The inspiration for this story just randomly hit me for some reason and I had to write it out because it seems like such a good idea.
Chapter One
Biggest Annoyance
Quinn Fabray was set to meet her newest partner in the next ten minutes since her last partner had requested to be transferred to a different position within the Lima Ohio Police Station because not only could she not handle the cold blonde anymore the last case had hit her hard. The victim had been a young girl named Cecile Loraine and she had seen so little life and what she had seen had only been the bad side of it. She was only four years old but she had been molested and abused so severely she died at the young age of four and it just broke her heart. Though Quinn was known for being cold and unfeeling by the majority of her colleagues but for her two best friends it had hit her hard too. She had been even quieter than usual and extremely stiff and even harder to approach which was saying something considering she was always difficult to interact with only because no one knew what she was thinking and everyone was scared of the seemingly unfeeling blonde. There was just something about her that left people feeling unnerved and … disconcerted.
Quinn Fabray was exceptionally beautiful and everyone in the department knew it. She was tall, 5' 6", had surprisingly stylishly messy short blonde hair that reached just above her chin, gorgeous hazel eyes, though hard to read, chiseled cheek bones, plump lips, and a small nose sculpted to perfection. She was a beautiful woman who didn't seem to have a single flaw about her. That wasn't all there was to her though. She was smart, a prodigy after all, quiet but had a presence that demanded respect, confidence, a body that most women would kill for, no pun intended, but most of all she was always calm and collected no matter what the situation and that made her efficient. There had never been a situation that she had never come out on top of, there had never been any case she couldn't solve and she had an amazing track record at the station: 302 solved cases total in the last six years.
She was broken out of her thoughts by the voice of a perky blonde and her usually stoic but hot tempered companion and partner. "Hi Q!" and she was enveloped in a nearly bone crushing hug that she, almost to the other officers, who didn't know any better, surprise, hugged the effervescent blonde back with just as much force as opposed to the half hearted hug they had been expecting from her.
Brittany Pierce was a striking blonde who stood at 5' 8" with piercing blue eyes shining with innocence, sculpted cheek bones, long blonde hair, and a thin upper lip and a plumper bottom lip. She had a bright smile on her face and a cheerful attitude that instantly drew others to her. She was always a shiny ray of sunshine even if when some of the most gruesome cases seemed to drain the happiness out of those around her. She was like a beacon of hope in a dark, lightless world. She was also a great comic relief when she talked about her cat, Lord Tubbington the supposed smoking cat on ecstasy. She was always telling crazy stories about how he stole ecstasy from drugged up neighbors so Brittany could arrest them when they weren't high and how he would also take their alcohol so she could arrest them before they could drive drunk. One of Brittany's hobbies was dancing and she danced well. Brittany never ceased to make Quinn feel better even when she was at her lowest.
"Hey, Q, how are you you holding up after that last one? It was pretty gruesome and hard to stomach for, all of us." Santana said with a sympathetic look.
Santana was the toughest person out of everyone working in this police station. She had grown up in Lima Heights Adjacent despite the fact that her father was a doctor. 'You stay where family is' was her motto and the rest of her family's as well. She was a Latina beauty with long slightly wavy black hair, smoldering dark brown eyes, bodacious pouty lips, and defined cheekbones. She stood at 5' 5" and was known for being a fierce fire breathing Latina when she was crossed or challenged by others. She had a reputation for being fearsome and ruthless to anyone she disliked. She was also known for being a viciously protective of Brittany and Quinn, Brittany because she was her lover and Quinn because they were best friends. Santana had a witty tongue that never ceased to come up with slightly insulting but mostly humorous jokes about others working in the police station with them. Her favorite person to poke fun at (or make fun of depending on who you asked) was Kurt Hummel because he was the only (openly) gay male officer in the entire station and he had a hobby that just made it easy for her: make up. Everyone knew it was just nature to her so not very many minded it much especially since she came up with such tasteful jokes with her amazing dead pan skills.
Quinn looked into her eyes briefly before she looked away. "It's because of little girls like her I catch the bad guys. You know that S." Santana nodded. "I know you're worried about me but don't be because I'm fine." But she wasn't and Santana and Brittany both knew that but they knew not to say anything. Brittany hugged her again before stepping back and linking pinkies with Santana, something they had always done since they were children. It was no secret in the department that both of them were dating and that they lived together but their chief, Sue Sylvester, didn't care as long as they got the job done and they just so happened to be two of her best police officers as well since they were the dream team and that was just an added bonus. She found out a few years ago that separating those two only made their department look bad so she never cared to see that mistake repeated again.
Sue Sylvester was the chief of this police station and though she often said mean and rude things to others she was a compassionate woman in her own very special way. She was a difficult woman to be around only if one didn't know how to handle her right and ignore most of her biting comments. She had interesting nicknames for everyone in the station and for the most part they were backwards compliments. She was an extremely witty woman who watched over the station with an iron fist to keep everyone in order, especially Puck who was known for breaking some of the rules in order to get his man, and in relative peace. She was the tallest woman out of all of the women working at the station at the height of 6'. She had an extremely quirky kind of personality that was hard, for most everyone she knew, to understand but she liked it that way because then no one would have her pinned, would know how to act around her.
Kurt Hummel was known for being good with cosmetics and it was just a hobby though because his true passion was bringing justice into this world. There was nothing else quite like it and it was invigorating and exciting to find a lead, get clues, until they caught the right person and that person was brought to justice in the legal courts where they would stay for as long as their sentence lasted. Kurt was a field agent who usually handled larceny and drug busts because of his rather uncanny skills in gathering information. It was almost like he had informants everywhere but whatever his methods were it got the job done and so no one really bothered to ask questions. He was a rather tall man who was a little over 5' 10" in height and he had an extremely high pitched speaking voice. He was handsome with a wispy figure compared to Puck, Will, and Mike. He wasn't a small man to say the least but he wasn't built like them and he had coiffed light brown hair that he personally did every morning into perfection and he never allowed even a single strand of hair to fly out of place no matter where he was. He was best friends with Mercedes Jones, who was in charge of records in the department. They were both quite the gossips and they seemed to know about everything that happened at the station even if it was something that had absolutely nothing to do with them. They somehow got wind of the news first before anyone else even had a chance to find out something had happened. Again it came with him having informants everywhere seemingly no matter what department it happened in.
There was Noah Puckerman who was the biggest player. Everyone called him Puck though. He was bi and he chased after men and women alike as long as they piqued his interest in some way, mainly it started off with how confident they were in themselves and if they had a nice body too on top of all of that. He was tall, standing at 6', with a muscular build, tan, and he had a Mohawk, which completely threw criminals off all of the time. He was the jokester amongst us and despite his sometimes insensitive seeming ways he had a heart behind his 'badass' that he didn't show often. He had a love for music that he liked to keep secret unless he was trying to woo someone. He liked to chase cocky people because he felt like they were more of a challenge to him and more worthy of his effort. He had a reputation for being lady and man killer but when he started a relationship he was serious and in it for the long run. If it wasn't serious it was only a matter of time before he moved onto his next fuck buddy. He was an overall nice guy he just happened to flirt with anything that moves in the room including friends and colleagues. The only exception to that was he never hit on family, which was a relief to everyone because that would just be awkward for everyone.
And there was Will Schuester who was a father figure to almost everyone in the station because he was a mentor to almost everyone in the station because he was one of the oldest members in the force and he was put in charge of trainees coming into the station. He had been a teacher before he decided on a career change and became an officer trainer because teaching Spanish just hadn't been his thing. He didn't speak very well and he also didn't understand the culture much either, so he found something else that captured his interests as someone who liked to teach better than Spanish did and he came to be the official officer trainer at this station. He was a fair man who was passionate about the subject he was teaching the newbies, the trainees, who would come to understand what every lesson meant in the field. He was a tall man who stood at the height of 6' and he had curly hair and a kind smile on his face and he was very built, bigger than Puck. He was a serious kind of man but despite his seriousness he always had something to smile about. He was always dissolving the fights that broke out between high strung officers who lost their cool because of the stress of their cases and the fact that the crimes they had to solve were sometimes so hard to deal with because of who they were saving and because sometimes there ones they couldn't save. The one saving grace was having someone so strong and kind easing the pain of all of these horrors. While Will provided a strong shoulder to cry on and kind words that made everyone feel safer and helped ease the tension of stressful situations.
Mercedes Jones was a fierce woman with a big heart and an even bigger mouth. She was a woman of average height and was 5' 4" in height. As compassionate as she was she was always gossiping none-stop with Kurt but it never got in the way of her work, and nobody knew how that was. She was known for being one of the best shooters in the entire department, second only to Quinn and was sometimes tied with Santana. She was known for her speed and accurate shooting when it came to maiming suspects who were running away with all they had to avoid being caught by one of the best police task forces in the entire county. She was a big and beautiful black woman with a big voice. She loved to sing Karaoke with her partner in crime, no pun intended, Kurt Hummel, who sang with an amazing falsetto. She sang with a very powerful voice and could belt out high notes unlike anyone else in this circle of friends and colleagues.
Tina Cohen-Chang was an extremely shy Asian-American woman. She was a woman of average height despite her Asian heritage at 5' 3". She had beautiful silky, straight black hair, slightly tan skin, almond shaped eyes with dark brown irises that shone with an innocent air surrounding her pure hearted nature. She had a very sweet disposition and she didn't speak very much but she did have fun during Karaoke nights with her colleagues. She was known for being the quietest member of the police task force and she was in charge of filing all of the paperwork for cases. She was an extremely organized person and that made her a quintessential part of the group because she made sure everything was in order with all of the files and paperwork were in order for whatever purpose they were needed for.
Mike Chang, who was of no relation to Tina, was also another tall male standing at 5' 11, he was very wiry looking but beneath his clothes was an extremely built man and he was known for his love of dancing. He often attended dance classes with Brittany when they had free nights and sometimes they would go to each other's houses to show off new dance moves they made up. After a few years of working together and never quite meeting each other they finally met through their mutual friend Brittany. Brittany sang with Tina on occasion and Brittany danced with Mike as often as their schedule allowed and when they met sparks seemed to fly and their red string of destiny was fulfilled. They had explained that there was in Asian culture a myth, folklore, about a red string that was connected to two people's pinky fingers and through that, through destiny, they would meet to become destined lovers someday no matter how long it took. It was a romantic story that the girls and Kurt liked to hear while the guys weren't sure what to make of it while Puck was the only one who was openly skeptical about it.
Sam Evans was a newer member of the police task force. He had joined only six months ago and he was slowly gaining recognition for being good at apprehending the criminals with his lean but muscular body. He was one of the fastest men in the task force and he earned the nickname Lightning Pole because of how tall and fast he was. He wasn't the tallest man in the force but he tied for second between Will and Puck. He was partners with Puck and they were one of the best teams in the entire station. They made it in the top 5 with their arrest track record and they were opposites in so many ways but they got along and bickered like an old married couple about half of the time but they were good at what they did all the same. Everyone was curious about their friendship because Puck was different around Sam … softer. He didn't flirt with Sam nearly as much as he did with anyone else
The last member of our circle of friends was Finn Hudson who was the tallest member of the task force standing at 6' 3" and he was known for his rather lackadaisical attitude and for being a bit on the slow side. He definitely wasn't the brightest apple in the bunch but he was an honest and hard worker. He didn't get along with Santana at all and he often got into fights with her because of her various nicknames for him; Pillsbury doughboy, Finnept, Finnocence, Frankenteen, the Giant Baby, and various other ones that were a bit inappropriate to mention. They got along as much as a cat got along with a mouse, Santana being the cat and Finn being the mouse. Santana was ruthless when it came to torturing him and though she always said she had her reasons she never expanded further on them. Finn was known for turning red in the face before he stomped off and kicked a chair or something else that wouldn't break and then Will would have to go and chase after him so he didn't do anything more destructive than that and then he would go and tell Santana to be nicer to Finn and sometimes she would acquiesce but other times she would just roll her eyes and walk away with Brittany following after her.
Quinn broke away from her thoughts when she heard a tentative voice address her. "Hello? Are you … um Quinn Fabray by chance?" She asked hesitantly. Quinn looked up into her brown eyes and she could see that she was an extremely gorgeous woman with a body to kill for if her short sleeved blouse with suspenders holding her skin tight pants up were any good indications of such a thing. She had wavy dark brown hair that was pulled up into a ponytail and she was undeniably sexy but she didn't seem to be aware of what beauty she had. Quinn felt her mouth open slightly in surprise. She had sun kissed skin, most likely tan naturally since she didn't appear to be the kind of person who cared about her appearance much and she was short, so short. She had to have been at least four inches shorter than Quinn, about 5' 2" in height. She had light make up on and not much else to cover her gorgeous face. I was in a trance or something but she broke it by speaking again. "Excuse me?"
Quinn shook her head slightly before she nodded her head in answer. "Yes, my name is Quinn Fabray … what of it? What business do you have with me?" Quinn asked briskly.
"Well I am required to meet with you for I have been told that I am to be your partner from now on while I work at this specific police station Miss Quinn Fabray. It is nice to meet your acquaintance and I hope that we will work well together hereafter." She spoke a lot for saying something that could have been so much simpler. For some reason Quinn found her extremely annoying … the biggest annoyance she had ever come into contact with in my entire life really. Quinn took her outstretched hand in her own and shook briefly but firmly before letting go swiftly.
"You too, I'm sure. Just don't slow me down or get in my way of investigating and I'm sure you and I will work out just fine um … you never told me your name." Quinn said apathetically.
"Oh, you have my sincerest apologies Fabray. My name is Rachel Barbra Berry, please take care of me and guide me to the fullest of your abilities henceforth Fabray. I hope we will become good partners in the next few months." She said smoothly, deliberately ignoring my indifferent attitude toward her speech.
Quinn wasn't sure how she could tell but she could just tell that there was something about her that she didn't like … something that annoyed her inexplicitly and it bothered her so much to the point that she was even colder to her than she normally was to others with the exception of Santana and Brittany. Quinn knew that there was going to be a long day ahead of her today as she got her things situated at her new desk in front of her.
Santana and Brittany came over to my desk where Quinn sat with uncertain feelings and Santana whispered to me, "So, that's your new partner huh?" Quinn just nodded curtly. "She seems to be confident in herself and her abilities from what I can see. She sure can talk. She approached Brit first to ask if she was Quinn probably because the chief only told her that she was a tall blonde female. That's so like the chief to pull a stunt like that to make the new girl feel like a fool. How are you going to work with this midget here?" She asked with a raised brow in Santana fashion.
Quinn shrugged uninterestedly, "I don't know. I'll just have to see where this goes I guess San. She's … not that bad I think … just very good at making long winded speeches. Time will tell how well we work together. So what are you and Brit up to right now?" Quinn could just tell that there was something different about her that was bothering her but she didn't know what it was exactly but she didn't really care too much about it and she would just work with her for as long as they were partners and that was that, end of story. She wondered how long she would last because her last partner was with her for no more than three months before she requested to be transferred to a different precinct far, far away from one Quinn Fabray, from her. Like she had thought time would tell everything.
Please review and tell me if this is interesting or just plain old boring! If it's not interesting then I'll just stop this story here but if enough people review then I will deem it worthy to continue!^^
