Character history

Upon the initial introduction of Lt. Taylor Thompson, very little was known about her history, aside from her obvious love of running. After several encounters and without so much as a name to put to her face, Jake challenges Taylor to a race in exchange for her name.

Around this time, it is revealed that Taylor was Frankie Hubbard's commanding officer when he served over in Iraq. Through this visit, Taylor states that she is the latest in a long line of soldiers in her family. Taylor attempts to present Frankie with the Silver Star, which he refuses. Taylor recounts to Frankie's parents that he was awarded the Silver Star after saving fourteen of his fellow soldiers following a suicide bombing. During this meeting, it is discovered that Taylor has been suffering from pain in her right foot, which may or may not be related to her last tour of duty. Frankie insists that she receive treatment for the injury, which she has aggrivated from her agressive running regimine, or she will be unable to survive another tour in Iraq. Taylor is desperate to return to Iraq, but doctors will not clear her for redeployment due to her injury.

When Randi Morgan saw Frankie hugging Taylor, she assumed something was up between them. This is when Frankie explanied to her that he and Taylor slept together a few times overseas, but meant it in the literal sense of sleeping in the same war zone.

At the Fusion party for Bella, Fletcher grabbed Randi in an attmept to kidnap her. Taylor grabbed him in a choke hold, then (after having flashbacks of her time in Iraq) broke his neck, killing him.
