Linstead after Voight and Erin Talk at the bar.

Hank left Molly's early, clearly he had gone there just to talk to her. She stayed alone at the bar for a while. It was hard work to love Voight, it was hard for many reasons. She loved him. He was her father, or the only father that she knew. He was always good to her and it was thanks to him that she didn't end up dead in some shady alley. She owed him her life for sure. But Hank was tricky and he had a shadowy past, he had done a lot of things that Erin would never accept from anyone else. But she knew that he was trying to redeem himself for his sins and that most of his actions were just for the good of the city, not for his gain.

However, in cases like the last one, she always feared that he would go back to working in the shadows like he used to. She understood what he said, but she couldn't avoid the judgment. He once was that man, the one who fixed cases like that at the silos and that scared her a lot. She knew he loved her, she had no doubt about it, but she also knew that for him she would always be his little protégé.

"Hi" Antonio had walked in without her noticing and sat at her side. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice him until he gave her a gentle squeeze on her arm and spoke.

"Hi... sorry, didn't notice you."

"Voight?"

"Left."

"No. I mean, you were thinking about Voight?"

She smiled gently at him, "Yes I was."

"He was a little rude with you today."

"Yeah it's ok, I can handle him. He doesn't like to be challenged and I was being a little pushy because I know the history between those two."

"Look, I'm nobody to get between you two. And you know that I was the one who put the cuffs on him, but we have to trust him. It's not possible to work with him if you don't trust his judgement. And I think he is trying to keep things on track this time. Don't you?"

"Yes I do. And you are right, we have to trust him to work for him, but when this kind of people get involved I … well I try to stay alert."

"Yeah me too," Antonio said smiling.

She looked at her phone, it was late, she should go home. And just in that moment she noticed that she had a missed call and a text from Jay. They left the precinct separately because he finished before her, so he probably was wondering where she was by now.

She decided to go home, she was tired and almost numb. When she fought like that with Hank she felt numb sometimes, she put so much of herself into the cases it almost sucked her energy. She needed to sleep well tonight, really well.

"Antonio I'm leaving. I'm beat and need to sleep. See you tomorrow."

Antonio just nodded in agreement and squeezed her arm gently. She smiled back at him and left.

In the car she turn the heat and the radio on and stayed there for a moment without moving. She needed to decide if she was going to her place or to Jay's place.

Maybe she should be alone tonight, she was so tired and she was still adjusting to having him in her bed. She had been alone for too long, she thought. Her last boyfriend was Kelly and he almost never spend the night because of their different work schedules and before him there was no one serious for a long time. So for her this thing of having company every night was new. It was new when they first started sneaking around and it was new now.

The first time they just saw each other outside of work for short periods. They were not official and she was trying to figured out what to do if Hank found out but now, now she wanted it all with him and she was starting to like his company in her bed, she knew that, but still needed to adjust to this new reality. Anyway she needed to call him, and let him know where she was, he would probably be worried by now. She called him twice and he didn't answer. He probably fell asleep so she decided to text him and then she drove home.

He woke up with a huge pain in his back, he had fallen asleep on his couch watching TV in a pretty strange position. He looked at the clock, it was 3:45 am. He got up to go to bed, still sleepy, and stumbled on his boots. He picked them up to put them in place and saw his phone on the ground. He had totally forgot about that, Erin should have called him. He picked the phone up and saw that he had two missed calls and one text from two and a half hours ago. All from Erin.

He opened the text.

*Hi, sorry I missed your calls, I was at Molly's with Voight and then Antonio. I'm heading home now. I'm tired and beat and need a good night sleep and didn't want to wake you so see you tomorrow. Big Kiss*

He smiled and went to bed, leaving the phone on the night stand. He too was beat and tired, they didn't seem to have a break these days, and watching her and Hank face off with each other like that was always stressful for him, because he knew Erin, he knew how she dove into that kind of argument. He chose not to get between them. He was not very pleased with the way Voight spoke to her earlier but he knew better than to say something about that to him or even to her. I guess they had handled their disagreement after all and that's all that mattered.

He woke up with the buzz of his phone, it was a text. He looked at the clock and it was 06:30. The text was from Erin.

*So after all I didn't slept that well. I realize that I'm already used to having you in my bed. So I missed you last night. I'll go grab some breakfast and pick you up. See you soon.*

A big smile spread across his face. She missed him, that was good and he was very damn happy about it. He noticed that there was another text.

*If you show that text to somebody I kill you.*

He gave a big laugh and got up to get ready.

So tell me what you think ;)
