Chapter Twenty-Eight: Halloween II
Jake and Rosa had both managed to get the weekend off. Despite Rosa's task force taking up 90% of her time, she had no major leads, and was able to have the weekend away. She and Jake left work on the Friday night, and had Friday and Saturday night away in a hotel in Ulster County. Where they had gone for their weekend when they first left the Academy. For the same amount of time.
It really rekindled them. Jake had started to forget about Amy more, whilst Rosa had fallen deep, if not deeper for Jake.
They had spent all day walking, seeing the beautiful sights and laughing, they had spent all evening enjoying dinners and joking around, and they had spent all night making love. It was incredible. They forgot all about the Nine-nine. All about the task force. All about Amy.
Too soon, they had to come home, and they came straight back into the hype of Halloween. Halloween was on the Friday, and the Monday where they came back, it was all getting started. Ready. Jake was more excited about the heist, which he hoped to repeat that year. He had a plan. A masterful plan, which Rosa had helped on.
After a morning of picking Boyle's Halloween outfit, and concluding on none. Rosa sat at her desk with Amy, going through some local drug dealers, watching as Jake waited patiently for Holt to arrive, then amping him up. Jake was sure that he would win, and offered 5 weeks of overtime, for free.
Jake went back to his work, whilst Rosa was called in to the briefing room with Amy and Terry. Gina was excused and soon after, everyone was called into the briefing room, by none other than Jake, wearing a magicians hat.
"I was behind the door" He said jumping out "Greetings Comrades, and welcome to the most important briefing of your lives" Jake said. "As you all know, the holt-Peralta Halloween bet has been made. Ad the clock doth tick" Jake said
"What's with the tux?" Rosa asked,
"I decided to class up this years event. I bought it off a disgraced magician, and it is... Chock-full of scarves" He said pulling scarves from the sleeve
"Now. Let's get started. I was planning this for three months. You've all been given a specific role and a code name. Rosa, you're the Dagger." Jake said. Rosa smiled she had picked that name herself.
"Sarge, the hammer. Amy. The Hall monitor" Jake said, passing over Amy's celebratory 'suck it' comment "Scully and Hitchcock, I'm just going to call you by your real names so you don't get confused" Jake said. They agreed. "And Boyle, as requested. You will be the deuce" Jake said "Although I still think you should reconsider that code name" Jake added
"Nope. Deuce. It's like Ace but twice as cool" Charles insisted
"No it is not. It's a turd" Jake replied "Now, because of last year the Captain will suspect that you are all helping me" Jake said and continued to explain the plan.
Rosa pretended to be pissed and worried when Jake mentioned using Fingers, but she was the one who suggested bringing his in. Rosa knew about the endgame. She knew that she was also helping the captain, and McCreary was one of her friends. She knew that she was betraying Jake, but after everything with Amy, he couldn't really hold a grudge.
Rosa waited until her cue in the bullpen. She watched Sarge freeze the door, and stood up.
"You're up Dagger" He said. She somersaulted to the door.
"No need for the somersaults" Jake said
"Disagree" Rosa replied, and pushed through the handle, throwing a smoke bomb into the room. Little did Jake know, but a somersault was her code with Holt. She watched as Jake's plan went into action, and she watched as Jake thought he was winning.
She smiled when Jake blamed the drone on Amy. She knew that there was flirting but also trying to get her in trouble. She smiled at this.
She went back to her task force work, as Jake went off. Undoubtably on a wild goose chase to find the watch, she knew was in Holt's pocket. Jake returned to the Precinct, pissed and hurried to his desk, before talking to Holt, and running off, laughing. Terry called Rosa back in, as she helped Terry dish out candy to the kids.
"DIAZ, SANTIAGO!" Holt called, as the kids were starting to fizzle. Terry was left to deal with them, with some uniforms of course, as his aim was to join later on, whilst Hitchcock, Scully, Amy and Rosa walked off with Holt, ready to implement their own plan. Holt dropped Amy off at the truck place, whilst taking her and the two dum-dums to the party bus, ready for stage 2.
Rosa stood on the bus, watching as Hitchcock and Scully attacked Jake. She felt bad.
"Let's dance, Rawr" Rosa said dancing up to Jake. Jake knew immediately that was her. He knew her breasts too well. Plus, the giveaway of the small love bite from the other night.
"What is going on here?" Jake asked. Confused by all this.
"It's HALLOWEEN! HALLOWEEN!" The ghoul laughed. Cat-Rosa grabbed Jake's hand and pulled him to the back of the bus
"What the fuck is going on-" Jake asked when she kissed him
"Shut up" She replied. His hands found her hips, tracing them softly in her skin-tight cat costume, as he leant in and kissed her again.
The 16 blocks flew by, and before Jake knew it, he had to pry himself away from her
"You owe me an explanation later" He said
"You're getting a lot more than that later" She replied with a wink, as Jake got off the bus. Rosa and Holt got off the bus, and watched as Jake jumped the fence then got arrested.
"Come on, let's go" Holt said, as they got back into his car and returned to the station. Holt dressed back into his uniform, and they all positioned themselves behind the glass, as Holt walked into the interrogation room. They watched as Holt explained his plan to Jake. Jake couldn't help but look hurt at Rosa's confession to betraying him, although once they turned on the light in the other room, and Jake once more saw the perfection that was Rosa.
After Gina's dance party, Jake and Rosa headed home, once inside, and the door had closed, he turned to her
"You betrayed me" He said. Rosa only had to raise an eyebrow at him
"Yeah, yeah I know. I had it coming" He said She kissed his lips once, she went to pull away when he pulled her in tighter
"Have I mentioned that I love that dress on you" He said She said nothing in return, but dragged her nails down his chest and pulled him into their bedroom, closing the door behind them.
