"Come on, hurry up" Kelly teased as Hannah ran toward him, with her school bag swishing from side-to-side.
"Come on dad, you're not drilling cadets today" She said as she opened the car door.
"Yes boss" He laughed "How was school today?"
"I think I learnt something today" Hannah sarcastically questioned
"Oh yeah? What'd you learn" Severide asked
"That the capital of America is Washington D. C." She joked
"Is that what they're teaching you in the 9th grade?"
"No they're trying to teach us psychology"
"Trying to?"
"Let's just say they're not very successful at the moment"
"Psychology? Really?"
"Yeah" Hannah replied
"Why?"
"Well wanting to know why people start fires is interesting"
Kelly laughed "So what do you want to do this afternoon?"
Hannah looked at him confused
"Go fish off Navy Pier?" He asked
Hannah looked at him
"Come on, its autumn"
"Last time we went fishing you didn't have the patience for it" Hannah laughed
"Last time was winter" Severide replied "anyway, I've got a surprise for you" Severide said starting the car.
"I thought you didn't want to go fishing" Hannah questioned as they pulled up near a jetty.
"Correction. You didn't" Severide added
"What surprise could be waiting here?"
"An old one"
"Old?" Hannah questioned as she got out of the car
"Yeah, but don't tell him I said that"
Hannah looked at him confused as she followed him as they walked along the jetty
"Don't look at me like that" He laughed
Hannah laughed and shook her head
"Hey Banana!" She heard someone yell out
"Pop?" She questioned
"Surprise" Said Kelly
"Severide Senior" Hannah yelled as she ran towards Benny
"Hey Severide Junior" He laughed as he knelt down to hug her
"What are you doing here?"
"Fishing and I thought I'd come and see my only grand-daughter" He said
"Too bad mom and I aren't staying for long"
"Why not?" He asked
"Mom's moving back to Phoenix"
"Oh well we better enjoy it while it lasts then eh"
"OK" Hannah smiled
"I'll come back and get you later" Kelly said "Your mom was pretty stern on you being back by 6"
"See you later dad"
"So why is your mom moving back to Phoenix?" Benny asked as he and Hannah sat and ate their ice creams
"She's being transferred back" Hannah replied
"Back?"
"Yeah she got transferred here now she's going back"
"Why?"
"Cooper doesn't like it here" Hannah replied "But he's a jerk anyway"
"Don't let your dad hear that"
"He's already heard it and I think he'd agree"
"So why don't you like Cooper?"
"Because he's Cooper, he's not Kelly. He's not my dad"
"Well why don't you move here with your dad"
"Because then Cooper won't let me see mum and he won't let her see me"
"He can't do that"
"He's the reason Mom's being transferred back to Phoenix"
"Why don't you move in with dad here?"
"Then I won't be able to see mom"
"Why?"
"Cooper won't let her"
"How can he do that?"
"He just can"
"Well why don't both of you try to move, together?"
"We tried. It didn't work" Hannah said distantly "He has power over her"
"Has he ever hit her?" Benny asked
"No" Hannah quickly replied "Never"
Benny sat there unsure.
"He just doesn't like it when it doesn't go his way"
"Bad quality to have when you're a lawyer" Benny laughed
"Yeah" Hannah replied
Benny put his arm around his grand-daughter as they looked out at the ocean.
"See you soon?" Benny asked as he hugged Hannah
"Maybe, if we haven't left yet" Hannah replied "Love you pop" She said as she got in the car
"Kelly, I think there's something you need to know"
"What?" Kelly asked
"Hannah and I were talking about Cooper. Do you know if he's ever hit Katherine or Hannah?"
"No, Why?"
"She said her and Katherine tried to leave once but Cooper stopped them"
"I wouldn't know, I've never met him"
"Yeah, it's just something seems off" Benny replied
"I'll keep an eye out" Kelly said patting him on the shoulder, "Thanks dad"
Kelly got in the car
"So what you and dad talk about?" Kelly asked
"Not much" Hannah said putting her bag in the back "I didn't know you had a half-sister"
"Yeah, Katie. Well neither did I till a few years ago" Kelly laughed
"What's she like?"
"A lot like you actually"
"Is she still in Chicago?"
"No she lives in Colorado as a chef"
"Oh a chef. She teach you how to cook?"
"Hey, I'm not that bad"
"I'm surprised you never gave anyone at 51 food poisoning when you were a candidate"
"Hey I can cook two things, the most important; Bacon and eggs and -"
"-And two-minute noodles" Hannah interrupted "Yeah I remember, It's really the only thing we lived off on the holidays" She laughed
"At least it was something" Kelly laughed
Hannah's phone buzzed. She took it out of her pocket and looked at the screen
"Great" Hannah quietly mumbled to herself
"What?" Kelly questioned
"Mom's stuck at work, she won't be home till late"
"You want to stay at mine tonight? I don't start shift till 8 tomorrow morning"
"Nah, she'll only be a few hours late, Coopers there anyway"
"You sure, or I can drop you off later"
"No it'll be fine" Hannah said, forcing a smile
"You going to come to the firehouse tomorrow afternoon?" Kelly asked as he parked out the front of Hannah's house
"Yeah" She smiled
Hannah and Kelly got out of the car, Hannah got her bag out of the back of the car.
"See you tomorrow then" Kelly said hugging Hannah
"Love you dad" She replied
Hannah put her bag over her shoulder and began to walk towards the house. She saw the front door open and Cooper come walking out. Hannah stopped.
"Han?" Kelly questioned walking up to her
"Hannah don't you know how to read the time"
"15 minutes late, so what" She replied
"Get inside your mothers waiting for you"
"But mom's still-"
"Just get inside" He repeated
"Hey, you leave her alone" Kelly added
"Thanks for dropping Hannah off but you don't need to come around here anymore"
"I can do what I want, Hannah's my daughter"
"Look were leaving for Phoenix in a few weeks so I'd appreciate it if you left us alone"
"I'll leave my daughter alone when Hannah and Katherine tell me to" Kelly replied
"Well I'm telling you. Leave them both alone, it will be easier for Hannah when we leave"
"But is it what Katherine and Hannah want?"
"I don't need to talk to you about this" Cooper said walking away
"You know what, I know you're bad news for them"
"I'm bad news?" He questioned "Where were you when Katherine moved to Arizona"
"That was a mutual agreement" Kelly yelled "You know nothing of what happened back then, so don't make me the bad one"
Kelly got in his car and slammed the door shut.
