Summary
Five years ago, Lucy Chen slept with a stranger at a bar.
On Monday morning, he introduced himself as Officer Tim Bradford, her new TO.What followed was a history of bad timing and worse choices: stolen nights, broken vows, Isabel’s return, Lucy’s silence — and a secret that drove them apart. By the time Lucy transferred out of Mid-Wilshire, she swore she’d never look back.
Now, she’s a sergeant at Hollywood. A single mom. And she hasn’t seen Tim in half a decade.
Until a joint LAPD project forces them into the same room again.
Until the memories they buried refuse to stay buried.
Until the people they are now have to face everything the people they were left behind.Enemies. Lovers. Strangers. Partners.
Some mistakes don’t fade. Some of them grow — into scars, into secrets, into children with eyes too familiar to ignore. -

“7-Adam-100.” It’s Miles again, but this time there’s a breathlessness to his voice that gives Lucy pause. “Need the bomb squad to our—”
His transmission cuts out a half-second after a deafening sound peaks the mic. Fear bolts down Lucy’s spine as she and Celina glance over at each other, and a beat of aghast silence stretches through the shop before a dispatcher’s voice comes through the radio.
“7-Adam-100, do you copy?”
A tense few moments pass. There's no response.

Tim gets caught in an explosion. Lucy is terrified. S8 spec fic. -

Summary
As Lucy stood there listening to the parties involved, she felt off. She couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly it was, but she was glad they would be done for the day soon.
Celina must’ve noticed it too because she turned and had a worried expression on her face, “You okay there Sergeant?”
Her face was white as a ghost and she suddenly felt extremely dizzy. Thanks to Celina’s quick reflexes, she caught her right as she was about to go down. Another nearby officer jumped in as well, both holding her by her arms and lowering her to the ground.
