Everyone was in a pretty good mood coming back to work Monday. Alejandra just smiled softly and sat down. She looked up at Antonio who was talking and laughing with Kim Burgess.
It took him a whole weekend to get over her while she was still coming to terms with their breakup.
She looked away and went through some files to keep her busy.
Adam Ruzek got and tapped Kim's shoulder before they walked out. Voight stepped out of his office and folded his arms.
"Dawson , Edwards , I need to have a word now."
The two got up quietly and walked in. He shut the door behind them. Alejandra took a seat while Antonio stood there with his arms folded.
"I want to know if your personal issues will affect your wor-"
"It's not." Antonio said to him with a blank look on his face. Alejandra looked down and started to mess with her bracelet on her wrist. Hank looked at his daughter before looking at Antonio. "I would also appreciate a partner swap if possible."
Alejandra gulped , trying to not tear up. She promised herself after crying all weekend , she wouldn't cry at work , she couldn't let anyone see her weak. She refused.
"I'll see what I can do." Voight told him. Antonio nodded his head and walked out , the door shutting behind him. He looked at his daughter sadly. "You see why I didn't want in house romances ?"
She nodded. Voight got a phone call and put the phone to his ear.
Alejandra weakly patted her eyes with her sleeves , she couldn't walk around with tear streaks down her face.
Voight put the phone up before getting up.
"We have to work to do."
She got out and went straight to her desk.
"A school shooting might start at Webster Country Day school and we have to find him before he does it. Let's go."
They all went and put on their gear before rushing outside. Antonio and Alejandra got into the squad car and drove off right behind Voight. The drive was about fifteen minutes full of silence. Normal days , they would talk about everything , anything but that all changed last weekend.
She just want to talk to him , that's all she wanted to do but she knew a conversation would never happen and even if it did , it would be just about work and it will probably be so blunt and short to the point she would cry once again.
They all parked and got out as soon as they arrived. They all spread out around the outside of the school as Voight went to talk to Kim and Adam. Alejandra and Antonio went around the back as patrol came up to them.
"We found a body."
"I'll go tell Voight." Antonio said , walking off. He was doing anything to stay away from her. Alejandra had look away from anyone as more tears rose in her eyes. She had to blink tears away for the second time today and it was barely ten o'clock.
She kept her eyes on the dead child laying there in the dirt behind the school. A gunshot wound was through his temple and the blood decorated the left side of his face along the grass.
Grabbing a pair of gloves, she bent over and checked his pulse.
No pulse and the body was cold.
Moments later , she heard everyone else walk back up. Voight looked at her.
"What do we got ?"
"No pulse, body's cold. He's still holding on to the gun and there's the muzzle flash by the entry wound. Suicide."
