"How about that dinner with your brothers at South Side?" Will asked in the morning as he walked back into the bedroom.

Teresa, having some breakfast, stood up from her chair and followed him.

"Uh... we have to figure out a date. They've been working really hard lately." She leaned on the door frame as Will put on his shirt.

"Ask them when they can have their next day off and I'll go there."

"Okay. I'll call them later on my way to work," she said before turning away and going back to the kitchen.

"And we need to figure out your car!" Will shouted.

Teresa, who didn't feel like shouting went back to the hallway to look at the bedroom through the open door.

"I really like that SUV we checked a couple of days ago. I do want another test drive, though."

"We'll look at it again, then."

"What about if I get that SUV second-handed? I see a lot of people selling their cars in very good conditions."

"I don't know, Tez... a car in second hand? It can have a lot more problems than we can see at first..."

"Well, if it wasn't first bought that long ago, it might be in good condiction and it's cheaper."

"It's your decision. I wouldnt' buy it, though. If I wanted cheap I'd go with a different car, cheaper all together, than buy an expensive car cheaper because it's been used by someone before."

"I don't know... I'm gonna get some second opinion on it."

"You do that. See if you know someone that has bought a car in second hand before."

On her way to work, Teresa called Tyler to set up a date for the dinner with Will.

"Look, just get him out of the house. Can't you take him to your mother's?"

"Yeah, Teresa, but if he goes into that house, the outcome won't be a good one." Tyler affirmed.

"Okay, well... is there anywhere else we can keep him without having him interrupt our dinner?"

"Hm... jail, I guess?" Tyler mockingly suggested.

"Ha-ha. Great idea."

"It is an idea."

"Okay, well... think about another idea, because that house that day, for everybody's sakes, will only have us, Tom and Will. No one else can know he's even in Chicago."

"What if you talk to him? If you ask him to stay out of the house for a few hours, go get some drinks or something..."

"One, I'm not incentivating a drunk to go have 'some drinks', and two... what makes you think he'll even listen and fulfill any of my requests."

"I don't know... he had three boys but only one daughter. Maybe that'll soften his heart or something."

"What heart, Tyler?" Teresa sighed. "Three sons but he missed his first born's funeral. Not really sure he cares about anything we ask of him, even if I'm his only daughter... Look, ask Tom about a date and when that's settle I'll find a way to keep him out of the house."

"Okay. I'll call you later, then."

"Okay. Bye."

Teresa hang up the call just as she walked the front steps of the district. When she walked in she saw Voight walking to the garage and Ruzek follwoing him so she went to the front-desk.

"Good morning, Sargeant."

"Good day to you, detective." Platt said with a smile.

Teresa, who was about to ask Platt about Voight and Ruzek made a face of suspicion, with furrowed brows and scruntched nose, since Platt never greeted her that way.
