Metallica - Fuel

Maggie O'Neill: Did I hear that you arrested Adrian Gish today?

Antonio Dawson: And was then forced to release him.

Maggie O'Neill: I'm sorry to hear that. I bumped into him in the lobby before he gave me the creeps.

Antonio Dawson: What do you mean you bumped into him?

Maggie O'Neill: Well he bumped into me before I started shift. Scattered my bag all over the floor.

Antonio Dawson: I'm on the way down. I need to see your bag.

Kim Burgess: Are you alright? I saw you being bag searched earlier.

Maggie O'Neill: Antonio thought Gish put something in my bag when he bumped into me earlier.

Kim Burgess: Did he?

Maggie O'Neill: A matchbook. It only had one match in it. Antonio seems to think he was a message.

Kim Burgess: I hate the fact I'm not out there on the street with you I want to catch this guy so badly. Desk duty blows.

Maggie O'Neill: You'll be back soon. I get Roman until then so at least you don't have to worry about me.

Kim Burgess: Just make sure your careful out there today.

Maggie O'Neill: Promise x

Sean Roman: Is it me or is Platt being super weird today?

Maggie O'Neill: It's not you. She told me to have a blessed day.

Sean Roman: That is the best I've heard so far.

Maggie O'Neill: I have heard far better, I'll tell you the rest when we get to the Squad Car, you are gonna love it.

Antonio Dawson: I just heard about your Squad Car. Please tell me your alright?

Maggie O'Neill: Don't worry I'm fine, I wasn't standing near the car when it blew up. My prides hurt more than anything.

Antonio Dawson: I didn't think he would do anything this crazy. I didn't mean for you to get caught up in all of this.

Maggie O'Neill: Nobody got hurt so please don't let weigh on you.

Antonio Dawson: It just makes me want to catch the bastard even more.

Maggie O'Neill: Let me buy the tequila when it's done.

Antonio Dawson: Body shots? ;)

Maggie O'Neill: If you insist. ;)

Kayla Sharpe: Did I just hear your Squad Car got blown up by the guy that killed Shea?

Sean Roman: I was literally about to call you, I didn't want you to hear about it from somebody else. I'm ok, we weren't standing near the car when it blew up.

Kayla Sharpe: Thank God, I'm just glad that you are ok.

Sean Roman: I'll pop over tonight and you can check me out for yourself x

Kayla Sharpe: I would like that x

Trudy Platt: Did you blow up one of my Squad Cars?!

Maggie O'Neill: No...

Trudy Platt: I'll rephrase that. Did the guy you were tailing get free from your sight, sneak out of a bathroom window and then Molotov cocktailed your squad car?

Maggie O'Neill: That sounds about right.

Trudy Platt: Come and see me when you get back to the station house.

Maggie O'Neill: Did you seriously get me reassigned to desk duty?

Antonio Dawson: I think last night made it pretty clear that you are a target for this guy.

Maggie O'Neill: He's trying to rattle you!

Antonio Dawson: I know and it's working. I can't be worrying about you while I'm trying to catch this guy.

Maggie O'Neill: So your preventing ME from doing MY job in order to give YOU peace of mind.

Antonio Dawson: No that is not what I am doing. I'm just making sure you are out of the firing line. Platt agreed with that and you are doing your job, just from behind a desk for a few days.

Maggie O'Neill: We need to talk about this.

Antonio Dawson: I'm on the way out, we'll have to do it later.

Maggie O'Neill: Talk to your brother!

Gabby Dawson: I happen to agree with him. You nearly got blown up last night! Again I might add.

Maggie O'Neill: Low blow Gabby.

Gabby Dawson: This guy is dangerous Maggie, no one is safe until he's off the streets.

Kim Burgess: Am I hearing right? Have you been benched?!

Maggie O'Neill: Yep. I'm trying to make the best of it right now but I accidentally just stapled my sleeve to the piece of paper I was working on.

Kim Burgess: Meet me at the vending machine in ten minutes.

Maggie O'Neill: Thank God, the amount of filing that needs doing around this place is killing me.

Maggie O'Neill: Is everyone ok? Antonio isn't answering my texts!

Jay Halstead: Antonio's with Gabby at the moment, everyone's ok but it came pretty close...

Hey guys! Thank you for all your support with this story! Only two weeks to go until my wedding!

Lauren: I am so proud of Kayla too. She's such a sweetheart and it makes me smile that she's with Roman who is so love with her. Sean will always love and take care of her no matter what happens. I admit this was one of my fav chapters to write because it opened up her world for me.

Anime: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, it was one of my fav to write so far because it gave me such insight into Kayla. I wanted to hug her so much when all of this came out but Roman can do it for us. Kayla is defo part of the family.

Soccer: I'm so glad that your enjoying this, it is such a pleasure to write! As you know there are plenty more where that came from chapter wise.

Amber: My hope is that they will get enough time in this story. Kayla is actually a char my friend Nat is working on, I fell in love with her when we were chatting and she very generously allowed me to use her. I am glad you love them, they are one of my favs to write.
