Dov glanced at his watch and his face fell.
Chloe looked at him with those big eyes that made him melt every time.
"It's time?"
Dov nodded.
Chloe nodded and tried putting a brave face on.
They were walking hand in hand so Dov pulled her to stand by an antique shop, her favorite one because even the outside had antiques.
Chloe was sniffling trying not to cry.
Dov took her face in his hands.
"I will be back for you Chloe Price. Sooner than you think. And we'll play trivial facts."
Chloe nodded and smiled through her bleary eyes.
Dov pulled a small brown sack from his pocket.
"I lost you once Chloe..."
He held up an old ring-one she had tried on earlier in the day and fallen in love with.
"…This is my promise ring to you that I will wait for you and be back for you. Unless you just want to go with it and that's fine too we never have to promise anything-"
Chloe broke him off with a delighted kiss and hug.
"I'll take it Dov. I'll wait for you on the regular."
Dov smiled and hugged her tightly.
"I love you Chloe."
Chloe beamed up at him as he put the ring on her.
"I love you Dov. See you soon.'
And with that he was gone.
Three weeks later Gail glanced up from paperwork to see Frank striding by.
He looked upset.
Gail thought back to her conversation to her mother that morning and wondered if there had been more truth to it than she had thought.
"Sergeant Best-"
"Not now Peck."
Gail pursed her lips and watched as he poked his head in the D's office.
"Swarek, Nash, Calleghan, Interview 1 NOW."
The three Detectives glanced at each other before following him to the room.
Traci closed the door behind them.
She had never seen Frank this upset-and that was saying something.
Sam was studying him.
Luke broke the silence.
"What's this about?"
Frank ran a hand over his head.
"We have a problem-a very serious problem."
Traci stared at him.
"What is it Sir?"
Frank sighed from the depths of his being.
"Something is happening with our undercover teams. Not just ours…the entire areas. Last night a UC team was ambushed…it was a standard buy-should have been. This was not our people but we have reason to believe it soon will be…three other UC operations have been compromised in the past 48 hours. Four people injured and another Officer killed. They know where to find us and who we are."
Sam raised his eyebrows.
"We have a mole."
Frank nodded.
Luke moaned.
"On Guns and Gangs?"
Frank shrugged.
"No idea. All UC teams are being pulled out today but if this mole is high placed this may not stop here. We need to know what the agenda is. What do they ultimately want and how do we stop them."
They all nodded.
"I want you three making this priority but this DOES NOT leave this room."
Frank looked at Sam.
"Sam, that includes Andy."
Sam remained expressionless as Frank stormed out of the room.
Luke looked at Sam a moment before following Frank out.
Traci put a hand on Sam's shoulder.
"I'm sure it won't be for long."
Sam just smiled slightly-sadly-Traci thought and headed for the door.
