Taylor spent a lot of time with Kelly over the next month, both on shift and during their downtime. Some of their days off would be spent at the docks, while others were spent helping Mrs. Caswell or eating out at different places around the city.

Sat on the kitchen counter, in the apartment, before work, Taylor stared tiredly into her fresh cup of coffee and looked up as Kelly spoke from where he was making pancakes.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked, earning a nod from Taylor and continuing, "What are we?"

"What do you mean?" Taylor replied with a frown.

"Well, I mean are we still seeing where this thing takes us, or are we a couple?"

"Kelly Severide, are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" Taylor teased, hoping that she had read the situation right and feeling her stomach churn nervously as she waited for an answer.

"I am... but only if you're ready to take that step with me."

"I've been ready for a while," Taylor admitted with a smile, "What are we going to do about work though?"

"We'll tell them," Kelly stated with a shrug, placing pancakes onto three plates and sliding one towards her, "Technically, we've been dating for the last month and it hasn't affected our ability to do the job."

"Everyone will be fine with it, or they'll have me to deal with," Shay added, joining them and smiling at Taylor, "You worry too much."

They soon headed off to the firehouse and Taylor put her stuff in her locker, joining the rest of truck in the rec room. It was approaching the end of October, which meant one thing at 51... Halloween and it had been decorated for just that occasion.

Pumpkins had been carved and spiders hung from the ceiling, but it was the candy that had caught Taylor's attention. Every year, Gabby bought three large bags of candy and put them up on top of the kitchen cabinets with a warning to leave it alone.

Stood by the truck rig helping Rebecca with inventory a while later, Taylor heard her name being called and turned around to see Voight walking towards her.

"What do you want?" Taylor asked with a glare.

"I need to have a word with you about your ex-beau."

"Fine, but I'm not talking to you alone."

"Anyone would think that you don't trust me," Voight commented with a smirk.

"That's because I don't," Taylor replied, noticing Voight's gaze settle on something over her shoulder and turning to see Kelly watching them closely, "Sev, can I borrow you for a minute?"

"What's going on?" Kelly inquired as he followed them outside, standing beside Taylor with his arms crossed and his eyes fixed on the man standing in front of them.

"I just need to ask Taylor some questions about her ex, Greg Anderson."

"What about him?"

"Have you seen him lately?"

"Not since he turned up at Molly's and got kicked out a couple of weeks ago, why?"

"PD is trying to map out his movements by speaking to people that know him is all," Voight told them, "Were you on good terms after the separation?"

"He didn't take it too well," Taylor answered with a shrug, "He seemed to think that there was a chance we'd get back together, but I made it clear that it was over for good and that I had no intention of getting back into a relationship like that."

"Was the relationship bad?"

"Greg is... Greg has a temper and doesn't care who is on the receiving end of it," Taylor admitted, feeling Kelly tense at her side and refusing to look at him, "So, yeah, bad is one way of putting it."

"Do you think that you could get him to meet up with you?"

"I've spent the last two months trying to get him to leave me alone and now, you want me to invite him back into my life."

"We need to draw him out and, right now, you are our best shot at doing that."

The thought of seeing Greg again, even if it was just to draw him out for the police, scared her and put her on edge.

"You want to use her as bait," Kelly added, stepping closer to Taylor and placing his hand on her lower back to offer comfort, "What would she have to do?"

"We would just need her to arrange to meet him somewhere," Voight explained, "Obviously, she will have to show up, but it will be under the close supervision of PD officers and they'll be there to grab him as soon as he shows."

"I'll do it," Taylor agreed reluctantly, "Under one condition though."

"Anything."

"I want Antonio to be involved."

"That can be arranged," Voight promised, "Just send Antonio the details of the meeting, once you know and I'll have a team ready to go."

With a nod in response, Taylor watched as Voight left and swallowed nervously. She glanced up at Kelly, before pulling out her phone and sending Greg a quick text asking him to meet her.

Walking away before Kelly could speak, she returned to the truck rig and finished helping Rebecca with her duties. Sat in the rec room watching television a few hours later, Taylor felt her phone vibrate and pulled it out to find a text from Greg.

'Tonight 7pm. The park.'
