The story is almost straight from episode 1 of season 4 of The Rookie. After Jackson's death, Tim invites Lucy to spend the night at his place. But this time, no phone call will interrupt their night...

If the rookie characters had a groupchat #therookie #chenford

There's an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death. So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence - not for him to answer on the first ring. The call is short. Quiet. Safe. And it accidentally starts something they can't stop. What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer - shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what's been growing between them - not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses. Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they're both starting to realize... Maybe it was never just about the time. Maybe it's always been about each other. | I also post this on my AO3 account |

Detective Lucy Chen transfers to another station to escape her abusive ex-boyfriend. As she tries to keep her troubled past hidden, she makes new friendships and meets Tim Brattford. Amongst this, she struggles with the aftermath of self-harm and abuse.

This is set in season 7 of The Rookie; Tim and Lucy are still broken up, and all of the other relationships are the same as they were at the end of Season 6.

When the rookies go on vacation, Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen can't seem to stay apart. From steamy hot tub games to secret late-night rendezvous, their undeniable chemistry threatens to expose their hidden romance - and the team is starting to notice. Can they keep their desires under wraps, or will this getaway reveal more than just their vacation plans?
