(Tayla's point of view)

I was putting case files away in the filing drawer,and went back to miss Trudy's desk,"anything elze you want me to do before I leave miss Trudy?"
"Your good to go Halstead,see you tomarrow?" She asked not looking up from her paperwork.
Despite her tough shell she does have a soft side,sure it's hard to find but ever since I started working here about three years ago,she took me under her wing. So shes like a mentor to me.
I always wanted to be a detective like my husband,but I'm working on desk work but I dont mind I help out alot with tech work.
I went to go get my keys from the locker that I share with my talented and amazing husband,when i felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist and a kiss on my cheek,"catch him already?" I asked leaning into his hold
"Thanks to you,if it wasnt for you and your tech smarts he would still be at large."
"So you only married me for my brain?" I teased turning to wrap my arms around his neck
"No,I married you because I love you. Your brain is just a added bonus." He replied before leaning over to give me a kiss. I ran my hands through his hair that i know he serectly loves they both do and it turns them both on to mush,"come on baby," he moaned leaning down to kiss my neck,"your not playing fair,you know I cant do anything till we get home." He sighed
"Sorry babe,a few more hours, because I have lots of plans for my boys for when we get home,maybe your guys favorite dinner,and your favorite outfit." I whispered before turning and walking away to hear him let out a frustrated sigh.
"What did you do Taelya Halstead?"  Gabby asked teasingly as she came up to stand me at the bar at Molly's.
"I dont know what your talking about Gabby." I said pretending not to know what shes saying. I was wearing skinny Jean's and a off the shoulder sweater and my two inch heel boots. Knowing that there watching me.
"You know dam well what I'm talking about." She laughed,"please,I havent seen your husband stare at you like this since your wedding day."
"Like you havent teased casey before. They know they cant do anything till we get home."
"I dont know how you do it,having two hot bodies in front of you."
"Practice my dear." I laughed

I pulled up to the store and walked in past mr Thompson, a sweet older gentleman, and went back were the coffee machines were to get the coffees. I was half way done when I heard noises up front,so using my height to my advantage I snuck to the front without being seen. Two males possible early twenties with hoods and masks covering there faces,well st least these assholes were this smart. They were over six foot. I hid behind the isles and I felt for my gun making sure it was in my hostler.
Grey hoodie guy was in charge so he ordered mr Thompson to put the money in the backpack,witch was also stolen thanks to the pricetag still on the bag. The black hoodie guy looked my way when I moved,"looks like we have company." He said trying to sound scary,please I grew up in Detroit were I grew up fighting to stay alive. I was a only child and my mom couldnt afford a safe neighborhood. I got up to his face being just as though, he was surprised a woman could stand up to a robber. In the corner of my eye I saw mr Thompson slowly reach for the slient alarm to call the cops.
Guy #1 was distracted so I grabbed grey hoodie arm twisting it back rendering his immobile and making him drop his gun.
"Now whose a helpless bitch." I said to the guy,"if I were you two I'd put the stolen bag with the money down before the cops come." I threatened to them both.
"What are you gonna do about it bitch?" He said getting in my face
Something just snapped in me,three things I hate getting disrespected for being a female in a mostly male dominated work field, being disrespected period,and disrespecting my team witch there like my family. 
I quickly pulled the small switchblade that was in the top part of my boot and hald it to his neck,"what did you just call me? Say it again and see what happens." I threatened back. I'm from Brooklyn New York so I grew up fighting,"if you and your buddy make any moves this blade will go in your neck. I have no problem going back to prison." I lied making it sound good.
I may be only five four but dont let my height fool ya.
Let's just say if jay and the team didnt come in st that time the guy would be dead.

(Jay's point of view)

"hey tae,look st me.'' I said calmly putting my hands up showing her  I wasnt armed,"let adam and kevin take the guys in." I know her PTSD acts up in random times with the childhood she told me she had," come on taelya put the blade down,there going to go away for a long time." I told her coming closer when she was like this I was the only one she trusted, i know PTSD isnt nothing to play around with it messes with your head,"I promise you there going to be in jail."
I could tell she was thinking of it, she put the blade away but still had a hand around the guy around the jacket holding him in place,but she threw him towards adam and went out the door.
Voight giving me a slient nod as if to say go follow her.

"Jay said you had a espisode at work today."kelly said walking over to us with three bottles,handing one to Jay and the bottle of Sprite to me. Then sitting next to me holding my free hand and giving it a light squeeze,"care to share babe?"
"I dont think it was that bad." I said as I shrugged my shoulders
"Not that bad? Baby,you had your switchblade to the mans neck if I didnt bud in he would've died. This espisode was bad this time." Jay replied calmly not meaning to be rude
"What did you want me to do? The other guy had mr Thompson at gun point." I replied putting my drink down.
"I would've loved to see you being all badass sweetie, But Jay's right,you could've killed the guy but I understand that you were trying to do your job to."

(Jay's point of view)

We were trying to find any evidence on were this drug dealer was and mouse was going though the surveillance cameras on the nearby streets around 5th street were hes known to be.
"Um,mouse?" Tae asked looking over his shoulder,"I've been here for like five seconds and I can already find like alot of clues here."
"No way,we been through these cameras theres no way we missed something." Kevin said looking st her
"Really? Then why didnt you boys see the guy with the green backpack standing by the stop sign on third Avenue there? Hes one of the look outs for D'Aron,or the guy that has his left hand in his pocket obviously hiding a weapon."
The guys look st him in suprise,"how do you know this?" Erin asked shocked
"She has a eye for detail." I replied walking over to her and looking st the screen to our eyes it nothing looks out of place but to Taelya's eyes she has hawk eyes.
"She does have a great eye for detail,give her a case folder and a white board and she would have the case solved if not close to it." I said proudly
"Woah." Adam said
"Why is this a shock to everyone? I'm obsessed with crime things. Why do you think I took this job."
"You do have a good eye." Hailey replied coming up to us
"Let's face it boys,if it wasnt for me you guys would still be on square one." I teased
"Your a keeper though babe." Jay said kissing my cheek
"Well I'm off to visit kelly, I'll see you at home babe." I told him before giving him a kiss and walking out.

I went to go to the little donut and coffee place near 51,to grab kelly a coffee since hes been working a 24hour shift.
I was just down the road,I can see 51 from were i am, when i heard tired squelching and next thing I know I see a car speeding my way and then nothing.
