Chapter 54- Mouth

Connor leaned over the breakfast bar, checking his phone.

Shooting in Rhodes family apartment leaves neighbours shocked and feeling unsafe.

In today's news: We learn what underwear Connor Rhodes likes on his girlfriends

Did infamous killer and surgeon, Ava Becker, strike again?

Surgeon accused of the murder of Cornelius Rhodes shoots two men.

Connor Rhodes carries pregnant, blood covered mistress out of apartment.

Connor pushes his phone away hastily, not wanting to look at that filth anymore, squeezing the brings of his nose.
"Bad press?" Ava asked, placing a hand on top of his on the table.
"I wish they would just leave you alone, this is exactly what happened with my mother, and look what that did to her" he sighed, taking Ava's fingers in his palm, he brushed his thumb across his knuckles.
Ava took his phone from the table, tapping in the code she had long ago learned. Ava's phone was still in their apartment back home, she hadn't been online in days.
Glancing through the articles Ava chuckled to herself, brushing off their insults.
Running her spoon along the inside of her yogurt tub Ava scooped some into her mouth. "I'm fairly sure you have to be married for me to be your mistress. Is there something you want to tell me Rhodes?" She teased.
Connor sucked in a breath, "I was meaning to introduce you too, but between work and everything I never got the chance" he played along. They both let out a laugh at the articles acting as if they knew everything about their lives.

"Speaking of secret wives, I was finally allowed to send a cleaning team into our apartment and they found this under our bed" Connor put Ava's ring on the counter.
"Oh my god, I completely forgot" Ava jumps up from her seat to join him on his side of the counter. "I slid it under the bed when they left me alone to get my medical bag. I didn't want them stealing it"
"Well since I can get down on one knee now" Connor said, bending his knee.
"Ava Bekker, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife"
"I would love to" Ava smiles, taking the ring on her finger.
Connor stands to pull her into a passionate kiss, "Two proposals, aren't I lucky" she breaths between kisses. Connor moves to kiss her cheeks and her jawline, humming at the sensation, Ava felt the vibrations in her throat. Ava leans back and Connor supports her with his hands, "Speaking of Connor Rhodes's girlfriend's" she whispered into his ear with a coy smile, making him look to face her. "What underwear dose he like them in?"
"Any so long as your in them" he pulled her back to his lips.

Hank joined Jay in the interrogation room with the youngest of their suspects. He drops his file onto the table with a clatter, flicking through it.
"So Jacob Lee, aged 28, born In Auckland, New Zealand. How dose a young boy like you end up holding a pregnant women at gun point in her own home?" Hank asked, receiving no response.
Jay took a deep breath, "What was your intention going into the victims home?"
"Casper my friend, was shot in the leg. We got the name of a mob doctor from a colleague and he gave us that address"
"Now see that's interesting, because very few people knew that was where our victim was living. And we know for dam sure she ain't a mob doctor so I think you better start giving us some useful information" Hank began to shout at the end of his sentence.
Jacob flinched in his chair but remained silent.
"You know your looking at breaking and entry, intimidation, assault, gang affiliation and being a possession of an unregistered fire arm" Hank listed.
Jab on looked down to his lap and muttered something inaudible.
"Speak up" Voight barked at him.
"I want to speak to Minnie" Jacob said clearly.
"Look young man, your not really in a position to be making demands here"
"Wait, Hank, hold up. Who is Minnie, Jacob?" Jay said, sensing a connection.
"Minnie, or whatever she calls herself here" Jacob rolls his eyes, leaning back in his chair.
"You better stop playing with us or I swear to god-" Hank threatened.
"Ava Bekker, I want to speak to Ava Bekker"

As soon as Ava and Connor got the call they went down to the station.
"Jay are you sure about this" Connor asked, keeping a protective head on Ava's waist.
"It's completely safe, were just going to get you to look at him and see if you regonise him. Than Ava can decide if she wants to talk to him"
"What's this guys name anyway" Connor asked Hank.
"Ava probably knows him by the name "Mouth"
Ava nodded her head slightly, remembering the day. "Yeah, he was there that day, in the apartment".
"Are you ready to go Av?"
"Yeah I'm ready, can Connor come in with me?" She asked, nervous about seeing one of these men again.
"Of course"
Connor tightened his grip on Ava's was it as the walked into the viewing room. Before them, on the other side of the one way mirror was a young man, probably late 20's with dirty blonde hair. Something about him seemed familiar to Connor but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Jacob Lee. He asked to see Ava by name, but also referred to her as Minnie?" Hank told them, knowing the second half of that sentence was unusual.
Ava stepped out of Connor embrace suddenly, getting closer to the mirror. She crossed her arms over her body and didn't say anything, only gazed unhappily at the man before her.
"Ava do you know him?" Voight asked gently, seeing how shaken up she was.
Connor stepped forward to be at her side again, placing both hands on her arms.
"Ave?"
Ava jumped suddenly at his touch, tears filling her eyes.
She gasped, nodding her head, "He's my brother"
