Getting back to "Normal" | Rhekker

Chapter 46- Trust

Adam dropped Ava back to the car park they'd met at and she got out of the car. Hank was seething next to the van. "Get in!" He barked, slamming the door shut behind him. They drove back to the motel in silence. Jay let them in a did a search of the room before Hank closed the door behind them.
"What was that!" He hissed.
"What was what?" Ava rubbed her temple.
"Why do you have no recordings?"
"I flushed the bug" she confesses.
"You did what!" Ava could see the veins in his neck bulging.
"He check my phone almost immediately after meeting me. You can ask Adam, he would have killed both of us!" She snapped at him.
"How dare you go rouge like that, I am your boss you hear me!"
"You can't be my boss if I'm at the bottom of Lake Michigan!" Ava balled her fists.

Hank didn't say anything but got closer to her.
"You do that again and your off this team" he hissed.
Hank went to open his mouth when Ava's phone rang. Ava looked to Jay who nodded for her to answer it. Ava carefully took the phone out of her jacket pocket and flipped it open. She shakily hit answer on the only new contact she had.
"Hello?"

"Andreas, my girl!' He laughed through the line, it sounded like he was drunk, "I want to meet you tomorrow, 3pm at one of my places, talk some business, you know?"

"Yeah, that sounds great" Ava nervously smiled, biting her lip.
"Oh and wear your nurse clothes, yeah?"

Before Ava could reply he hung up. Ava put her arm down and let her phone slip out of her hand.
"He wants to meet me tomorrow"
"Just you?" Jay asked.
Ava nodded and licked her lips. "The only life, that's really on the line right now is mine" she pointed her finger at Voight's chest.
"He wants me in scrubs as well" she said to Jay before storming into the bathroom, wanting to wash the day off her.

Ava lay in bed with Connor, her head on his bare chest. Connors breath was still soft and steady from sleep as Ava moved to look up at him. She traced the dark lines of his tattoos on his arms, following the bends and curves of each one. Ava breathed softly, focusing on each design individually. Ava jumped slightly as fingers brushed the exposed area of her back at the bottom of her shirt. Ava looked up to meet Connors sleepy gaze, leaning in she brought her lips lightly to his.

Someone jabbed Ava's shoulder and she startled awake, swinging her arm out to defend herself. Someone caught her wrist and Ava met their eye.
"What are you doing in here!" She pulled the duvet to cover herself more.
"You can't be trusted to keep a bug, then how can we trust you to open a door"
"Get dressed" Hank through the bag of clothes on top of her lap before leaving.

"Is he always this much of a prick?" Ava asked, getting out of bed. Jay didn't answer but went to closed the door behind Hank. Ava got into the shower and quickly cleaned herself, padding back into the bedroom and taking out a set of pink scrubs from the bag. Jay watched her from the door.
"Turn around" she shook her head.
"Oh, - oh sorry" he stamped, turning so his nose was practically touching the corner of the wall. Ava quickly got dried and changed.
"These aren't going to work" she gestured to the shoes at the bottem of the bag.
"What?" Jay turned around.
"The shoes, there too new, nurses don't get new shoes often, especially not in the middle of the year. "It's doesn't look real"
"Well there the only ones we could get" he sighed, realising the mistake.
"You could go by my apartment, get my shoes?" She suggested, clipping a fake ID onto herself.
"Ava" jay tilted his head.
"I wouldn't be making contact, you could go get them" she explained.
Jay exhaled shortly before going out the door. Ava went closer to the curtain to see outside, Hank rolled his eyes at what Jay was saying but then started nodding.
