I sit in front of Voight, panic consuming me as I take note of Voights body language, his squared off shoulders, clenched Jaw. His anger radiates through the room.

"Driving under the influence, theft, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, possession, assault with intent, grand theft auto, hijacking, aggregated battery, destruction of property, Aiding and Abetting a fugitive.... Should I continue?" Voight reads out a list of things that should be on my rap sheet. My heart pounds and I have to swallow the bile rising in my throat.

"My records clear now." I challenge, I've turned my life around and half of those things had been done with reason.

"I don't care! You have been in my unit for five years! You know I can't work with people I don't trust." Voights voice booms, anger unleashed upon me. I knew this was inevitable. Voights one of the most intimidating men I've ever met, and that says a lot.

"All due respect Sarge, when have you ever not been able to trust me to do my job? How many cases have i helped solve? How many times have I saved people's asses? Jays? Antonio's? Yours? Fire me, whatever. Just let me close this case first." I scoff anger lacing my voice. Voight stays silent for a moment, deciding what to do.

"After this case. We'll figure out what to do with you."

I make my way down to the garage, intelligence along with my family there waiting. Hobbs and Voight off to one side having what seems like a very heated conversation. I walk toward the rest of intelligence ready to fit my wires into my outfit, as I do antonio gives me a look as if to ask if I'm okay.

I nod reaching for the mini camera, Jays eyes linger on me as I ignore the conversations going on around me.

"Ash." The voice of one of my friends, Kevin pulls me from my thoughts. Looking up i nod acknowledging him. He nods to the left gesturing for me to follow him.

"What's up?" I ask as we head to the side, to talk in private. I internally pray he doesn't ask me about what happened with Voight.

"I'm going to take the detectives exam, I wanted to ask... if you have any time after this case, if you could help me study for it." He asks and I can't hold back my smile. I hug him proudly, seeing people follow their dreams makes me so happy.

"Of course Kev!" I smile, but that smile disappears as soon as i remember I might not be here, I might not have a job then.

I sigh patting Kevs shoulder before walking back over into the main stretch of the garage, meeting Brian in the middle he smiles and asks, "you ready?"

I nod, as we both make our way outside to my Nissan. Heading out, I get in the drivers side, i turn the key in the engine once Brian's seat belt is done up.

***

Parking outside the bar, Brian and I make our way in. His arm secured around my waist to again play off the fact we're a couple, or supposed to be.

"Kelsey it's good to see you again." Lopez smiles, as Brian and I join him at the table.

"You got a job for me or what?" I smirk eagerly.

"Excited are we? I do actually have a job for you both. I've heard good things about you Kelsey, so I expect this to be done right." I nod listening to Lopez.

"We don't disappoint" i smile pressing a kiss to Brian's cheek making sure Lopez knows we're both in.

"We prided ourselves on being the best in LA, I've been looking for game for a while." Brown shrugs as Lopez listens intently

"Only a few stints in Juvie." Lopez examines Brian, "good at not getting caught I assume."

"I guess so." Brian smirks.
