Only best friends? | Jake Peralta x reader

M.E. Time (part 2)

"Boyle, where's my paperwork on that DOA?" The captain asked him.

"Still waiting on the autopsy report.
Supposed to come in first thing this morning, but so far, nothing" Charles answered.

"This is unacceptable. I'll call the M.E. and find out what happened"

"Eh, bup-bup-bup-bup-bah. That's not necessary, sir. For the record, I think it's natural causes anyway, but I'm also the secondary in this case.
It's my responsibility, so I will head on down there and pick up the report" Jake irrupted in the conversation.

"Good. But don't ever bup-bup-bup-bup me again".

"Right, I don't know-" he was interrupted by Holt.

"Bup-bup-bup-bup... Bup-bup-bup. Just go".

"Yep, I am going to regret teaching him that one" Jake muttered.

"You're incredible" Y/n scoffed.

"I know" he smirked.

"Rosa, can I show you something?" Boyle asked her.

"What's up?"

"Patterson's wife told me that they were going on a cruise together next month, but her credit card bill shows only one ticket booked.
Either she's lying or she knew he was gonna die"

"Huh, nice find, Boyle" she smiled.

"This could be a murder. Where's that autopsy? Jake went down to the M.E. an hour and a half ago. He still hasn't got back to me".

"Jake went to get the autopsy report?" She asked, surprised.

"I know. Isn't he the best? I mean, he's really coming into his own as a secondary.
I wanna get him something nice.
Does he come across more as a Pinot guy or more of a Shiraz?"

"You know what? We better go down there.
See what's holding him up" Rosa proposed.

"Good call" Boyle agreed.

"I don't want to miss this one," said Y/n, getting up from her desk.

"Detectives. Hello" dr. Rossi greeted, putting on the gown.

"Shirt's buttoned wrong" Rosa commented.

"Huh. So it is. Well, how can I help you?" The woman asked Charles.

"Uh, we came by to get that autopsy report.
Is Detective Peralta here?" He asked back.

"I haven't seen him" the woman said and Y/n scoffed as the doctor tried to push Boyle towards the exit.
"Thanks for coming by".

But Jake coughed hard.

"Hold on. Found him" Rosa said, opening the cold room and pulling the stretcher towards her, on which Jake was lying.

"Ah, thank goodness you're here. I am so lost.
Do you know where the vending machines are?" Jake tried to recover the situation.

"You're a disappointment, Jake" Y/n said with her arms folded, not looking at him.

"Look, it's not what it seems like" he said as he put a towel on himself.

"Yes, it is" Rosa added.

"Yes, it is. Here's what happened. I came down here to get the autopsy report and in conclusion, here we are.
Now if you'll excuse me-"

"Cut the crap, Peralta" Diaz interrupted him.

"Look, I'm sorry I slowed down the autopsy results, but everyone knows it's natural causes"
