Officer from the 21st district - One Chicago

Chapter XVIII

- Your change Audrie -

 - I had to resuscitate the victim - 

- She did a good job today,- said Noah, then moved to the next table 

- Audrie knows how to react in critical situations -

 - I will go for a beer -

 - Hermann, give Audrie a beer on my account -

 - Rhodes is already doing - 

I went to the bar where I picked up a bottle of beer from Hermann. More people came to our table, Kate, Detective Dawson, the Halstead brothers, Severide and Kidd 

- Remember how we passed the accident, you stood and you went to help them -

 - I remember - 

- Audrey, despite being pregnant, pulled a woman and her child out of the car -  

- It was adrenaline -

 - I do not agree with you - 

- What was Connor then -

 - It certainly was not adrenaline just your common sense - 

- Let it be Connor - 

- He always goes to mine. Do not tell me you have not got used to it yet -

 - Maybe I'm used to -

 - Did you get pregnant with him ? - asked Kelly because I think he was the only one who did not know about my relationship with Connor and that I had a daughter 

- Yes, we have a six-year-old daughter named Zuri - 

- Zuri tells me something - 

- Sometimes he spends time with Mouchem and Trudy -

 - Mouch only once mentioned Zuri -

 - You have a picture of your daughter - 

- Of course I have - 

Connor showed his friends a photo of his daughter from our joint trip out of town 

- He has your smile Audrey -

 - It's not like any of you,- Kidd commented 

- Zuri is more like Rhodes than Donovan -

 - But she inherited character from her mother - 

- Zuri Rhodes ? -

 - Zuri Donovan Rhodes - I corrected my friend Kelly 

- Why did you hide her, - asked Will Halstead, because he was very curious about his friend's answer 

- I did not hide, only no one asked me if I had children -

 - Children ? - Connor looked at me, he wanted my permission to tell our story

 - Yes, a few months after the birth of Zuri, Audrey was pregnant again, our son Connor Junior died after 2 days in the world - 

- What happened - 

- A heart defect that was not detected during the ultrasound scan -

 I had tears in my eyes as Connor talked about our little son, he wiped them off. Those who sat next to me hug me. We started talking about other things. A charity match between the 21st post and the fire brigade will take place next month 

- For what purpose will the money be spent - 

- Scholarships for children who lost their parents on duty - 

- Noble goal -

 - Where are the records - Aaron asked, who just came to our table 

- At my side, and at the same time I am a trainer, - said Noah, who had heard our conversation  

- Officer Bass, please save me to your team -

 - Come to training tomorrow -

 - And to your team who will play - I asked a lieutenant from the rescue team 3 

- Casey - 

- Kelly, you're not serious -

 - Casey is so good ? - I began to laugh at the question that Aaron asked me. 

Those who know Casey know what a bad player Captain Matt Casey is. Half of our table started to laugh, including me, Kelly, Stella, Antonio and Jay.

- What's so funny ? - Asked Hermann, who came to our table to see why we were so happy 

- This is where officer Lee asks if Casey is a good player.-  I pointed to Aaron 

- Young you did not hear her irony in her voice - Aaron looked at all of us, and Hermann continued his statement 

- Casey is a good firefighter and builder and when it comes to the game, it's so bad at it -

 - Audrey was joking, Casey will not be on the team -

 - How could you lie to me, Kelly, my belly hurts from that laugh -

 - I'm sorry Audrey, I wanted to cheer you up a bit -

 - You did it -

 - So the share of profits goes to the foundation of the winning team - asked Kate

 - Yes - 

Each of us still drank one beer. After a dozen or so minutes, our entire table began slowly leaving Molly's.

- We have to repeat it,- said Kelly

 - Probably lieutenant -

 - Audrey, do not overdo it - 

-If you, Kate and Aaron were with Molly's who Zuri is with,-  Will wondered 

- With my mom -

 - Your mother is in the city -

 - She came for her granddaughter's birthday -

 - Who is her mother ? - Asked Jay 

- My mother is Paige Donovan - Turnell -

 - This famous journalist who ran the news -

 - That's how my mother - 

- Your mother has disappeared for some time - 

- After my father's death, she was in disarray -

 We finished talking about my mother, I said goodbye to everyone. Kate, Aaron and I came home together. Connor wanted to drive us home, but we refused.
