Bad Memories?

Sergeant Platt wasn't on the front desk as Teresa and Kim almost ran to go up into the bullpen to join the others. They had agreed to work out together that morning but cut it short, not wanting to miss a single second of the interview Intelligence was going to watch.

Kim was more excited than Teresa, getting some snacks ready as soon as they got to the bullpen.

Jay was on his chair, leaning backwards, as Teresa was sitting on the window frame next to Kevin.

"Has she ever done an interview before?"

"Not like this," Kevin starts. "But there was once a reporter that spent the day at the district, watching Platt's every move to write down a story about her. The catch was, Platt didn't tell anybody who the man was and she kept on being way too nice, not even to Voight is Platt that nice. Then, she convinced Burgess that someone had filed a complaint against her and the man was there to you know, see if how she was and potentially fire her."

"Burgess obviously believed it," Jay says. "Had some really nice things to say about Sergeant Platt."

"And the guy quoted her on the article he wrote and Platt was portrayed as the nicest officer in Chicago."

"You're joking," Teresa chuckles amused. "No wonder Kim is dying to see this interview."

"That's not privacy. That's hiding," Antonio argues as he comes up the stairs with his daughter Eva.

Teresa stared as Eva argues back with Antonio, who goes to his desk, takes out some files and drops them on his table.

"Platt's on in two. Everyone! Adam!" Kim calls out as she shows up with three bowls of snacks for them. "Antonio, come on."

"We're not staying." Antonio announces. "I'm gonna do the paperwork at home."

Kim starts distributing the snacks and Teresa takes the popcorn.

"Hey, Eva. What's up, kid?" Adam asks as he gets to the bullpen and sees Eva is there.

"My father's a fascist." Eva replies.

"Okay, I don't know what to do with that."

"Okay, everybody be quiet. Platt's on TV." Kevin says.

Everyone turns to the TV, Teresa staying on the window frame with Kevin at one side and Jay, sitting on his chair and with his feet on the table on the other.

The announcer starts saying that they were introducing the new friendly face of Chicago PD, whilst Platt looked like a deer caught in the headlights, with wide eyes and a confused look.

"What friendly face is that?" Adam asks from Kim's side.

"She couldn't possibly hate this any more." Jay says with an amused smile.

Teresa chuckles as she shares the popcorn with Kevin.

"It's my pleasure. I'm hap... I'm happy to be here." Platt stutters.

"Oh, this is like Christmas." Kim says with an amazed look on her face.

Behind them Antonio and his daughter continued to argue. Everyone stayed focus on the TV but Teresa, who looked at Antonio when he shouted.

"Eva, stop! You put your whole life on that thing. I don't need you to explain. I can see exactly what you're doing and who you are. And you know what? I don't like who you've become very much."

Antonio starts walking again towards the stairs and Teresa turns her attention back to the TV and Platt's interview.

"In the neighborhoods that they serve." Platt says slightly more comfortable. "Combating crime problems together along with..."
