"I got enough to take you down for a long time, and you attacking two cops earlier, you're down forever" he say scornfully.

The way he said it, the scornful sentences and the cruel way of expressing it, makes me start to boil inside. He's wrong. To him, this is not a normal homicide case, this is personal to him.

"If you're just 'gonna stand here and accuse me with shit you can't prove, I'd rather rot up in that hold up cell" I say and hastily walk to the door.

I knock on in twice "Excuse me, I'd like to get 'outta here, this guy-" I say but Carl comes from behind and grab my shoulders and slam me against the wall.

"You ain't going nowhere until you tell me the truth" he say and stare into my eyes.

He has his entire body weight pushing me toward the wall, and he got his arm lightly pushing on my throat as if he was ready to strangle me.

When his arm start to press harder against my throat I wince to get out of his grip but he has a steady grip on me and my weight against his, is nothing.

Hands cuffed, less weight and in a bad position, it's worthless to even try.

"You need to calm down" he say.

"You need to calm down" I yell back.

He stare at me for a short amount of time and then he let go. We both hear two knocks from behind the mirror, and then he leaves. I keep standing against the wall because I don't know what else to do.

I don't have time to completely calm down before the door opens again, I burst out in a sigh when I see it's Jay.

He look at me while he walk toward me. When he's close he put his quite warm hands firmly on my shoulders and push me against the wall. Then exactly like Carl did, he put his body weight on me.

At first I don't understand why Jay is doing what he does but when I see Voight coming into the room I totally get it.

"You son of a bitch, you could at least have told me! Huh?" I scream as I try to get out of Jay's grip.

"Jennifer" he cut me off completely fearless.

"But that doesn't surprise me either, because why would it matter if I almost killed a person or two!?" I continue

"Jennifer" he say again, the exact same way.

"I mean, you're a cold blooded, heartless old man, so why would it matter!? Huh? Tell me!" I scream.

Then I'm done, and the anger converts into tears and weakness, I almost fall into Jay's arms.

"Are you done?" He ask.

I nod and as soon as I hear the sound of scrambling keys, which I assume Jay also heard, he let go of me. Calmly I walk to Voight and let him uncuff me.

"Let's go home" Jay says.

I stop "Actually, can I start over?" I ask.

Voight nods.

"I'm sorry that I ran away, I never intended to but it felt like an instinct. I want to make things right and I want to be a cop. I want a new chance, a new start. So if you could just give one more chance to make things right. One more chance, and I'll promise you this won't be like the the other chances I've been given. This is something else, a new beginning.

"You can start by taking this" Voight says and hold up a while pill. My medicine for IED.

New chance, new beginning.
