Her Code * Chicago Code/Lword Crossover
CHAPTER 3
The central newsroom of the Chicago Sun Times hummed with the constant cacophony of clacking keys. There were reporters hunched over handwritten notes, some talked in a hush to unknown sources on the phone, and others typed away, desperate to make their deadlines. Tina Kennard, however, was oblivious to the excitement that surrounded her.
The weary blonde sat at her desk, flipping through the notes she had made when out riding with the Superintendent. She knew exactly how she wanted to proceed with Colvin’s profile, but she was having a hard time focusing on how she wanted to say it. Images of the beautiful brunette cluttered her mind – Colvin in her dress blues, Colvin in a smart suit that clung to her fit frame, Colvin’s commanding presence in a meeting – Tina felt a dull ache in her chest and a painful urge to drop everything and make her way downtown.
"Earth to Tina"
"Hmm?" The blonde reporter lifted her gaze from her monitor and looked over at her friend and colleague, Alice Pieszecki.
"Whatcha’ writing that’s got your forehead twisted in a knot?"
"I’m just writing; that’s all."
Alice continued to stare.
"Don’t you have something to do?" Tina grabbed her coffee and busied herself in her notes.
"I’m doing it."
Alice rolled her chair over to Tina’s desk, nearly knocking the cup out of Tina’s hand.
"Jesus Christ!"
"Sorry. Geez! So…did you see Superintendent ‘I’m so hot’ Colvin today?" Alice nudged her friend and laughed, "Come on, Tina. You know you like her. How could you not? My God, that neck, those eyes, and have you seen her body, I’ve never seen anyone look that hot in a uniform?"
"Alice."
"What?"
"Shut it. I’m trying to finish this."
The spiky-haired blonde sighed. "We never talk anymore. I never see you."
"I see you all the time, stop being so dramatic."
"Then why won’t you talk to me? Ugh…Talk. To. Me!"
Tina swiveled her chair around to face her friend, "What do you want me to say, Alice? Do I think the Superintendent’s hot? Of course I do. Do I think she’s a remarkable woman? Yes I do. But it doesn’t mean I’m falling in love with her."

such a fun story, you brought some of the TLW characters back…i half expected Bette to appear as well but that would be surreal LOL
she’ll be working late tonight. You should go to her – great idea ! :)
Absolutely loving it.
Yesthank you scaf. Can’t wait for the next post
MORE! MORE! MORE! Really love this story, thank you scaf!
I want to sit down and read this like a good book. Please post more and very, very soon. Loved having Shane and Alice in the story.
Each chapter is carefully crafted and so enjoyable to read. Can’t wait for the next one. You certainly have a discerning ear for each character’s personality and voice. Lovin’ it!!!
Well, scaf, you are doing it again. This is such a well crafted tale. I look for it every time I open up fanfic. I will happily be looking forward to your next well written post. Thanks.
I really really liked how you incorporated TLW characters in. Alice the journalist and Shane the photographer. I bet Helena runs the paper or is the editor in chief. lol. Really loving this fic!
Great story :)
Just as good here as the other place.
Great update! I just love Jarek poking a bit at Teresa. let’s hope that Tina takes Shane’s advice and goes to Bette’s office tonight. maybe Tina can provide the much needed support that Bette needs. Thanks again for the update!
JEEEJ PPS!!
Thats awesome and Tina got it bad, love the way Shane talk to Tina and hope Tina will go see Bette. Please post more, thanks!
Hey, I am 3 chapters too late, but welcome back!Chicago code is starting here next month and I cannot wait to see that wonderful woman on my 42′ screen tv! You are doing a splendid job and I am loving your story very very very much! Come to think of it I have enjoyed all your stories! :0) thank you
Go for it Tina!Love your story.PPS
I don;t know anything about Colvin, but I get her personality through your writing. Very different from Bette and exactly what I would expect a Superintendent to be. Excellent crossover!
Hey Scaf, I am loving that Shane and Alice have been added to this story and kept the essence of their characters. Alice is the loud mouth with a heart of gold while Shane, the youngest, is the most mature and adult about feelings and emotions. She actually listens to what people say and then imparts her wisdom. I do hope that Tina hears her and goes to visit Theresa. There is so much heat between them that answers are needed. more please. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Like most of you, I usually don’t do fics where Tina’s name is paired with another name than Bette’s. So it was funny to read it at first. But Colvin’s character being a perfect copy of Bette’s character (and you show it in the most perfect way), it all becomes very natural. What should it be: Thetina, Tiresa, Therina…? And I love that you keep a lot of TCC’s elements in this. Thanks and PPS. Kw – PS: LMAO @ B&TF’s comment, but please don’t bring Bette in this, that would be much too weird…
Hey Scaf this story is becoming my number 1!!! Go Tina! Go to Bette!!! PPS!!!!!!!!!! :)
I do enjoy reading this story! :-) still got no opportunity to watch CC yet except from the buzz in YouTube .. No idea when it will be aired here anyway in my mind TC is simply Bette :-p so if you really bring “real” Bette into the story, I guess my mind would be haywire for a while before find a new grounding :-p LOL post more please?? Thanks!!:-)
This is one brilliant story love the way it is heading looking forward to more.
Wonderful and I can’t wait to see what happens next. thank you love this story Scaf. You’re one of my fav authors. Thank you.
Excellent chapter. PPS!!
Thoroughly enjoying this parallel universe. It totally works. Theresa strikes me as Bette with impulse control. (@Kword75, “Therina” came to my mind, too, but now I’m torn between that and your “Tiresa” suggestion!)
Finally caught up. I love this story. Hope Tina goes to her and asks that question again. Great updates. Thanks for posting.
