STAMI Chapter 10: That Doppelgänger Life
Let's just say, Chenford didn't choose the doppelganger life, the doppelganger life chose them... Lucy gets recognized as Chloe at UC School and Tim steps in to help Chloe out in LA while Jake is out of town.
Excerpt:
As far as Tim was concerned, the last three weeks had moved at a snail’s pace.
He missed Lucy. It was that simple.
They’d hardly spent a night apart in the last six months and he didn’t like how their bed felt without her in it. It wasn’t about the sex, although he’d be lying if he said he didn’t miss that as well. He just didn’t realize how much it relaxed him to hear the soft inhale and exhale of her breath as she slept. Her pillow barely smelled like her at this point... and fuck, he missed the scent of her shampoo when she snuggled into his side and the smoothness of her skin under his fingertips. It was like his senses were in overdrive trying to pick up on all things Lucy.
If he didn’t have so much to do, he would have taken time off and joined her in Sacramento, but they were closing on the murder house in a few days.
He spent time after shift each night on Lucy’s old car so they’d be able to move it by the time they closed. When he wasn’t working on the car, he was packing up the house or fitting in a walk with Kojo and Tamara. With Lucy gone, Tamara had taken to confiding in him about Carl, and tonight she was on the verge of calling it quits.
“I just feel like I wasted so much time,” Tamara complained. “I helped him study for that class for hours and he still flunked it and before you say anything, it’s not because he’s stupid.”
“Then what is it?” Tim asked as they rounded the corner back to the house. Kojo’s tongue hung out the side of his mouth, a surefire sign that the walk had been long enough.
“He’s lazy, doesn’t care, and has no drive.” Tamara threw her hands in the air. “Carl hasn’t had to work for anything a day in his life.”
“And you’ve had to work for everything.” Tim acknowledged. “Not just work for it, fight for it.”
He knew the feeling. He’d had friends in school that went home to happy, stable families who cheered them on in their endeavors. Some of them were wealthy and some were not. It wasn’t the money that mattered though, it was the support.
Tim had a taste of that support. His mom had been at every football game and graduation ceremony, but she was limited by his abusive father in how far she could go to support him or Genny. If she did too much, Tom accused her of making them weak. She was constantly walking a fine line of self-preservation and doing what she could to get Tim and Genny to the legal age and out of that hellhole of a house.
The army had been Tim’s escape and Rob had been Genny’s.
By the time they found out about her cancer, it was already too late. She never got to see the people they became, but he knew she’d be proud.
“Exactly,” Tamara nodded. “He has no fight in him.”
“Then he’s not the right guy for you,” Tim said, careful not to sound judgmental even though internally he was doing a fist pump. Tamara deserved so much better than Carl.
“But he’s been so sweet to me, you know?” Tamara said, her eyes growing damp. “Besides you and Lucy, no one has taken care of me since my parents died. It felt good to be loved even if I don’t love him back.”
“Hey, come here,” Tim said and looped his arm around her shoulder. “Guess what?”
“What?” Tamara asked, wiping a stray tear away.
“You get to take a piece of that relationship with you,” Tim said. “You know more about what you need and don’t need next time. It’s good that Carl cared for you that way, and it’ll be even better when you find someone who can do that and match your work ethic.”
“Did you have that with your girlfriends before Lucy?” Tamara asked.
Tim thought back to his longest adult relationships and shook his head.
“There was always something missing, even with Isabel,” Tim told her. “That’s how I knew they weren’t my ‘Big Love’ and even though it hurt to walk away, it felt right to do it anyway.”
“Your ‘Big Love’?” Tamara teased, looking up at him. “I am totally going to tell Angela you said that.”
Tim rolled his eyes and tried to ignore the blush rising on his cheeks.
“She’s the one who coined that phrase so she’ll be thrilled to know she’s rubbed off on me.”
“That’s really sweet, though. Thanks, Tim.” Tamara sighed. “I guess I should end things, huh?”
“If it feels right to,” Tim agreed.
“Uhg! How do I even do that?” Tamara grumbled. “God, it’s going to be so awkward. He basically worships the ground I walk on.”
Okay, so maybe he didn’t completely hate Carl. He had clearly done something right.
“He plays football, right?” Tim asked.
Tamara nodded.
“Tell him he needs to hand in his playbook.” He shrugged. “He’ll understand.”
“You want me to tell Carl I’m cutting him from the team?” Tamara asked with a smirk.
“It’s just a suggestion.” Tim held up his hand in mock defense and unlocked the front door.
“I mean, I knew you didn’t like him,” Tamara laughed. “But that is cold!”

idk who needs to hear this but
dim & juicy = the nicknames chenford came up with for their doppelgängers
so
dim = jake ⬇️
juicy = sava ⬇️
jake & sava = tim & lucy’s doppelgängers
therefore if dim is missing, that means jake is missing. so chenford enlists juicy (sava) to help
Juicy and Dim are not the alter egos of Tim and Lucy as undercover agents. I mean, yes, they went undercover AS Sava and Jake in 5x01 ⬇️
But, juicy ≠ UC Lucy and dim ≠ UC Tim.
Juicy and Dim = Sava and Jake’s nicknames because they LOOK LIKE LUCY AND TIM. 😁👍
