Dawson: "Anything?" she hums, messing with a small weight as she stands in front of where Ryan sits on a bench
Ryan: "Nope. Just like the last 20 times you've asked" she huffs, giving her a look as Dawson scoffs, waving her off "I still don't get this. You know where he lives and where he works. Why not just oh, I don't know, try running into him there?"
Dawson: "Because then he'll think I went there specifically to talk to him."
Ryan: "Your brother works in the same department as him. Not to mention your ex."
Dawson: "Just keep an eye out." she sighs
Ryan: "Incoming." she hums, motioning to the door as Dawson perks up
Moving to grab another weight she positions her body so that she crashes into Joseph, reaching out to quickly stabilize her stance as he does the same
Joseph: "Oh, woah. Sorry, I-Gabby?"
Dawson: "Joseph, hey."
Joseph: "What are you doing here?"
Dawson: "Oh, you know just getting in a workout. Gotta stay on top of things with Truck, you know."
Joseph: "Yeah."
Dawson: "So, uh, what about you? What are you doing here?"
Joseph: "I come here all the time. I'm actually the one who showed you this place, remember?"
Dawson: "Oh, yeah. That's right, I...I completely forgot." she nods as Ryan snickers in amusement, Joseph nodding unconvingly as he hums
Joseph: "Why don't you go get started with stretching I'll be right there." he nods to a woman who hums, moving past the three
Dawson: "New client?"
Joseph: "Yeah. Caught a slug in the shoulder chasing after a perp."
Dawson: "Ooh, ouch."
Joseph: "Yeah" he nods, the two standing in awkward silence for a moment "Well, I should get going."
Dawson: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't let me keep you" she nods as Joseph begins walking off, Ryan giving her a look of disbelief as she motions towards him "Hey, uh, Joseph" she calls out, hurrying after him "I know you're busy right now but what do you say I treat you to a drink at Molly's? Not tonight cause we have shift, but maybe tomorrow. We could watch the game, maybe-maybe talk about some things." she suggests as he purses his lips in thought for a moment
Joseph: "I'll see you tomorrow." he hums, giving her a soft smile as he turns to walk off, Dawson releasing a small breath of relief
Ryan: "Congrats" she nods, hopping off the bench as she reaches down to grab her bag "Now, let's go. You're buying me breakfast."

Antonio: "Watch your step, they're still flagging brain matter." he cautions as they move around where a truck is tipped onto its side, two men lying dead beside it
Voight: "Truck driver?"
Antonio: "Name's Aaron McIntire. He's in the wind. No eyewitnesses. Don't count on anyone coming outta the woodwork down here."
Jay: "The sedan came back stolen."
Antonio: "What, you done this before?"
CSI: "Detective? Found these in the cab of the truck. Crystal meth, looks like."
Madeline: "They're Jesús Malverde crystals. Patron saint of Mexican drug dealers. They carry 'em to ward off evil" she informs, Antonio turning to give her an impressed look as he raises his brow "What, you're not the only one with a Mexican background." she scoffs
