Matt shut the apartment door taking a deep breath before walking back into the kitchen." What does this all mean?" He says frustrated getting the two men to stand from squatting over Katya's body.
"It means their on to us." Voight answers while Antonio starts to look for more clues." Apparently they knew we were meeting tonight and they are trying to frame you."
"Well how do they expect to frame me if I was out with cops tonight?" Matt crosses his arms." That's a pretty good alibi in my book?"
"Did my sister touch anything?" Antonio looks back at Matt as he cautiously walks around." Anything?" Matt just shakes his head a shrugs his shoulders." Are you sure a door knob, a kitchen faucet, anything?" He pressed harder.
"I don't know." Matt shakes his head again.
"Think Matt!" Antonio snaps.
"I am thinking, damn it." Matt snaps right back." She was coming out when I got here I don't know what she did before that." His voice got louder with each word.
"Let's calm down you two." Voight steps in now. He turns to Antonio now." You don't worry about your sister, she's got nothing to do with this."
"I don't want her dragged into my mess." Matt says to Voight." I don't even know why she was here." Then it dawned on Matt." Wait she came to tell me something tonight, could they be using her to get to me?"
"It's possible." Voight nods then looks down at the body." She never told you why she was here?"
"No she didn't." Matt just shook her head." Told me it could wait."
"She didn't do this sgt.." Antonio barks at him.
"I didn't say she did." Voight says bodly then turns to Matt." You were close with this girl right?" He nods to the body." Anything your not telling us?"
"Like what?" Matt snaps getting annoyed with what he thinks Voight is insinuating." You mean her and I?" Matt points between himself and Katya on the floor." Never."
"Matt were not insinuating anything." Antonio speaks up." Were just trying to piece this together."
" The hell your not insinuating." Matt still snaps annoyed." If you two think I'm hiding something then this whole situation won't work."
"Look let's just take a step back here." Voight speaks up breaking the tension." Your sister was hear tonight for something." He looks at Antonio." How bought we start there and find out why she came by."
"Let me go talk to her?" Matt asks but somewhat states too.
"I don't know if that's wise." Voight answers." I don't want you out wandering the streets right now?"
"And she should be?" Matt speaks with worry laced in his voice now." Then she should be with us, why did we send her away." He says ready to grab his coat.
"Maybe they would both be safe down at the district?" Antonio turns to face Voight." Let him talk to her there, get us some answers. Besides she'll open up to him first."
"Fine." Voight shakes his head looking over to Matt." You can talk to her but at district 21, Antonio will take you there, I'll have Burgess go pick up Gabriela."
"Fair enough." Matt nods in agreement slipping on his coat." What are you going to do here?"
"I'm going to get the medical examiner in here now, and forensic." Voight informs them as they both start to walk away.
"Hey um." Matt stops walking and turns back to face Voight." Thanks."
"We got your back, like I said." Voight nods before pulling out his cellphone, and Matt watches him for a moment then turns to meet up with Antonio by the door.
"Never thought I see the day I'd put my fate in Voight's hands." Matt let out a soft chuckle, as well as Antonio before he pats Matt's back and they are walking out of the apartment.
Gabby gets picked up by Burgess a short time later, but gets no answers from Kim about what's going on." I truly have no idea." She tells Gabby and they stay quiet from most of the short drive to district." Good luck ." Is the only other thing Kim tells Gabby as she pulls up to the back entrance of district.
"What is going on here?" Gabby asked frustrated just as Antonio walks out and opens her door." Oh great, you kick me out now I'm being summoned in the middle of the night."
"Just relax." Antonio chuckles at his grumpy sister.
"Is Matt Ok?" Her tone changing instantly to concern.
"No faith in your brother." He shakes his head as they climb the back steps. Once on the second floor he leads his sister to the interrogation room and leads her in, where Matt is already sitting waiting for them.
"Hey." Gabby chirped a little happier then intended and had to fight the urge to run over and hug him. Between the past two days of being trapped in the warehouse with Severide, then the fleeting moment of her thinking Matt was missing, to the most important moment of all her reading the results on that simple blue and white piece of plastic, she has to remind herself to keep her emotions in check." You ok?" She questions him as she moves to sit across the table from him.
"I'm good." Matt nods giving her a small smile.
"So what is all of this?" Gabby looks between both men ." Or am I still going to be kept in the dark here?"
"It's for your own safety." Antonio stands up against the big window behind Matt.
"You told me you had something to tell me tonight?" Matt leans forward on the table.
"Yeah." Gabby says quietly then glances to her brother." You pulled me out of bed for this." She huffs sinking back into her chair.
"Did someone call you or approach you." Antonio moves to stand next to a sitting Matt still." What brought you over there?"
"I used to live there you know." She snaps at Antonio." I don't treat me like a criminal your interrogating."
" Gabby." Matt speaks softly ." We're not, we just want to know why you came by to see me?"
"What is that against the law now." She huffs leaning forward closer to Matt." I'd prefer if you and I discussed this at another time."
"What's the big deal." Antonio snaps." You know you are being set up for murder and you won't even tell us why you were there."
Gabby's mouth fell open as Antonio turned putting his hands on his head, then his phone rings and he's quickly ducking out the door." Is that true." Gabby looks at Matt just getting a nod.
"Were alone now if you want to tell me, if your afraid to tell your brother."
"I'm not afraid, it just has nothing to do with him." Gabby sits up straight taking a deep breath, before leaning across the table grabbing his hand in hers." Matt the reason I came over tonight...I came to tell you...I'm pregnant."
Matt sat silent, stunned quiet for a minute before blinking a few times." Wait...what?" He shook his head like he was hearing things." Your, ...we're?" He points between the two of them.
"Yes." Gabby nods looking on with a soft smile trying to read his expression. Matt finally meets her eyes and his smile starts to grow as he squeezes her hands tighter, and just as he opens his mouth to speak Antonio walks back in.
"Hey am I interrupting?"
" Um." Matt glances at Gabby giving her a nod that they would talk later before looking to Antonio and releasing Gabby's hands." What's going on?"
"That was Voight on the phone, he just got back here."
"Ok?" Gabby drags out the word reading her brother's body language that something is wrong and to spill it.
"Is this yours?" He tosses a pair of black running pants in a plastic evidence bag." Do you recognise those?"
"Yeah." Gabby reaches across for the bag." I mean I have a pair just like them." She says as she looks closer.
"Does it have a matching black hoodie?"
"Yeah?" Gabby looks at him strange." Where did you get these?"
"In the bathroom at Matt's apartment." Antonio then puts down a second evidence bag with a black and grey hoodie which seemed to be blood stained.
"What the hell is this." Matt stood from his chair moving closer to Antonio, his anger at a breaking point." Now what does this mean?"
Just then Voight steps through the door and answers Matt's question for Antonio." Looks like they dragged Gabriela into this."
