You had to be fucking kidding. No no, no, NO. This was not happening. Despite the calm facade, she’d put on in front of Captains Burelson and Juarez, Penny was not cool as a cucumber. She was freaking out on the inside. They wanted her to what?
“One more complaint he’s done. We can't do this anymore. You're his last chance.”
If her ex-boyfriend had any hopes in ever returning to the task force, or even keeping his job, he would have to work. With her. Was this not her own punishment? “We know it’ll be...awkward, but if anyone can get him on his feet, it’s you.”
She’d tried that already. She tried to tell them as such, but the captains seemed to think she could do it. Did they not realize what they were asking? What this would do to her? You moved on Pen, you’ll be fine. You can be professional. She told herself.
After a very long, much-needed margarita, and a needed vent session with a good friend.
After texting Lisette, who she could have just taken the short walk to go see; but knew the other woman was busy, Penny threw herself into preparing for tomorrow’s fun of having to deal with Nate.
When work was done, she drove over to her and Lisette’s favorite place and found their usual table. Ordering for the both of them, Penny made sure to get her blackberry margarita as big as they came and with a shot of spiced rum to accompany it.
When Lisette showed up, she’d find Pen sitting at the table holding her face in her hands.
