Sally x Saul Tinker x Skylar Quinn x Lana Gray
* Quadrouple
The Quad Squad didn't come out of left field when it comes to Sally's feelings towards Lana Gray. Each liked each other for quite some time, but neither Sally, nor Lana acted on their feelings, out of respect, fear and friendship. Life happened, and Sally took a step aside a supported her as friend. The possibitilies of this kinship came into fruition when the group of friends, Sally, Skylar,Tinker all took out Lana out for a distraction from her relationship with Hanna that ended.
A few days passed and Sally and Tinker were busying running around doing the wedding prepation for their up-and-coming wedding leaving their friends and Sally's Maid of Honors alone to keep each other company. Throughout the day both Sally and Tinker were getting update's about Skylar time with Lana. Later in the evening she called freaking out about how quickly Lana made Skylar a loss for words. According to Skylar, her and Lana spend upmost of the entiradity of the two days that the others were gone. They quickly found how much of kindred spirits they were. 
The defining moment for this unique group came after the photo shoot for Sally and Tinker's wedding invitations. Back at the Richman Mansion, wedding prepations were in full swing and Salena and Tinker, left Lana and Skylar alone to help decorate the venue. Sally and Tinker's left to do more preparation, where they left two Lana and Skylar had spent more time together. Skylar came to her partners to decuss what Lana spoke to her about during their heart-to-heart and how they both care for each other, but Lana asked that she wanted to be more than just a plus one in her ever growing dynamic with Skylar. The Throuple discussed, the more pros then cons of Lana joining their partnership. Skylar asked Lana, "Will you be OUR girlfriend." in which she happily said yes. Skylar and Lana 's shared a special, intimate connection, a moment that Sally and Tinker supported from the sidelines and sooned joined in afterwards... Lana's addition to the group was seamless, transforming the throuple into a loving and supportive quadrouple.
After hearing the news of Lana and Skylar's engagement, Sally and Tinker were the first to know, and they spent their time back at the apartment, where they discussed the details of a possible date. Skylar mentioned something in passing, asking if the state would allow couples to marry, wanting to continue with Tinker and Sally in her happiness with Lana. Sally was immediately bored, and she called [[Gavin Joy]], who was the judge who married them, asking if it was possible. The answer was yes, but they needed to act quickly due to the state wanting to make bigamy illegal due to limiting the number of people one would be married to. He stated that if they could get married before the law went through, there would be a high chance of being grandfathered in.
Sally ensured the couple that they needed their wedding; then they could deal with the idea of being married together later; jokingly (maybe), there were talks of combining a new last name between all of them, where they all loved Bishinker and jokingly said they were all on board, while Tinker realized that their last names made the abbreviation of GBTQ and with Lana's first name... it would be L.G.B.T.Q.
Sally x Saul Tinker x Skylar Quinn
* Throuple
Weeks later, Skylar unexpectedly encountered Sally and Tinker at the DMV. Skylar's ongoing support for Sally and her wellbeing, this led to light-hearted undressing jokes. Despite Sally's initial awkwardness, Tinker humorously remarked that Skylar 'had the pass.' In a half-joking manner, Skylar suggested that she could join them if they ever wanted to add some excitement to their love life. Tinker was surprisingly supportive of the idea of bringing Skylar into the folds. Sally and Tinker had a short but sweet conversation outside the DMV, where he said she'd be able to bring Skylar, on one condition, that her heart was his. This playful proposition unexpectedly turned into a serious conversation with the two outside the DMV. Sally admitted her desire to be intimate with Skylar, a sentiment that Tinker openly supported. The trio mutually agreed to let this new dynamic unfold after the block party in honor of Jerry Callow's new road that was being unveiled that night.
At the block party, Tinker had to go to work and left Skylar and Sally to themselves amidst the festivities. While ended up leaving early for a more serene setting at the beach. Here, they shared a heartfelt conversation. Sally confessed her longstanding affection for Skylar , expressing insecurities about the bedroom. Skylar reciprocated, revealing she had harbored feelings for Sally weeks ago, but had refrained from acting on them out of respect for Sally's boundaries and considering the attention she was already receiving from many others. The night continued as they headed to Sally's and Tinker's apartment. In an unexpected twist, they encountered Alexandra Leeds in the hallway. The situation turned awkward when Sally openly mentioned their plan to engage in an intimate encounter, including Tinker. Sally didn't know the dynamic between Skylar and Leeds. After the encounter, they quickly went inside. Sally and Skylar attempted to watch When Harry Met Sally, while waiting for Tinker to return home from the block party. With Tinker's arrival, the evening unfolded into an unconventional yet consensual exploration of their relationships, marked by Tinker's presence as an observer. Their experience together was a 17/20, assuming there was some first time jitters.
The next day, the day seemed normal, the threes dynamic didn't seem to change. The three of them went about their day and went on duty. While in front of the city hall Sally ended up calling up Skylar to let her know that Baker and Leeds where both mobbing around over their failed relationship. Skylar was quick to run across from Mount Zonah Medical Center to come get more 'tea.' During the courtcase, that Baker had to attend, Sally noticed that Skylar was very close and waiting on her words, and ensuring that Alexandra Leeds saw her hanging over Sally to try and Sally assumed that it was to prove that the two of them wouldn't happen again. Sally wanted to let Skylar know a secret that she hasn't told anyone. Skylar was very eager to hear about it, and Sally spoke about how Tinker proposed to her and she would love Skylar to be her maid of honor. Skylar quickly said yes, and in fact she had some ideas for where the wedding and reception, where her aunt, Bridie Quinn had her wedding. Since Sally was waiting for Baker to finish up in court, Skylar and Sally jumped into her squadcar and headed out to Richman Mansion. The two explored the property, bouncing ideas back and forth. 
During the trial, a 911 disbatcher called over the radio saying that an officer was robbed of his gun and police equipment, and additions were needed, hearing that they would be going to Mount Zonah Medical Center. Where a conversation between OnePac and another man that went by the name of Murder Hill, went south fast. Where suddenly a shots broke out, and Sally took action and returned fire at one of the assailants that shot at her, she was only able to down one when she was shot from behind. Once Sally was taken inside, she was excorted to surgery where Skylar assisted the doctor. Sally became stable, and Skylar realized that she did NOT in fact have Tinker's number. Sally seemed to be normal after surgery and was released, where she was taken back about the sheer amount of blood spred across the ground in front of the hospital. Sally tried to compose herself and took moment. 
Skylar and Sally arrived back at VPD, where Sally seemed off, as if her mind was trying to process what had just happened. Tinker came acrossed Sally and informed her of her mandatory psych eval that is needed after an officer involved shooting. This was quickly denied by Sally, and she went back on patrol, actually, she unknowingly headed back up to Sandy to finish her report on the porch of the home that resides on her father's land. When she was finished, she looked up to see both, Tinker and Skylar waiting for her to be ready to talk. 
Bishop did what Bishops do best, avoid and avade. Tinker and Skylar, tagged teamed Sally by trying to get her to open up about what was causing her spirial, but in the end of the attempted intervention Sally ended up driving off back to the city to go 42, since Tinker refused to let her get back on duty until the psych eval was completed.
Later that evening, Sally attempted to call Tinker and was unsuccessful. Sally called Skylar asking where Tinker was, giving hints of how she was drinking and driving. Skylar pleded her to stop and was hung up on. Tinker was called next, and he once again failed to answer. Skylar sent out a SOS to both Tinker and a few EMS friends to keep an eye out for Sally's white truck. Tinker found her first, sadly to her being pulled over deputy and Joe Ferraro was second on scene. Joe took it upon himself to help with officer discretion since he believed her to be a good cop, just a bad day. Fast foward to the morning, Tinker brought her to the Lakeview Trailer Park where Dr. Quimbley Hayabusa was at in order to complete the psych eval. After she was given the pass, once again, she deep dove into work and shut down her feelings that both Tinker and Skylar were trying to have her open up about. The three of them, continued with innuendos towards each other with what the evening might entail. This was all while a few others were in the squadcar headed back to the city to get food at the Cluckin' Bell. Later on, Skylar was invited back to Sally and Tinker apartment, where they attempted to watch, When Harry Met Sally... again.. (unsure of the roll.) 
Late in the afternoon, Skylar texted Tinker that the two of them wore her out the night before and she asked for food, which caused Tinker and Sally to run to the apartment to see her and drop off food. Tinker and Sally offered Skylar to move in with them at the new apartments. They mentioned that Tinker was needed at the Grapeseed Sheriff's Department and the PD car wash was today and asked if Skylar would like to come with. For most of their time together, Skylar was very vocal of their adventous nights together, which continously made Sally stumble over her words. Arriving at the PD, Baker ended up dressing Sally in her official PD carwash bathing suit outfit that caused both Tinker and Skylar to be stunlocked. Where Skylar was quick to ask to go home, due to her feelings of seeing Sally. Tinker jokingly suggested the S.W.A.T. room. This unexpected pause in the three's day but a 20/20 was rolled... Sally went to drop off Tinker at the carwash, and quickly drove off as per Skylar's request to take her home, Sally walked her to her door.
Saul Tinker
* Husband
a fellow officer of the LSPD, started to enjoy the time on patrol that Sally looked up to as a superior due to his previous experiences. During their time together during the radio blackout, they found out that he is afraid of heights and with her 100% fall rate. After their time looking for drug dealers at the Pier and spending time falling off roofs, well… at least Sally did. (Not a Date) After Maddox stole their Buffalo, they tracked him down. Tinker expressed how he believed it was a date and apologized for not asking her. Sally apologized for kissing him without permission, and he said she had it. The two spoke about how they would like to go on another date, that he would have to talk to Sloan because they hooked up before, and that it couldn't happen again. Tinker has made a few mistakes since the last time Selena, and he, spoke.
After conversing with Sloan herself, Sally found out that he'd be lying about their relationship and that they were indeed an item. He made Sally, the other woman, causing Salena to go down a downhill spiral that didn't end well for either party. The two of them spoke, and Salena wanted to take a step back, and be just friends… at least for a while. Well, this didn't last long, and the two went on multiple dates within one day, which let them spend the night together watching movies and talking about their relationship. After an evening where Tinker rented out the Kortz Center, with no one in the stadium, where Sally would be able to sing to an audience of one. According to Tinker, this was to prove a point, where he spoke about her father, was mistaken and not all musicians are lazy.
That next day, Sally and Tinker spend their time on duty on-boarding Deputy Shane Powers where they hit the ground running. Though, during their shift, a massive hiccup happened where they had an incident that involved Dick Dudley which led to both Tinker and Sally in the hospital. Sally spent the night in the ICU after a serious head trauma that led to brain surgery and Tinker's ankle twisting complete backwards. That next day, after Gray and Baker picked her up from the hospital and when the next time Tinker saw Sally, she was different. Well, not different… but something was off, her voice was seductively. Lana, Hanna, Tinker all fell head over heels for Salena and her new-found condition. After a 'fun-filled' day of the policing, Tinker and Sally had a night together, where Sally, just like her father… rolled a 20/20 where Sally lost her card. New Year's Eve, Sally, Baker, Gray and Tinker all went to the New Years Party in Legion Square dressed as 'Bob's Angels' where they all had fun shooting fireworks and having a photoshoot. The girls were dressed up a 'Bob's Angels.' The evening ended with Tinker officially asking Sally to move in with him, and Sally asked if they could officially go public about their relationship, due to her feelings that she doesn't care if anyone knows.
Skylar Quinn
* Girlfriend
Skylar tends to call her Sally, unless she needs to get her point across Sally, especially when she's being stubborn.She met a woman who works for the EMS, who brought her back to the LSFD's fire house for some talks. She spoke about how she never had time for movies due to working. After Skylar heard that she slept in a trash can, she gave her a key to her apartment. This flustered her, and she was saved by the conversation due to an officer down, and she had to run to assist. She is her pocket EMS, who tends to fumble over her words while she's around, not understanding her feelings while Skylar is around. As time grew on, Sally truly cared for Skylar but didn't know how to express it, and once Tinker came around, she thought it was best to let Skylar see that she loved her; she'd do ANYTHING for her and would probably kill anyone who attempted to her; but (There's always a but…) she was having feelings for another. A few days went by, and Sally ended up calling her to help her understand a feeling of heartbreak that she had never understood, Skylar went running and helped her throughout the day, but Selena never answered Skylar's question, "Why Her?" -- Out of all people to call for help, why did she call her? Selena wasn't sure how to answer her question, that It was because she was the only one who mattered, that would come. Due to many factors, their relationship has turned to friendship and call each other when things get a bit out of hand, usually emotional distress.One day, Skylar called Sally in tears, wanting her to… Well, not sure, Neither one of the did. She asked her to come to Sandy Shores Medical Center, where it may have taken a bit, but when Sally rushed as fast as she could. Once she arrived, she found Skylar hiding in the storage closet of the ambulance bay. Skylar spoke to her about how her "Shakiras" were out of line and that her life was out of focus. After Sally sat down with her, to helped to calm her down a bit while Skylar deflected her problems and asked "Why Sally wanted to please her dad so much?" And her response was that, "If she does enough, he'll come back." her reasoning was that if she was busy with work too, her dad would find out and would give her the time of day.
This was the first time Skylar has seen Sally since the day that she had almost died, twice… so she was grateful that she was alive. Skylar spoke of being lost, Skylar finally spoke out about Nova and her feelings towards her. She also spoke about how she may have found her aunt's killer, which was a lot to unpack. Sally knew that Skylar's mind was going a mile a minute, and she doesn't often open up about her emotions to many, but Sally is different. Skylar started throwing out Hypotheticals, and spoke of how her family treated her poorly for over 20 years, and her aunt, who was a cop, the only one who cared for her. Skylar spoke about how she loves Nova, but she tends to treat her like 'shit' but she still cares for her. Sally compared Nova and Maddox on how they both care but tend to treat you like shit in the process, and if they treat you poorly, they don't truly care. Skylar spoke how she needed her person, and that Sally was her bestie. Skylar slipped and said that Nova hits her, and Sally asked plainly, "If she abused her." Sally showed a side of her, a very protective side, saying it wasn't okay, she doesn't approve of how she's being treated. There were evening threats of killing if Nova hurt her in a way, a physical way that wasn't consensual. The torture that Skylar has been enduring was more mentally then physically, but she was telling Sally that she enjoyed that physical aspect but can process the how, why and believes something is truly wrong with her. Sally, wanting to help, offered food, cause that fixes everything. Their relationship solidified Skylar as Sally's best friend – someone she loved and they both felt compelled to protect each other at all costs, from Nova, Tinker… Anyone who would hurt the other.

Lana Gray
* Girlfriend
Sally met Lana when applying for her driver's and gun licenses at the DMV. Lana had been pressed into service as an interviewer, but upon hearing that Lana wasn't getting paid for her time there, she quickly convinced her to find more profitable work. They are both daughters of police officers looking to join the force, working at Cluckin' Bell to make money until they can become cadets. She often confided in her about things she didn't understand; Sally also kissed her to demonstrate how Maddox kissed her; there was strange tension between the two. There has always been a strange tension between Sally and Lana, where you know there were feelings for each other but, one wasn't sure if they'd act on it. It almost feels like star crossed lovers. There's been remarks about wanting to be together, but has always been a settle undertone. 
After Sally's recovery time in the ICU at the hospital where she received surgery from a massive brain bleed, Lana was asked to pick her up. This led to a series of interesting events were due to her traumatic brain injury where her voice turned seductively. Tinker, Hanna, and Lana all fell head over heels for Salena and her new-found condition. During their time, all together, Lana got to know Hanna more, and it seemed to be promising. Sally and Lana's relationship has stood fast through quite a bit of things. Sally has been very vocal about being protective of Lana, regardless of the context. When Sally caught Hanna and Candice DeFitt being a little more friendly than one should be, while being in a relationship.
Edward Maddox
* Old Partner
a fellow deputy who transferred to LSPD and told her he enjoyed going out on patrol with Sally. Maddox also is Sally's first kiss. Sally, not understanding anything about romantic feelings, described her kiss with Maddox as having a sick but exciting feeling in the pit of her stomach. Her friend Lana said those are called butterflies. After picking up Salena from the hospital and hearing about Sally's sniper incident with Mayor Breaker and JFT Jr., he became overprotective, almost controlling of his partner. This was due to his concern for her well-being; throughout the day, this sprung some red flags, such as the victim blaming her for leaving the apartment and the removal of her service pistol. There were even threats of pulling rank over her once he became Sgt. Between the two, there is not much room for understanding their feelings. They tend to open up to each other when tensions run high.
Due to him not using plain English about his feelings, Salena started to pull away and once Tinker came into the picture, the possibilities of any relationship slipped away. With how Maddox continued to undermine her at every chance, while at work, their friendship started to fade away. Maddox has been trying to reach out to mend their friendship.
Bambi Daniels
* Friend and Coworker
One of the dispatchers of both the LSSD and LSPD that is a fellow workaholic like Sally, the two of them warmed up to each other over issues about the PD that needed to be resolved.

Bambi doesn't have many friends and often likes to speak with Salena over issues professional and personal.
Louis Bloom
* Higher up and Friend
A deputy of the LSSD that Sally looks to as almost a big brother, whom she loves to annoy daily. He's been known to help her with police procedures and unwarranted relationship advice.

Sloan Morgan
* Supervisor
Sally and Sloan joined the force at the same time, but shortly after, Sloan got promoted to Sgt. The two had a 'talk' (by talk, meaning about Sally running away the whole time) about Tinker and how she went out on a date (well, 'not a date') with him. She was told that Tinker and Sloan weren't dating, but it seems otherwise. Sloan stated that she still considered them friends and respected her, that the job comes first while on duty, and that they wouldn't discuss it, just that she appreciated her being truthful. Salena's response was, "At least someone had to." The two of them seemed to have mended ties over the personal relationships they've had with Saul Tinker and everyone's opinions over their triangle relationship of issues.
Brooklyn "Hanna" Baker
* Ex-Friend, their relationship has turn to professional only.
A fellow police officer of the Los Santos Police Department, her and baker became quick friends while out on patrol. There have been hints from Hanna that she liked Sally. The two bounded over the nonsense that Edward Maddox pulled between, Hanna, Léo Keller and Sally where he was 'wooing' them all. Lana Gray got a phone call from Sally to pick her up from the hospital after her being released from being in a coma that caused serious head trauma that led to brain surgery. 
Hanna asked Sally if she would be able to help her out with talking to Lana, she spoke to Sally saying that she likes her but understand that she (as in Lana) likes Nova and wouldn't want to cause 'drama. Salena was eager to help because this would get Lana away from Nova, due to Sally's feelings towards Nova with how she's been treating Skylar. Salena seemed fine at the time when they left the hospital, but when they arrived to the Vespucci Police Station. Sally was tripped and fell in front of the station, where she hit her head on the side walk, and suddenly Sally's voice changed, to a very seductively.
This took Hanna by surprised and took the day to patrol with Lana, Hanna, and Tinker all falling over her every word. Later in the day, Sally took the four of them up towards the overlook, where Tinker and Sally left Hanna and Lana alone for a bit.
After what Baker put Lana through, Sally's views on her changed dramatically and it left a poor taste in Sally's mouth about everything that happened.
Shane "Shaneo" Powers
* A deputy that she onboarded.
a deputy with the LSSD that Sally onboarded and quickly took a liking to, a hard-working, shit taking deputy that is certainly a quick study. The two of them bonded over time patrolling out on the streets, and he enjoys his time with her, though often filled with anything from high-speed chases, grave robbers and other chaos that might endure on a daily shift of Los Santos. Shaneo has been wanting to transfer to the LSPD, but wanted to wait until he's confident enough to run things out on his own.

Freddy was the only one that was immune to her voice.
Lenny Falcone
* Lawyer and Friend
A lawyer that Salena often used for reputation for 95s down in the cells. She ended up enjoying his banter, and how he's one of the few competent lawyers in the city, and she can deal with. Bishop heard word that he was going to switch sides to the prosecution, and work directly under the AG Salvatore Greco. After getting the job, officially, he asked Bishop if he could do a ride-a-long to see the police's side of things. That a ride-a-long would allow him to see where, and which laws that need adjusting. The two of them ended having a bust from a routine traffic stop from Veronica Mossberg, where a gentleman did a hit-and-run with another car, just to find the truck's glove box to have over 126 buds of weed. Lenny was taken by surprised and asked if this was a daily occurrence. He considered Salena and Saul Tinker a friend, and often jest about stealing her man away if she doesn't treat him right.

Sally's "Auntie" who she was known from when she was a kid, it's been since she was 13 since she saw her last, after everything that has been going on in Sally's life, she reached out via postcard to reconnect with her.
