Spitting Bullets

Chapter 1

Nicole walked into the district coffee in hand, looking exhausted. She had been working in Intelligence for 5 months now, with her partner Antonio Dawson. Antonio was a hot latino detective with black hair and brown eyes. He was divorced with two kids, Eva and Diego. Nicole and Antonio had gotten along perfectly but now things were starting to crumble. She realized she was starting to have feelings for him. As she walked into the bullpen she saw everyone already situated at their desk.

"Hey Tonio," grinned Nicole as she sat down at her desk.

"Hey Nic," smiled Antonio as he moved to sit on the edge of his desk.

"Slow morning so far?" questioned Nicole, peeling off her coat.

"Yeah Hank said we aren't having cases today. Have some stupid taser certification. Guy should be here any minute."

"Damn Lindsay lucked out. The one day she takes the day off."

"She picked a good one."

All conversations were interrupted by a big guy walking into the bullpen with a giant bag. Next to him was Voight, looking slightly agitated.

"Guys this is Ed Howard. He's doing uh...," trailed Voight, forgetting.

"Taser certicfication!" announced Ed.

"Yeah that. So just listen to him," stated Voight as he started walking towards his office.

"This includes you too Sergeant!" called the man.

"No thanks. I'll just stick to tickling perps to death," smirked Voight.

The guy looked a little flustered at his comment. Antonio turned to look at the man, a dead serious look on his face.

"Feel free to ask him again," stated Antonio, being a smartass.

Nicole held back a laugh as a grin crossed her face. The guy set down his bag, looking ready to get started.

"Well clearly the Commander hasn't met Sergeant Voight! Alright let's get started. Each one of you will be tased and each one of you will tase someone. So you'll be tased my your partner," explained Ed, causing Antonio and Nicole to smile at each other.

"Hey. What happened if you partner's not here?" asked Jay, reminding them of Lindsay's absence.

"You'll just pick someone to work with too. So one person will be tased twice, whoever you pick. I recommend picking someone the size of your partner so you can see how the voltage works on them. So figure that out. Who's first?" asked Ed, holding a taser in one hand.

He explained the tasering locations and then the groups began going. Atwater and Ruzek went first, both of them groaning loudly as they hit the ground with a thud. Ed now held the taser pointing it at Nicole, who was laughing.

"You're next. Tasering doesn't discriminate by gender," stated the man.

"Woah wait what?" nervously said Nicole as she looked at the guy.

"You're up sweetheart," smiled Ed.

"Oh boy," exhaled Nicole.

"Detective who didn't have a partner, did you figure out who your gonna have go twice?" asked Ed.

"Well," began Jay as a clapped a hand on Nicole's shoulder, "Detective Bryant here is about the same size as my female partner. So I guess I can work with her."

Nicole saw the smirk on Jay's face, then she turned to see her partner wearing the same smirk.

"Alright, fine. Give my the damn taser," huffed Nicole as she stuck her hand out to Ed.
