  Summary

  Justin Bradford has always grown up around cops.
  It was never a problem—until last year.

  Months after a controversial shooting involving his father, Justin doesn’t see him the same way anymore.
  And then, one morning, a simple trip to the bank turns into a hostage situation.

  This time, Tim Bradford isn’t just a lieutenant responding to a call.
  He’s a father.

  Summary

  I start to write this fiction in December 2024 (Cause I didn't want to study for my exams). This fiction is coming from my imagination, and it starts few months after the end of the season 6 so I'll maybe introduce the characters of season 7 one day in this fiction. This work is centrate about Tim and Lucy relation's ship, but all the characters of the rookie are or can be used. I have invented some characters, some from the beginning and some will appear later. Some characters does'nt have the same name in the original serie and in my fiction (because I was thinking that we don't even know their name but I have discovered that we do later). There is a lot of moment with the team of the rookie (Tim, Lucy, Angela, Nyla, their families, etc...). To finish this presentation, I have to say: Sorry about my english, this is not my first language so I do my best. If something is not understandable, please tell me and I'll correct it. I learned english mostly with netflix so it's probably not the best english. You have to know that I already have write a lot, I have 16 documents and they have mostly around 150 pages. The difficulty is here for me: traduce (I'm french) and post everything, with all the corrections that I have to do.
