Chloe sat at her desk in the precinct as she looked to see as Cragen walked in

"I'm glad to see the place hasn't fallen apart entirely." Cragen said

"Wasn't the same without you, Captain." Amanda said as Chloe smiled

"I took a two-week coffee break and nobody noticed." Finn said

"I don't think so." Cragen said

"I see Harris had you filing daily memo books, mileage logs."

"Lots of busywork." Olivia said

"But it didn't seem to slow you down. You cleared me.
So let's keep it up, try following the rules for a change." Cragen sand

"There's rules, and then there's bureaucracy." Nick said

"Nicky here doesn't like to follow either" Chloe said. He looked to her and rolled his eyes at her. Chloe knew how things were between them lately she how tense it was

"Try following both.Wouldn't hurt to color inside the lines for a while.All of us.Oh, and, uh, by the way... thanks." Cragen said

Chloe stood in the room of the John from a crash with John and a young girl who looked to be too young to be a prostitute. She stood with Nick and sighed. She hated how she seemed to be working more and more cases with him. She knew the history that they had and how it wasn't easy

"Why are you talking to me?I wasn't driving the car.
I didn't cause a crash."

"Paying for sex is against the law." Chloe said

"All I paid for were drinks.I come to town, I meet a girl, I got lucky."

"Lucky?" Chloe said as he looked to his leg that was in a splint

"Up to a point."

"You happen to notice the bar code tattooed on your friend's neck?" Nick said

"I wasn't looking at her neck."

"Yeah?Who was driving the car?" Chloe asked

"I don't know his name.I met him outside the hotel.
Said he was gonna take us to a club downtown."

"You were headed north." Chloe said

"Hey, look.Driving in a limo isn't illegal.
Neither is having sex.Unless Bloomberg passed some new law I haven't heard about."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Dworkin.And we'll be sure to call your wife and let her know you're okay." Nick said as they walked out of the room

Chloe stood walking through the streets of New York with Nick and Olivia and Amanda

"So this turkey greeting card salesman flies in from Kansas City and scores with a hot 18-year old?" Nick asked

"Yeah, and she likes sweaty pot bellies.I don't think so." Chloe said

"But he's not gonna say he paid her, and she's not gonna say he paid her." Amanda said
