Lying in bed, Genevieve blankly stares at the wall as she listens to the soft ticking of a clock. Jumping a little when her alarm goes off she sighs, reaching her hand out to turn it off as she moves to flop on her back

Standing in the bathroom she opens a medicine cabinet, grabbing hold of a cream which she applies to the cut on her side, wincing a little in pain. Shutting the cabinet door shut she looks at herself in the mirror, sighing at the bruises on her face

Heading downstairs she stops in front of the entrance to the living room, flashing back to when Alex chased her into the room. Remembering the feeling of when he bashed her head into the table she turns away from the room, perking up when hearing a horn blow from outside

Madeline: "First day back" she smiles, watching as Genevieve gets in beside her "You ready?"

Genevieve: "Ready as I'll ever be." she shrugs

Standing in the doorway of his office, Voight watches as Jay exits the break room, taking a sip from his coffee cup

Voight: "Hey, how's it going?"

Jay: "Good." he nods, furrowing his brows as he moves
to take a seat at his desk

Voight: "How's the coffee?"

Jay: "It's delicious."

Voight: "Glad to hear it." he hums

Adam: "Hey, Sarge."

Voight: "Yeah."

Adam: "So either Kev, Seph or I have to go to a training course for the new Penlink software, right?"

Voight: "Uh-huh. What's Penlink?" he questions, taking his eyes away from Jay

Kevin: "It's the...uh, we don't know."

Joseph: "Which brings us to our point. We have no idea about any of this tech stuff.

Adam: "And...respectfully, I know things didn't work out with Jin. You got some trust issues with the tech position, but I went to maybe three computer courses at the academy."

Kevin: "I mean, if you need to mic somebody or hook up an XBOX, I think we're your guys."

Adam: "We're just not really cut out for the high-altitude stuff, boss."

Jay: "Don't say another word. I got the perfect guy for that. He did the explosives case with us last year. Mouse, you remember him?"

Voight: "I remember everything, Jay."

Jay: "All right" he hums, awkwardly nodding "Well, then you'll recall that he did a great job for us, and when O gets here, he'll tell you that too."

Olinsky: "I'm here" he calls out, sliding out from behind his desk "Yeah, he was solid."

Jay: "Yeah, plus, he's, like, a total tech whiz, you know, and I would trust him with my life. In fact, I have...many times."

Voight: "Bring him around."

Jay: "All right."

Joseph: "Hey, there she is." he cheers, looking at where Genevieve and Madeline enter the room

Antonio: "Welcome back."

Genevieve: "Uh, thanks. Glad to be back." she nods, pursing her lips in a smile as she moves over to her desk

Voight: "You alright?"

Genevieve: "Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm good." she hums, keeping her eyes on her desk as she rearranges a few things
