Antonio: "When are we gonna spar?"

Jay: "I don't like that look in your eye." he chuckles

Antonio: "Nah, you're doing great...just keep dropping your left every time you throw your right cross, it'll be fun."

Jay: "Is Voight dirty?" he questions after a moment, removing the wraps around his hand

Antonio: "It's not my department."

Jay: "So that's a yes."

Antonio: "I almost went down the tubes when I was in Vice, which was right around the time I stopped judging other cops."

Jay: "I'm not looking for judgment, just a definition. Do I learn from him, or do I keep my distance?"

Antonio: "Both. But if you really wanna know if he's dirty or not, ask her" he motions to where Genevieve and Madeline arrive "You're late."

Genevieve:" Blame her. She's the one with the old timey car." she gives a pointed look to Madeline who sighs

Antonio: "Why not just get a new car?"

Madeline: "Because my truck holds a lot of value for me and my family" she says, making Genevieve give her a look, making her sigh "Okay, look, I paid a high price for that thing so believe me I am getting my money's worth out of it."

Genevieve: "There it is." she points

Jay: "You know Jazzercise is, like, a block south." he chuckles, looking at Erin who arrives

Erin: "Yeah, nice muscle tee." she scoffs, rolling her eyes

Jay: "This is perfectly acceptable attire for the boxing gym."

Erin: "No, absolutely, and the bonus is you don't have to change later when you break-dance."

Antonio: "Oh!" he chuckles, motioning towards Justin "Voight's kid."

Genevieve: "Well, look who finally got out of bed."

Justin: "Oh, shut up." he sighs, smacking her hand away as she tickles his ear

Erin: "This is Antonio and Jay. I work with them. Antonio's buddy owns the gym, hence the 30% discount."

Antonio: "20%. Nice try."

Erin: "All right."

Jay: "How you doing?" he greets, holding his hand out towards Justin who just stares at him

Justin: "I gotta make some calls." he nods, patting Genevieve and Erin as he walks out

Genevieve: "You know you're gonna have to be more sociable sometime, right?" she calls after him

Erin: "He's like our little brother" she sighs "Just trying to keep him out of trouble."

Antonio: "Good luck."

Genevieve: "He's not that bad." she assures as Jay nods, giving her a soft look

Jay: "Alright, come on. Let's go." he nudges Genevieve who furrows her brows

Genevieve: "Go where?"

Jay: "The track. I wanna see Speedhorse in action. See if you're all that." he teases with a smirk

Genevieve: "You're actually wanting to get beat. That's a first." she shrugs, making him scoff as the two head off

•••

Jay: "All I'm saying is Justin looks like an uphill battle."

Genevieve: "Give him a break. He hasn't had the best of luck these past few years. Losing a parent isn't easy. Plus he grew up with Voight. That'd make anybody go crazy. Believe me."
