Tom had always suspected something was going on between them, the way PJ looked out for Maggie or the way Maggie would stare at PJ when she thought no one else was watching.
His theory was confirmed when they had all though Maggie had been killed when someone deliberately lit her car on fire. PJ was distraught when he pulled up to the crime scene he broke down crying in Dash's arms the Boss overhearing him say
'I love her, I love her, no Maggie' in-between sobs.
Now with Maggie back he knew that they had been through something horrific and just hoped they could work past it and be a great working team again.
Maggie left very quickly after they were told she was alive that it wasn't her in the car Tom just figured maybe her and PJ had an argument or something.
When Maggie came back he saw how PJ reacted and he saw Maggie leave in the same direction as PJ less than 10 minutes later, he followed them just to make sure things were ok but he wasn't expecting to see them in an embrace.
PJ pulled away from his embrace with Maggie when he noticed the Boss watching them
"Ah Boss, it's not what it looks like" PJ said as Maggie and him pulled away from each other turning to look at Tom
"It's fine PJ, I've known for a while" he said walking over to them
"You have? How?" Maggie asked
"Doyle I may be old but I'm not stupid" he said playfully tapping her shoulder
"I might just get back to work" Maggie said smiling at PJ as she made a quick exit back towards the station, leaving PJ and the Boss alone.
"Ah I'm going to head back too…"
"PJ…" Tom interrupted him
"Look after her. You know how it was thinking she was dead, it was horrible I felt like I had lost a daughter and you your Best Friend" the Boss said holding back a tear
"I know Boss, I can promise you that it will never happen again, she's safe now she's come home" PJ said smiling at Tom as he turned and made his way back into the station leaving Tom looking over the lake wiping the tears that were falling from his eyes.
Maggie was sitting at her desk with Dash going through some paperwork when she saw PJ walk in making his way to his office, she then saw the Boss walk back in towards his office noticing what looked like he had been crying. Dash broke her out of her thoughts
"So Maggie, how come your safe now?" she asked biting on the end of her pen
"Well I didn't know much about the dealers just who they were working for and they caught the guy, so that's why I'm safe" she said putting a heavy file in front of her ready to work through.
"Ready for patrol Dash?" Nick asked standing up winking at Maggie and making his way to the key hooks
"Ah Yep" she said reluctantly grabbing her hat and following Nick out towards the Patrol car, she wanted to ask Maggie more questions.
Luckily for Maggie Nick knew exactly what Dash was doing.
Ben walked in from the direction of the locker room
"Settling back in yet Maggie?" he joked pointing at the big pile of paperwork in front of her
"Nice to see nothing's changed, leaving all the paperwork for the woman to do" she said sarcastically at him as he took a seat at his desk ready to get on with some work.
PJ came out of his office and noticed the Maggie and Ben were the only in the station he made his way over to Maggie's desk and leant down resting one hand on the back of her chair and the other on her desk
"Want to come for a drive Mags?" he whispered near her ear knowing what this did to her, she turned her head to look him in the eyes there faces inches apart
"Sure" she said as PJ moved making his way out to the private CI car, Maggie following behind.
