Things had been a little weird between Callie and Jake, mainly because Jake had slept with the Medical examiner a week ago and mainly because Callie's Ex had gotten in touch and wanted to start over.

Their relationship didn't end badly, they were still great friends but they both did very different things, with very different people so they realized that no matter how much they loved eachother it was best to move on with someone who was like them.

Jake was still working on his plan for her despite the fact that her ex Aiden was back in her life. It was hard for him, mainly because he was jealous, he didn't want to be but he was and he didn't know why, but he was. All she ever talked about was Aiden and it drove him nuts.

But he saw that she was okay, so he sucked it up for her. But the next phase in his plan was coming to light. Though it won't really go as planned.

The squad was currently in the brief room listening to the days assignments.

" Peralta, where are we with the Linchon Case murder?" Sarge asked the detective.

"Well like, I told Captain Holt this morning we are at the on yard line. It's a football reference." He responded

"Yes Jake, I played line backer at Syracuse."

" Really? In highschool I played centre field in the Musical Damn Yankees." Charles informed with a smile.

"You don't wanna brag about that." Jake told his friend.

" Peralta you wanna loop everyone in?" Captain offered, well ordered.

"Ehh." He refused.

"That was not a request."

"Fine." He started before he groaned, stood up and walked to front of the room.

"Get ready for some stuff on a screen. Meet Fred Gorman. Prominent citizen, lawyer, corpse. Now meet his wife. Ann Hoert. She did not take his last name, but I believe she did take his life." Jake spoke confidently as Scully took down notes

"Nice." Callie commented.

"Thank you Cals. Now Hoert had means, motives and opportunity. I just need to find the murder weapon. For some reason the DA won't move foward with the arrest until we find the knife she used."

"Is that reason that they want to win the case?" Captain Holt assumed.

"Yes."

"Well then find it. The family is close to the mayor and we're catching heat from the higher ups. I'm going to ask you again. Do you need any resources or personnel?" Captain offered Jake like he did before.

"No sir, I've got it."

" Okay. Dismissed!" Caotain concluded before calling Sarge and Callie into his office.

Callie waved at Jake before following Terry to the Captains office.

"Terry, Catalina I'd like you two accompany me to a gun range." Captain requested making Callie purse her lips and furrow her eyebrows.

"You mean drive you there and wait outside..." Terry stuttered.

"Far away from the guns." Callie finished for her dark skinned friend.

"I spent 8 years in the public affairs office so my tactical skills are a little rusty. I need some pointers."

"With all due respect sir, I haven't fired a gun since the accident and Terry hasn't since his incident." Callie told him.

"The mannequin incident...I'm familiar."

"There was actually another one after." Terry told Holt.

"Another incident?"

"Yep." Callie started before Terry told holt about the department store incident.

"Sir we may not be the best people for the job." Terry said to his boss.

"Terry, you used to be the champion marksman of this precinct and Catalina you used to be the best in your unit. I only want to take pointers from the best. So I'll keep it lowkey, we'll go after work. No cops no pressure." Captain emphasized before Gina and Adelaide came into the office making gun shot sounds making both Terry and Callie flinch.

"I told Gina and Adelaide they could join us." Captain told the two as Addy smiled sheepishly at Callie.

"I wanna get certified, theres been alot of crime in my neighborhood and the cops at my precinct are very bad."

"You live in our Precinct?" Captain said in realization.

"Yeah I know." Gina subtly snapped back.

"Ouch, my mother wants me to get certified, she keeps on saying and I quote 'you work with cops, get a gun like cops." Adelaide told the group in her mothers Texan accent.

Callie had just come back from helping Amy with a crime scene when she noticed that The Vulture was in their Precinct, sitting by Jake's desk as Jake gathered together some files.

"Oh wow... looking good Rodriguez, Santiago. Foxy Ma's." Vulture commented as the two friends walked past him.

"Go Rot in hell." Amy barked as Callie smiled while flipping him off.

"Jakey this is your fault." Callie stated as she took a seat by her desk.

"Thanks Champ, I appreciate the effort. And hey feel free to call me any time you need me to come down here and help out with that big white ass of yours." Vulture gloated before slapping Jake's butt making him groan uncomfortably.

"Well that's the worst thing thats happened to me." Jake complained before Callies phone started ringing and she went to the roof to take it.

"Hey Aiden." Callie greeted her current, well someone.

"Hey Lee, so I was thinking, you, me Calistos tomorrow?" The man asked shyly making the girl smile slightly.

"That sounds amazing. I'll see you then." Callie said with a small smile before hanging up.

She didn't know what it was but there was something different about Aiden, the spark wasn't as bright as it used to be.
