Protect Her

Thirty Balloons

*Gym*

Antonio and Jay are working out together and Jay is using the punching bag. The two are waiting for Erin and Ana to join them. Ana usually comes to the gym to spar with Antonio. He helps her with using different fighting methods that won't leave her as winded as she so easily is. On that train of thought-

"When are we gonna spar?" Antonio asked.

"I don't like that look in your eye." Jay joked.

"Nah, you're doing great, just keep dropping your left every time you throw your right cross, it'll be fun." Antonio advised.

Jay then walks over to a bench a begins unraveling the bandages from around his hands. He glances at the older Detective and sighs.

"Is Voight dirty?" Jay questioned.

"It's not my department." Antonio replied, knowing full well that Jay is referring to the male Voight.

Ana may be loyal all the way to the bone when it comes to her husband, but after what she's been through, there's no way in hell that she's dirty. Not to mention that Hank's usually the one called by the couple's shared last name.

"So that's a yes." Jay clarified.

"I almost went down the tubes when I was in Vice, which was right around the time I stopped judging other cops." Antonio explained.

"I'm not looking for judgment, just a definition. Do I learn from him, or do I keep my distance?" Jay questioned as Antonio glanced towards the entrance, seeing two familiar women walking towards them.

"Both. But if you really wanna know if he's dirty or not, ask her." Antonio suggested.

"Which one?" Jay smirked.

"Both." Antonio answered, as the women finish the walk over and Ana hugged him.

"Jazzercise is, like, a block south." Jay joked, referring to Erin's outfit.

(A/N going by the transcript and I completely forgot what she was wearing. Sorry)

Meanwhile, Ana's exercising outfit is pretty much the same as her nighttime one, except her shirt is black instead of white.

"Yeah, nice muscle tee." Erin retorted.

"This is perfectly acceptable attire for the boxing gym." Jay countered.

"No, absolutely, and the bonus is you don't have to change later when you break-dance." Erin fired back, making them all chuckle.

"Oh." Antonio exclaimed seeing another figure lingering by the entrance. "Your son." He pointed out as Ana turned and smiled.

"Justin!" She waved him over. "This is Antonio and Jay. We work with them." She explained.

"More like we work for you." Antonio corrected.

"Nah, that's Ruzek." Ana joked, making the 3 detectives burst out laughing as she turned back to her son.

"Antonio's buddy owns the gym, hence the 30% discount." Ana explained as the laughter subsides.

"20%. Nice try. The thirty's only for you, girlie." Antonio corrected.

The two share a smile as Jay holds his hand out for a shake.

"How you doing?" Jay asked, as Justin eyes him, before stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Okay." Jay muttered as Justin turned to his mother.

"I gotta make some calls." He informed.

"Okay." Ana nodded as Justin kissed her cheek and walked away.
