She was nervous. Absolutely nervous. She had no idea how any of the others were going to react to it but she knew she was probably, well definitely going to soon find out. Only Hank, Jay and even Adam knew and they were constantly sending secret text to her asking if she's ok. She was okay. She was just a nervous wreck and she was hiding it well from the rest. Hank had knew for years since her took her i as his own when she was about to turn 18. She had told Jay little bits about it from about a year into them being partners and everything else a few days before the labelled themselves officially together. And Adam, well they had been partnered together when her and Jay got together when Hank switched them all around and he had actually been a good partner except from the fact every day he complains about not driving every time. There had been an situation which happened while she was visiting last with two of them, and she extended her stay until she was sure they would both be okay, which they were, but it didn't stop her from breaking down in the car when they had been called to a similar situation only to find the victims were worse off. Adam give her a shoulder to cry on and didn't question anything, he just wanted to make sure his friend was ok, she finally told him a small part of it while explaining why the next day in the locker room and let's just say that's the last throng he expected from her.

Somehow while lost in her thoughts they had done most of their journey from the airport to their new district. Their commander thought it was a great idea to had a small town unit and city unit trade places for 3 MONTHS! I mean the odds of it being the same place she if from is ridiculous but yet here they are. It was to strengthen the unit that don't get to see so much action and bring the ones that do close together.

Everyone in the unit are close and are like family knowing everything about one another, well apparently not Erin. And yet agin she was lost in waves of her thoughts and nerves only to be pulled out by Jay placing his hand on her thigh to give it a small squeeze. It brought a smile to her face knowing he was there for her, hell she always knew that but him show it made it more special.

They day had gone quite fast from then as they made it to the district to get settled in having new photos, parking spaces and codes done for them as their in a new state, and each of them picking their new temporary desk for them to work at.

Her phone started to go off more and more as they were heading to the places they will be living in for the next 3 months, which ironically happens to been in the same place as the one she has. She knew who the calls and text were off, she told them the time she would probably be arriving and they was excited to see her she knew that, and she was just and excited to see them. The team began to notice and she finally had no choice but to turn her phone off. Atwater was about to question it but Ruzek had pulled them all in for a conversation about what they could do with the 5 days they have free before the begin work. He made sure to state they needed to have a "guys night" in order to get all their attention and resulted in everyone but Erin and Kim playing poker tomorrow night.

Kim had suggested they visit the river court as it was a place mentioned often in her favourite book written about the people who lived her and who she desperately wanted to meet. That left her speechless. Nothing was coming to Erin's mind, she didn't know how to respond to that. Thankfully she didn't have to as they pulled up and she leaped out of the car, probably too fast.

It was night as everyone collected their keys and listened for the number they needed they became dazed by the sight of the docks and small illuminated lights of the small town, well until Kim started to squeal, right across from the river in front of them was the very same river court with a group playing a game on it. She was hyper and convinced it was them from the book.

Erin muttered "Shit" under her breath at no one in particular but the sound was caught by Atwater and Al sending a confused look across their face.
