Erin's POV
I'm lying in bed staring at the ceiling while thoughts of Leslie Shay flood my head. It would seem that a kiss from a certain blonde is just what I needed in order to begin the process of getting over everything with the suicide. Before she kissed me I couldn't even breathe a single breath without the images running through my head and after that kiss all violent thoughts are minimally existent. I had an amazing sleep filled with dreams of various date scenarios, each dream was better than the prior. I guess even my subconscious is soothed by the beautiful woman just as much as my conscious thoughts seemed to be. Ugh tonight cannot come fast enough for me. I want to get to work, type up my paper work for the last case and get home. I know technically I'm supposed to be taking time off to "get over" things but come on…. Aside from Shay the only thing that will stop me from over thinking about it is work, even if it is just desk work.
Shay's POV
I thought I had ruined my friendship with Erin by kissing her. I don't know what possessed me to do it but she kept rambling on and on about being sorry and I couldn't think of a better way to tell her she didn't have to say it at all. It was amazing, definitely the best kiss I've had. When I pulled back and she wouldn't let me turn away it calmed my nerves. But now I have to figure out the perfect dinner date, well at least I think it's a date I'm not totally sure though. I do know date or no date, whether we stay just friends or become something more I want nothing but the best for her. So in favor of sleeping in late I'm up early on my day off attempting to plan the perfect…whatever tonight's dinner is.
Erin's POV
Erin is currently arriving at the CPD making the usual rounds of hi's and how are you's before heading up to the intelligence unit. Everyone in the unit is shocked that she's anywhere near the department because they had been told she had at minimal a week off. Antonio was the first to approach her and ask how she was feeling. Before they get anywhere near a conversation Voight approaches the team with a case.
They arrive at a bank where nearly everyone that had been inside was killed in the process of a robbery. This was no small time job either, the robbers managed to kill multiple people, wound two others all while getting away with eight million dollars. Whoever did this hit had to of been an experienced criminal, no first time thief goes for a score this big. And if it was a first offender, which I doubt the criminals in Chicago are becoming increasingly more stupid. Voight splits us into teams of two and each pair interviews one of the only two survivors…hmm that seems suspicious to me.
Either both these guys are extremely lucky and have some sort of angel on their shoulder saving them from death or one maybe both are in on this job. Something is just not adding up so I set off to interview my guy. When we reconvene with Voight later my theory was seeming more and more plausible. Both guys told us their version of the truth and one of them was definitely a liar. One claimed the assailants were white males the guy claimed they were darker males. Not sure who to believe at the moment we investigate more.
After much investigation we come to believe it was the Latin Kings that had been on the receiving end of eight million dollars. I knew Nadia had a connection to the gang so I told Voight I would get her to come in. After talking with her she agreed and we implemented a plan were Nadia and Burgess would go in and Officer Burgess would make the necessary i.d. After a somewhat successful raid we manage to get the location of the money but I can't be any happier to leave. Over all today was terrible and I can't wait for it to be over.
Stressed and overwhelmed with the case Erin left the station and headed home. Right now she wanted to forget the fact that because of her Nadia had to do a line of drugs jeopardizing her sobriety because Erin had asked her for help. It was her fault the girl had been involved at all, but she had brought her friend to the rehab center and she would help her get back on track. So for right now she was gonna take a hot shower put some pajamas on and just sleep the next day through. She was now thankful she had been on the receiving end a weeklong vacation. It was suppose to be closer to two weeks, but we all know she couldn't not be a detective for that long a time.
Shay's POV
Shay had decided on dinner at her place, for which she had reserved the apartment for the night so they would be able to talk interruption free for the evening. She had even taken a trip to a floral shop to but some flowers for the girl and a trip to the grocery store to pick up the necessary ingredients for dinner. After hours of cleaning the entire place top to bottom, arranging the table and cooking dinner that for Lindsay much effort was put into making.
Before she had left her house Shay had sent a text to erin telling her to meet at her place for 8 that night. By that time everything was up to Shay's image of perfect and she was confident that Erin would like it. She poured them both glasses of wine and had beers in the fridge waiting for the other woman. By nine o clock Shay had drank three glasses of wine and was sitting on the couch alone realizing she had been stood up. This was upsetting since she had cared so much for Erin and had put much thought into everything. Instead of staying home she called a grab and headed to Molly's for drinks. Yea she had beer in the fridge but right now she wanted something stronger, something that would numb Erin's rejection.
By two in the morning Kelly had to be called to pick Shay up because she had drank way more than she should have. He attempted to ask why she had gotten so drunk…and alone for the matter but Shay had been passed out before he could ask the first question. He tucks his blonde best friend into bed still having questions and making a mental note to ask her in the morning.
