7 parts Complete Lucy finds a mysterious, beat-up notebook while cleaning out the precinct locker room. It's titled:
"Rookie Survival Guide - Chen Edition (Do Not Touch, Seriously, Stop Reading)"
It's Tim Bradford's private collection of sarcastic notes, advice, and personal observations from her rookie year.
Like:
"Rule #14: If Chen smiles before a prank, duck."
"Rule #27: She asks too many questions, but they're usually good. Don't tell her that."
"Rule #39: If she ever flirts - don't get your hopes up. She's not serious. (I think.)"
Lucy's both mortified and weirdly touched. So, naturally, she writes her own version: "The Bradford Manual - Emotional Walls Edition."
Cue a hilarious, flirty back-and-forth war of notebooks, pranks, and secret notes... that slowly turn into something deeper.
