Chasing Pavement

Chapter 1; Suspicions

So writing a fanfic from a TV Show is new for me! I hope you like it and please review!

I'd just got back from the Black Penny, having had quite a few drinks with the other rookies. Luke wasn't home, that was a huge shocker. He was always coming home late, working on a big case he always said. I was growing tired of coming home to our apartment alone, waking up alone, eating alone. I noticed the phone was flashing, there was voice message left. I clicked the play button and poured myself a wine;

"Mr. Callaghan this is Macy from the head office of the Edinborough Hotel, wanting to inform you that you left your credit card here hope to hear back from you soon to pick it up." I wasn't fully listening to the message so I played it back again. After listening to it for a second time I wondered why and when Luke was at the Edinborough hotel. I'd have to ask him tomorrow morning when I see him at work, there was very little hope of seeing him tonight.

I checked my phone and noticed a text from Sam;

"Sleep off that hangover McNally, don't want have to haul your sleepy ass all over the place tomorrow ;)"

I laughed and sent him one back;

"Goodnight Sam, you know me, I'll rock up with only seconds to spare before parade starts :)"

I didn't expect a reply so I quickly got changed into my pj's and jumped into bed, sleeping alone for the fifth night in a row now.

But who was counting right?

My alarm went off at 7am, the beeping continuously blaring in my ears ordering me to wake up or be late for parade. I rolled over and found the space next to me empty, but a briefcase lay on the seat. Luke must've come home this morning and went for a run; I jumped in the shower and got dressed. Hoping to catch Luke and ask him about the hotel before he left for work again.

I'd just gotten dressed once Luke came in through the door, wearing his usual jogging gear. He smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek;

"Hey babe, sorry I didn't come home last night. This case is really big, potentially the biggest I've had in a while." He said while undressing and getting in the shower.

I nodded and smiled, told him that it was okay. Just like I always did.

"Hey, when were you at the Edinborough hotel?" I asked

"Why?" Luke asked

"You left your credit card there." I replied

"Oh, maybe you can pick it up for me when you for a day at the spa." Luke said

"Seriously?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"Surprise." He said

"What, that is so nice of you!" I said. Feeling guilty about the thoughts I'd been having about our relationship lately.

"I feel really bad actually; I should be getting you something this is your first day back on the job." I said

"Let's get married." Luke yelled from the bathroom

"Uh, we are." I replied

"Yeah, I don't want to wait. Let's go to city hall next week, throw a big party afterwards. What do you think?" He said sitting beside me on the bed.

"Well I think the girl in me says I don't have a dress." I said

"Okay, let's get one. Come on"

"Are you okay?" I said a little skeptical.

"Yeah, I'm great. I just don't want to wait anymore"

"o-okay yeah, what the hell! Sure let's do it." I said throwing my hands in the air and kissing him.

The McNally in me twisted and turned the conversation Luke and I had this morning in my head over and over. The way that Luke seemed a little defensive to answer my question about the Edinborough Hotel made me a little off edge. I immediately felt guilty about thinking these thoughts, instead I thought about how sweet he was to pay for me to have the day at the spa.

I'd gotten to parade early this morning, wanting to leave the apartment as soon as possible so that I could juggle the events around from this morning in my head. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize most of the rookies and other police officers had arrived, including Sam.

"...Earth to McNally." Sam said while waving his hand in front of my face.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him, his gorgeous brown/black eyes were boring into mine.

"What were you saying?" I said to Sam

"I asked how your head is? And how the hell did you get here so early?" Sam said with that smirk of his.

"Head is fine, and I didn't want to be late." I said with more snarky than intended, he just interrupted some important thoughts. I didn't have the chance to apologize though because Best walked in to start parade.

"Tonight is open house so I want you all cleaned up and here but 1900 hours. Super intendant Elaine Peck, will be joining us tonight as well, I'm hoping that um, you know, she'll like what she sees. Keep your noses clean today, make me look good out there."

Best told us our pairings and I was a little disappointed to hear that I wasn't paired with Sam today, but Oliver instead. I thought of Oliver as a big brother, I knew I could trust him in a life or death situation. But working with Sam always made my day, and our professional relationship always kept the job interesting.

We walked out of parade and I grabbed Tracy before she went off with Swarek;

"Luke wants us to get married next week." I said in a rush.

"Are you serious? Next week? That isn't much time." Tracy said with a confused look on her face.

"I know, we just decided on something really small." I said.

"We'll talk more about it tonight at the Penny? Don't want to keep Swarek waiting." Tracy said.

"Yeah sure, see you tonight." I said while hurrying to catch up to Oliver, no doubt inpatient to get his morning pancakes.

"So McNally, you're with me today. Should be fun." He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes at his attempt at sarcasm and quickly made a detour to say goodbye to Luke. I was about to knock on the door when I heard slightly raised voices, that belonged to Luke and Jo.

"It was a moment of weakness Jo; it's never going to happen again so just let it go. Knowing Andy she is most likely already suspicious about the hotel." Luke said in a rushed whisper.

What does he mean suspicious about the hotel? I thought.

"So you're saying that night meant nothing?" Jo said back.

You're saying that night meant nothing?

I didn't want to hear anymore, I walked away and ran towards the cruiser where Oliver was no doubt getting annoyed about my timing.

"Sorry, had to check on something" I said

"That's okay McNally; we just have less time for pancakes." Oliver said.

I rolled my eyes, typical Oliver always thinking about food.

Oliver and I were eating our pancakes at our favorite diner, I was lost in thought and I was sure Oliver was talking about something.

"McNally? You listening?" Oliver said trying to get me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, sorry. Just lost in thought." I said

"Anything on your mind?" Oliver said with a concerned look on his face.

I didn't want to discuss what I'd just heard with Oliver; rather I wanted to ask him a favor. I needed to check if there really was a spa reservation for me at the Edinborough Hotel, or in fact Luke spent the night there with Jo Rosati.

"No, but there is something I wanted to ask." I said

"Shoot." He said

"I need to make a quick detour to the Edinborough Hotel, I know its downtown. But it's important." I almost pleaded

"Okay McNally, drop me off back to the station. I have paperwork to do anyway and it doesn't look like there is much exciting happening today." He said

I was beyond thankful that he didn't ask questions, I made a note to myself that I owed Ollie big time.

Once I dropped Oliver off at the station, I noticed Sam getting out of his cruiser looking extremely bored.

"Oi brother, what happened to partnering with Nash today?" Oliver yelled

"She got reassigned to help out Jerry, looks like I'm solo for the day." Sam yelled back a little annoyed.

"I've got some paperwork to do; perhaps you can assist McNally in whatever she needs to do." Oliver said with a hint in his voice.

Damn him, there is no way I can go now. But this will be my only chance.

"Sure, can you let Best know for me?" Sam said

I didn't hear Oliver's reply because I was too busy having an internal battle with myself in my head.

"McNally, you know the rules. I drive." He said with a wink

I grudgingly got out of the driver's seat and walked to the other side.

"Jeez McNally, you're a whole bucket of sunshine today." Sam said

Was he trying to piss me off?

He noticed my silence and asked where to.

"Edinborough Hotel." I replied without not even so much as a smile. I wasn't in the mood for Sam's remarks and I really just needed to get this whole mess sorted out.

Thankfully Sam didn't question me either and the rest of the ride remained in comfortable silence. My mind however, was in complete turmoil. My overthinking had gone into hyper drive. Questions such as;

Did he cheat on me?

Maybe he just needed Jo's advice on what spa package to buy me?

Just kept swirling around in my mind, all of these possible scenarios kept popping into my head, but none of them seemed rational, they never would until I got my answers.

We finally arrived at the hotel, and I quickly jumped out of the car.

"Do want me to come in with you McNally?" Sam asked

I shook my head, there was no way I could do this in front of Sam, especially if the lady confirms my suspicions and I need a moment to calm down.

I walked to the head office and noticed the lady at the front desk, her nametag said Macy. Just the lady I was looking for really.

"Hi, My name is Andy McNally I was just wondering what day and time my spa package was scheduled for?" I asked.

"Sure ma'am let me just check the database." Macy replied.

"Ah, sorry miss but we do not have a schedule appointment for a McNally." Macy replied

I started to panic then.

"Ah, maybe it's under Callaghan?" I said

Macy checked again.

"No, sorry. Are you a relative? He left his credit card here." Macy said with a confused face.

She handed it to me, and I almost left. But there was a question that I had to ask, and was willing to use my badge to get the answer.

"Was detective Callaghan here with anybody else? Booked under the same room?" I asked

"We cannot give out that sort of information miss." Macy said

I flashed my badge,

"Look lady if you don't give out the information I need I can arrest you for obstruction of justice or withholding evidence." I said to her

With that threat Macy began furiously tapping away at her keyboard.

"A Mr. Luke Callaghan was booked under a private room with a Miss Jo Rosati, paid for by credit card." Macy said.

I merely nodded and thanked her; the information had not yet sunk in. I walked back to the cruiser, lost in thoughts and possibly in shock. Luke and Jo stayed at this hotel together one night, perhaps it was for a case?

But what did Jo mean by asking "So you're saying that night meant nothing?."

I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions please do so include it in a review! By the way what did everyone think of the first episode of season 3? Let me know I'd love to hear your opinion! :)
