"Hey, can I see you in my office?" Voight asked, leaning out of his office door and addressing Antonio. He jumped up from his seat and avoided the confused looks from his unit as he entered Voight's office, closing the door behind him.

"Yeah? Did I do something-"

"I need you to be part of an undercover operation," Voight stated plainly, yet obviously not telling him everything up front. He stepped behind his desk and sat in his chair, looking at Antonio and waiting for his response.

"Okay. So what's up? How extensive is it?"

"It's not too bad—won't take long. Few days?"

"Okay. So what else? You're not giving me much here," he said laughing nervously, placing his hands on the back of the chair in front of him.

"It will be a normal operation; we will work as your back up, be with you every step of the way. It's of minimal risk—we're trying to pin a guy with sex trafficking. He's running a prostitution ring in the city but recently we've heard rumors that most of the women are minors and that they are being forced into it. We don't think there are too many guys involved, so it should be easy to extinguish as long as we attack it now. We need you to get in and figure out what we are dealing with though before we go barging in there, you understand?"

"Yeah, sure. Just let me know what the plan is." Antonio nodded and turned to leave, figuring they would have a group briefing soon where he would get the rest of the information.

"That's the thing, Antonio. Hold on." Antonio stopped before he touched the doorknob and turned back around, his forehead wrinkled with concern. "You're not going to like it."

"So you're going undercover with your prostitute CI, but worse than that, you have to go into this place and pretend to hire her to-"

"Shut up, Ruzek! Yeah, that's the plan, and there's nothing I can do about it, so drop it." Antonio sat at his desk looking over the case files, running his hands over his head and leaning back in his chair with a sigh.

"Are you going to tell Laura?" Olinksy asked, looking up from his files and observing Antonio.

"She'd want to know, I just don't know how to tell her." Antonio dropped the files on his desk and stood up, grabbing his coat from the back of the chair. "Ay de mi," he whispered under his breath, putting his arms in his coat. "I'm going to head out, try to get some rest before we start. Night guys." He headed towards the stairs and bumped into Voight who was coming up. "Sorry, man." He patted his shoulder and moved out of his way, but Voight grabbed his arm.

"Listen, you know I would get someone else to do this if I could, but she's your CI-"

"No worries. I get it. I just want to get those girls out of there, okay?" Voight smiled and hit him on the back, letting go of his arm and moving away.

"Tell Laura I said hi!" he yelled over his shoulder.

"Ah, por supuesto." He laughed and headed down the stairs, waving to Sergeant Platt as he passed by.

"Have fun in the dog house!" She yelled after him.

When he got home most of the lights were out and the house was quiet. He looked down at his watch, unaware of how late it was. He went upstairs and quietly walked into Diego's room, carefully kissing the top of his head and taking a moment to simply look at his son, embracing the needed feeling of relief to know he was safe. As he walked back out in the hallway he peeked in Eva's room and made sure she was also safe in her bed.

He went back downstairs and quietly walked through his room to the bathroom, changing out of his day clothes. He carefully pulled up the sheets and lay down in the bed, trying not to wake Laura. As he pulled the covers back over him Laura stirred, making a noise as she slightly sat up on her elbows and looked around.

"Hey, hey, it's just me. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." She smiled with sleepy eyes and lay back down, pulling herself close to him and placing her hand on the side of his face for a second then settling in beside him, placing her head on his chest.

"How was your day, baby?" She laid her arm over his stomach and flattened her palm against his chest next to her head. "You must be exhausted, always getting in so late."

"I'm fine. Sorry I missed dinner, but I'm probably going to be getting back even later for a few days."

"Why? You got another family you're going to?" She whispered, laughing quietly.

"You know I can barely handle the one I've got now. No, nothing like that. I've been assigned to work undercover-"

"What?" Laura pushed herself off of his chest and propped herself up on her elbow, causing Antonio to sit up as well.

"Hey, it's only a few days and I've been assured it won't be too dangerous. My team will be with me at all times."

"What is it about? Or is that classified?"

"We're trying to extract some women we think are being forced to work as prostitutes; that's all I can say." Laura put her hand over her mouth.

"I can't imagine. But be careful. I need you here." She lay back down and hugged him tighter, moving her hand in circles over his chest. "I worry about you, all the time."

"I know, but I wish you wouldn't. I'm going to be fine." He thought for a moment about telling her about Jasmine's involvement, but with her already worrying about his safety he worried that Jasmine's part would only add more stress on his wife. "I'll be careful," he whispered, kissing the top of her head before laying his head back on his pillow and taking in a deep breath. "Oh, and Voight says hi."

Please leave a review! I hope all the characters are believable, and get ready for some upcoming drama! I love Antonio and the Dawson family, so I really want to show how his work affects his life at home and his relationship with his wife, especially in a situation like this.
