Summary
Story Background:
Lucy has just been recovered by the whole team after her ordeal with the ‘monster’ that was Caleb. She was taken to hospital where she is now slowly recovering and maybe finding out a few new things. It is very clear to all the team that there is something between Tim and Lucy that goes beyond partners on the job. The life Lucy thought she was building at Mid-Wilshire is about to be turned completely upside down.This does not follow exact timelines of the series, I’ve made choices based on what I liked from the episodes and storylines throughout the series and created my own rookie timeline because we all know the show doesn’t really exist with one anyway.
Get ready, buckle up because you are in for a long one… maybe one long enough to get us through the hiatus until season 8…
