"work hours starts at 8 am honey" Krzeminski called out as Evy walked inside the bullpen making everyone's head turn to her. She raised her middle finger at him and kept walking towards her desk

"good you're here" Jack spoke sitting on the edge of his desk that's next to Evy's making her groan with her head down on her desk still feeling dizzy. Jack let's out a laugh satisfied to know that he annoyed her

"you might want to file these s-" Jack stops his own sentence when she finally raised her head up to shoot him a glare seeing her pale

"you're more pale than these surveillance reports are Lenoir" he stated coolly "I didn't ask" she respond taking them from his hand "did you even sleep or eat anything?" he asked

"why do you care" she turned to her desk and opened the surveillance reports "I don't" he grinned making his way back to Chief's office

"where's peggy?" Evy asked glancing at her desk "in here" Peggy spoke coming out of the room where the files are at "jesus, Evy are you okay?" she asked worriedly hurrying up to her desk

"I'm okay peg, just had a late night" she lied giving her a smile "I'm okay, I promise" she laughed when Peggy placed a hand on her forehead checking her temperature "you're so pale"

"you need anything else?" Dooley asked Jack when he came back to his office after sending him out "Lenoir is pale as hell Chief, I think the woman deserves a rest day" he explained making Dooley turn to him with a small grin on his lips

"what happened to her?" he asked "didn't asked, she just walked in here like that" he shrugged "why are you the one telling me this and not her?" Dooley asked hiding his growing smirk "you know the woman chief, she's stubborn she will never tell you she's not feeling well"

"alright, send her home then" jack nodded in response walking towards the door when the chief called him "you like her don't you" it was more of a statement than a question making Jack scoff "never, she always gets on my nerves"

"exactly why" he smirked. Jack nodded not understanding what he meant but decided to leave his office "Lenoir" he called standing in front of the Chief's office "take a rest day. Chief's orders" Evy glanced at him with scrunched eyebrows "what? I'm fine" she replied before Dooley came out "Jeez, Thompson was right you are pale as hell. Go home Agent Lenoir" Evy rolled her eyes

"I am okay, I can w-"

"Lenoir for once in your life, stop being so stubborn"

"Chief I told you I'm fine"

"doesn't look like it"

"wha-"

"Carter go with her. Take her home, go shopping or whatever will make your friend feel better" he cuts her off making her sigh in defeat "of course" peggy replied. Evy shoot Jack a glare making him smile "what? I did you a favor" he grinned shoving his hands on his pockets

"what happened to you?" peggy asked when they both sat down across from each other on the booth "just didn't got enough sleep that's all" she reasoned "then after this you better go home and rest" peggy pushed the plate in front of her signaling her to eat

"what's wrong?" evy asked looking at Peggy's eyes "huh?" peggy respond confused "you don't look fine to me" evy replied eating her food "my uh, roommate" peggy gulped "colleen? what about her?" evy asked with a smile remembering the sweet girl

"she passed away" peggy mumbled loud enough for her to hear making Evy's smile drop "what?" she whispered looking at Peggy's eyes seeing tears forming into them "oh peggy" she stood up from her booth and sat next to hers to wrap her in a tight comforting hug
