MATT'S POV

This first day of undercover is over. Antonio and I are making our way to the District to meet Voight and debrief the day. Antonio is driving and I'm in the passenger seat never stopping playing with my phone and looking at the screensaver which is a pic of Gabby and I. I'm dying to call her just to hear her voice and know she is fine.

"What are you waiting for?" Antonio asks me, smiling.

"What are you talking about?" I ask him back.

"Come on, man, you can't stop checking your phone! Call her, we are in the car, no one can listen… Well, except me, but I know you two are such sweet lovebirds… So I can handle it!" he teases me.

"I can't stop thinking about her; she wasn't feeling well this morning…" I tell him, dialing Gabby's number.

GABBY'S POV

I'm cooking the dinner for the guys while I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket. I can't resist smiling when I see the caller ID and the picture of Matt on my screen. I let my dinner preparation and I go outside to take the call. It's already dark outside, but I don't care, I'm at the firehouse and two police officers are in their car, watching people running in and out.

"Hey baby!" I say, picking up the phone.

"Hey honey, how are you? How's shift?" Matt asks me.

"Fine, a lot of calls… I was cooking dinner for a bunch of hungry firefighters!" I laugh. "How about you guys? Do you have some leads?" I ask him.

"Yeah, we're going to the District to meet Voight and we'll run down some leads… We will try to bring a policewoman in the business because girls are very evasive when we try to talk from their origins and how they have arrived to Chicago…" he explains me.

"It's a really weird story… I hope all will be fine for these girls!" I just say.

"Everything's going to be okay, Gabby! I can't talk more about this with you, I'm sorry… We need to be discrete, we never know…Knowing too much could get you hurt… I text you later, I love you!" he tells me.

"I understand! Be careful, both of you. I love you too!" I tell him back, before hanging up.

Away, I see someone who's staring at me. It's a man with a long and dark coat. It's a fairly large man who's smocking and never stops looking at me. I'm slowly approaching him and he's not moving, still staring at me with insistence.

When I am a few meters away from him, my telephone rings with an unknown identifier. Then I hear a voice blurred: "you will tell to your fiancé to be more careful and not to get involved in what does not look at him."

The man then runs, and I stand here looking at him going away, in a state of shock.

The two police officers then come to see me and ask me if everything goes well. I lie and I tell them I'm perfectly fine.

I return inside the house to finish the dinner, but I am losing focus, the same images and words running through my head over and over. It didn't take long to Hermann to notice that something is wrong.

"Dawson, you're ok?" he asks me, his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah…. Yeah… Everything's fine…" I answer him, in an unpersuasive tone.

"You're sure? You know you can always talk to me, right?" he tells me. Hermann has always been here for me, a true paternal figure. His last sentence draws Severide's attention. He looks at me worried.

"Dawson, you're really pale… Come sit one minute!" he orders me.

I sit beside him, and he looks at me with an interrogative look.

"We can't talk here…" I just tell him, standing up and telling him to follow me in his office.

MATT'S POV

Voight waits for us in his office to talk about the investigations.

"Come on, sit down!" he welcomes us, coldly like always.

"So, we suspect a possible prostitution ring with girls from Eastern Europe. I think Jack tries to spread the ring, he has numerous meetings with shady men, certain belonging probably to the Russian mafia..." Antonio debriefs to Voight.

"How many girls are currently working at Stilettos?" Voight asks.

"From what I saw the last few weeks, I guess about 15 or 20…" I answer him.

"Two of them told us they are from Russia and Estonia but they took some distances when we asked her how they all ended up here…" Antonio explains. "We have an idea to learn more about them, but it's your decision to make…" he informs Voight.

"Tell me…" Voight says.

"I think infiltrate their crew could be a great idea… We have Paula at the district, she could easily transform into one of those girls… She's blonde, and well, she has generous curves… What do you think?" Antonio explains to Voight his project.

"I think it could be a great way to progress quickly… But how we will able to introduce her?" Voight asks skeptically.

"She could go to the club, saying she's looking for a job and some of her Russian's contacts in Chicago referenced this place to her…" Antonio says.

"That seems persuasive… I will call officer Tichenko tonight, and we all meet here tomorrow at 8am." Voight announces us.

Antonio and I make our way outside the District, it's almost 9pm.

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Antonio asks me.

"What about something to eat first? Gabby's on shift, and well…" I tell him.

"And you can say it, no one is waiting for me at home, it's ok!" he says. "What about a pizza at Pepe's?" he asks me.

"Fine with me!" I answer him, taking my phone from my pocket to text Gabby: "Everything is ok. I'm going to dinner with your brother. See you tomorrow morning, I love you baby."

GABBY'S POV

Severide pulls me towards his office and closes the door behind him. He makes me a sign from the head to tell me to sit on his bed.

"Take big and deep breaths, Gabs…" he tells me, and he rubs my back to reassure me. "Everything goes well, breathe slowly and calmly..." he says again, knowing I need to be reassured right now. I do what he tells me to do, but I can't retain the tears that are running on my cheeks.

"What have happened Gabby?" he asks me quietly.

"I went outside to take Matt's phone call and… and, uh…" I can't find my words.

"And what Gabby? Talk to me!" he tells me.

"And, uh… Someone was staring at me during all the phone call… When I hanged up, I went closer to him… And… Uh… And… As I was getting closer and closer… My phone rang and I had… a kind of… voicemail maybe…" I explain him.

"What the message was saying?" he asks me, worried.

"It was a scrambled voice… and it said that Matt needed to be careful and need to mind on his own business…" I tell him, breaking down.

"WHAT?" Kelly yells.

"Please, don't tell Matt or Antonio!" I beg him between sobs.

"ARE YOU KIDDING? GABBY! YOUR PHONE IS PROBABLY TAPPED AND A GUY WAS WATCHING YOU!" he yells, louder.

"I know, I'm so scared… But we can't tell them, it might interfere with their mission… Please Kelly, don't tell them… I don't want to put them in anymore danger…" I beg him again.

He sits down next to me and takes my hand in his. "Gabby, you have to tell them. It's important and you are the one at risk here…" he says.

"I understand your point of view, but I could be putting their lives in danger as I speak… And I can't risk losing one of them… They are the two most important people in my life, Kelly. You have to understand…" I say.

"Gabby, I don't agree with you. It's too dangerous, and I care too much about the two of you to let you do this…" he tells, leaving the room.

"Kelly, please…" I run after him as he already has his phone in his hands.

He turns to me. "You know what? I will wait until tomorrow to give you a chance to do the right thing, but if you don't talk to them or anyone, I promise you I will…" he warns me. "Waiting, you're not going outside alone, I will sleep next to you and I'm not going to leave your side! Just know that you're not in this thing alone." he tells me.

I get closer to him and he takes me in his arms. "I can't lose you or Matt… You're too important to me for that!" he tells me with a voice full of sincerity.

The next morning…

MATT'S POV

I wake up at 6am and I have to leave even before Gabby comes home. I am worried; she didn't answer my text last night. Thus, I send her another one: "Baby, I have to join your brother and Voight very early. I shall not be there when you will return, but please call me or answer me, I worry. I love you."

I get up; get ready and meet Antonio in the local café to have breakfast.

"Are you ready?" He asks me. "Today things are going to take a new level!" He announces me.

"I'm more than ready. I'm ready do to this! I look forward to that it ends! These last days were complicated and filled with stress… I'm not sure I can handle it a few more weeks…" I admit to him and he looks at me with a smile full of sympathy.

We meet Voight and Officer Tichenko at the District 30 minutes later. Paula is already dressed like the strip girls and Voight is briefing her: "You've got to infiltrate the girls' crew, and find out how they have arrived in Chicago, what Jake promised her..." he explains to her.

"Totally understand!" she understands him.

With Antonio we arrive at the club, we salute Jack and some girls before going to our room and start working. Paula arrives at the club 45 minutes later and we watch her from the porthole of the window.

"Good morning, I'm Paula. I'm looking for a job in a strip club…" she introduces her to Jack.

"Well, welcome Paula. Where are you from?" he asks her, suspicious.

"I'm from Lithuania. I arrived in Chicago two weeks ago and one of my contacts advised me to come to you." She tells him.

"And, can I know who is this contact?" he asks.

"Mister George Molanikenko is the one who told me you would be the best person I could talk to!" she answers him, careful to use the name of one of our spies in the mafia.

"Well, he always has great recommendations… We will make a try!" he tells her, indicates her to follow him in his office.

GABBY'S POV

With Severide, we come home and we go to our respective room after having checked that all the windows and doors are well closed.

I undress in our bedroom and leaves in underwear to take a long and hot shower to relax.

When I return in the room, I only wear a towel wrapped around my chest. I take my phone to answer Matt, and it's at this moment that I receive several messages from an unknown number.

"Very attractive red underwear... You're such a sexy Latina!" the first message says.

The second one said: "You should bring down the towel…"

I realize that I am at present observed, I look through the windows of the room and I run to the living room by making a lot of noises, crying hysterically and shouting.

Severine comes quickly to me and try to calm me down by bringing my arms firmly. I try to hit him, but he's very strong.

"Some… Someone… is stalking me RIGHT NOW!" I yell hysterically.

At this moment, my phone buzzes again. It's a photo of me taking my shower ten minutes earlier.
