So here you go as promised! I seem to have a serious problem with writing chapters that are least 1,000 words long...
Jay didn't know what to think of Intelligence.
The Sargent and Antonio obviously had some bad blood. Along with that, Antonio was the one who brought him into the unit. So Jay was pulled into it as well.
The Sargent had a favorite, Lindsay.
They brought in a completely untrained rookie from the academy.
There was an older cop who gave him the creepy vibe.
The only thing normal about the unit was Antonio and Jules.
Then within a week of Jay joining unit, they met Pulpo.
First he was partnered with Lindsay. Who showed him little to no respect as a partner.
Then Jules died. Which left Antonio a mess.
Then Diego was taken. Which left Antonio in a eve bigger mess.
When Gabby came over to check on Antonio at the district as she left she talked to Jay.
"Keep an eye on him for me. Can you do that?"
He nodded with sincerity, "Of course."
Jay kept his distance.
When on the sniper rifle Voight kept pressing him to shoot, not taking into terms that Diego was in danger of the shot.
Instead Antonio, like a boss, shot Mateo himself.
Voight didn't seem to trust Jay anymore.
Jay had dated a lot of girls, but Gabby was different.
Date night didn't have to be fancy. It could be spaghetti with Ally in between them and they were both happy.
One of these instances Jay had a rough day before he came to her apartment.
"So is Intelligence as bad as it sounds?" Gabby mentioned randomly
Jay gave her a confused look.
"Tonio says Voight treats everyone like crap, and you can't seem to shake off a girl flirting with you."
Jay just sighed and looked at his food.
"I'm trying to stop her."
"I know, I trust you." Gabby said as her hand reached across the table and grabbed his.
Ally was confused but decided to copy her mama and reached and held onto two of Jay's fingers on his other hand.
Gabby and Jay smiled at Ally.
When both of the girl's hands retreated Jay went off to tell Gabby a G rated version of the hell unit called Intelligence.
She did not understand how Her brother and her boyfriend could love and hate their job so much. Then she remembered what she did for a living.
As time went on Jay he believed he was gaining some respect. But that changed in minuets when Lonnie Rodiger rolled into the picture.
Jay already told Gabby the story of Coroson's son and she was fine and impressed with him eating dinner with them. She liked that he was committed to the family.
That night, when he had been stripped of his badge, gun and title he only knew one place he wanted to go.
Antonio might kill him, but he needed her.
No, Antonio would kill him. He specifically told him not to go near Gabby.
Tonio was protecting the ones he loved, but Jay needed her.
"Jay... God, are you ok? You look terrible..." She said as she ushered him into her place.
"Is... Ally asleep?" He asked shakily. " It's 9 pm so I figured..."
She nodded gently leading him into her apartment and locking the door behind them.
"What's wrong babe?"
"Ben Coroson's killer was murdered. They think I did it."
Gabby didn't think for a second that he did it.
"They took my gun and badge, and might take my pension."
"Antonio doesn't believe this does he?" she said in disbelief, it took a lot of convincing to make Antonio believe anything new.
"I don't know, it's kinda my fault, he told me not to get involved and I approached the guy one time, harmless, he is pissed though."
"Well that makes two of us who don't always do what he says."
"I don' know why this matters I just needed to see you right now, he told me not to come here." His voice cracking.
She jumped closer to his side on the couch.
"Not his choice. It's ok, you're gonna be fine. Antonio will get you out of this... He's got your back."
"I don't know Gabby..."" But being a cop meant everything to me..."
"You are still going to be a cop!" She leaned onto his shoulder.
He placed his hand on her head to keep it there.
"Well I still have you and Ally."
And you will always have us.
He smiled.
The two turned on the tv later to distract themselves and Gabby had the remote. She knew to skip over local news channels but suddenly something caught her eye.
"The fire blazed though five floors of the building..."
Jay had been looking at his phone for a second not noticing her face.
"I really don't feel like watching news.. He noted.
"Give me a second!" She snapped.
He looked up concerned.
"My team took three lower floors saving all the people in the building before it collapsed." A firefighter on tv noted.
Jay could feel Gabby tense up just by looking at her.
"Gabby... Who is that?"
She took a shaky breath.
"That's Ally's father."
Well this just got interesting! I'll try to get another chapter up by Thursday. Thanks for reading!
