Chapter 1: Welcome to Haven

Chapter Text

One of the proudest moments of Audrey Parker's life was graduating Quantico and getting her FBI Special Agent badge. It shows her, that even though she doesn't have a family, she still belongs somewhere, that she can still make a difference in someone's life. She takes her job and her badge very seriously. Sometimes maybe too seriously, considering her lack of vacation time taken. And her lack of friends and lasting relationships. But she makes a difference with crime solved, every perp apprehended, and that badge gives her the authority her small frame, blonde hair and cute demeanor rob her off.

She’s met guys in weirder ways than playing ‘show me your badge’ in a Haven standoff with a local cop, but she can’t help but be slightly charmed but the guy’s awkwardness. The fact that he can take her sarcasm and give it back makes her think this just might be a nice, simple, case.

But she was wrong. Instead she wakes up naked in a strange bed, and the fact that her badge is still there, right on top of a not-her-shirt, provides her with much needed comfort and confidence in a town that seems determined to take both from her.

But there’s something about this town she can’t shake, and as she ends her phone call requesting vacation time from her boss, she thinks she and her badge just might fit in here for a while.
