Turn Back Time (The Night Shift)

Chapter One - Troublemaker

"Yeah, Miysha. I'm on my way!" Taylor reassured her friend over the phone. "I've just left my hotel room so I'll be there in 10." She added before she hung up. Picking up the pace, Taylor continued walking until she arrived at the house. The music was already blaring so loudly it could be heard from down the street. There also seemed to be disco lights flashing from inside. Taylor let herself in and went to find Miysha and the others.
"Ah, she's here!" Miysha squealed, running over to hug her friend who he hadn't seen in a while.
"Hey, Miysha." Taylor laughed, prying her friend off.
"How are you girl?" Miysha asked, getting her friend a drink from the vast selection.
"I'm good. Tired. But I'm good" Taylor joked, as she had, had a busy few days of travelling.
"Here, drink this" Miysha encouraged her friend, handing her the alcoholic beverage.
"So, how have things been without me?" Taylor asked as they joined the rest of the gang.
"You know, since I was last here."
"Boring! You're the party animal." Erica exclaimed, causing Taylor to chuckle.
"Well, I'm back now." Taylor stated.
"So let's party!" She shouted over the music, causing everyone to cheer. The music was turned up even louder and everyone started dancing. Taylor danced around with her mates just generally having a good time. Whilst dancing Taylor kept topping up her drink. She was no light weight meaning it took a lot for her to get drunk. After a little while, something caught Taylor's attention. She turned and saw a guy dealing pills in the corner.
"I'll be back." Taylor said closely to Miysha's ear so her friends could hear her. Miysha smirked.
"Still into that?" She asked, glancing at the boy.
"Occasionally." Taylor joked, as she walked away from Miysha and over to the boy.
"You selling?" She asked, getting close to him. The guy smiled.
"What you offering?" He asked, leaning in closely.
"How much for 3 pills?" She questioned.
"$20." The guy replied. Taylor didn't hesitate and pulled $20 out of her pocket. She traded the cash with the pills.
"Have fun, sweetheart." He whispered into her ear. Taylor smiled and walked away. She popped two of the pills in her mouth and washed in down with her beer.
"You're back!" Miysha exclaimed, as she clung to some guys arm.
"This is David." She told Taylor. Taylor smiled.

Meanwhile a few blocks away, Rick was driving around the streets in his patrol car. Tonight he was helping out on the streets for some overtime. He was working solo, but he enjoyed the quiet.

"Unit 44 – Noise complaints from multiple residents on Hawkland Street, other units responding." 

"This is unit 44 – responding." Rick said into his radio before he turned the car around, switched on the lights and started driving quickly to the address.
Within 4 minutes, Rick was pulling up outside the address with other units right behind him. Due to his rank, Rick took charge.
"Clear the house. Get everyone out. Shut the music off." He ordered. Everyone nodded and moved in.
"Police!" They all shouted, entering the house. Rick walked in behind some officers and went on a walk around the house.
"Crap." Taylor muttered once she saw all the police officers and the music was cut off. Without hesitation, Taylor took off. She somehow managed to get out of the house and sprinted off down the street. Rick had noticed this and went after the teen. By now the drugs were starting to kick in alongside the alcohol. Taylor went to run across the road but tripped on the curb, falling to the ground, cutting her hand on some glass as she did so.
"Stay there." Rick warned, as he caught up with the teen. Taylor sighed in frustration as she had been caught. She stood up. Rick looked at her and noticed that her pupils were dilated.
"How old are you?" He asked, also being able to smell the alcohol. Taylor remained silent.
"Right, come with me, we need to get your hand seen too." Rick said sternly. Yet again, Taylor didn't say anything or move.
"It's either the hospital or the police station in cuffs." Rick stated. Taylor glared at him before she started moving. She followed Rick down the street to his patrol car. Rick opened the back door and Taylor climbed in.
"I'll be back." He said, before he shut the back door, meaning Taylor was trapped in the back of the car. Taylor sighed heavily as she watched Rick walk over and talk to some other officers before he returned and climbed in the driver's seat.
"What's your name?" Rick asked the teen, turning around to face her. Yet again, Taylor glared at him and remained silent.
"I'm only trying to help." Rick stated but Taylor just rolled her eyes at him. Rick shook his head as he turned back around in his seat, switched on the engine and started driving to the hospital.

10 minutes later, they pulled up outside San Antonio Memorial Hospital. Rick climbed out of the car and opened the back door.
"Are you going to get out of the car?" Rick asked, leaning in to look at the teen.
"No." Taylor huffed, as she remained in her seat.
"Look, you can either walk in by yourself or I can drag you in. The choice is yours." Rick explained annoyed. Taylor hesitated before she climbed out of the car. Rick walked her inside.
"Molly, can someone take a look at her hand? She fell running away." Rick asked nurse Molly who was stood at the front desk.
"I'll go find Drew." Molly said, walking off. Upon hearing the name "Drew", Taylor's eyes widened. As Drew walked out of the trauma room by the front desk, Taylor tried to walk away. Rick grabbed her gently around the wrist to stop her.
"Taylor?" Drew asked surprised and confused. Taylor sighed as she turned around. She smiled weakly.
"Hey, dad..."
