Chapter One Hundred and Five: True Lies

If I spilled my guts
The world would never look at you the same way

Fall Out Boy - Just One Yesterday

Antonio Dawson: So I really enjoyed taking you out for breakfast this morning.

Maggie O'Neill: It was just what I needed after that marathon run you chose to put me through.

Antonio Dawson: Hey you kept pace... mostly :)

Maggie O'Neill: Don't think I don't know you were testing me. As you can see I am back at full lung capacity.

Antonio Dawson: Full appetite too from the amount of food you ate!

Maggie O'Neill: Hey you agreed to pay, you know how much I like to eat! Thank you though. It was good seeing you in action again.

Antonio Dawson: We'll make it a race tomorrow, loser pays the bill.

Jay Halstead: Did I just see a smile?

Erin Lindsey: That was definitely a smile.

Jay Halstead: I don't think I've seen Toni smile like that in months.

Erin Lindsey: I'm just glad he is smiling, I was starting worry we weren't ever going to see that side of him again.

Jay Halstead: Toni always bounces back, you should see him in the ring. It's like he never had that injury. Roman's the only person who can keep up with him and even he was surprised.

Erin Lindsey: So your saying bet on Antonio in the next charity boxing match?

Jay Halstead: Since when have we ever bet against him?

Sean Roman: My jaw still hurts from where you caught me last night, I think you owe me a beer.

Antonio Dawson: I told you, you didn't need to pull your punches.

Sean Roman: I thought I was doing you a favor.

Antonio Dawson: Well you didn't do yourself any favors trying to do me a favor.

Sean Roman: Quite the wordsmith you've become Dawson. Oh by the way do you want to go back to training Eva now that you've got the all clear?

Antonio Dawson: To be honest Sean, I think she's better off with you. She's come a long way since the two of you started and I don't want to jeopardize that.

Sean Roman: You know she's not gonna follow in your footsteps right? She wants to be a dancer not a pro boxer.

Antonio Dawson: She can be whatever she wants to be. As long as she knows how to defend herself I'm happy.

Sean Roman: You should ask Kim to teach her some Krav Maga, she teaches a beginner's class for Gabe at the community center by her place. Couldn't do Eva any harm to get a few extra moves under her belt.

Antonio Dawson: Thanks man, I'll give Kim a text later.

Mike Sorenson: (phone) (number one)

Sean Roman: I'm not giving you her phone number.

Mike Sorenson: :(

Sean Roman: Sorenson been giving you trouble lately?

Maggie O'Neill: No more than usual. Why?

Sean Roman: Define 'usual'.

Maggie O'Neill: Aw Sean, are you going all big brother on me?

Sean Roman: Just watching out for my partner. He'd probably go away if you and Antonio weren't keeping it on the down low.

Maggie O'Neill: I don't want to put Antonio under any additional pressure at the moment and I know Sorenson has a big mouth. Trust me he'll get bored soon enough.

Sean Roman: I don't know Maggie, he's pretty damn persistent. You've been back a couple of weeks and he's been like a dog with a bone.

Maggie O'Neill: As long as you don't give him my number I'll be fine, besides I start back on regular shifts tomorrow so he's gonna have to bother someone else other than you.

Sean Roman: Thank Christ, he's been driving me insane. I feel like throwing a party.

Maggie O'Neill: You can buy me a beer in Molly's after my first shift to commemorate the occasion.

Sean Roman: I'll even make a toast.

Mike Sorenson: So Burgess and the priest?

Sean Roman: Don't know what your talking about.

Mike Sorenson: They are definitely a thing. Are priests even allowed to hook up? Isn't against some oath they made to God or something?

Sean Roman: Seriously Mike?

Mike Sorenson: We could talk about your hot little piece of ass if you like.

Sean Roman: I swear if you ever say that to me or anyone else again, I will end you, you disrespectful prick.

Mike Sorenson: Jesus Roman, I was kidding.

Sean Roman: I'm sick of your crap, I'm so fucking glad Maggie comes back on rotation tomorrow because I can not stand to be around you for second longer.

Mike Sorenson: Do you seriously think she'd gonna have your back the same way that I do? Dream on Roman, the instant someone flashs a blade in her direction she'd gonna turn into a wreck. You trade me in for her and your basically on your own out there.

Sean Roman: That's bullshit and you know it. Maggie is a better cop then you will have be. You'd do yourself a favor to leave her the hell alone from now on.

Mike Sorenson: I'm telling you what happened to her fucked her up man, trust me I've seen the scars.

Sean Roman: What do you mean you've seen the scars?

Mike Sorenson: I've seen the scars, she's a mess from the neck down.

Sean Roman: How the hell have you seen them?

Mike Sorenson: Come on Roman, how do you think?

Sean Roman: I swear to God Sorenson...

Mike Soreson: We bumped into each other a few times at Molly's and she let me take her home. Disappeared before I woke up hence why I want her number. It's usually me doing the sneaking out by the way.

Sean Roman: If you are lying...

Mike Sorenson: She has a scar, a big one, that starts at her bra line and stops right at her... Well I'm too much of a gentleman to say where it stops.

Sean Roman: There's not a chance in hell Maggie slept with you. I would stake my badge on it.

Mike Sorenson: Maybe you don't know her as well as you think? I gotta say like father, like daughter right?
