Early on in their marriage ...
"This is chickenshit," Ruzek stated as the team combed the woods for any sign of the culprit who had fled from them on foot the minute they had entered his cabin.
Cali rolled her eyes at the cocky officer as she pushed past him. She understood why Al had chosen the guy from the academy, but he wasn't too bright sometimes.
"We weren't the ones who let him escape," Jay snapped at Adam as he too pushed past him.
"Hey, it's not my fault he caught me off guard!" Ruzek argued as he kicked at fallen tree limbs.
"Grow up," Cali hissed under her breath. Atwater snickered nearby.
"Over here!" Antonio called.
The team descended on his location and he signaled for them to fan out.
Jay stuck close to Cali's side while Adam stumbled behind Kevin, who caught him before he could tumble into a rusted animal trap.
"Shit, man, watch yo' step," Atwater chastised Ruzek.
At that moment, the culprit jumped Antonio, who wrestled with him on the ground. Jay attempted to get a shot, but couldn't without hurting the senior detective.
Seeing the dilemma, Cali did the only thing she could think of. Her bloodcurdling scream pierced the air and startled everyone, including the culprit, giving Tony the upper hand in a split second. His left hook knocked the man out cold. He shoved the guy aside, wiped at his muddy face, and grinned at Cali.
"Smart move," he told her as she assisted in hoisting him back to his feet and flicking a leaf from his hair. She returned his grin as Ruzek and Atwater half carried, half drug the culprit out of the woods.
Hank met the team as they emerged in the clearing by the cabin, his eyes immediately on Cali.
"Was that a scream I heard?" he asked, scanning her figure for injuries.
"Yeah, boss," Tony replied, draping an arm over Cali's shoulders and smiling broadly. Cali's smile matched his. "Our girl here scared the beejeebies outta Murdock long enough for me to knock him out."
For once, Cali didn't mind being called the team's girl.
"Hmmm," Hank said, trying not to take offense that Antonio was hanging on his wife.
Cali was oblivious but Tony could see Hank's jaw tighten so he let his arm slide off her shoulder and self consciously took a small step back.
"See you at the station," Antonio told Cali, giving Jay and Hank a subtle tip of the head. Hank just stared at his retreating back.
"Halstead, follow Ruzek and Atwater and make sure Murdock doesn't give them any trouble," Hank ordered, effectively dismissing the sharpshooter and making it clear Cali would be riding with him back to the district.
Jay glanced at Cali, who gave a subtle shrug, and then at Hank.
"Copy that, boss," he said before sauntering behind Adam and Kevin.
Once the team was out of earshot, Cali cocked her head at her husband with a questioning look.
"What was that?" she asked.
Hank matched her stare with his lips pursed.
"No, you don't get to pull that famous stoic Voight face on me," Cali snapped, pressing a finger into his chest. "Now spill."
He chewed the inside of his cheek for a moment before finally answering.
"When I heard you scream …"
She sighed. "Hank …"
"I told you when we're on duty, I have to be focused on the job. But it's hard to do when I hear you screaming," he harshly stated.
Hank pulled her to him and lowered his voice.
"The only time I want to be hearing you scream is when I'm buried inside of you," he growled. Cali swallowed and meekly nodded, her panties now wet.
Still growling because they had to return to the station and he knew he was unable to do anything about the desire spiking in his veins, he propelled her towards his SUV.
"Get in the damn vehicle," Hank ordered. Cali obeyed without another sound.
