Not sure how long this story will be…thanks for the review already though that was really awesome !! Hopefully you enjoy!

Chapter 2

The ride to the crime scene was a quiet one in the lead car. Hank and Kat didn't talk, but it was a comfortable silence. After all these years he still got nervous when he was around her. Hank Voight, nervous because of a woman. His team would have a field day with that if they found out.

They had been called to the scene of a suspected robbery/homicide. Kat hung back watching the team work, taking in their dynamics. She saw Hank take charge , barking orders, and the team took notice of his change in attitude right away . They caught him a few times looking at Kat when he thought no one was watching, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, check it out." Ruzek elbowed Atwater and motioned to Hank. "Sarge is in love…" they grinned at each other chuckling, not noticing when Antonio walked up behind them.

"Hey, you might want to concentrate on the task at hand instead of gossiping like school children." Antonio admonished them quietly . "Voight getting back to his normal self is a good thing."

"No … yeah I mean… this girl… uh.. woman… must mean a lot to him is all." Ruzek started sputtering. He got the eye from Atwater and they went on speaking to the neighbors .

Antonio laughed to himself, they were right after all. Hank did look a little like a boy with a crush when he looked at Kat. Antonio understood, he himself had a crush on her when they were working patrol together, even while he was married to Laura. While he would have never acted on it then, he wondered how her coming back to Chicago would affect them. He walked over to where she was standing, nudging her slightly. "Whatcha thinking."

Kat jumped a bit and smiled . "Just watching your team, trying to get a feel for how they work." She pointed at Ruzek. "He's cocky, am I right?"

"You have no idea how much." Antonio smirked. "Al was the one that brought him in to the unit. Said he saw a lot of himself in the kid."

"Ah. I knew there was a reason I liked him… he was one of Al's projects." Kat grinned. "We need to grab a beer, I want to hear about them… all of them."

"Wait, you off whiskey ? I thought it was all you drank?"

Kat shrugged. "My tastes have changed."

They caught a glimpse of Hank walking towards them "Look alive, boss is on his way." Kat said winking at Antonio.

"Antonio what can you tell me?" Hank stood in front of the pair, arms folded.

"Victim's name was Peter March. 45, lived alone, looks like a simple BE gone sideways." Antonio reported.

"Cause of death?"

"ME said they believe blunt force trauma, but will know more once they get him on the table." He flipped through his notepad. "Atwater and Ruzek are walking with patrol, canvasing the neighborhood. Upton and Halstead are inside and Burgess is talking to the neighbor that called it in."

"Good. Can you take a look at the body? Tell me what you think." Hank asked her.

Kat shrugged "Sure." She followed the two of them inside . Grabbing gloves she approached the body on the floor.

"Boss?" Halstead looked at Hank who just waved him off.

"Katie – do your thing." Hank said.

She got down on the floor, scanning the body without touching it. Closing her eyes she imagined what the victim was doing, seeing , feeling in the moments before his death. He had a large wound to the back of his head , but in Kat's examination she determined the correct cause of death. "He was shot. " She said quietly, causing the team members in the room to stop what they were doing.

"What?" Halstead knelt down beside her. "Where's the entry point? The ME didn't see a bullet hole."

"They wouldn't." She pointed to the back of the victims head. "He was shot then bludgeoned. The perp did that to mask the gunshot wound." Hank held out his hand to help her up. "Thanks. You have to get close and smell, which I know sounds gross" she commented when the team gave her funny looks " but that's the only way you can get it."

Jay leaned over and made a face. "All I smell is blood."

"You." Kat pointed at Hailey who was standing in the doorframe. "Hailey right? You try." Jay gave her a strange look. "It's nothing personal, women have a stronger sense of smell is all."

Hailey knelt down and sniffed with a surprised look on her face. "I can smell the gun powder. It must have been close range. Execution style?"

Kat nodded. "I need to take a look at this man's background to build my theory." When she saw the other three officers come in she explained "My primary skill is profiling. Can we go back to the precinct and start working on it now?" she looked to Hank, eager to get started.

"Burgess, and Atwater finish getting statements from the neighbors . Ruzek start pulling pod and camera footage from the neighborhood. Halstead and Upton track down next of kin, and start a file on this guy. I want everything on my desk in an hour ." They all nodded and went about their tasks, leaving Kat, Antonio and Hank standing in the living room with the body.

"You still got it I see." Antonio smirked. "I thought Halstead was gonna hurl when you told him to sniff the body."

Kat shrugged. "Your men need stronger stomachs." She grinned at Hank, who chuckled and nodded.

Back at the precinct the reports and statements were in, and Kat was watching the video surveillance with Ruzek.

"So, if you don't mind me asking…" he began when she cut him off.

"Your time for questions was earlier Officer..." She smiled at him. "But I'll let it slide I suppose. What are you just dying to ask me?"

"Call me Adam ma'am."

Kat let out a laugh. " Ma'am?? Call me Kat."

"Right , Kat. So you and Sarge… really?"

"I'm confused as to why this is such a hard concept for you guys. " Kat smiled. "He's a great man."

"Yeah I mean , sure… it's just we haven't ever really seen him with a woman … like… ever." Adam shrugged.

Kat found that interesting. She would have to ask Antonio later for more details, but for now she turned back to the video. "There! Pause that."

The video showed a large male entering the house. They fast forwarded and didn't see him exit at all. "He must have gone out the back. Any way to see if there's footage at the back of the house?"

Ruzek busied himself over the keyboard, cutting his eyes over to steal a glance at the woman sitting next to him. Her hair was blond, skin pale with a permanent pink tint to her cheeks. She was pretty, and all of a sudden Adam had a hard time concentrating on the video with her being so close. "Can I ask you something else?"

Kat sighed a little but nodded, still watching the video playing.

"What's the deal with you and Antonio?"

Kat smiled warmly. "Tony and I are really good friends. I was there for Diego's birth, hung out with Eva when she was growing up. I don't have kids of my own so they were kind of like my surrogate family." She looked at Adam "Why?"

He quickly looked back at the screen "No reason. Hey, there's the guy again! I think I can zoom in on his face…"

"Bingo." They said at the same time.

"Boss we got something!" Ruzek and Kat walked in together to the bull pen with pictures in hand, and the rest of the team gathered around the board. "This is Daniel Mendoza, an enforcer for the Latin Kings. He entered the house about 8:50 through the front entryway and exited out the back about 10 minutes later." He posted the picture on the white board , writing the man's name underneath. "It looks like our vic might be tied up with a gang."

"Good work. Did the cameras catch him anywhere else after he left the house?" Hank looked around the room.

"No, pods and video surveillance lost him after he left."

Jay posted the picture of the victim "Kat was right , ME found a bullet lodged in the vics brain, looks like a small caliber. Too damaged to get anything off of it though. "

Kat nodded "We need to check with the ME for signs of torture . If this was gang related then they might have wanted information from the victim, a location of something or someone." She picked up her note pad and started writing. "Was the time of death in the window of when Daniel Mendoza was spotted at the house?"

"ME said TOD could have been anywhere between 8 and 11. So, yes? But it's a big gap." Jay replied.

"Okay, that's it for tonight. I want the pavement pounded tomorrow morning." Hank checked his watch "It's late. Katie, can I see you in my office?" he motioned towards the door.

"Still on for Molly's ?" Hailey asked and the group responded with affirmatives. "Kat?"

"Yeah, I'll catch up." She made a "Wait for me" gesture to Antonio who nodded and sat down at his desk while the rest of the unit grabbed their jackets and took off. Kat followed Hank into his office, waiting until he shut the door before talking. "I think I can get a pretty decent profile going –" she stopped mid sentence when Hanks mouth crashed down on hers. She was shocked for a moment before regaining her composure and slipping her hands around the back of his neck, pulling him closer to her. They broke apart before things could get too heated, but the kiss made Kat dizzy. She held on to Hank, looking into his eyes. "Wow." Was all she could manage to say.

"I wanted to do that since you walked in here this morning." Hank growled. "I've missed you Katie… more than you realize. Hell, more than I realized before just now." He leaned in again and kissed her forehead before moving back and staring into her eyes… he has forgotten how haunting they were -blue grey in color that leaned more blue when she was happy, and grey when she was excited about something. Right now both colors were prominently shining through.

Kat smiled "So are you coming to this Molly's they are all talking about ?" she ran her fingers down his arms that were still wrapped around her.

"I avoid that spot typically , there was bad blood between me and the fire fighters that hang out there." He leaned down to kiss her neck, causing her to moan softly. "Besides, I figured we could go home , catch up…"

Kat bit her bottom lip. "Mmmm Hank, I was planning on staying with Antonio. Don't you think your team would talk even more that they already are if I went home with you?" her breathing quickened when he bit down slightly on her collarbone.

Hank stepped back "You're staying with Antonio?" his voice raspy. He got jealous for a millisecond until he realized she was right. The team were like school children, gossiping and giggling about him already he couldn't imagine what they would do if he brought her home. "Yeah, that's probably a good idea." He stepped back further and went to open the door to his office before she stopped him.

"That doesn't mean I can't stop by for a drink later…" she leaned up and whispered in his ear "You can show me what I've been missing…" she kissed him on the cheek and opened the door , leaving him speechless. "Hey Tony you ready?"

He nodded and grabbed her bag that had been deposited by his desk earlier that day. "Voight not joining us?" he smirked at her , causing her face to flush.

She shook her head and Hank watched the two of them leave down the steps. He always did love watching her walk out of a room. He shook his head and sat down behind his desk, pulling out the bottle and a glass tucked in one of his drawers.
