*District 21*
Ana walks into the Bullpen a week later and is greeted by her teammates cheering at her return. She got the same reaction when she walked through the doors of Firehouse 51 a few days ago. Other than a small cut near her hairline and few fading bruises, she is back and ready to take on the next case to arrive on Hank's desk.
For right now, the couple standing at the white board sends a few glares Jay's way, Hank more so than Ana, as he walks out of the break room followed by Erin. Hank felt like they went against his orders and started dating anyway. He's struggling to not pull an overprotective Dad and tell Jay to say away from Erin.
"Hey, Bluejay, how are you?" Ana wondered.
"Good." Jay replied.
"How's the coffee?" Hank asked, turning to Erin.
"It's delicious." She answered.
While Ana's question, a regular occurrence in the mornings, hadn't phased them in the slightest, Hank's made them frown at his weird behavior and glance back at him, skeptically.
"Glad to hear it." He assured.
"Hey, Sarge?" Adam called as he and Kevin walk over.
"What's up?" Ana wondered.
"So either Kev or I have to go to training course for the new Penlink software, right?" He questioned.
"Mm-hm" She hummed.
"What's Penlink?" Hank inquired.
"It's the, uh, we don't know." Kevin replied.
"Which conveniently brings us to our point. Respectfully, I know things didn't work out with Jin. You got some trust issues with the tech position, and she has them general, but I went to maybe three computer courses at the academy. I mean, if you need to mic somebody or hook up an XBOX, I think we're your guys. We're just not really cut out for the high-altitude stuff, boss." Adam explained.
"Don't say another word. I got the perfect guy for that. He did the explosives case with us last year. Mouse, you remember him?" Jay asked.
"We remember everything, Jay." Hank answered.
An awkward silence washes over the bullpen. And with it, comes the realization that something's wrong between the Sergeant and the Detective.
"All right. Well, then you'll recall that he did a great job for us, and when O gets-"
Ana holds a hand up, stopping Jay with a smirk. She saunters over to Alvin's desk and pulls the chair into view, revealing the owner occupying it.
"Yeah, he was solid." Alvin agreed.
"Yeah, plus, he's, like, a total tech whiz, you know, and I would trust him with my life. In fact, I have, many times." Jay added.
Commander Fischer chose that moment to appear at the top of the stairs with another man. Both walk past everyone and straight into the Office.
Hank sighed and looked over at his wife. She just gave him a small smile and nodded.
"Bring him around." He conceded.
Hank and Ana head into the Office, shutting the door behind them. He sits at his desk while Ana leans against the closed door, motioning for Fischer to begin.
"You know Lieutenant Guthrie from Narcotics." Fischer recalled.
"Yeah, sure. Hey, Alan." Hank greeted. "Meet my wife, Ana."
The Lieutenant had been told about her selective muteness and merely offered a smile despite the blank look he was getting in return.
"For the last 18 months, Narcotics has had an officer deep undercover with a robbery crew flooding the city with Schedule II prescription drugs." Fischer began.
