Hi there! I wanted to post this chapter much earlier but the last two days were totally crazy. I'm sorry for the delay. I didn't even have a chance to see the newest Chicago PD episode yet! From what I read it's a great one so I hope I will manage to watch it soon.

So this is the last chapter of Two Seconds. What might have happened after they went to Molly's? Here's what I would like to see.

Enjoy!

'I wanna get drunk, who's in?'

Antonio didn't have to ask twice. 30 minutes later we hit Molly's to celebrate our win.

'Seriously man, you should work on some bigger discounts for us here' Adam said as he reached for his tequila shot and bear. Everybody laughed.

'First of all – we're regular customers of Molly's' Antonio leaned forward to pretend he's been listening carefully with a fool smile on his face.

'Second of all – your own cute and beauty sister is the owner'

Alvin drank his shot and shook his head, amused by his colleague.

'Ruzek, maybe you…'

'Hey, hey, I'm not done yet!' Adam moved closer to Antonio 'And the most important thing is – we are family, Antonio, you know that we all love you, right?'

After that words everybody burst into a loud laugh.

'You sneaky bastard! You always find a way to scrounge a free ride!' Dawson grabbed Ruzek's head trying to rub his hair. 'The next round is on me. You better be ready, cause I'm bringing you my favorite, extra strong!'

'We're on it, boss!' Atwater stood up.

As Antonio disappeared, I took my shot and dropped it into my beer. After a long day, a good rest still wasn't in sight. But the beer tasted good and helped to cool off and relax. Sometimes if you involve in things too hard - you get yourselves into some kind of a… mental carousel. Then you need to get out of it and stand on a solid ground for a while. That is what happens now. No more bounty on my head, no more Bembenek, Maddie is getting better, Voight approved my dedication. That's my solid ground. After taking another sip I looked on the opposite side of our table to meet Alvin's expressive gaze.

'You good, kid?' he asked quietly, so the chatterboxes next to us don't hear it.

Having finished the beer I put the glass on the table, looked in Olinsky's direction I said 'Yup, I'm good. Standing on a solid ground now'.

As he gave me a nod I knew he understood. He always did.

'What solid? All solid you need is a drink so here you are!' Antonio exclaimed as he stormed to our table with bunch of glasses filled with golden liquid.

I raised my eyebrow and gave him a fooled, confused look followed by smile. We took our glasses as Antonio said:

'Ok, listen up! It's not just another night at Molly's! Today we are celebrating our great win!'

Everybody cheered up after these words.

'Jay' Antonio pointed at me 'I knew you're loyal to your city, but today… I'm proud of you. I'm proud that I am the one who brought you into that unit'

Oh damn. I hate being in the center of attention. I never know what to do or what to say! All I could do was to try to hide my confusion.

'That was a big thing, man' Atwater raised his glass in my direction.

'Had to work really hard to keep you safe' Adam winked at me.

'Sorry about being so bitchy on you, but I hope you understand we had to' that was Roman. I looked at him and nodded that I appreciate their help.

Alvin just stared at me and didn't have to say anything. Just then Nadia stormed in repeating how sorry she is for being late.

'Did I miss something important?' she asked.

This time Burgess spoke: 'No, you're just on time'

'Here's your beer' Antonio handed her a glass. Nadia just gave him a shy smile as she took it. 'So, where were we?'

They all could say that Antonio certainly enjoyed his 'showman' role. And he was doing quite good.

'I guess you just wanted to say: "We're here to get drunk, so let's drink to that"' I was pretty sure Antonio will hit back but instead he just looked me in my eyes and raised his glass. Everybody followed. So did I.

'Cheers!' and we all bang our glasses in the air.

Sometimes to feel happy and safe all that you need is another two seconds. Raise your glass and bang your beers. That simple. Find the right company and let them give you these two seconds.

The only thing I regret is that Erin couldn't make it to be with us at Molly's. But I was glad that she decided to go to the wedding. It seemed like the right way to rebuild the relation with her mother. Because your family is your family. You cannot choose it. Although there's always the second family. Not less important than the blood ties. The family you choose. Or they choose you. Maybe I'm not the most trustful person so it took me awhile to become a part of our family. The team – family. But I'm glad that I finally made it. Lots of things has happened since the day I met Voight. Intelligence was just my job, the team just my coworkers. Then they became my friends I can rely on. My second family. That's not a thing you get in two seconds. It takes a little longer. Although it's all worth waiting.

A/N I cannot believe that this is it! My first published fanfiction ever just came to the end. I tried to do my best to express my concept. It was great fun to write! Thank you for every review (my mail box probably hates me for refreshing it every 2 minutes) and every visit to this page!

I'm working on some other story ideas, so maybe one day I will try to publish some of these.

Thank you again and have a wonderful day! :)
