Long Lost Daughter

Chapter 65 - Getting away with it...

Mallory heads home that night to see Kelly sitting on the couch with Lucas asleep in his crib next to him.
"Hey" He whispers
Mallory smiles at him before disappearing into the kitchen
"You okay?" Kelly asks as he appears at the door
"I changed his last name" Mallory sighs
"Who's?" Kelly asks
"Lucas's" Mallory smiles
"So he's not Lucas Dawson anymore? Did you change it to Davis? Platt?" Kelly says
"Severide, I changed it to Severide" Mallory adds
"What?" Kelly asks
"You've been more than a father to him than Antonio could ever be" Mallory explains
"I - I'm honoured but I don't deserve it" Kelly explains
"Of course you do Kelly, you've been here! You took us in" Mallory says
"Thank you Mal" Kelly says as he hugs her
Mallory smiled
A few weeks go by, Mallory has been taking...you know...more often. It's become her way to cope, however it's getting to the point that people can notice. She's more irritable, tried and overall she looks like crap. She walks into work
"Davis! Get your ass in here!" Voight yells
"Yeah?" Mallory smiles
"What's going on with you?" He asks
"What do you mean?" Mallory asks as she sits down
"You look like crap for starters" Voight explains
"Lucas hasn't been sleeping all that great, that's all. All I need is for him to get over it" Mallory lies
"Are you sure?" Voight asks
"Positive" Mallory smiles
"Okay...I need you to go undercover with Hailey" Voight explains
An hour later Mallory and Hailey are waiting to do their bust
"You good?" Hailey asks
"Yep" Mallory replies bluntly
Hailey just nods as her radio goes off
"You ready?" Hailey asks as Mallory nods
They both get out the car and walk to the door of the suspect
"Chicago PD!" Mallory yells as they hear gunshots
Hailey and Mallory run in, Hailey tackles the guy and Mallory searches the apartment. She comes across a room filled with coke. She puts on her gloves and grabs a few of the tiny bags. She takes a look before putting them into her pockets
"You good?" Hailey asks
"Yep!" Mallory says, startled
"Was this all the bags? I'm thought there'd be more" Hailey laughs
"Maybe he got some out? But yeah this was all that was here when I ran in" Mallory smiles
"Who would want to take this stuff? It's horrible for your insides" Hailey adds
"I know, especially after everything we see" Mallory laughs, feeling more on edge than before...
