Stranger danger, remember?" ___°•☆♡☆•°___ When a new rookie joins the Mid-Wilshire station, she brings more than just top academy scores and confidence-she brings a past she'd rather keep buried.

Or walk away before it costs them everything? ________________________________________ The Rookie Fanfiction Tim Bradford × OC I do not own The Rookie.
