Beyond the Badges
The ongoing series based on "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective." Co-Authored by @creativeimagination206 and @andgry4, with included drawings by @andgry4.
If you haven't read "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective," now is the time to jump into this series from the beginning - Follow Hank, Trudy, Al and their misadventures from their academy and beat days. Then, see how their lives intertwine with that of Katelyn Meyers, leading up to the story that started it all, as well as the fate of these characters after that story ends. :)
Find the full AO3 synopsis and link below the cut:
The universe around the story that started it all - "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective."
This universe will dive into headcanon of the "three shits" [Trudy Platt, Henry Voight, Alvin Olinsky] and their early (mis)adventures together. Their past intertwines closely with that of the original "crackhead detective," Katelyn Meyers.
Katelyn herself has her own story to tell - how she came to be the "crackhead detective" and why it's so important to her that she sticks with Trudy, Hank and Al, even after the "torture" is over. She is found in all sorts of situations, both before and after the original story. She falls in love with Adam Ruzek and the two create a life together, despite hardships that are thrown their way.
This story is a comprehensive timeline of the lives of these characters, but not only that, it is a story of hope, that your life can be something more than what is written in the stars. Your life isn't defined by the cards you're dealt - it's how you play those cards that matters the most.

'Am I interrupting something?'
A/N: I used my OC here instead of reader due to her age. In her world, I doubt a few of these guys would have been around when she was this young, but for the sake of this little fic, they are!
Tumblr media
“Am I interrupting something?”
As Battalion Chief of Firehouse 51, Wallace Boden had been and would continue to be witness to many unconventional happenings. Though most of these occurred outside of the Firehouse, typically on jobs in less typical places, he of course had to make room for such antics in the building that a large number of men and women lived in for twenty-four hours at a time.
This, however, was something he had not prepared for. Crossing his arms over his chest, he dipped his head dangerously low. “Why,” he began slowly, “are three of my men in a single shower...” He glanced down. “With a toddler?”
Said three men, in nothing but white vest tops and shorts, visibly grimaced at such a statement.
“Context, Chief, please,” Hermann said.
Boden’s expression turned icy. “That’s what I’m asking for.”
“In! In!”
All heads turned down at the little chipper voice. Beatrice Casey stood squeezed between the men in the single shower cubicle, her sopping wet, soapy hair stuck in odd angles. She was grinning widely, despite the water raining down on her face, and her hands were making little grabby motions towards the chief, who valiantly stood his ground.
Sighing, Otis squeezed baby soap into his hand from a bottle. “You’ve gotta get in, Chief.”
Boden’s brows had never risen higher in such a short amount of time. “Excuse me?”
Cruz shrugged. “She says you’ve gotta get in. It’s your own fault for letting her see you.”
Herman rolled his eyes and nudged Cruz with a sharp elbow. Ignoring Cruz’s protest, he turned an imploring look on Boden. “She’ll cry, Chief,” he attempted to explain. “You don’t want that.”
To be quite frank, Boden would rather any other unconventional happening than this...whatever it was. Uncrossing his arms, he brought his hands to either side of his face and took his time peering at each man. Otis had bent down and was scrubbing at a dark mark on the front of Bea’s top. Hermann and Cruz thankfully had the good grace to look ashamed at having been caught in this situation. Which, annoyingly so, Boden still was not understanding.
“What am I missing here?” he asked curtly. If he did not receive an answer in the next thirty seconds, there were no possibilities of evading his raised voice. Of course, he would remove the baby from the room first.
“Casey asked me to wash the chocolate off her,” Otis said, still scrubbing.
“Which somehow translated to ‘give her a shower’ as compared to ‘just take her to the kitchen sink’.” Herman was obviously unimpressed.
“Her clothes were dirty too!” Otis argued. “I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone, so I got her in the shower, and she wanted me to get in with her, so I did.” He shrugged. “Then when Cruz came in, she wanted him to get in, and when he said no, her...” He glanced tentatively up at the others, who seemed to grow even more shameful, if that was at all possible. Though Boden honestly believed anything was possible at this point.
“Her bottom lip started trembling,” Cruz interrupted, subconsciously raising his hands in emphasis, “and her eyes welled up with tears—”
“So you got in,” Boden finished.
“Yeah.” Cruz nodded, offering a forced smile which was clearly not lightly received. “Then Hermann came, and...you get the picture.”
Boden took a minute. He looked at Bea, quite happily stood under the flow of water as Otis rubbed soap into the stain and gently wiped around her chocolatey mouth, and then back to Hermann and Cruz, who both honestly looked as though they’d do anything to just leave.
He extended an arm out towards them, blinking as he pulled the facts together. “So, what you’re telling me...is that the three of you were bested by a toddler?”
There was silence for a moment, before the men nodded in agreement.
“Yes,” Otis said.
Cruz clicked his fingers. “Exactly.”
Hermann winced. “Kids, man,” he said. “They’re like kryptonite.”
“In! In! Chief!” Bea aimed her grabby hands in the Chief’s direction once more, the brightest smile adorning her little face. The men turned discreetly questioning glances towards him, each silently wondering if they’d have to make more room.
Boden had never been lucky to have biological children, but he didn’t count himself inexperienced in the matter. Whether through the compassion of the job, or the leadership he had over people he may as well consider his own, he could handle a three-year-old. More specifically, he could handle Beatrice Casey.
Grabbing up a towel, he stepped towards the shower and knelt just outside. “Ahh,” he said as he opened the towel and wrapped Bea up in it. “You, little Casey, are finished for today.” At the tell-tale wobble of her lips and the sudden glazing of her blue eyes, he stood to his feet and tutted. “Now, I’ll have no tears. None at all.” He picked up some extra towels and threw them in his men’s direction.
“Get going,” he ordered. His voice was firm yet swirling with a common hint of amusement at the situation now that it had all settled down, and once they’d left his sight and he sat down on a bench with Bea, he allowed himself a small smile.
Children.

So as mentioned in my previous post about this bingo, my birthday is next month. And for that occasion I wanted to host another bingo! Like my last bingo in October 2021, this one will have moodboards to the squares. You don’t have to use them, but they’re there for inspiration, and can also be used in your fics as a “cover” if you’d like 🥰 I’m gonna have the moodboards up before the bingo starts on Monday 17th of January 😅

3. You can write a head canon, ficlet, multi-chapter (one moodboard/square per fic) or a one shot. But please, if it’s longer than 500 words, put it under read more.
4. The fics can be fluff, smut, angst, etc if you feel like they would fit with the aesthetic of the moodboard you write for. Please remember to tag the fics with the right warnings before posting it.

♔ MY NAVIGATION ♔
Tumblr media
0.5 TYPES OF REQUESTS I WRITE:
One-shots (1k words or more)
Drabbles  (below 1k words)
Headcanons (bullet point fics)
Blurbs (below 500 words)
Imagines (gif + a little blurb, around 500 words)
1.0 RULES:
Request via ask.
Always include what type of request you want me to write.
Specify because specification is very important as it helps me make your request as pleasing as possible, but try not to be too specific as I like the element of surprise.
If you want me to write something from my prompt list (click here): include the name of said character, category of the prompt and the prompt’s respective number (e.g. Jay Halstead, fluff 7). 
1.1 Note: If you don't include what type of request it is that you want me to cook up, I will choose the type myself so don't come at me if you wanted a 2K worded piece of work and instead got an imagine with 200 words!
1.2 Note: Mixing the prompt with a plot line of your own is allowed, just make sure to follow the rules (1-3). 
1.5 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
Unless asked for, I will be writing with the Female!reader in mind (I like to exclude any gender relation and make it so that both genders could read and enjoy).
I respond to asks when the request has been qued to post and released on Ao3.
The maximum number of request you can send is 2. I know there is an option to send them in anonymously, but I really hope you will stick to this rule. Give others a chance to submit their wishes, and don’t make the line too big with by mass requesting (I close requests after I get around 30 requests).
Requests sent during seasons I have not watched or for characters that have yet to make an appearance in the show will not be written (exceptions exist).
I write one-shots but not a whole series unless I can see/want a continuation.
Themed requests (Christmas, Valentine's Day, New Year etc.) can be only sent during that time. I don’t accept Christmas requests during the month of May. The same goes for the rest.
I have every right to delete every request that does not fit within the rules stated above, or I feel uncomfortable writing. Also, it’s important to note that I don’t have inspiration to write every request that’s sent. It’s normal to not have inspiration, and because I prefer quality to quantity, if I see that I don’t have inspiration for a request then I will not write it.
Requests will be deleted if sent while my request box is closed. I won’t answer them as I feel like there is no need. On almost every informative post (+my bio, and if you’re on PC my theme under ‘blog status’) it will say whether the request box is closed or not.
English is not my first language but without digging myself my own grave this early on I want to say that I'm proud of how much I know, given that I never speak English unless in school.
Be nice because only constructive criticism is allowed. If you spot a grammatical error or a paragraph/sentence/word etc. that doesn't make sense, let me know. But be nice!
2.0 THINGS I DON’T WRITE:
LGBTQ+  topics/relationships (because I feel like I wouldn’t do a good job) 
Real people, send only requests for characters in my writing list
Ships or OC, send only reader inserts
NSFW (mature content stories)
Noncon
Dark!fics
Romanticized mental illnesses
S*icide scenes
R*pe scenes
Racism/slurs
2.1 Note: P*dophilia, r*pe, s*icide might be mentioned in my Chicago P.D, Fire, Med shots (or other), but I will never explicitly write about those subjects or write about anything that is about/centered around them.
2.2 Note: Explicitly written smut is a no, I will not write that. Try to refrain from requesting steamy scenes too, as I will only put them in myself were I to deem it necessary for the WIP.
2.5 THINGS I DO WRITE:
Angst
Fluff/ WAFF
Fusion/ Crossover
Daughter/Wife/Sister!Reader
Here is me trying to explain what kind of requests I also take [x]
2.6 Note: It’s hard to list but to make it easier for you guys, I will write about almost anything as long as it’s not on my 2.0 bullet.
3.0 POSTING SCHEDULE:
Posts are usually posted between 01:00 A.M. and 05:00 A.M. CET (Central European Time).
Check schedule to see what's been qued to post.
3.1 Note: This account is NOT my work place. Everything here is written when I have time and I feel like writing. Requests that I find more interesting will most likely be written and qued to post sooner. I advise you to follow my blog, check regularly and sit tight until you see that it's qued. You can always check my navigation page and click on 'schedule'. Or simply click here.
3.2 Note: I am not a doctor nor a firefighter nor a policeman. I research whatever I can before I start writing and sometimes that takes hours. Nothing is 100% accurate (especially for events set in Chicago Med) although I hope it is.
3.5 WRITING LIST:
3.6 Note: Requests are currently OPEN for all fandoms!!!
3.7 Note: Your requests do not have to be strictly romantic (Sibling!Reader or other are also (obviously) allowed).
---More shows and characters will be added through time

I’m loving all these Brian Zvonecek imagines !!!!
[ TOUCH ] : our muses touching one another discreetly but intimately in a public setting. This is from the List of prompts ~ under smut/nsfw ~ under sexual tension
Brian Zvonecek x fem reader ❤️❤️
Tumblr media
“I owe you a kiss.” Brian murmured, his hands coming to rest on your waist as he backed you up against the fire engine. “I missed you this morning.”  
“Apparently so.” You whispered against his lips, your fingers threading through his dark curls. “I missed you too.”
“If I recall I owe you more than just a kiss.” He smiled, his thumb tracing over the apple of your cheek as his hips pressed against yours. He was hard already, you moaned into his mouth as he ground against your moist core. “I was thinking I could return the favour since you were so generous last night.”
“Here in the firehouse?” You questioned, your cheeks flushing pink. He nodded, that filthy smile breaking out across his handsome features before he clasped your hand. Your fingers entwined with his as he led you to the Turn Out Room.
“You have to promise to be quiet.

Chasing Fires Masterlist
Rixton was still seated at the bar where Brian had left him when he returned. He was perched on one of the stools nursing a beer, the expression on his face forlorn. It was the same expression he had been wearing when Brian heard the employees only door slam open and turned to see Kenny sitting at the table and Kat’s seat empty. After his talk with Kat out back, Brian had put her in a cab home, paying the driver extra to make sure she got in. She was overwrought and emotionally wrung out. This case, Antonio and now Rixton, it was all too much. He knew she hadn’t been sleeping properly, she didn’t when cases like this bothered her, and a small boy  had been destroyed because of a case of mistaken identity. He knew the triggers, experienced them himself, she was overwhelmed. Too much, too soon he thought. 
“Rixton”
“Otis.”
Rixton continued to drink in silence as Brian picked up one of the glasses fresh from the dishwasher and began to dry it with a fresh cloth. Rixton’s mouth opened  as if trying to frame a word before he closed it again. Brian set the glass down before slinging the cloth over his shoulder and sighing.
“Just ask.”
“How’s she doing?” Rixton murmured, his thumb ghosting over the label of his beer bottle.
Brian shook his head, his lips pursed together grimly. He couldn’t bring himself to speak for a moment because he was so angry at this man for being here, for upending Kat’s life once again. He placed his palms on the bar before answering. 
“I sent her home, she needs rest. She needs time to recuperate. All of this, the case, you, it was too much.”
“I didn’t mean…”
“It doesn’t matter what you meant,” Brian snapped, making a slashing motion with his hand as he cut Rixton off. “It matters what you did, trying to rehash the past when it was you that gave up on her.”
“Gave up on her?” Rixton snarled. “She left me.”
“And why was that?” Brian pushed, leaning over the bar. “Did you ever stop to question what was going on in her head? Did you ever consider there was a reason she was like that? Did you try to help or were you so fixated on fucking her that it didn’t matter because it kept her in your bed.”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about. I was in love with her,” Rixton erupted, jabbing his finger at Brian’s chest. “I gave her everything I could, but it still wasn’t enough. You can’t fix something that’s broken like that.”
Those words hung in the air, a bitter taste filling Brian’s mouth as he stared at the other man intently.
“Kat isn’t something to fix.” Brian said quietly. “She’s a person who went through something terrible, who was so traumatised by it the only way to survive was to cut herself off, make herself numb because that pain was too much for her to fathom.”
“Do you know how that feels to be in love with someone and then discover you were just something to help them process their grief,” Rixton asked him. “Can you imagine how that feels?”
“No,” Brian said, shaking his head. “But I can understand why you’d want to hurt her. Why you’d use that grief against her.” 
“You think too highly of her,” Rixton retaliated. “She doesn’t deserve it. She’s going to break your heart the same way she did mine.”
“And that is my choice,” Brian informed the other man. “The same way that it’s your choice to stay rooted in the past and torture both yourself and her or be a grown up and move on. She’s a different person now and so are you.” 
“You act like it’s easy,” Rixton said, taking a sip from his beer. “To forgive, to forget.”
“It’s not,” Brian told him. “But the two of you need to find a way to work together, put all this shit behind you. Is that something you think you can do?”
“It doesn’t look like I have a choice,” Rixton said, placing his empty beer bottle down on the bar. “I can’t go back to Gangs.”
“She can’t go anywhere else,” Brian informed him.
“She’s damaged goods,” Rixton said knowingly. “Nobody will take on a rat.”
Brian shot him a dark look. It took everything in him, not to lash out and beat the living hell out of the man seated across from him. It wouldn’t help Kat in the long run, but it might make him feel better for a moment or two. 
“You’re an asshole, you know that?” 
“Yeah,” Rixton said before raising to his feet and tugging his leather jacket over his shoulders.  “So I’ve been told.”

This is prolly the one thing that has kept me going when everything else feels really hard and dark, helping with many of the ideas here and drawing some of the scenes of it, it's been so much fun, really sad at times (like literally the way I love this story and all the angst/hurt on it makes me wonder why I like suffering so much lmao) but over all a great experiece.
Beyond the Badges
The ongoing series based on "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective." Co-Authored by @creativeimagination206 and @andgry4, with included drawings by @andgry4.
If you haven't read "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective," now is the time to jump into this series from the beginning - Follow Hank, Trudy, Al and their misadventures from their academy and beat days. Then, see how their lives intertwine with that of Katelyn Meyers, leading up to the story that started it all, as well as the fate of these characters after that story ends. :)
Find the full AO3 synopsis and link below the cut:
The universe around the story that started it all - "Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective."
This universe will dive into headcanon of the "three shits" [Trudy Platt, Henry Voight, Alvin Olinsky] and their early (mis)adventures together. Their past intertwines closely with that of the original "crackhead detective," Katelyn Meyers.
Katelyn herself has her own story to tell - how she came to be the "crackhead detective" and why it's so important to her that she sticks with Trudy, Hank and Al, even after the "torture" is over. She is found in all sorts of situations, both before and after the original story. She falls in love with Adam Ruzek and the two create a life together, despite hardships that are thrown their way.
This story is a comprehensive timeline of the lives of these characters, but not only that, it is a story of hope, that your life can be something more than what is written in the stars. Your life isn't defined by the cards you're dealt - it's how you play those cards that matters the most.

Kat was pacing by the front desk by the time Brian arrived at the precinct, his hands tucked inside of his jacket as he stamped his feet against the cold. His eyes fixated on her, his heart thudding against his ribcage when he took in the expression on her face. Her features were pinched, taut, her shoulders tense and her back straight. 
“Hey, are you ok?” Brian asked her, his gloved hands coming to rest upon her shoulders as his gaze swept over her body ensuring she was intact. 
Kat tilted her head towards the empty office on her left, before taking his hand and guiding him towards it. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back against the table before she closed the door behind them and drew the blinds. 
“Kat, what’s going on? Are you…”
The ferocity of the hug overwhelmed him. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she buried her face into his chest. She clung to him tightly, clutching onto him as if he was her last lifeline. He held her close, cradling her against his body, his lips brushing over her hairline.
“What’s going on мое солнышко?” He murmured. “I know you didn’t call me down here just for a hug.”
“This case…” she mumbled into his chest. “It’s horrible and I can’t leave the precinct and I wanted to talk to you.”
“Kat, you’re rambling,” Brian said, drawing away slightly so that he could look into her eyes.
“Kenny’s back,”  She told him. “As in working here, with me, in Intelligence.”
That name, it took him a second to place it.
“Rixton,” he said, his dark eyebrows furrowing into a frown. “The guy from the Gang Unit, the guy…”
…that you were fucking.
The words hung unsaid in the air between them. 
Kat looked away; he could see the line of her jaw clenching. She was withdrawing back into herself, trying to erect those barriers and put some distance between the two of them. 
“He’s taking Adam’s spot in the unit.”
It was permanent then. There were a wealth of emotions inside of him, he couldn’t even begin to work through. He exhaled deeply, shoving them all to the back into that box where he hid all the stuff he needed to process because right now she didn’t need his jealousy, his insecurities. She needed his support, because as weird as it was for him, it had to be worse for her. 
“Kat I’m not…” He paused, selecting his words carefully. “…is this something I need to worry about?” 
He couldn’t figure out where her head was at, and she seemed to be having trouble articulating. Usually, they were so open but now it seemed she was struggling…
“God no. It’s over, it’s done,” she said resolutely, before patting his chest gently with one hand. “I’m not… I don’t know how this works…” She gestured between the two of them. “I don’t want to keep secrets from you, I want to be honest with you, but I don’t want to screw things up.”
“Ok…” Brian said, running a hand through his dark, wavy hair.
He felt the pressure leave his chest. He was on solid ground now that he knew where her head was at, what she needed from him.
“Look, am I happy your ex is on the scene?” He shrugged his shoulders. “Not really but I trust you. I’m glad you told me, that you wanted to. But, Kat, I don’t want to stifle you. I’m not here to tell you how to run your life, to put restrictions on you. I just want you to be happy.” Brian tilted his head from side to side for a minute. “That said, if he makes a move then there will be a problem.”
Kat left out a breath that she had been holding, he watched her chest deflate as the stress seemed to evaporate from her shoulders. He hadn’t realized how much his words meant to her, how much she needed to hear them.
“Thank you.”
His hand cupped her face, his thumb trailing over the apple of her cheek. She leaned into his touch, her lips brushing over his pulse point. 
“You don’t have to thank me. You’re new to this and I am too,”  he said quietly, his forehead coming to rest upon hers. “The two of us, we’re gonna be fine.”
“Yeah,” she whispered against his lips. “I know we are.”

It was a rare quiet moment in Molly’s this evening and Kat was seated on a barstool across from Brian, her hands clasping his gently. She needed this right now, this thrum of connection, it seemed like it was the only way to keep her feet firmly on the ground. She would be lying if she said this case hadn’t shaken her, she knew that Noah Johnson’s face would haunt her dreams. How anyone could do that to a six-year-old was beyond her. She couldn’t shake the malice in Jordan’s voice when he talked about it. The fact he had coerced his twelve-year-old brother into pulling the trigger sickened her. 
Brian seemed to sense her mood, his thumb chased over the tattoo on her wrist, lightly tracing the pattern. He knew it soothed her, the sensation of his touch. Vulnerability didn’t come naturally to Kat, sometimes she couldn’t bring herself to ask for the things he needed. 
“How’s Antonio doing?” He asked quietly. 
Kat shook her head in response to his question. They’d talked about it earlier, how worried she had been about this case being the thing that tipped him over the edge. She’d seen it before, the restlessness, the hyperfocus, the relentlessness. She had thought he’d be able to pull it back in time. 
“Not great,” she told him before peering up at him through the loose strands of her ponytail. “He’s gonna be taking a break for a while. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him like this. The last time… it was when Maggie left Vice and the whole thing tore him apart. He stopped taking care of himself, started taking risks…”
“And then he got shot.” Brian remembered. 
“Yeah,” she said, tapping her collarbone. “He took two to the chest. I wasn’t around when all the other shit went down with Cooper. I know it was brutal and it took him a long time to recover. I worry that this case triggered him again, that he’s falling back into that darkness.”
“I think he’s made the right decision,” Brian told her, his gaze lowering the underside of her wrist. “Once you’ve experienced something like that, it becomes easier to recognise and this is his way of taking a step back from the precipice. We both know how insidious it can be, he’s doing a brave thing admitting there’s a problem and taking the time away to deal with it. Our jobs are loaded with pitfalls, it’s like a minefield, you make the wrong move, and it all goes to hell. It’s a lot of responsibility to put on someone’s shoulders. Sometimes I think we’re crazy, doing the type of work we do. Running into fires, getting shot at, there’s got to be a screw loose somewhere.” 
Kat smiled before pressing a kiss to the back of his hand.
“There’s worse people to be crazy with.”
“Yeah, I guess there is,” he said before leaning on the bar so that their faces were close together. “What about you? How are you doing?”
Kat tried to pick through her thoughts, they were a jumble of emotions, images and anxiety. She found it hard to untangle them, to grasp one thread and hold onto it. 
“I’m a mess,” she said honestly. “There’s a lot going on in there. I can’t… I can’t sort it out yet.”
“Ok,” Brian said quietly. “What can I do to help?” 
“You could have the really awkward conversation I’m about to have with my ex for me.” 
“I’m sorry мое солнышко, I’m afraid that’s a conversation you’ll have to have yourself.” He said tenderly. 
“Fine,” Kat muttered as he placed a kiss upon her forehead. 
“I’ll be right here if you need me.”
-----------------
It was awkward, just like Kat had expected it to be. The two of them sat in the corner at a table, each with a beer bottle clasped in their hands. 
“So, your boyfriend’s the bartender,” Kenny began, jerking his head in the direction of the bar. 
“Brian,” Kat reiterated, her eyes falling on the man in question. He was talking to Cruz at the opposite end as he dried one of the glasses with a white dish towel. His face was animated, a smile breaking across his handsome features as he nodded vigorously. It made something warm blossom inside of her chest.  
“Does he know?” Kenny asked her, gesturing between the two of them.
Kat turned her attention back to the man in front of her, her thumb chasing a bead of condensation. 
“I don’t have any secrets from him,” she said curtly.
“He treat you good?” Kenny queried, his eyes on her face. 
“We didn’t come here to talk about me and Brian,” she reminded him.
“Fair enough,” Kenny said, bobbing his head as he peeled part of the label off of his beer bottle and left the scrap in a curl upon the surface of the table. “Look I’m not here to relive the past, I don’t want to get back together or anything like that. As far as I’m concerned that’s over and done with.” 
He used a chopping motion to draw a metaphorical line in the sand. Kat couldn’t help but feel relieved. Despite the fact the two of them had a history, she liked Kenny as a person, she thought he would have made a good friend. He had worked this investigation as doggedly as the rest of them, she could see why Voight had thought he’d fit with the rest of the team. 
“The truth is I’m in a jam and Voight helped me out or he’s helping me out.” Kenny informed her, his fingers tugging at the label again. 
“What kind of jam?” Kat asked, taking a swig of her beer.
Kenny sighed. 
“IAB approached me a few months ago because they believed that some of the guys from my unit were involved in a beat down on a banger who targeted one of their sisters.” He paused before meeting Kat’s eyes. “They wanted me to rat.”
Kat flinched at the word. It was strange after all of these years that it still had that effect on her, she felt it like a brand piercing her soul and shifted in her seat to hide her discomfort. 
“That’s why I was calling,” Kenny continued. “I wanted to get your take.”
“What did you decide?” Kat asked with a sour taste in her mouth, she tried to wash it down with beer, but it stuck to her tongue like glue. She knew what Kenny wasn’t saying, how he danced around the topic, because he had thought the same thing of her once upon a time. Possibly still did. 
“I couldn’t bring myself to do it,” He told her, rolling the small paper pile into a ball between his fingertips. “It doesn’t matter anyway; indictments are coming down.”
Kat’s jaw clenched, at his choice of wording.
“You must have some choice opinions on me.” She remarked, wanting this whole situation to be over. She wanted to go home and crawl under the sheets with Brian, to be held, to feel loved and cared for by a man who didn’t judge her for her decisions. 
“I’m not gonna lie Kat.” Kenny told her with a shrug.  “I hated you. I hated that you couldn’t commit, hated that you wouldn’t even though I felt the two of us had something special.” Kat sagged back in her seat, her hands wrapped around her beer bottle. “When Scagnetti got snatched up and you were left out in the middle of that shitstorm. I realized what you were doing…” There was a small smile on his features as he met her gaze. “You cut me off on purpose. You wanted to make sure I didn’t get caught up in it all.”
“You make it sound more noble than it was.” She told him, feeling something shatter inside of her because for a moment she was back in that place, lost and adrift. She felt her chest constrict because on some level Kenny was bringing part of the past back into her present. 
“It was him wasn’t it? He was the one that hurt your friend.” Kenny said, taking a sip from his beer. “I remember you used to dream about her, about the blood in the bathtub, about finding her like that.”
It was too much, today had been too much, Noah Johnson, Antonio and now this. She remembered the blue tinge Eve’s lips, the bloody water, the stench of copper in the air on her tongue. Black spots danced in her vision, she tried to blink them away. Her skin prickled with heat, it was hard to breathe, why couldn’t she fucking breathe?
“Kat?” Kenny’s eyebrows furrowed into a frown as he reached out for her hand, covering it with his own. “Kat?” 
She jerked away as if she’d been burned, tearing her wrist from his grasp before she pushed away from the table and headed through the employees only door. She heard her name, but she couldn’t focus, she dived through the fire exit, the door smacking the outside wall as she pushed through it. The cold air hit her like a freight train dousing her completely with the sensation. She leaned back against the wall, her chest heaving in tiny bursts as she sank down to the floor trying to catch her breath. 
Eve lying dead in the bathtub; Noah Johnson bleeding on the concrete; Antonio’s tortured eyes, lined with unshed tears. 
The anguish of it all. 
The loneliness. 
The isolation.
Those feelings surged through her until she could barely think. She heard the fire door open and turned her head away. She didn’t want him to see her like this, she didn’t want anyone to see her like this. 
“Baby, will you look at me?” Brian asked her quietly. 
She would know his presence anywhere, it spread through her like a pacifying blanket because sometimes a person was simply home and for her that was Brian. She tilted her head towards him and she saw that face, the one that warmed her heart and filled her dreams. She rubbed the back of her hand across her eyes. He took her hand and pressed it to his heart, her fingers splaying out across the fabric of his shirt. The texture was a distraction, a welcome one. She allowed her fingertips to run over it. Their eyes met as he spoke. 
“Breath with me,” he requested. “In for four, count with me. One, two, three, four.”
She followed his instructions. Breathing in for four, then holding for four seconds and then breathing out for six. She completed the cycle countless times. She could feel the adrenaline leaving her system as she began to shake. Brian moved, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, his lips on her hairline.
“What did he do?” Brian asked quietly. 
She shook her head. 
“It’s not him.” she told Brian. “It’s everything he represents; He reminds me of who I was. It takes me back to that place and it’s filled with darkness and I’m not like that now. I feel guilty but not actively. I know I didn’t do anything wrong, that I was as honest as I could be, but I feel it.”
“Kat, how on earth are you going to be able to work with this guy?” 
She met his gaze as she clasped his hand.
“Honestly? I don’t know.”
