Jubal had reluctantly let go of Maggie when they stepped back inside the building, he took her coffee mug from her as he was going to the break room to get himself coffee and they both agreed that it would be better if they didn't walk back in to the JOC together. He had checked with Maggie if she had wanted another cup of coffee but she was okay for now thanking him for asking. When she went in to the JOC Maggie took the free seat at the front of the room beside Kristen as they both started to go through the files that were sent over on the Easy 8's gangs members.

Jubal had took his time making himself the coffee so that he left sometime between him and Maggie entering the JOC, he did feel better after getting the brief moment with her on the roof but it didn't sit well with him that he and Isobel clearly weren't agreeing on this case. He lifted his coffee mug and made his way into the JOC checking his phone as he had a text from Sam just checking in with him about the kids. He slid his phone back in to the holder as he looked at Maggie and Kristen

"What have we got?"

"Well these are all the known Easy 8 members" Kristen put the images up on the large screen while talking "Minus the ones that are in Prison or in New Jersey"

Jubal looked at the images before back at Kristen "Can we connect any of them to the Caddy?"

Lee spoke up as he was the one working on it "No, none of them own that vehicle and we don't get a look at the driver"

"Did any of them communicate with Sean Ellis"

This time it was Kelly who spoke up "We're checking but so far nothing"

"We've got a dozen suspects here people we need to narrow it down" Jubal was looking at his team sipping his coffee looking up at the pictures on the screen and the picture of Jake with his parents, no matter what Dan Osbourne had done he knew he must be terrified about his son

Maggie was working through the case file in her hands when she spotted something "Jubal"

"Hmm" Jubal was kind of in his own world thinking about how he would feel if someone took Tyler or Abby because of something he had done

Hearing the 'hmm' from Jubal made Maggie think of when he was concentrated at home and would hear her asking something, she realised he hadn't noticed the familiarity it showed between them as this was never a response they got from him at work. She was hoping if she kept talking he would come back to focus on what she was saying and that they were at work

"When I asked Sean Ellis where Jake was he said 'brick'"

Hearing Maggie talking more snapped Jubal out of his own world reminding him they weren't alone "Yeah, erm right I remember"

Maggie looked at the case file before back up at Jubal "Russell McNair, his street name is Brick"

"Really?" Jubal walked towards Maggie while she was talking and he was now leaning over her shoulder looking at the case file, trying not to think about how close they were right now, images flashing in his head of getting to press his lips to her neck a few minutes ago, he shook his head lightly to bring him back to the present "All right, looks like we got our guy" Jubal stood up straight before turning around and leaning on the desk beside Maggie as he looked at the team "Someone give me an address for Russell McNair"

Lee was typing on the computer before speaking "He has an apartment in Tremont"

Before Lee could continue Kelly was jumping in "Wait, he also bought up six foreclosed properties. Two of them are close to the burger joint"

Kristen joined Kelly and checked her computer and then looked at Jubal and Maggie "One of them just started pulling electricity as of this morning, right after Jake was abducted"

Maggie looked at Kristen and then Jubal "He's got to be holding Jake in there"

Jubal nodded "Go hit that house and find the kid"

Maggie stood up and went over to OA, Scola and Emily and the three of them left heading to the address but Maggie stayed, she turned around and came back over to where she had been sitting. Jubal raised his eyebrow when Maggie sat back down in the seat "You didn't join them?"

Maggie looked at Isobel who was standing at her office door and then up at Jubal who was still sitting on the desk she was at "I thought that I could be more use here, told OA it was a good chance for him to show things to Stuart and Emily"

Jubal wanted so badly to reach out and take Maggie's hand he knew that he was part of the reason that she stayed and he really appreciated it, he didn't have to turn around to know that Isobel was there, Maggie looking that direction had alerted him to Isobel's presence "Thank you" He smiled that soft smile he kept only for her

Jubal stood up as he got the live feed sent through from SWAT who were all wearing body cams which allowed the JOC to watch what was going on. Isobel had come out in to the JOC when the live feed came up on the screen, She was standing one side of Maggie while Jubal was standing the other side of her. Maggie felt she was there to keep a little distance between them with the tension that could be felt. She couldn't believe that her love for Jubal had made her stay in the JOC rather than be out in the field with her partner, she didn't think she would ever make that decision. She knew that OA was safe with Stuart and Emily and the SWAT team but it didn't stop her from feeling nervous as she watched the live feed.

SWAT broke down the door at Russell's property, the minute they enter the property gun shots can be heard and the SWAT team along with OA take cover by a wall

"Flash-bang OA" Maggie had muttered not realising that Jubal and Isobel had heard her. On the live feed OA signalled to SWAT for a flash-bang, Isobel and Jubal both looked at Maggie when they seen the signal from OA. But Maggie's focus was on the live feed, both Jubal and Isobel realised in that moment just how well OA and Maggie worked together. The flash-bang is thrown and more shots fire before OA shouts Brick is down. They continue to search the house looking for Jake, they find a locked door and OA gets them to break it down and inside is Jake Osbourne laying on the floor. OA goes to Jake straight away and checks on him before grabbing the SWAT body cam

"I've got Jake, he's alive"

Maggie relaxes when she heard OA's words and the JOC breaks in to applause as they are all delighted that they managed to find Jake alive as it really was a team effort. Maggie was talking to Kristen so Isobel choose that moment to talk to Jubal

"Thank you"

Jubal shook his head "It was a team effort, what matters is that Jake is safe and it's over"

"Not entirely" Isobel walks away before Jubal can even reply to her.

Maggie had gone to her desk to wait for OA, Scola and Emily to return, Jubal turned around when Isobel left and seen Kristen standing alone he walks over to her

"Hey Kris, you did great work today which is why I need to keep you in the JOC for a while"

Kristen was surprised by Jubal's words "For a while? I'm getting medical release for field work in less than two weeks"

"No I know, but working with you these last few days has reminded me how much we need you in here"

"How long are you thinking?"

"I'm not sure yet, we will see how it goes"

Kristen sighed "Okay"

Jubal smiled "Good" he patted her shoulder as he walked past her, he was either oblivious to how disappointed she was or he just didn't want to get in to it with her.

However it wasn't something Kristen was ready to just drop, she was not happy as she made her way to Maggie's desk and was glad she was still sitting alone "Did you tell Jubal that I should be back in the JOC?"

Maggie was working on her computer when she heard Kristen and she looked at the other woman confused "What? No, what would I do that?"

"I thought that maybe you told him about me crying in my car the other morning and that I wasn't ready. I can do this, I'm not scared to be back out in the field"

Maggie stood up to face Kristen "I hear you, but were not invincible I just want you to take the time to heal, not just physically. But I did not tell Jubal to keep you in the JOC. When the time is right you'll be back out there"

Kristen had calmed down as Maggie genuinely seemed surprised that Jubal had told Kristen he was keeping her in the JOC "What if everything and everyone moves on?"

Maggie smiled softly looking at Kristen "Some things will but you are always going to be needed here Kristen"

Kristen had calmed down now completely but she had no idea that she had made Maggie angry, not at her, she was angry with Jubal. Had he really used what she had trusted him with to keep Kristen in the JOC. Maggie was about to go and confront him when she heard Kristen speaking again

"You want to get something to eat and maybe a few drinks?" Kristen didn't want to head home yet and she wanted time with Maggie to chat to her about some things

Maggie was thinking of declining as she just wanted to go and confront Jubal but she seen how hopeful Kristen looked at her and she could tell that the other woman wanted to talk about something "Yeah sure food sounds good, lets go"

Kristen was relieved when she heard Maggie agree to join her for dinner as she wanted to relax with her friend after closing her first case back at work. Maggie closed down her computer and stood up following Kristen to the elevator, she took out her phone and text Jubal 'I'm going out with Kristen. I'll see you tomorrow' she knew that he would know she wasn't in the mood to talk to him from her text

Jubal was standing talking with OA and Stuey when he heard the message tone on his phone, he smiled seeing Maggie's name on his phone ignoring the teasing from Stuey and OA when they seen him smiling at his phone. But that changed when he read her text and he sighed reading it, he knew straight away that she was angry at him 'Have a good night with Kris. Can we talk when you get home?'

Maggie seen the message from Jubal but she didn't reply it might seem childish but she was angry with him and she wanted to focus on Kristen and whatever was on her mind.
