Running from the past

Revenge

"Good morning, did you guys see Ariel?" Antonio comes in the bullpen with his jacket on his arm, Erin looks at the others who shake their heads. "No, I think she's late this morning..." Alvin says swinging around with his chair. "Antonio, in my office!" Hank sneaks his head out to the bullpen, he calls Antonio in to have a chat, a serious chat. "Yes..." Antonio marches straight towards Voight's office, holding his anger and trying to stay calm in front of this man. He knew something wasn't right last night, when Hank came around to Ariel's place. Antonio knew exactly why Voight called him in his office and the reason is his daughter. "Sit." He says calmly, Antonio does what he says and crosses his arms waiting for his boss to speak up. "I called you in my office for a reason kid... and that reason is my daughter..." Antonio nods wanting to puch Voight in the face. "What about Ariel?" He asks showing Voight that Antonio doesn't understand what he's talking about.
"I have a question for you." Voight crosses his legs never leaving Antonio's eyes. "Do you wanna keep your job, Dawson?" Antonio's face goes in confusion, his hands sweat as Voight's words echo in his ears. "Yes Voight, I do." Hank smiles as Antonio answers. "Good. My daughter is off limits, so stay away or say goodbye to your job."

"What do we have here?" Hank walks in the bullpen after a strong conversation in his office, there was tension in the room and Antonio was about to boom out all the words he wanted to throw in Voight's face. "There has been a crime scene in a house down town this morning, Sarge..." Atwater explains as he sticks some photos up on the whiteboard. "It was a normal family with no problems and everyone in the neighbourhood knew them as good people." Jay added standing next to Atwater. "The father..." everyone turns around as Alvin starts to speak, Ariel walks in with a horrible pale face. "Good morning." Antonio notices her head down without meeting eyes with no one. "Is everything ok?" Ruzek asks her, she nods sitting down at her desk with a fake smile on her lips. Antonio turns around to meet Voight's eyes, he knew what that loom meant, he must stay away from Ariel or else he will loose the job. "Blue, you have a visiter down stairs..." Platt comes up the stairs peaking at Ariel's side, she looks at her boss and nods letting Ariel go and see who it was.

"Sarge, where?" Trudy Platt points at the edge of the district hall, Ariel eyes follow Platt's finger at a tall muscled man who has his head turned around. "Thanks." Trudy sends her a warm smile, she is wondering who that man can be and if Antonio knows about it. Almost everyone in the 21 district knows that something is going on between Dawson and Blue and the first to know is obviously Trudy Platt. "Hey..." Ariel's eyes widen as she meets Tucker's eyes. "Tucker!"
"Ariel, wow oh!" They both get together in a big hug, squeezing him so hard making Tucker loose his breath. "How has it been?" She asks holding hands with him, he has an enormous smile planted on his handsome face. "A while kid, I've been busy working and stuff..." he explains looking deeply in Ariel's eyes. Tucker White is Ariel's best friend for years, since the two were born, they shared everything together. The two are like brothers and sisters and Ariel is so happy to have known someone like Tucker. When Ariel was engaged with Nick Amaro, she always got into a fight when she returned home because Nick was jealous. Obviously, Ariel would never crash on his best friend like Tucker wouldn't, they both love each other and they don't want to ruin their fantastic friendship for something like that.
"What do you do now?" Ariel asks curious, because last time Tucker worked in a tool shop. "I work as a mechanic now with my dad." Ariel covers her mouth with her hands. "What?" Tucker was surprised himself. "You sort that problem with your dad, I'm so happy for you and thanks to me, you are happy again!" Ariel points out by winking, Tucker laughs by grabing Ariel into a hug. "I don't know what I could do without you. You are my guardian angel and yes, thanks to you I talk to my dad again! I love you Ariel!" Ariel spots Platt staring like a spy, she turns around rolling her eyes. "So you work here, wow cool place baby!" Tucker looks around the hall then his eyes fall on Ariel's again.
"Sarge, who is that?" Antonio asks coming down the stairs with the rest of the unit. "Wow, looks like your girl found a replacement!" Ruzek jokes but gets punched on the arm by Alvin. "A think that boy must be a friend of Ariel's, I don't have a good hearing ya know Dawson!" Antonio rolls his eyes. "Yeah when you want to..." he whispers. "Sorry, what did you just say?" Antonio ignores Platt and decides to walks towards his partner. Before coming down stairs, Voight reminded him about staying away from Ariel. As Antonio walks towards the girl who took his heart, jealousy eats his mind, he sees them laugh and talk. "Yeah, I really like this job and..." Antonio coughs at the back getting their attention. "Oh Tucker, this is my partner Antonio Dawson, Dawson this is Tucker my best friend since we were kids..." Antonio and Tucker share an evil look which makes Ariel feel awkward. "So... Antonio... what's up?" Ariel asks to break the ice. "We have to go to work..."
"Tucker..." Ariel's expression turns sad hugging Tucker one last time before going. "Listen I understand, I came in a wring moment and I must of known you were working, sorry..."
"Tuck it's fine, I'm so happy to see you again and we must catch up these four years..."
"Indeed baby, why don't we have some dinner tonight?" Antonio is trying to hold his nerves, it results too difficult for him seeing this beast crashing on his woman. Oh Antonio forgot... Ariel is not his girl anymore, he must forget Ariel and keep his job, because after divorcing with Laura, the only money to live was being a cop. "It sounds good and mabye after dinner, we could go to Molly's..." Tucker raises his eyebrow. "It's the coolest bar in Chicago..." Antonio explains crossing his arms. "Cool, see you at Mario's tonight at nine, is that fine with you?"
"Sure, I must go now see you tonight Tuck!" Ariel waves goodbye as Antonio sends the man another look to say "stay away from her" even if Antonio needs to too but he can't bare seeing Ariel with Tucker although, he is her best friend.
