After what Hank had said Erin went from being shocked to happy, Dani was her niece. The little girl was Hank's granddaughter. She saw the tears fall freely from Hank's eyes.
"What are you gonna tell her?" Erin asked.
"The truth. But not now, she's too young to understand". Hank replies.
"I understand".
"I'm gonna do what Serena wanted me to do, I'm gonna protect Dani and keep her safe. No matter what I gotta do, she's my little girl now".
Before Erin could say something the door was opened by Dani, Hank quickly wiped his face. Luckily the six and a half year old didn't see it, Hank bent down to see his precious little girl.
"What's up sweetie". Hank says.
"I'm hungry". Dani responded.
Looking at the time it was almost seven in the evening, where had the day gone? Hank gathered up what he needed while Dani gathered up her stuff. Soon the older father and Dani left the office, stopping for a moment Hank turned to look at Adam.
"Ruzek, Saturday at 7". Hank tells his detective.
"Got it boss". Adam replied.
The rest of the week passed by pretty quick and soon it was Saturday, this would be the first time in months Hank will be away from his little girl. It was only gonna be for a couple of hours, he had a highly trained detective watching his princess, everything should be ok. Dani was occupied with her toys while Hank was getting ready, he was fixing the sleeve of his shirt when there was a knock on the door.
"It's Adam!" Dani says excitedly, running to the door.
"Dani wait for me, you know not to answer the door by yourself". Hank told her.
"But it's Adam".
Hank chuckled shaking his head, he went ahead opening the door to see his detective. Adam was entering his boss's house, he was a nervous reck. The last time he and Kevin watched Dani there was a shoot out, he was afraid something might happen.
"Good timing Ruzek". Hank says.
"Thanks boss". Adam replies.
"I'm laying down a few rules and pay attention, I don't like telling people things twice. First, Dani is to be in bed no later than 9. No sweets or junk after 8:30. She can play with her toys, watch tv, no horror or scary movies because if she doesn't sleep tonight you won't sleep tonight. You have my cell, Al's, the team's, the number to 51 and Med are on the fridge, if she gets sick I have medicine up in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom along with a thermometer-" He was cut off by Adam chuckling.
"Sarge I think I got it".
"Anyway, medicine and thermometer up in the bathroom in the medicine cabinet. She hasn't eaten yet I figured y'all can order pizza or take out, Dani can be a picky eater at times so make sure she has her mind made up with what she wants. Also she's allergic to peanuts, so no peanut butter, peanuts, no nuts period, if she does have an allergic reaction here is an epi pen". He hands over the epipen. "You inject it into her thigh then call for an ambulance then you call me".
"I understand".
"One more thing, Dani better be in one piece when I get back because if not you won't be in one piece".
"I understand completely".
Hank was still unsure about this but he had complete faith in his detective to watch his precious little girl. "I'm trusting on you to watch her Ruzek".
"I promise I got this Sarge, if I need any help I'll call the others".
"I don't know, maybe this is a mistake".
"Sarge you deserve a couple of hours out, I got Dani if I need help I'll call the others. If anything happens I have everyone on speed dial. Everyone on the team, 51, Med, I can handle this".
Nodding his head he already knew this was gonna be an eventful night because he knew what Dani had planned for Adam. Not only did he know but the whole team knew and they all managed to not utter a word of it the whole week. After debating with himself Hank finally agreed to go.
"Dani, come here honey". Hank called for his daughter.
The little girl then carefully ran over to her father and looked up at him, her bright green eyes shining and when she smiled at him his heart swelled. She had Justin's exact smile.
"Yes daddy". Dani replied.
"I'm going out with Alvin for just a couple of hours, Adam's gonna watch you. Listen to whatever he tells you, don't give him a hard time, you're bedtime is 9".
"Can we watch a movie?"
"You can watch two movies but nothing scary or horror".
"Ok".
"Be good and behave alright".
"I will".
"That's my girl".
Dani then hugged her father and Hank held onto her as if it was gonna be the last time, he kissed her head. He then set her back down and kissed her head one last time then shot his detective a pointed look.
"Remember what I said Ruzek". Hank told him.
"I remember boss". Adam says.
Hank was opening the door when Dani called to him, "Bye daddy!"
"Bye baby! Be good!"
"I will!"
After the door closed a mischievous grin appeared on the six and a half-year-old's face as she turned to look at Adam. When he looked to her the grin disappeared as a look of innocence was now on her face.
"So, Dani, you hungry yet?" Adam asked.
"Can we have pizza?" Dani answers.
"Sure, anything else?"
"Can we get breadsticks? And chicken wings?"
"Sure, what flavor wings?"
"Honey bbq".
Adam was placing the order while Dani went to her room to get some stuff and brought it down, she was bringing down a dress-up kit, a brush, some other hair stuff, and a new makeup kit Erin had just got her. After finishing the order he looked to see Dani setting up her stuff.
"Whatcha doing there sweetheart?"
"We're gonna play dress up".
"I don't think I can, that's stuff's too small for me".
The little girl then put on a fake pout just like Jay had taught her. "But you said we could do whatever I wanted". She turned away pulling the fake tears, whines, and whimpers.
Adam didn't know if she was playing him again, but when he heard the whines and whimpers he caved. He didn't wanna explain to Voight why Dani was crying or he'd never hear the end of it.
"How do you play dress up?"
Dani then turned around smiling brightly. "I'm glad you asked, come with me".
Being dragged over to where the stuff was Adam knew one thing, he was really regretting what he had said.
Meanwhile
Hank and Alvin were at Alvin's house, the two were in the garage about to leave. Hank needed to talk to his friend. The two headed to Molly's for a little bit, after arriving there Herrmann already knew what they drank so he poured their drinks. After getting their drinks they went to a table, Alvin had a feeling of what his friend wanted to talk to him about but he wanted to let Hank tell him instead of saying it first.
"What's up man". Alvin spoke, already knowing.
"I had a DNA test ran on me and Dani". Hank said.
"What were the results?"
"Dani's my grandchild. She's, Justin's. For almost seven years I never knew I had another grandchild, a granddaughter".
"Hank none of that was on you".
"Serena only stayed with Marco for Dani's sake. That son of a bitch told her if she left with Dani he would have killed them both. For six and a half years Dani was being abused, neglected, locked up like an animal, if we hadn't found her when we did he would have killed her".
"Did Justin know?"
"No. I found a letter addressed to me at Serena's old house, when she found out she was pregnant she was coming to tell us but Adrian stopped her. He assumed the baby was his and he told her if she ever left he'd kill her and the baby so for Dani's sake she stayed. She wanted to reach out to me but she was too scared of that bastard".
Alvin knew there was something else, he knew his friend like an open book. There was something that Hank wasn't telling him.
"What else did you find out?"
After gulping down the rest of his drink, Hank sighed sadly. Then anger and fury burned heavily into his body. "When Dani was about 2, 3 months old, Serena and Marco get into a fight and he accused her of cheating because he had a feeling Dani wasn't his. She admitted it that he wasn't Dani's father and he killed her. That son of a bitch killed the mother of my grandchild in the same house where Dani was. A neighbor said that the night he killed her after he did it he packed up and took Dani and left. I should have been there for her, I should have made her stay with me. If she had she'd be alive, Dani would have a mother, she'd have a family".
"She was scared man, Serena was scared not only for her but for Dani. We both know a parent will do just about anything to keep their child safe no matter what".
Hank nodded, they did whatever it took to keep their children safe. Alvin took a drink of his wine when he spoke again.
"When are you gonna tell Dani the truth?"
"When she's older, she's too young to understand. Dani's still a baby, I want her to be a kid I don't want her to have anything else to deal with".
"I understand".
"I'm gonna check on her".
"Hank, she's fine. Dani's with Ruzek, I'm sure they're fine".
"I still wanna check".
Hank pulled out his phone and Alvin got confused when his friend wasn't dialing a number.
"How are you checking on them exactly?"
"I had Mouse help me install cameras all in the house just in case someone watches Dani and I'm not there".
"You installed cameras in your house?"
"Precautions".
He pulled up the current video footage and he began chuckling which got Alvin curious.
"What is it?"
Showing Alvin his phone the older man also began laughing.
Meanwhile
Adan continued to sit on the floor while Dani kept pulling and tugging his head, she put a couple small rubber bands in his hair forming little waterfalls. Once that was finished she began putting in hair clips, the young detective looked up hoping someone, anyone would save him from this. This was worse than being shot at or tortured.
"Adam! Stop moving you're making me mess up!" Dani scolded the detective.
"Sorry kiddo, this hurts my head". Adam quickly said.
"It wouldn't hurt if you sit still".
"I'll do my best".
After a couple more minutes she was finished with his hair. "All done".
He then muttered. "Thank god".
"Look you're so pretty".
She held up a mirror and showed him his hair, he looked horrified. Half of his hair was in small ponytails, there were different colored hair clips in his hair. He didn't wanna break the little girl's heart and he really didn't wanna explain anything to Hank so he looked at her with a huge fake smile.
"It looks really amazing".
"Erin's showing me a lot of things to do with hair. Now it's time for clothes".
The detective let out a cough. "Sweetie I can't fit your clothes, I'm huge".
"I have that taken care of".
Adam looked confused and Dani pulled out a bright purple glittery princess dress that was just his size.
"Who made that?"
"That's for me to know and you to never find out, now you gotta go change".
"I don't know".
Once again Dani had pulled a pouty face, she looked as if she was about to cry again.
"But it's part of dressing up, you promised. I want my daddy, he likes playing dress up with me".
Adam looked wide-eyed at hearing his boss, he couldn't let Hank come home to Dani upset. This was worse than torture, if he were, to tell the truth, he rather be in a shootout than being a giant Barbie doll.
"Dani sweetie please don't cry, I'll put it on under one condition".
She let out a fake whimper. "What?"
"Don't tell anybody about this and we can do whatever you want the rest of the night till you gotta go to bed".
Whipping around with a smile she gave her response. "Deal".
After that the young detective went to the hall bathroom and changed, he struggled to put the dress on and after wrestling and struggling he finally had it on. He looked down at himself and groaned.
"What the hell did I get myself into?" He whispered.
"Are you done yet?" Dani called.
"Yeah. I'm coming".
He then left the bathroom and Dani was changed into a blue princess dress and she was holding makeup brushes. Adam then looked wide-eyed. Can anyone help him from this?
He went over to the little girl and sat on the floor, Dani then began putting on purple eyeshadow on him. She was applying the eyeshadow very heavy, once that was finished she then began putting pink blush on him. Once that was finished she then pulled out lipstick he was about to protest but Dani quickly pulled the pouty face which made the detective cave. The six and a half year old began putting on the purple lipstick and got it everywhere on him, it covered his lips and went on his cheeks.
After she was finished she held up a mirror showing him her handy work. "You look so beautiful".
He opened his eyes and looked completely horrified, he looked like a circus clown. As long as no one he knew seen him like this he was safe. He gave her a fake happy smile.
"It looks great sweetie".
Just then there was a knock at the door, he then sat there frozen in shock. There was no way in hell he was gonna let anybody see him like this, not a cold chance in hell. But he couldn't let Dani open the door otherwise Hank would have his ass then he'd have to deal with Alvin and Trudy. Getting up he went to get his wallet, he got it and went to the door. The delivery person looked at him and laughed, taking some cash out his wallet he handed it over.
"If you don't say anything you can keep the change". Adam whispered.
"Whatever man". The guy laughed.
After getting the food Adam shut the door and brought it to the kitchen. "Dani! Dinner's on kiddo!"
"Coming!"
Going through the cabinets he found the plates he got one for him and he pulled out a pink and purple Disney princess plate for Dani. He put some pizza, a couple wings and a breadstick on their plates. He then grabbed a couple of glasses, he poured him some soda and Dani some juice.
"Can we eat at my table? Please?"
"Let's go".
Adam carried the plates out to the living room setting them on the small table while Dani went through her movies and began looking through them. She then pulled one out bringing it to Adam.
"Let's watch this one".
It was The Little Mermaid, he rather do anything else, be anywhere else than there at that moment in time but he made a promise and he was a man of his word. As long as no one else knew it was all good but if it ever got out nobody would ever let him hear the end of it.
"It's a good choice, I'll put it in".
He put the movie in and the two began watching it, halfway through the movie Dani was trying to get Adam to sing but he kept messing up.
There was a knock on the door which got the young detective confused, who was at the door? He didn't bring his weapon because he didn't wanna scare the little girl. As Adam went to the door Dani had a mischievous grin on her face, she knew who was at the door.
The detective opened the door and as soon as he saw who it was he could have died. It was everyone else on the team and when they laid eyes on their friend they all broke out laughing.
"This is not what it looks like". Adam spoke.
"I think it is". Jay laughed.
"Adam, I think purple suits you very well". Antonio laughed next.
"You look very beautiful". Kevin laughs hard.
"You all knew didn't you?" Adam asked.
"We're innocent till proven guilty". Erin tries to hide her laughter.
"By the way, the dress fits great". Jay commented.
"It's Princess Addison". Antonio mocked.
"Isn't Adam beautiful?" Dani asked coming up.
"He's very beautiful sweetheart, you did a very good job".
"Now that you're all here we all can play".
"Play what?" Jay asked.
"Dress up, I have dresses for everyone".
" How'd you get dresses to fit us?" Kevin asked.
"That's for me to know and you to never find out".
She then went to grab the dresses, Adam had glared over at Jay then smacked him upside the head.
"What the hell was that for?" Jay asked, rubbing his sore head.
"That was for teaching Dani, that damn pouty face and fake crying". Adam replied.
"What's wrong Adam you got whipped by a little girl?" Kevin mocked.
"What? No way".
" You fell pretty hard for it the other day when she made you that coffee". Antonio joked.
"I thought she was literally crying!"
"I'm back!" Dani announced.
Every looked at the little girl carrying different colored dresses and began passing them out. She gave Jay a bright red glittery dress, she handed Antonio a turquoise dress, Kevin a bright yellow dress, and Erin a deep pink dress.
After everyone had put the dresses on, Adam began chuckling at his friends. Now they knew what he had been going through. Dani had made all of them sit on the floor while she began working on their hair.
She couldn't do much with Kevin since he was bald so she put on matching yellow headband on his head. She then moved to Jay, she tried to do to his hair what she did with Adam's. The little girl managed to get a few small ponytails in his hair then put in a few clips.
Next was Antonio, she managed to get a few small ponytails in his hair and put in a matching headband. Finally was Erin, she could do more with her hair. Erin tried to help her but Dani insisted she could do it by herself, the six and a half year old had struggled to put her hair in a ponytail. After fighting and struggling she did it, the ponytail was lopsided and crooked but no one said a thing.
The guys were horrified except Antonio, Erin was the only one who was happy. She saw her teammates at the hands of a six-year-old and it was too good to be true.
Dani then pulled out the make up kit again and began doing everyone's makeup. All their makeup was very heavy and their lipstick was all over their lips getting on their cheeks.
"I gotta get a couple more things and I'll be right back". Dani told the group.
She went back up to her room and while she was gone the group talked quietly.
"We make a pact now, what happens at Voight's house stays at Voight's house. None of this leaves this place". Adam says quietly.
"Agreed". Jay replies quickly.
"Most definitely". Kevin also agreed.
Erin raised an eyebrow at her friend. "Don't you have a sister?"
"She wasn't the dressing up type".
"I don't see the big deal guys". Antonio chimes in.
Jay then looked over to him. "How are you ok with this?"
"You forget I have a daughter, Eva loved doing this when she was little".
" Just as long as no one sees this, we're good". Adam spoke.
"You guys are being a bunch of babies". Erin laughs.
Before anyone could say a word Dani came back down the stairs, she was carrying different colored nail polish and it matched everyone's outfits.
The guys all had huge fake smiles on their faces while Erin had a huge smile on her face she was trying to hide her laughter.
About 15 minutes later, Dani had finished painting everyone's nails. The nail polish covered their nails and their skin.
"Now it's time for the Royal tea party". Dani announced excitedly.
"Remember Dani, you're dad said no junk or sweets after 8:30". Adam reminded her.
"He doesn't have to know".
"Trust us kiddo he'll know". Jay tells her.
"I'll help you find something sweetheart, come on". Erin said getting up.
The two disappeared into the kitchen leaving the guys alone, all of them but Antonio was horrified. They looked like giant messed up Barbie dolls.
"We don't tell anyone about this. And I mean no one". Jay whispered his voice was strict.
"I'm with you on that". Adam agreed.
" Me too". Kevin chimed in.
"Guys it ain't that bad, it makes Dani happy and as long as she stays happy Voight stays happy. If Dani's upset then Voight will either kick your ass or kill you maybe yell at you. It depends". Antonio chimes in.
"Antonio's right it makes Dani happy and she's had a hard life and if this is what makes her happy we should go along with it". Jay agreed with his friend.
"Ok Princess Jayda". Adam mocked.
Jay then shot his friend a pointed look. "Princess Addison".
"Ok children". Antonio told them.
The two then looked at him spoke in a union. "Ok Princess Antonia".
He then shot them both a death glare. " I will destroy the both of you".
Kevin just sat there chuckling at his friends and when the chuckling got louder they then looked to him.
"What are you laughing at Princess Keevah". Adam shot playfully at his friend.
Before anyone could make another comment Dani and Erin had returned. The little girl was carrying a plate of shortbread cookies and Erin was carrying a gallon of sweet tea.
"It's time for tea and cookies!" Dani told everyone.
Adam double checked the time he didn't wanna have to deal with a sugar-hyped six year old then pass her back to Hank. Luckily it was only 10 after 8.
"Alright but only a few, I don't want your dad getting mad". Adam tells her.
Dani then began putting cookies on the small princess plates while Erin began pouring the tea.
"Why don't we get actual cups?" Kevin asked.
"You do, you're using them". Erin told him.
Jay picked up the small cup. "How is this considered a cup?"
"Because you use them for tea parties". Dani told him.
"Yeah Jay, there for tea parties". Erin backed up Dani.
They all drank the tea when they finished they all put their cups down. Jay wanted more so he picked up a random cup and poured some more tea.
"Dude! That's my cup". Adam said.
"No, it's mine". Jay replied.
"Can't be yours, that's mine". Antonio comes in.
"Are they really fighting over teacups?" Kevin asked in disbelief.
After the tea party, Dani wanted to watch another movie. Hank had gotten her a lot of Disney movies, she put on Frozen and it was the sing a long version. Half of the movie went by and they were on the part where the song, 'Do you want to build a snowman' came on.
The guys were way off key and Dani stopped them.
"No. It's like this,
Elsa
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on let's go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away-
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman.
Go away, Anna
Okay, bye…
Do you want to build a snowman
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls
Hang in there, Joan!
It gets a little lonely,
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by
(Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)
Elsa?
Please I know you're in there,
People are asking where you've been,
They say "have courage";
And I'm trying to,
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you want to build a snowman?"
Everyone was very impressed with the little girl's singing, she was a natural.
"That was amazing Dani". Jay spoke first.
"Thank you. Now it's your turn and we won't stop till you get it right". Dani told them firmly.
Mentally the guys groaned in their heads while Erin couldn't stop laughing at her team. They were all at the hands of a six-year-old. About nearly 30 minutes later everyone finally got the song right. Once the movie was over the time was nearing 9 and soon Dani would be going to bed. The little girl was already starting to struggle to stay awake and everyone saw.
"Dani, go get ready for bed sweetheart". Adam tells her.
"But I wanna wait for my daddy, he always reads me a bedtime story". Dani says
sleepily.
"How about I read you one?"
"Really?"
"Go get changed and pick out a book".
The tired little girl looked up to Erin. "Can you help me please".
"Absolutely, come on".
Erin brought the little girl upstairs to help her change while the guys quickly cleaned the living room and brought all the dishes to the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. A moment later the front door opened which made all the men freeze in their spots, they mentally cursed themselves for not having their weapons so they carefully went out to see Hank with Alvin.
The two older men looked to see the rest of the team dressed up, they started to laugh.
"Wait you both knew?" Antonio asked in shock.
"Who do you think helped Dani?" Alvin replies.
"Ruzek, I see my house is still standing, the living room is clean. Where's Dani?" Hank comes in.
"Erin's helping her get ready for bed then I was gonna read her a story". Adam answers.
"How the hell do we get this nail polish off?" Kevin asked.
"Just soak your nails in nail polish remover and take a cotton ball to clean it off. Not that hard". Hank told them.
The men looked in shock at their boss, they weren't gonna go in that direction of how he knew.
"We're not gonna ask how you know that". Jay says.
A grin appeared on Hank's face. "By the way, those colors suit all of you".
"We should really change now". Kevin tells them.
Once they all changed, fixed their hair and got the makeup cleaned off all except Adam headed out for the night. The young detective headed up to Dani's room, somehow the little girl managed to stay awake for her story and she held a book close to her chest.
"You still up sweetie?" Adam asked with a chuckle.
"I can't sleep without my story". Dani replied sleepily.
"Whatcha got to read?"
Dani handed the book over and it was Goodnight Moon which made Adam smile.
"This was one of my favorite books as a kid".
He opened the book and began reading, halfway through the book Adam had heard soft snoring and looked down to see Dani fast asleep. Closing the book he put it down then fixed the blanket around her, he then gave her a brotherly kiss to her head.
"Sleep, tight sweetheart". He whispered.
He quietly left the room and before he could a small voice called him back. "Adam?"
The young detective went back in and bent down to the little girl's level. "What is it, honey".
"Thank you for tonight, I had a lot of fun".
"I'm glad you had fun, I had fun myself".
"Maybe we can do something different next time".
"Maybe".
What had taken the young detective back was when Dani had shot out hugging him, he then hugged her back. His whole life he was an only child, he didn't have anyone to look up to or anyone to look out for. Now that Dani joined the family he felt as if he had a little sister, he still had his parents but ever since joining Intelligence and Dani coming into the picture he felt as if he had a true family.
Dani kissed Adam's cheek and whispered into his ear. "I love you, Adam".
"Love you too kiddo".
He then carefully laid the little girl back onto the bed and fixed the blanket around her, he then placed a small stuffed rabbit in her arm. Adam then left the room and headed downstairs, Hank looked to see his detective coming down he reached into his pocket and pulled out a couple of 20s and handed them over to him and the young detective refused.
"Sarge I can't honestly, It's ok". Adam says.
"I insist Ruzek". Hank replied.
Hank was giving him the don't argue back with me voice, after a couple of moments Adam took the money and thanked his boss then left for the night. After his detective had left Hank went up to check on his precious little princess.
He quietly walked into Dani's room to see her fast asleep, her stuffed bunny tucked tightly into her arm. He smiled as he tucked some loose hair back and gently took his finger caressing her cheek at that moment he took in how much Dani really resembled his son. At that moment he vowed that he'll always protect and keep Dani safe from anything and everything, from everyone. He'll raise her as his own and when's she old enough to understand he'll tell her the truth.
The rest of the weekend went by quick, by Monday morning everyone was gathering in the squad. The team minus Hank was there, the guys were still chipping the nail polish off their nails. Mouse was on his computer looking at the footage from Hank's house, he had put on a headset so he could hear the audio.
The tech was laughing hard at what he was watching the footage when he got louder everyone began looking at him.
"What are you laughing at?" Jay asked.
"Nothing Princess Jayda". Mouse laughed.
His face fell as the others laughed, Mouse then looked over at Antonio. "Whatcha going on about Princess Antonia".
The senior detective then stopped and shot him a pointed look. "Where did you hear that?"
He then looked to Kevin. "I can't forget Princess Keevah".
"Dude where did you hear that?" Kevin asked his voice raising a bit.
Finally, he looked at Adam. "And who could forget Princess Addison".
"Ok man seriously what the hell are you watching?" Adam asked.
Since Adam was the closest he went over to the tech and was completely horrified, everyone looked at him worried.
"Adam what is it". Kevin says to his partner.
"He's watching us". Adam answered horrified.
"Of course he's watching us look where he is". Jay said.
"That's not what I meant".
Everyone got up and looked on the tech's computer and they were all horrified, how in the hell did he get that recorded without them knowing?
"Mouse, how the hell was that recorded?" Antonio asked.
"I helped Voight install security cameras in his house as precautions. By the way, you guys are very good singers it took you nearly 30 minutes to finally get that song right". Mouse answered.
Jay raised an eyebrow to his friend. "And how long did it take you to get it right?"
"Twice actually, not bad of a song. Made me want to actually build a snowman, now Let It Go. What a song".
Everyone then raised their eyebrows at the tech as he looked at them innocently.
"What?"
"How do you know that song?" Adam asked.
"Well, when Dani's here and you guys aren't she watches it. I really couldn't say no when she was doing that pouty face". The tech then looked to Jay. "Thanks for that by the way".
"How was I suppose to know she was gonna use it on everyone?" Jay defended himself.
"By the way those colors you guys wore definitely suited all of you".
"Mouse you should really delete all of that". Adam spoke.
The tech rubbed his cheek. "What's it in for me?"
"We'll all take turns babysitting Dani for a month".
"Woah Ruzek, what the hell man". Antonio looked at his friend.
"What are you doing?" Kevin asked.
"I don't know Adam". Mouse says.
"Babysitting for 3 months". Adam tried.
"Would you shut it". Jay says.
"I'm still not sure". Mouse spoke.
"How about this, babysitting for 6 months, drinks are on me for 3 weeks".
"Adam!" The guys yelled.
"Deal". Mouse agreed.
The tech then deleted the footage and smirked as he pulled out pictures of the guys all dressed up. "Now what do you want for the pictures".
"Pictures? What pictures?" Kevin asked.
"These pictures".
Mouse handed them the pictures over to the detectives, they were now completely horrified. That had to make sure nobody will ever see these cause if it got out none of them would hear the end of it.
"Hey Mouse, buddy. If these don't disappear you will so I suggest you make these pictures and everything else go away". Jay told his friend quietly.
"I will get right on that". Mouse quickly.
While Mouse was getting rid of every picture, video, all of it, everyone then turned to look at Adam who began slowly backing away.
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Adam asked nervously.
"We ain't taking turns babysitting". Kevin told his friend.
"What? Why?"
"Because you're doing all by yourself for the 6 months you promised, we didn't get a say so you're on babysitting duty for that time. Not us". Antonio tells him.
"But what about all my plans?"
"That sounds like a, you problem, not a us problem". Jay replies.
"Fine. Just as long as it's not for Saturday, Kim and I have a date night and I wanna make sure it's perfect".
"Better take that up with Voight".
A short time later Hank arrived with Alvin following him, as usual, the team was goofing off and stopped when they saw their boss arrive with Olinsky.
"Sarge we got something to tell you". Antonio started with a laugh.
Adam begged him not to say a thing but his pleas were ignored.
"What is it". Hank answers.
"You have a babysitter for the next 6 months". Jay tells him with a chuckle.
"And who might that be?"
"Ruzek. He said he's happy to do it, Sarge". Kevin tells his boss.
"You guys suck". Adam tells the others.
Hank then looked over at his detective. "I could use you Saturday night".
"Not this Saturday you mean". Adam hoped he was wrong.
"Yeah, this Saturday night".
"Well, I sorta had a date night".
"Should have thought of that before you agreed to babysit for 6 months".
"Boss it's just one night it's all I ask".
"I'm sure you're date could come over to my house and you two can watch Dani together and do nothing where my daughter and I sleep and live".
"Yes, sir".
"Saturday, 7".
"I'll be there".
Hank went to his office and closed his door. The day went by pretty quick, soon Dani was getting out of school. Adam volunteered to pick her up he headed out and he saw Sean and Kim about to head out, he quickly called his girlfriend back.
"What's up, Sean and I gotta go on patrol". Kim says quickly.
"You're gonna kill me". Adam replies nervously.
"You can't make it Saturday?"
"I ended up agreeing to babysit for 6 months and Voight needs me Saturday, he said my date could come over to help me".
"We could take Dani out if it's ok with Voight clearly".
"I really hoped it would just us".
"Adam I don't mind at all, I love spending time with Dani".
"Burgess we gotta go!" Sean called to his partner.
"We'll discuss this later, I gotta go". Kim tells him.
"Be safe out there". Adam replies.
"You too".
They quickly kiss, Adam had to get out of babysitting Saturday. He then turned to look at Trudy and smiled going over to her.
"Sergeant Platt, you look lovely today". Adam tells her.
"What do you want Ruzek". Platt said cutting to the chase.
"I have a date Saturday and I-" He was cut off by Platt.
"No. I overheard your conversation, you agreed to babysit for Hank and so you're going to do it".
"Sarge please".
"Not happening Ruzek".
Adam groaned, what had he gotten himself into?
