Sitting at the last table in Molly's, Shaylynn has a glass and a bottle of tequila sitting in front of her.
Rhodes walks in, walks up to the bar and orders a drink. He turns around and sees Shaylynn sitting there.
After getting his drink he walks over to her, "It's a little early in the day for you to be drinking, isn't it?"
Shaylynn looks up at him, "It's five o'clock somewhere!" she tells him, "Plus you're one to talk! You're drinking!"
"It's actually night time for me. I'm getting off a twenty-hour shift" he tells her sitting down.
"What the hell, Connor! Are you trying to kill yourself?! What happened to keep you there that long?" Shaylynn asks him.
"A huge accident. It was all surgeons on deck!" he tells her, "So what's your deal?"
"I've done something! I've done something I have never done since getting with Jay!" she tells him, "If he finds out what I've done, I'm wondering what he'll think of me. Jay's a great Cop and an even greater Detective if he finds out what I did is he going to react as a Husband or a Detective?"
"It can't be that bad!" Rhodes tells her.
Shaylynn rolls her eyes, "Did you drive here?" she asks him.
"No, I took a cab. It's outside waiting on me" Rhodes tells her downing his drink, "So I better be going! Don't finish the bottle! You'll regret it in the morning!"
"This is nothing! I can drink my four guys under the table!" Shaylynn tells him, "It's amazing what your body can build up a tolerance to so you can stay alive."
"Just don't do it!" Rhodes tells her, "I better be going! Take care, Shaylynn!" he says as he stands up.
He starts walking away, "Get some sleep, Connor! That's an order!" Shaylynn yells at him.
Rhodes turns around, smiles at her and gives her a salute. He opens the door and walks out to his waiting cab.
After getting in he pulls out his phone....
"You better get to Molly's. Shaylynn's drowning herself in a bottle of tequila" he says hanging up then putting his phone back into his pocket.

Fifteen minutes later, Halstead's walking into Molly's.
He walks toward the back where Shaylynn's sitting, "Shaylynn, what's going on with you?" he asks her, "Would you talk to me!"
Shaylynn stares at him, "I've done something" she tells him.
Halstead looks around, "Maybe we should go for a walk," he tells her.
He grabs the glass and bottle and puts them on the bar.
Turning around, he helps Shaylynn stand up, "Should you be drinking?" he asks her as they walk through Molly's.
"What do you mean?" Shaylynn asks him confused.
"In case you're pregnant," Halstead says once they're outside Molly's.
"I'm not!" she tells him, "My period started this morning."
Halstead nods, "Now what is this about you've done something?" he asks her as they walk along.
"I killed Boris" Shaylynn tells him.
Halstead stops dead in his tracks, "You did what?!" he questions her.
"I killed Boris then fed his body to the pigs!" she tells him.
"Shaylynn! But how....how did you get ahold of him? Last time I saw him Hank and Al were driving away with him and two other guys!" Halstead tells her.
Shaylynn gives Halstead a look, "You already knew about them?!" she says pissed off, "What else do you know?" she asks him.
"More than you know!" he tells her.
"Jay! You better tell me everything!" Shaylynn demands, "Do you know where Nico and Arthur are? Butch and the others have been searching for them, but can't find them anywhere. And Butch is an extraordinary tracker!" she tells him.
Halstead looks up and makes a funny face, "I have a good idea where Nico is and maybe Arthur is in the same place" he tells her.
"Were you around when they disappeared?" she asks him.
"Hank and Al took Nico from the club that night. As for Arthur, well" Halstead says looking away.
"Jay! What did you do?" Shaylynn asks him.
"He was in Molly's holding Herrmann at gunpoint asking for your address. I sort of took care of him and handed him over to Hank" Halstead tells her.
"Damn it, Jay! You're not supposed to be apart of this!" she tells him.
Halstead looks at her with a concerned look, "What do you mean I'm not supposed to be apart of this? Why aren't I suppose to apart of this but you are?"
"Because what you don't know can't hurt you when people come around and start asking questions. Guilty by association, I know you've heard of it! If anything happens and bodies start showing up, the shit is going to hit the fan. I need to find out what Hank and Al did with Nico and Arthur's bodies! Boris will never be found unless someone wants to go digging through a ton of pig shit and test it" she tells him.
Shaylynn turns around and starts walking away, "Where are you going?" Halstead yells at her.
"I'm going to talk to Hank!" she yells back.
An SUV speeds down the street....

POP

"SHAYLYNN!" Halstead yells.
