When Tim and Lucy walk back into the Mid-Wildshire station, their feelings for each other are slowly revealed throughout the day. #9 in - operation 🥳

FINISHED STORY:

Lucy can't wait for her newfound freedom as a "normal" graduate school student even though she still has to bring two bodyguards to campus with her per the instructions of the U.S. President (who she calls "mom"). There are plenty of security protocols in place to protect her body, but it turns out her heart is really in danger. Loosely based off of the movie "First Daughter" but more drama/angst (obvs).

A mother gave birth to twin girls, she couldn't take care of them so she gave them up for adoption. The twin girls were put into the system, it was a bumpy ride. Everything they knew changed suddenly. I hope you like this story.

Lucy joined the LAPD in hopes to find a way to escape her abuser. She meets her new TO who is hard on her. She tries to learn the ropes but when she keeps getting abused physically and sexually at home, it makes it hard for her to. She starts to lose her hope and struggles mentally after she was abducted. Her TO starts to see through her lies. Will she escape? How will her relationship with her TO change? What will happen to her abuser? ~This is similar to my story Help Me but Lucy doesn't have a kid in this one so I can make more things happen!~ *Trigger warning: rape, alcoholism, self harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, and language* Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of the characters in this franchise! Except for Luke, he is my original character.

Lucy's worried when one of her second graders goes missing, and her most eager student, eight-year-old Sadie, is determined to help crack the case. Despite both Sadie and Lucy thinking they can handle being amateur detectives, they hit a wall, and Sadie insists they need help from her dad, Tim, who is a real cop. As Lucy teams up with Tim to find the missing student, she not only unravels the mystery but also quickly develops a crush on her crime solving partner.

Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford always knew there were lines they couldn't cross. But sometimes, fate has other plans. As they navigate their careers at the LAPD, their connection grows stronger, despite the obstacles keeping them apart. Between undercover operations, career-defining moments, and the struggle of keeping their feelings hidden, they're forced to make choices that could change everything. In a world where rules dictate their every move, they must decide-will they fight for love, or let it slip away?
