade Grey:
Get back to work, people.
