*District 21: Bullpen*

Ana was filling out some paperwork at her desk when a familiar voice speaking up from behind caught her intrest.

"Yo, you guys know we all know you're doing it, right?" Adam smirked.

"Doing it?" Jay inquired as he and his partner followed the other man out of the Break Room.

"Doing it." The Officer nodded, biting into a brownie.

"What's up?" Kim wondered from where she was rummaging through a bag on her desk.

"Jay and Hailey are moving in together." Adam explained, hopping onto his desk. "Tonight, I think, yeah? I'm a trained observer."

"You do know we all know you're together, right?" The female Officer grinned.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that. What I don't get is why that's a non-event, but this is a thing. We've been staying at each other's apartments for months." Jay retorted.

"Well, 'cause then you were just, like, doing it. Now you're doing it." Adam countered while Kevin, who was cleaning off his desk phone with a wipe, nodded in agreement.

"It's the same thing." The male Detective pointed out.

"Well, it's definitely not the same thing." The dark skinned Officer argued.

"For instance, did you know that sometimes women use the medicine cabinet to store medicine?" Adam revealed as if it was the most mind-blowing thing in the world.

Ana just shot him a half-hearted glare for that one. Hailey went to say something as well but the door to Hank's Office opened and the older man stuck his head out before she could reply.

"Hailey, got a sec?" He requested and the blonde went in with zero hesistation.

The brunette glanced at her husband with a questioning gaze but she just got an, "I'll tell you later," look in response.

Jay waited for the door to close again before turning back to the rest of the team.

"Let me tell you something right now. Looking around this room, the last thing I'm gonna do is ask for or listen to any relationship advice from you guys. Especially, since there's a married woman sitting right over there." The Detective teased, glancing at said person with a warm expression.

Ana just smiled in return.

*2800 Souty Drake: A Littke While Later*

Jay and Hailey had been heading home when they caught wind of an Armed Robbery in progress over the radio. The two Sergeants appeared on scene shortly after.

"Same MO?" Hank inquired as he and Ana walked underneath a strip of yellow tape being held up for them by a nearby patrolman.

"Yeah." The blonde nodded. "We're pulling video to prove it, but it's our robbery crew, definitely. Same as the last three."

"The armored car pulls up to service the bank. One of the offenders pulls in front of them with a truck to block them in and then boom." The male Detective explained, gesturing around as he spoke. "Two offenders pull up behind him, blow the door before the guards have time to engage. They reach inside, it's grab and go."

The four cops turned and began making their way deeper into the scene.

"Made out with 800 grand, give or take. We got a flash out on the getaway car." Hailey finished just as they met up with the rest of the team.

"We're assuming the truck's hot?" Ana guessed while adjusting her face mask.

"Yeah, it's confirmed stolen last night down in Chatham. We're working on surveillance." Adam replied.
