Natalie "Nat" Hayes enlisted in the military at 18, where she met Tim Bradford and became his second-in-command. After leaving the Army together in 2007, the two joined the LAPD. Their shared background helped them advance quickly, and during their rookie year they began dating-marrying just two years later. By 2009, Tim had earned his promotion to Training Officer while Natalie was tapped for Detective, fast-tracked into Narcotics, and partnered with her Academy friend, Isabel Blake. But by 2019, everything had changed. Isabel's struggle with addiction began in 2016, and Nat had gone deep undercover in a cartel ring-six months in when a new wave of rookies joined the LAPD. Tim's life continued at the station, while Nat's path pulled her further into the shadows. Disclaimer: I don't own The Rookie-just Natalie "Nat" Hayes and her story.

Detective Parker Smith has spent the last four years working deep undercover. When she finally returns to regular detective work at Mid-Wilshire - the same station where she began as a rookie - she finds herself reunited with Officer Tim Bradford. Years ago, the two went undercover together, posing as a couple. What started as an act turned into something real, and they dated for six weeks before Parker transferred to North Hollywood. Life took them down different paths - Tim married Isabel, a narcotics detective - but now, with Tim recently divorced and Parker back in L.A., old sparks begin to resurface. Note: This story begins during Season 2, Episode 4: "Warriors and Guardians." It's my first time starting a story at the beginning of a different season, so this will be an interesting new approach. Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of its characters. Only Parker Smith and any other original characters belong to me.

Working behind the scenes at 911, she navigates emergencies and hidden secrets, finding in Bobby Nash a father figure and in Athena Grant a maternal guide. But the past she left unresolved with Tim might come knocking...
