CHAPTER THIRTEEN
trust





















Hank walks into the locker room in his whites where Adam is sitting on the bench in his blues and says, "I told you to talk it back. Tell Trudy's friend it was me who got in the altercation. Not you, me"

Adam gets up off the bench to close his locker and says, "Sarg, listen. I thought about it. I thought about it long and hard, and I just did what I thought was best for you and for everyone else"

"It's not your job to protect me, to protect us"

"Why is that?! Why are you the only one that gets to live by a code? I don't understand. Boss, this is who I am. I'm always gonna do whatever I can to protect you all. It's how I'm built, like Al was, like you were, and Sam. And I just don't understand why you don't get that"

"Because you're not Al! And you're not me. And Sam can hold her own because she learned from me and her mother. You're a kid. You got your whole life in front of you"

"I can handle whatever comes my.." Hank cuts Ruzek off and says, "We had one chance to make this right, you hear me? One, and you blew it"

"Sarg, listen to me.." Hank cuts Adam off again, by pushing him into the lockers, "This is my unit! My unit! I take the heat, I take the bullets. Is that clear? Is that clear?"

"It's clear. I'm sorry"

Jay and Sam walk into the dining hall at a hotel in their blues where Brennan wants the intelligence team to be in support of a candidate running for mayor. Brian Kelton.

"Wow, this place is nice. They sure know how to throw a party, huh" Sam says. Jay interlocks his fingers with his wife's and says, "Yes they do"

The couple heads over to the table where the rest of the team is and when Sam makes eye contact with Brayden, she quickly looks away.

Flashback...
A few nights ago

Sam and Brayden sit at the bar in Molly's having a drink (well Sam is have a water due to her not feeling well. She just wanted to take a breathe and talk with her partner) when the brunette says, "I never got to thank you the other day for coming to my rescue and punching that guy in the face who pushed me"

"Hey, I wasn't gonna have anyone mess with my partner. No way" Brayden says, making them both chuckle, "So, can I, uhm, tell you something?"
