Stranger: Geez, watch where your going!
Jay: I'm so sorry!
Stranger: Yes you a......Jay...Jay Halstead..
Jay: Allie!

Allie: I haven't seen you since you joined the army! How are you?
Jay: I'm great, how are you doing?
Allie: I'm great, just working, working and more working. What have you been up since then?
Jay: Same, just working like crazy.
Allie: What brings you too Orlando?
Jay: Oh, we have a team building trip.
Allie: Team, what do you play?
Jay: Nothing, Im a detective. I work for the Intelligence Unit.
Allie: The elite team, I've heard about your team.
Jay: I hope it's all good things you hear.
Allie: Yea, especially after you all got new leadership. Sergeant Lindsay right?
Jay: Yea, This is her actually!
Erin: I was waiting for you to finally introduce me!
Allie: It's  good to meet you, I am very impressed of how much you've turned everything around.
Erin: Thank you, and that's why we are here this weekend to commend my team on how much good work they have been putting in. So I will excuse myself so you and Detective Halstead Can talk. I need to go find my fiancé he's around here somewhere, with his head shoved up his ass.

Erin walked away, and Allie just laughed. "Boy I would hate to be her fiancé right now!" Jay looked at her and said " i should get going."

Allie: we just started talking, don't leave yet.
Jay: Yea, but I risk pissing my fiancé off!
Allie: Your engaged?
Jay: Yea almost 3 months now.
Allie: So it's still fresh, well I won't keep you waiting. Go find your fiancé, I'll see you around. Maybe we can catch up sometime during your trip?
Jay: Yea sure, I'd like that.

Jay turned around and left to find Erin, but when he found her she was definitely pissed. He pulled a lounge chair next to her, but she moved to another. Jay was starting to catch her drift and it wasn't pretty.

Jay: Babe, can you please stop moving!
Erin: How about you go find Allie maybe she would like to flirt a little more.
Jay: She was not flirting with me!
Erin: She was and you were acting like a 7th grader who just saw boobs for the first time.
Jay: Whatever I saw not!
Erin: Okay, so if you didn't did you tell her you were engaged, how about you have 2 kids and one of them being 3 months old?
Jay: Maybe I got caught in the moment of seeing an old friend.
Erin: Bullshit, you don't think I know that she was your high school sweetheart.
Jay: H...
Erin: Look I'm not trying to pick a fight, but this trip was for me and you to find ourselves.
Jay: Baby, I'm sorry if I made you feel less than, I will screw my head on straight.
Erin: I hope so, we have six more days here and I don't want to have you sleeping on the pull out couch in the room.
Jay: I promise, now let go get wet!
Adam: Ewww guys there's kids.
Jay: Get your head out of the gutter I was talking about swimming.
Adam: Oh...
Kim: Idiot, let's go swimming!

The team enjoyed their time at the Pool, unlimited drinks and a overall great time. They had left the Pool a few hours before it was dinner time to get ready. After dressing up for their first team dinner, they all met in the lobby of the hotel before heading to the dining hall. As the team was walking down to the dining hall they bumped into Allie and her family.

Allie: Fancy running into you again!
Jay: Nice to see you again!
Adam: *cough...cough*
Jay: Right, so this my team Adam, Kim, Mouse, Nadia, Kevin, Nick, Antonio and our boss Erin. 
Nick: *someone's in the dog house tonight*
Allie's mom: That's wonderful Jay, haven't seen you this happy in a while. I hope life is going great.
Allie's Dad: Look how about you all join us at our and we can catch up and give you guys stories about Jay.
Kevin: Sure that would be great, and that will give Jay some memories while sleeping on the sofa tonight.

They all walked down to the dining room, and waited for a table to be extended to support everyone. It was going good until Kim sat on one side of Jay and Allie attempted to sit on the other side. Jay looked at her and told "my fiancé will be sitting there". Allie just looked at jay and said "if she was here, she would already be sitting down". She was about rub over his arm until he had finally realized what Erin talking about, he pulled his arm back and reiterated that his fiancé will be sitting next to him. That's when Erin walked into the room, she could tell from across the room that Jay was looking uncomfortable. Erin walked up to the table......
