What I Need- a Hank Voight Chicago PD fanfiction

Closing

"Welcome to the team," he waved a hand at one of the older officers, a dark haired man reclined in a seat in the corner. "O, make the introductions." His gaze switched back to Lana, "then I'll see you in my office."
He stepped back before she had a chance to react. Good thing too, Lana couldn't think of a single intelligible thing to say.

Jay and Attwater welcomed her with a friendly kind of ease. Olinski did his part but seemed bemused more than anything. Anotinio and Erin were out on a call. She'd meet them later. She didn't stick around for much more conversation.
She didn't know what was going to be waiting for her in that office.

She stepped in and let the door shut swing. Back straight, she faced the man behind the desk, wondering just how it was exactly that she had managed to find herself in this situation.
He looked different here, settled back in his chair, eyes just a fraction warmer. They were brown. She hadn't gotten a chance to notice last night and they were watching her like they were waiting for something.
"I got the call that they were transferring someone in a couple days ago. I didn't have time to review your file."

She read between the lines. He hadn't known who she was in that bar last night. Well he wasn't the only one.

Lana cleared her throat, "The details of my transfer were vague. I didn't know what team they would be placing me in."
It was simple enough truth, and he nodded, that same thoughtful rhythm he had done before walking out of her apartment. Lana looked away.

"Is this going to be a problem?"

Lana's gaze snapped back. That frank look was in his eye again. He wanted it straight, and Lana smoothed her expression. No way was she going to cause trouble on her first day.
"Is what going to be a problem, sir."

He smiled, just barely enough to even call it one, and nodded his head to the door. "Dismissed."

She walked out a little stunned. Lana was normally the type to bounce back quick but this, this had thrown her. Not him apparently. The matter was addressed and dealt with before she had really caught up to the fact that she had accidentally slept with her boss.

She hadn't been in this city for two days and she had already screwed it up.
Well he had accidentally slept with a subordinate. So if he wanted to play it like nothing had happened, then she was just fine with that.

She got settled in, familiarized herself with her station, answered the small talk from the others. Where she was from. Had she ever been to Chicago before? She answered just enough to keep that friendly vibe going.
They took her for a techie, all brains and no street action. If Voight hadn't even read her file they wouldn't know she had spent five years on the force. A single accident had been enough to take her out of action.

Her right hand had been damaged. Most days she didn't even notice it, but they wouldn't clear her to pull that trigger. They had said that was the only reason they had taken her out of the field, but she was aware that wasn't the whole truth. Now here she was, using that college degree her mother had insisted she get. Atleast she was still in law enforcement. Atleast she was still doing something.

Erin and Antonio came sauntering back. She liked Antonio almost instinctively. He had that bad boy edge Jay seemed to be trying for, but shook her hand with an upfront kind of respect. Erin nodded a hello, but looked more than a little surprised. Erin was stunning, the kind of woman that made Lana just wanna fade back a little so no one would even try to compare them. She stayed active, lived healthy, but for as good as shape she was in she still looked soft, weak.
Erin gave Jay a particularly friendly smile before crossing right to Voight's office. She didn't knock, a detail Lana took note of.
