Chapter 22
Matt walked into the apartment early after shift his mind still boggled by everything that was going on with the Squad guys. He honestly felt like he went back in time to just after Andy Darden had died, "Hey Babe," He gave Gabby a kiss on the lips whispering as she was talking on the phone, "Baby sleeping?" She nodded in response so he walked quietly into their bedroom and stood over Ellie's cradle and watched her sleep.
She was beautiful. Her hair seemed to be getting darker and more curly all the time and he couldn't wait until she could smile and laugh; she was almost six weeks old and he knew that in a few more weeks she'd be smiling and then laughing.
"So that was Antonio," Gaby's voice broke him out of his trance as she walked into the room and sat down on their bed, "He- uh has some information on Jack Nesbit. I know you turned down the deal but-"
"I already talked to Voight!" He spun around and faced her sounding a little angrier then he intended to. "Sorry Babe."
If she was offended she didn't say anything, "I'm not talking to you on behalf of Voight I'm reaching out to you on behalf of my older brother, your future brother in-law," She stood and looked at him in the eyes, "They're trafficking girls Matt; From Eastern Europe they're promising them a better life and then….
"Oh shit," His eyes closed and he clenched his fists.
"Antonio says they've had their suspensions for awhile but they've never been able to get anywhere near the place; not even undercover. You have an inn and they know it's asking a lot but they could really use your help."
He stared at her and locked eyes, "You want me to go undercover when you know this is dangerous."
"Matt," She reached up and caressed his check, "I'd worry about you; of course I would but you and I both know this is the right thing to do plus Antonio knows if he lets anything happen to you I'll murder him." She let out a small laugh.
"Yeah? Does the same apply for me? Or does Laura get that privilege?"
"Maybe," She laughed lightly, "We can go down to the district later today and talk to them. Antonio's already on me about not seeing Ellie in awhile.
"He saw her last week," He laughed.
"Yeah but he has baby fever," She shrugged, "He's really excited that Laura's pregnant again."
"I can understand that," He nodded and kissed her gently on the lips when Ellie began to stir and she opened her eyes and let out a soft whimper.
'Aw, come here baby" Matt cooed and lifted her up cradling her in his arms, "Daddy's missed you too, I'm going to have to have you and Mommy stay with me on shift one day when you're a little older maybe."
"Maybe," Gabby nodded, "But only for a few hours I don't want us getting in the way or causing to many distractions."
"Never," He kissed her lips and then kissed Ellie's forehead, the baby asleep again on his arms.
"Hey," Antonio smiled in the way of a greeting as Gabby and Matt walked into the intelligence unit. He gave Gabby a hug and kiss before quickly hugging Matt, "Now where's my favourite little niece," He peered into the car seat Matt was carrying and smiled as he saw Ellie wide awake, "Come to your favourite uncle," He lifted her up.
"Favourite Uncle?" Gabby laughed, "I think Kelly Severide might disagree."
He smirked, "Yeah well I'm here real Uncle."
"And her favourite," Gabby grinned, "How's Laura doing?"
"Alright; Eva's still alright with the idea of a new baby but Diego's not taking it so well. I think he's really upset about being the middle child; keeps spouting out stats about middle child syndrome and things like that."
"Well he differently got his smarts from Laura."
"Very funny," He gently punched her shoulder, "You and Ellie wait here," He handed her Ellie as they reached the top of the stairs and walked into the Unit, "Voight's just in his office."
"Okay," She settled in at his desk and held Ellie in her arms.
They were in the office for around twenty minutes and just as Matt was coming out the rest of the unit were coming in. She'd heard about what'd happened so she just let them o their own thing but when she saw Erin Lindsay she knew she had to say something.
"Erin," She stood and walked over to the woman's desk, "I heard about what happened to your friend and I'm sorry, I know what that's like and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone."
Erin barely met her eyes when she said, "Yeah, uh… thanks."
"Gabs" Antonio motioned to where he and Matt were waiting by the stairs.
"Right," She nodded and went to get the car seat before following Antonio and Matt down the stairs.
"Erin's taking it pretty hard," Antonio explained it them, "But we're all trying, I'll see what I can do about getting in at the club so I can help you out," He changed the subject as he turned to face Matt.
"You're going undercover too?" Gabby asked her brother.
"Yeah," He nodded, "Maybe, if I can use one of my UC Identities to get in as a bouncer or security guard. Matt was saying too he might let me use my real name if I just tweaked my story and said I was an ex-cop looking for a job, we'll see whatever gets me in."
"Just be careful," Gabby warned him.
"Of course," He kissed her cheek, "See you later."
"Yeah."
"See you later Bro," Antonio and Matt fist bumped and quickly hugged.
"See you're already like brothers," Gabby teased as they walked out of the unit and back to the car.
"Yeah brother who can kick my ass in boxing," Matt informed her as he began buckling Ellie's car seat into the back seat and then triple checking it to make sure that it was secure. When he was sure it was safe he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead before climbing into the passenger seat.
"Only if he thinks you deserve it," Gabby told him and started the car to drive home, "So how're things at fifty-one?" She asked as they passed the firehouse.
"Alright," He responded.
"Matt…." They both knew he was lying.
"Otis' has been going on about Rice and how he's been ducking out of fires and Severide's getting annoyed, really angry actually. It kind of all blew up this shift and now Severide's been avoiding me."
"Ooh," She breathed out, "Well just calm your guys down and talk to him I'm sure you two can work this out."
"Yeah hopefully."
"I'm sure you can."
"Damn it Kelly," Matt swore under his breath as he read a text message from Hermann warning him about what had just happened at Molly's.
"What'd he do?" Gabby turned slightly to look at him.
"That was Hermann he and Otis got into a fight at Molly's and Kelly and Squad just left this has gotten way out of hand," he rubbed a hand over his face."
"Talk to Severide when he gets home and Otis next shift."
"I know," he nodded, "I just can't stop thinking about what happened before and after Darden died, I can't let that happen again Gabby."
"I know Babe," She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, "And I'm sure Kelly doesn't either.
Just then Kelly walked into the apartment in an angry rage, "You punching my guys out now?" Matt stood and angrily approached him.
"Yeah because they can't keep their damn mouths shut," He shoved past him, :I'm staying with April for a few days."
"Fine by me!"
Kelly whipped his head around and stared at him, "You need to keep your men in line on and off shift."
"Maybe they're not the problem!"
"Maybe its you!"
"Hey!" Gabby yelled louder then both of them "Knock it off! Kelly you go and get your things! You two need some time apart."
Matt let Kelly leave without another word and as soon as the door was closed he began to collect his things, "I gotta go Babe," He gave Gabby a kiss on the lips, "I'm meeting Antonio and Voight at twenty-one before we go to the club."
"Be careful."
"Always," He gave her another kiss and then gave Ellie a kiss as well.
An hour and a half later he was walking into the club giving a stubble nod to Antonio who was undercover as a bouncer\security guard. He found Jack and followed him into the back and into a room where five men were sitting.
"Search him," The one told two guys and they were patting him down and taking away his cell phones and wallet.
"What's the idea?" He glared at them and then Jack.
"Why do you have two cell phones?" The man in charge didn't answer his question an instead asked one of his own.
"One's for my business an one's not," He explained. He was half telling the truth, his one phone was his real phone but the other was an undercover on with a built in speaker that transmitted all conversations make to the district.
"Open them," He ordered and he make sure he obliged two of his guys now had their hands on their guns ready to shoot him if he didn't listen.
Matt unlocked both of them and handed them back without any hesitation. "Cute kid," He saw a picture of Ellie as the home screen on Matt's real phone, he looked through it and tossed it back to him after a few minutes, "Now lets see what's in here," He opened the undercover phone.
