Author’s Note: This oneshot picks up at the end of “A Night Owl” (3x15).
The ringing ceases with an audible click, and then her gravelly, giggly voice filters through the speaker and into his ear. The sound of it tugs his lips upward into a smile; the question contained within it causes his own chuckle to burst forth because, yeah, he kind of does have the munchies now.
“Starving,” he tells her, and his smile deepens as her laughter cuts through the phone, as he follows her instructions to hold on and listens to muffled words as she tells someone not to leave something anywhere. He has no idea who the someone or what the something might be, but his attention is pulled from what he overheard to the silent mimicry of the last two people exiting the store.
The former Marine who cracked jokes about a pot shop being his stepping stone out of rehab stands silently by the front door; his military training evident in the way he positions his body and keeps his eyes scanning the horizon as his boss - their boss - works on locking up for the night. Jay’s brow furrows when he spots Brianna patting the guy’s chest as she says her goodbyes for the night, when he notices how the gesture causes the guy’s eyes to widen slightly and his jaw to lock tighter.
Yet the furrow in his brow releases when he hears he say his name, and Jay shifts slightly in the driver’s seat of his car as he drags his attention back to the woman on the other end of the line. Gives a small nod in farewell when he catches Terry’s attention as the former Marine watches Brianna dart across the parking lot to her car, as his new coworker eventually follows her lead and heads to his own pickup truck parked three spots down from Jay’s car.
“Are you done for the night?” The voice in his ear questions, and Jay offers a hum in response before asking if Erin still wants to grab dinner. “Yeah, I gave Burgess her toothbrush so I’m good for dinner.”
“Her toothbrush?” Jay questions because he has no idea how a toothbrush became a part of getting drinks with Burgess and some of the women from Med or Firehouse 51. But Erin’s soft chuckle accompanies instructions not to worry about it, and she shifts the conversation to be about when and where they want to meet for dinner.
