As Ariel arrives to the district, she parks her car and spots Antonio outside with two coffees in his hands. "Good morning Ariel, I thought you would love a coffee to wake you up huh?" I grab gently the coffee in his hand and take a sip. Antonio notices her are are all red and she has a terrible face. "Thanks, I know I'm late but I had to do." It's August now, the weather is getting a bit cooler. Ariel walks past him, leaving Antonio speechless because this isn't the way Ariel acts with him. Antonio quickly thinks, he'd done something wrong but what?
"Hey!" Erin says to Ariel as she sits at her desk, Ariel looks up at Erin who is staring. "Hi." She looks back down to her computer and starts typing. "I'm going in the breakroom..."says Erin, making it obvious so, Ariel could follow her. Once Erin is in there alone, Ariel walks there to spit the frog she has in her stomach. "What's up? You look terrible... no offense!" Ariel leans on her back towards the counter, she crosses her arms taking a deep breath. "Amaro cheated on me again and this time I won't give him a second fucking chance!" She spits, only thinking of Nick makes Ariel want to punch him so hard. "Who is she?"Erin asks waiting for her coffee to be ready, I look behind me to see if someone is listening. "Some Stacey Muller, I don't know who the fucking she is!" All of a sudden, the two girls hear a knock on the open door. They both turn around to see Antonio at the door, Ariel meets his eyes, feeling sorry about ignoring him outside earlier. "Can I come in?" He ask and I nod. "I'll just go and finish some paperwork..." Erin leaves the room with her cup of coffee and Antonio closes the door once they're alone. "Ariel, what's wrong? You acted a bit strange earlier..."
"Antonio..." Ariel couldn't stop the feeling to let her tears hold so, she burst out crying like a little girl. Antonio runs over to her, embracing Ariel in his strong arms. "It's ok... could you please tell me what's wrong cause I'm getting worried..." Ariel nods wiping a tear off her cheek. "Nick cheated on me, I found out with a message on his cell this morning. I dumped him for good this time!" Antonio feels happier as Ariel tells him that she left that scum bag. He really hated Amaro, since that night in the hospital, plus after Ariel returned back home. "Antonio I'm sorry if I was a brat earlier, it's just that... I'm so sick of being thrown and fooled around..."
"You don't deserve someone like him, he's a liar and Ariel, you deserve more!" Antonio puts both of his hands on Ariel's shoulders. "Thanks Antonio, I know I can count on you."
"I know what will make you feel better!" Ariel wipes her tears off, she is calm now after Antonio talking to her. "What do you have in mind Detective Dawson?" She asks smiling, using a flirtatious tone, she stops as soon as Ariel notices whats she was doing. Ariel has Antonio's image stuck in her head, from the first time he saw him, Ariel tries to not think about it but when he sees him, her stomach goes funny. "At Molly's! We'll have a few beers and then... Who knows..." Antonio jokes around with the last words, Ariel punches him playfully as they both go back to their desks.
"Ariel." She turns around facing Voight, he makes sign to her to come in his office. Ariel looks back to Antonio, the others send her a confused look, she turns around and walks towards Voight's office. "Sit" he says as she closed the door. "Is there a problem seargent?" Ariel is worried because it's strange that Hank Voight called her in his office. Her hands are beginning to sweat and she looks straight into Voight's eyes.
"Are you enjoying Chicago so far?"
"Yes sir, I love it..."
"How are you feeling now?"
"Ok... why?" She asks as Voight raises on of his eyebrows. "I thought that since you came in my unit, you're one of the best detectives I have. If it's fine with you, would you like to.go undercover for a case?" Ariel lets a smile run across her face, Voight smiles to standing up. "I would love to sir!" He nods still smiling, he makes sigh to her to follow him to the bullpen. "I received a call, there's a traffic dealer of drugs here in my city." Antonio walks towards them with his pen and paper in hand. "What else?" Antonio asks as he writes down the information. "I found were they are so, I asked Ariel to go undercover as a prostitute but I need someone else." Ariel feels Antonio's stare on her, they lock eyes but then look away as Nadia stands up to talk. "I can do it!" She raises her hand, Voight simply nods and looks over to Erin. "And you?" She shakes her head. "Why? You don't wanna show a bit of your legs?"
"I prefer not." They both look at each other in silence. "I can ask Kim Burgess?" Adam stands up and walks towards Voight. "No Erin, it's too dangerous for her!" Ruben shouts raising his hands in the air. "They've got us controlling the area Ruzek" Alvin whispers. "Tomorrow, I want Blue, Nadia and Burgess to get prepared for the undercover. Until then, I want the rest of you to keep those people under control." Hank says then walks back to his office. "Why did you accept?" Antonio whispers so no one can hear, Ariel gets near and locks eyes with him. "Because I want to show Voight that I'm worth it, Antonio." She explains, he shakes his head. "I don't want you to get hurt like weeks ago... I got scared that I was going to loose you, Ariel!"
"Antonio I appreciate that you care but it's my decision not yours!" Ariel walks away and return to her desk continuing with her work. Antonio looks at Ariel, hoping that she will lift her head up but nothing.
