can't change what you don't know

Splashed

*two months later*

Tatum had decided she wanted to walk to school with Riley today so the pair were currently en route, jay just let her fire away since he trusts her and he has no reason not to. He was currently sat in the bullpen waiting to the rest of the team to walk in, it had been really quiet in the city recently but the Q word was forbidden in this place and no one was allowed to say it, "hey ho" Kevin walked in and sat down at his desk, hailey followed behind, then Kim and Adam, Vanessa was last lap as usual before hank strolled in and went straight into his coop to find something for his people to do.

Hank suddenly walked out and announced their case but before he could do anything his phone rang, "we've got an active case c'mon" he waved them out. They all stood up and grabbed their belongings before running out to their vehicles and driving to the active hostage situation they had been called to. They were all stood pointing their long guns at the house when the man finally surrendered, he strolled out and let everyone go since he made a deal with hank, a deal he probably wouldn't get. As the team were stood around a cop car talking away, just waiting until they could go back to the district, jays phone rang.  Usually he wouldn't answer his phone at work but when he saw the caller ID he had to answer it.
Jay: "Tate? Shouldn't you be in class?"
Tatum: "that's the problem, we kinda got splashed on the way to school..."
Jay: "what do you mean splashed?"
Tatum: "a car drove past a huge puddle, we're both soaked right through..."
Jay: "ugh god, right okay. Can you walk home and get changed? I can come pick you up when you're sorted and drop you off a school?"
Tatum: "yeah I can do that..."
Jay: "alright, I'll see you soon"
Tatum: "yeah..."

                    Jay huffed and turned back to his team who had just heard the call, "tates been splashed by a puddle, she's soaked" he laughed a little.  Hailey opened her mouth in shock, "oh god, poor thing is she alright?" She smiled a little at jays laughing manner.  Jay shrugged, "she sounded pissed off but yeah she's fine, she's on her way home to get changed" he laughed again.  Just as he was about to put his phone away it pinged again, he looked down to see that Tatum had sent him a picture so he opened the chat and what he saw was hilarious.  He shook his head and showed the team, it was a picture of Tatum and Riley drenched from head to toe, "stop laughing at the poor things" hailey slapped jays arm while laughing herself.  Jay shook his head, "I'll never let her live it down" he responded to her message before putting his phone away.

                    There was a bad flash storm last night so there were puddles everywhere, Tatum and Riley just didn't expect to get splashed by one.  The pair walked back to tatums house before Riley kept walking to go back to her own house, she used her spare key to get inside and ran right upstairs to quickly hop in the shower.  She refuses to take baths after what happened so she quickly jumped in and out before changing into fresh clothes and throwing her nearly dry hair into a bun, she had already washed and dried it before she got changed so it wasn't as bad.  She emptied her school bags contents and threw the dirty school bag into the washing basket before putting her luckily dry books and pencil case into a spare backpack.

                    She grabbed her phone and texted Riley, her mood still slightly annoyed but she was beginning to find it funny.
Tatum: "you ready?"
Riley: "yeah I'm outside your house now"
Tatum: "just come in, I'm upstairs. I'll call my dad now"
Riley: "👌"

                   After a few seconds Riley ran upstairs and found Tatum putting some dry shoes on, "not gonna lie that was pretty funny" she laughed and flopped on the girls bed.  Tatum laughed, "it wasn't in the moment, you're face was priceless" she shook her head and stood up.  Both of them now clean, Tatum grabbed her phone, which was lucky to still function, and called her dad
Tatum: "we're ready"
Jay: "on my way"
Tatum: "thanks..."

                    Jay found himself now sat outside of his house at around 9:20am, he knew he wouldn't be able to contain his laughter once he saw the two girls faces after what happened.  After a few seconds the two teenagers walked out of the house, Tatum locking the door behind her, and climbed into his car.  Jay turned to face them, "how'd you manage to get splashed?" He laughed.  Tatum huffed, "some car sped right past us, didn't even swerve the puddle! then poof, waters everywhere" she put her seat belt on.  Riley laughed, "it was pretty funny" she shrugged.  Jay laughed, "I bet it was" he nodded and began driving to the school.  It didn't take long for him to drop them off, "try stay dry" he laughed as they hopped out of the car.  Tatum shot him an amused glare but waved as the pair ran into school

                Jay drove back to the district to join in whatever the team were doing now where he then strolled into the bullpen as Kevin spotted him, "how's tink?" He laughed, he too uses that nickname for the kid.  Jay laughed, "she finds it funny now, doubt she did in the moment though" he shook his head and walked over to his desk.  Hank walked out and laughed, "they back at school?" He nodded.  Jay looked back over his shoulder and smiled, "yeah they're at school, dry as well, that's a bonus" he shook his head and smirked.  Hank nodded, "good good" he laughed before returning to his hibernation room.  They all just shared a quick smile before carrying on with dreaded paperwork.  Things like this don't happen every day...

*not really a specific chapter lol, just thought it was a nice break from all the drama :)*
