Jay's P.O.V.
Kim and I were just stepping one of the many elevators that were at the corporate office. We had just finished getting the statement from the witness, and were heading back to the precinct. We were on the fifth floor, and had a while before we would hit the first floor. Everything was just calm, but it didn't stay that way. All of the sudden the fire alarm went off. The elevator stopped moving. I turn to Kim, and she looks at me. I can tell in her eyes that she's panicked, but doesn't want to show it. I probably have the same look on my face. I hit the emergency button. Trying to let them know that we are in the elevator. All we get in return is.
"This is only a test. The elevator will start back up when they finish going through all of the drills. Thank you for your patience." Well at least we wouldn't be burned to death.
"I guess we just have to wait." As Kim said that she started to sit on the floor. I started to do the same. We both try to get out our phones to see if there is service. We both only have enough to text all the info we got from the witness, and to let them know of our situation. It seemed like we were going to be here a while.
"So what do you want to do?" When I looked at Kim as I said that it dawned on me that I didn't really know that much about her. Sure we've known each other for over 5 years, but I never was alone with her when it wasn't for a case. As a result I don't really know her outside of work. I should really try to work on that. Especially since Voight keeps putting me and Kim together.
"I don't know. There isn't really anything to do." We could talk. That only takes us and words coming out of our mouths.
"As high school stupid this sounds we could try and get to know each other. I mean we've never really been alone when it wasn't for work. With Voight continuously putting us together it might be beneficial that I know your favorite stake out snack so I can get on your good side." I knew I had her at the end. I already knew that she liked chocolate, but that's not a good stake out snack because it'll milk.
"Alright fine, but I go first. Where does your name come from?" What type of first question is that. Well I can't speak, I don't exactly have a question for her yet.
"My grandfather's name was Jason, but everyone called him Jay. Alright Burgess which sports did you play?" It continued like that for about two hours. I learned that she played volleyball, and soccer as a kid. She also did track and field and cross country in high school. I also learned that her favorite chips pare oven baked barbecue lays, and that her favorite drink is iced coffee for stakeouts. When she isn't on a stakeout she prefers her caffeine warm. I also learned that she wanted to be a cop from the start, but became a flight attendant because she loved to fly. She also felt that at the time she wouldn't make it as a cop. I also learned about her and Trudy's love hate relationship when she still did patrols. I learned so much more.
She ended up learning that my favorite color is dark blue because that was the color of my mother's eyes. She also learned about when Will decided that he was going to announce to our whole road that I was the worst brother ever. That was when I was 6 and he was 9. She also learned about how I played baseball as a kid, and throughout high school. She also learned why I joined the army, and why I decided to become a cop instead.
In a gist of it all we learned a lot about each other, and by the end of it I was starting to dread those doors being opened.
