Chapter Twenty: Prison Ball
Hello, hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service
In the club, you see, see
Wha-wha-what did you say?
Oh, you're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I'm kinda busy

Antonio Dawson: Sorry I missed you last night. I was hoping we could pick up where we left off yesterday morning.
Maggie O'Neill: I would have loved that, I was thinking about all those wicked things we did all night.
Antonio Dawson: You should tell me about them when I get home later, I want a detailed description.
Maggie O'Neill: I suppose I could show you...
Maggie O'Neill: Picture message attached.
Antonio Dawson: Your killing me right now.
Trudy Platt: Did you just let out that little prick Grant?
Hank Voight: Well hello to you too Trudy.
Trudy Platt: He killed a 10 year old girl! Her mother's in here crying because she's just seen him walk out the door!
Hank Voight: Trust me we're working on it.
Al Olinsky: I managed to get hold of that prison guard uniform. It's the right size so should fit you everywhere.
Antonio Dawson: I appreciate it. I'll change in the locker room once I've checked out these electronics.
Hank Voight: How's the history on Ruzek and Atwater coming?
Erin Lindsey: Just adding the finishing touches right now and then they'll be in the system.
Hank Voight: Let me know when it's done.
Kim Burgess: Kids are all taken care of. Homework was done last night and got them into school on time this morning. I'll pick them up after school.
Kevin Atwater: Thanks Kim. I owe you one.
Kim Burgess: Just stay safe today x
Laura Dawson: Antonio, I need you to take Diego tonight. I'm meeting with the accountant tonight to go through the restaurant accounts. I should be back after 9pm. Eva is sleeping over at Chelsea's so you don't have to worry about her.
Diego Dawson: Can't wait to come over and see my new room. Catch you later Dad !—-
Maggie O'Neill: Hey Antonio, good luck today! Burgess just filled me in. Stay safe x
Kayla Sharpe: Hey, I just wanted to check in and see how the studying is going for that training officer position x
Sean Roman: Horribly. It's so boring I think I am starting to lose my sanity.
Kayla Sharpe: Study break? You, me and not a text book in sight...
Sean Roman: This sounds interesting. Let me know when you get off shift and I'll pick you up.
Kayla Sharpe: I'll try not to keep you up all night ;)
Maggie O'Neill: Did you forget to tell me Diego was coming over? Laura's just dropped him off outside the house.
Maggie O'Neill: Kim, I need help. Laura's just dropped Diego off and I have no idea what to do with him.
Kim Burgess: Bring him over to Kevin's, dinner's on the stove and we have an Xbox. He can hang out with these guys and you can help me, 'help them' with homework.
Maggie O'Neill: Your a lifesaver!
Maggie O'Neill: Hi Antonio. Got it covered. Don't worry x
Hi guys, my apologies on the lateness of this chapter but my week has been really busy. On Thursday we ended up fostering another young guinea pig so the entire evening was taken up by collecting him and getting him settled alongside our two girl pigs. Then Friday I attended a funeral and have spent today recovering. (In my family, funerals are huge celebrations of life)
Medaling: I am really glad you enjoyed the chapter. I wanted to show that Antonio is not impervious to feeling some self-doubt, despite how confident he comes across most of the time. I would love to see a Carisi pairing, I love him so much. Not really a fan of Nick but I do love Finn. Your kind words really make me smile. Maybe I will publish something someday who knows
Lauren: I wanted to show a healthy dynamic after that night, I think their relationship is very much about supporting one another. They do get tested in the near future on a number of different fronts. I think Antonio divorcing and having kids is more realistic because the world isn't simple and people do have complications in their lives. Maggie and him just gelled for me from the first chapter onwards so I was very lucky in that respect!
Anime: There's no good stories without drama. I am working on something that really twists them up at the moment so let's keep our fingers crossed. I wanted to show that relationships are not perfect but they will always support each other even when it's over something small. I think everyone has accepted they are together already and that it would happen eventually.
