"It’s hard for people like us, to be able to talk about the stuff we see every day. And not only that, but to not let it affect us. It’s a what do you call it, a defense mechanism."
"Hmmm…someone’s been seeing the department shrink."
"You wanna hear my opinion or not?"
"Sorry. Continue." Teresa popped another cupcake in her mouth and leaned forward, resting her head on her palm.
"Looking back on my time with Deena. I should have talked to her more. Leaned on her more. But I didn’t because I was …an idiot. We get used to not feeling, so when we’re with someone that cares, that wants to be the strong one for us – well, it’s a foreign concept. Plain and simple. I see that now. You have a chance to fix this. For me, it’s too late."
"Maybe it isn’t."
Jarek shrugged, "We’re talking about you right now. Teresa, I’ve seen you with her, even when she was nothing more than a reporter following a story – she’s in your head. She’s chipping away at that wall of yours and I give her a helluva lot of credit for challenging you. Look, you’ve spent your whole life chasing your dream and you did it. You are here. Don’t you think your personal life deserves as much focus and attention as your professional life? "
"Yeah, there’s only one big difference though, this job will always be here – in some way, shape, or form. People, they come and go – more often than not, they go."
"Not everyone, Teresa."
"You left. One day we’re partners and the next we weren’t. You left."
"I’m still here, in case you didn’t notice."
"Look, if Tina and I…if we….start something and she leaves or I’m outed – I lose her and the job. Then where does that leave me?"
"Who says it has to turn out that way at all? What if things work out and you can have both?"
"She’s out and I’m not. Period."
"Teresa."
"Jarek, I’ve never been in a relationship that lasted more than a few weeks – never mind a relationship with a woman."
"You mean the rumors…"
"Were just rumors up until this point. I’ve never been with a woman. Hell, I’ve only just kissed Tina. This is new and scary as hell – on a many different levels."
"Well, I can tell you from personal experience that women are great. In fact, they are fantastic."
Teresa laughed and shook her head, "Tina certainly has me wrapped tighter than a drum, that’s for sure. I can’t think straight when she’s around."
"Literally and figuratively."
"Funny, Wysocki."
"So…what are you gonna do?"
"What should I do?"
"Go to her. Apologize for being a jerk. And for cripesakes just tell her how you feel. It’s not rocket science, Colvin. It’s time to breathe a little. Enjoy everything you’ve worked so hard for."
Teresa smiled and shook her head, "You’re something special, you know that?"
"Tell Deena, would you."
"Oh, I suspect she knows."
"So is there anything else?" Jarek smiled and clapped his hands together as they both stood
"Like what?" Teresa cocked her head.
"Like you need any lessons on how to worship the female form?"
"Good Lord, Get the hell out of my office." Teresa laughed. "I think I can manage just fine, thank you."
"So?"
"Yes, I’m gonna talk to her"
"You want me to drop you off? I mean, after a couple of glasses of scotch I’m sure you don’t want to drive and what with you casting aside every driver I seem to find for you…"
"Ugh, give the driver-thing a rest, will you? I’ll get a new driver. I just need time."
"What you need is someone to watch your back – other than me, of course."
The brunette reached out unexpectedly and hugged Jarek, "Thank you," she whispered in the crook of his neck.
"I never left you, Teresa. I never would. And for the record," Jarek pulled back so that he could look into her eyes. "I’ve seen the way she looks at you – that’s a forever kind of look."
Teresa nodded.
"Come on, let’s go. I’m dropping you off in…"
"Wicker Park."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Okay then. Wicker Park it is. Don’t screw this up."
"I’ll try not to."
"And I want details."
"Keep dreaming, Wysocki. I don’t kiss and tell."
"Oh, you’ll be doin’ a lot more than kissing. I can guarantee that."

This is so freakin’ awesome. I just love this story. The dialogue, the mannerisms, everything is just spot on.
Please post asap. I’m dying to find out what happens.

Come on, come on, come on – next post please. Awesome story.
More please!
This REALLY is a great story and I am soo happy that everyone is loving it as much as I am. You are a wonderful writer, scaf. You do such a great job of describing their thoughts, mannerisms, and personality quirks. The reader can actually picture them sitting there in Teresa’s office having this conversation. Once again, wonderful job and thank you soo much for taking on this extraordinary story. PPS!!! :)
Ok, we need the next chapter asap! I’m really loving your story. PPS
Hi scaf … More please?! :-) it’s not right to left it hangin in here…. :-) PPS?! thanks!!
Yeah!!!!! and thank you for a mid week post. You are developing the story and the characters so well — this is much more entertaining than the TV show – at least I don’t think you will be cancelled!! Looking forward to next chapter.
Go and get your girl Tess and you sure need to grovel alot.
This is such a good story. Go get her, Colvin!
Thank u scaf for the update, it is really a struggle for Teresa to deal with her feelings, she is complex, and u do perfect work with her :)Please don’t make us wait too long for the next chapter ;D
How can it be that the one chapter with NO Teresa/Tina interaction is my favorite? Who knew Jarek could be so sweet & actually give Teresa the kick in the pants she needed. It was so sad that Teresa said everyone leaves and used Jarek as an example ( I cried a bit). But onward and upward…. What happens when Teresa reveals her true feelings to Tina? Is Tina a forgiving soul or one to hold a grudge? Post soon… Can’t take suspense ;-)
just caught up and just like many of your readers i freakin love this fic… i havent seen chicago code but i already like Jarek and his humor and the way he treats Teresa with utmost respect and affection. you are definitely a very good writer and im sooo excited for your next post. thanks
Jesus Teresa,go.for it.Thank you for the update.PPS
That was great and glad Wysocki there to have a talk with Teresa, now let see Teresa talk to Tina. Please post more, thanks!
Tell me he is right and they are going to do more? I’m dying out here! PPS
Doesn’t seem to matter how many pages you post… we all want more! ;-)
OMG! I loved their conversation. I could see their characters saying those things. Great dialog Scaf. MORE PLEASE :)
So happy he made her see the light. Now Teresa needs to grovel and crawl if necessary, which I don’t think it will be. Tina is open to the apology, hopefully and will accept it and Teresa with warm, open loving arms and much love and understanding. Thanks for the extra pages it was wonderful to have the length. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Awesome chapter!! I’m dying for the next chapter. PPS!!
more,please~~~
I guess it would be to much to ask for more chappys ok i am selfish. anyway this is one of my fav stories. It was my very favorite tv show. Hey maybe they will pick up your story for a new season! Great chapter as always>
I don’t even need to put my words, every bit of them had been said!!!!
two awesome updates. thank you thank you. So wonderfully written. Love it.
Good God I love this fic! Screw the show, this version is wayyyy betterrrr! Who’da thought Jarek of all people would give such good relationship advice? Lol. I like this Jarek better the TCC Jarek. Both equally as awesome but your Jarek has a more softer side. Love it. Keep it up!
I always thought The Chicago Code needed to delve at least a little bit into Teresa’s personal life, and this story is the perfect fix. Just read from the start today, and I am hooked. Thank you for this story, and please keep the chapters coming.
