Endlessly [Chicago PD] (1)

A Beautiful Friendship✔️

(Chapter 14)

I got to Annie's house the same time as Erin without saying anything we ran inside. You could hear Charlie yelling from outside.

"Stop!" I yelled as I pushed Charlie away from Annie, while Erin kneeled in front of her checking if she's okay.

"She's fine." Charlie kept repeating.

But she wasn't fine. She had a bloody lip and a huge bruise was forming around her eyes.

"You're gonna wish you'd stayed out of Chicago, Charlie." I threataned.

"No, what you're gonna wish is that I'd forgotten all about Sandoval. But, I haven't, have I?" Charlie said then put his hands out, "You want to take me in? Let's go. I'm happy to tell everyone what happened, not five streets from here, if I recall. Or,hey, I got an idea. Instead of the past, why don't we focus on the future?"

"Sure. What do you want? How much?" Erin asked.

"More than the two of you can afford on a cop's salary. I'm gonna need the old Lindsay and the old Blake for this one." Charlie said and handed us the paper, I snatched it from his hand and read what it said, I shook my head and showed it to Erin.

"You're out of your mind." I scoffed.

"Really? You know, I played nice guy before and kept my mouth shut for you three. What did it get me? 12 years wandering the wildness while you two got to play cops and you raised my son!" Charlie yelled as he went for Annie again, but Erin pushed him, "don't touch her!"

"Nah, not this time. I'm getting my payday, or I run my mouth. I need that today." Charlie stated, and walked out of the house.

"Erin, Care,please. Whatever he needs just give it to him." Annie begged as she hugged Erin.

How the hell are we gonna solve this mess?

"Hey, goodmorning." Jay said as we walked into the bullpen. I went to my desk, "yeah,morning." I mumbled.

Atwater came upstairs, he's the new addition for the team, I zoned out their conversation up until the point I heard whistling and clapping, I looked to the side and Antonio walked up the steps.

"Hey, man, what the hell you doing back so soon?" Al asked.

"Oh my god. You sound like my wife." Antonio whined.

"Listen, we got you a little 'welcome back/ glad you're not dead' gift." Jay said.

"Don't say we didn't ever do anything for you." Ruzek joked as he walked back in with a walker.

"That's hilarious." Antonio said.

Then him and Jay started fake fighting. I'm glad Antonio's back. He's like a brother to me, but with the Charlie thing going on, I can't think of anything else. I glanced at Erin and saw she's in the same state as me.
