New Kid on the Block

I felt the butterflies well up in my stomach as I walked into precinct 21. I shouldn't be nervous. I could have my pick of technology related jobs. The FBI had been courting me for months. I just didn't want any old job. I wanted to make a difference, and I thought I could in Hank Voight's intelligence unit.

I walked into the precinct, and gave my name to the miserable desk sergeant behind the desk. Her eyes sparked a bit of interest when she heard my last name.

"Severide, huh"? She said. I felt her eyes look me up and down. "Any relation to"….

"Yes", I interrupted. "He's my brother. Or my father depending on which one you're talking about". I replied.

She gave a little smirk at my smart mouth, and motioned for me to have a seat.

"He'll be with you in a few" she said.

I took a seat and riffled through the folder I had brought. I was nervous. Not about any of the technical questions. I could answer them in my sleep. I was nervous to meet and possible work for the legendary man himself. The man who had been knocked down so many times, and still always seemed to be untouchable. Hank Voight.

"Kara Severide." It was a statement not a question.

"Yes" I answered looking up at the gravely sound of the voice.

"Hank Voight" he answered. I stood up and shook his outstretched hand.

"Come with me" he said and turned and walked up the stairs.

"So much for pleasantries" I thought and followed his retreating form.

Let me know what you think
