That guy named DeAngelo

I felt a tapping on my shoulder and some yelling.

"SARAH! WAKE UP! YOU'RE SLEEPING ON THE JOB!" Trudy said yelling.

"I just fell asleep for five minutes." I said yawing.

"Either go get some coffee or go home." Trudy said.

"Okay boss, I'll get some coffee."

I had a long night after I left Molly's bar. I went to Kelly's house and we just talked for hours until I had to hurry up and head into work. I'm so tired. Coffee time.

"Late night?" Roman said walking into the office. I was currently writing up police reports from the previous day.

"Yes, very long. I think I've been up since 4:30 am yesterday morning." I said rolling my eyes.

"Go home and rest. I can cover your shift." Roman said.

"I'll be good. I'll get some coffee in me and finish these reports and then head to patrol."

"Okay, you better go home after your shift though." Roman said walking away to head to his squad car.

"I will Roman. Thanks!" I said getting up and getting coffee.

I walked into the break room to get coffee.

"So, how was your night?" Kim said winking.

"We just talked all night. Nothing else women." I said laughing.

"Suuuuure."

"I'm being serious."

"Well, sooner or later it'll happen." Kim said laughing. "Hurry up and finish those reports so you can patrol with me."

"Patrol with Roman. I'm taking my time to write a detailed report in case I have to be summoned to court." I said.

"Alright. I'll see you later if you go onto patrol." Kim said leaving the room.

I grabbed my coffee and went back to my desk where Onyx was just laying down with his dog toy in his mouth sleeping. Ruff life I guess.

*Kat's POV 11 a.m.*

I was currently at Patrick Kane's house sitting on the couch cuddling up next to him.

"What are you staring at?" I asked.

"I'm just admiring your beauty." Kane said with a shit ass grin.

"You're cheesy as fuck." Kat said laughing.

"It's true though."

"So babe, on a serious note." I said.

"What?" Kane said all big eyed.

"Do you think we should come out as a couple? I mean we've been dating for over six months now."

"I mean we could. I just don't want the crazy fans attacking you or anything, because you're dating me."

"I can handle myself." I said flipping my hair.

"I mean if anything, I can let my body guard follow you around when you're alone."

"Patrick! I'll be fine." I said getting up to get some coffee from the coffee maker.

"I'm fine with anything. I'm sure sooner or later the cat will be out of the bag. I'm sure there's fans who already know we're dating." Kane said shrugging.

"Well, I already told my girls, but that's about it." I said handing Patrick a cup of coffee. "Does your team even know?"

"Yeah, they all know that I am dating you. I can't hide that type of information from them, especially Toews! Toews knows everything." Kane said laughing.

"Captains know everything." I said rolling my eyes.

"You got that right. I think maybe we should just come out. We can hold each others hands in public. We can just be ourselves instead of hiding it." Kane said.

"Sounds good to me babe." I said smiling.

"I better start to get ready to head to Nashville. I'll see you tonight babe." Patrick said kissing my cheek.

"Quick question?" I asked.

"Yes, go a head."

"Can I get a couple of tickets for games three and four?" I wanted to ask because I want to bring my friends with me.

"I'll pull some strings for you." Patrick said walking into his bedroom to pack for the Nashville trip.

*My POV*

I just got down writing my reports and turned them into chain of custody/evidence. Well, now that's done, I should go patrol the streets of Chicago.

"Come on Onyx, it's time to head to the squad car." I said putting on the leash.

I walked into the main lobby and Trudy stopped me.

"You get those reports done?" Trudy asked.

"Yes, I turned them into chain of custody/evidence Sergeant." I said smiling.

"You better have."

"I did. Now, can I head to patrol?" I asked starting to get stern.

"Yeah, go kick some ass out there." Trudy said smiling.

"Will do Sergeant." I said finally heading to my car.

"Well, Onyx you think we're going to find bad guys today?" I asked him.

Onyx just started barking.

"I'm taking that as a yes." I said chuckling.

Today I was assigned to patrol down by Michigan Avenue, Wacker Drive, Vanburen Street, Magnificent Mile, and all the surrounding streets in the same vicinity. The hosh-posh area of Chicago where the rich would drop tons of money on the merchandise. Not my type of people. Also, the type of people who probably are some type of criminal in a way.

I parked my car and got out with Onyx. We started walking down Michigan Avenue first. It was a beautiful day out. It wasn't raining for a spring day temperatures at around 65 degrees. My kind of weather.

Onyx had his snoot straight up in the air sniffing.

"You got something boy?" I asked him.

He picked up his pace even more now. He is definitely onto a lead at this point. He then stopped and started barking. He's got something. He stopped at a flower pot that had some flowers blooming already. I put on my gloves and moved the flowers and there was a spot in the dirt that looked touched. I started to move some of the dirt around. I found a kilo of what seemed to be marijuana.

"Who's a good boy!" I gave Onyx a tennis ball as a reward to chew on.

I think someone was going to make a drug deal soon.

I called in my department.

"Sergeant I think we need to get more patrol on Michigan Avenue. Onyx found a kilo of marijuana in the flower pots. I think there might be a possible drug deal going down soon. I couldn't tell you when or what time it'll happen, but I think we should keep an extra eye out just in case we catch it in the act." I said.

"Roman and Burgess can cover the extra hands on this one. You can write a report and then head home. You've worked enough in the past two days." Trudy said.

"Alright. Sounds good Sergeant. I'll write my report and then go home and get some rest." I said.

Sometimes the reports can be tedious. The only down part of this job, but otherwise I love it. Well, let's get this report done so I can be home to watch the Hawks playoff game.

*Matt's POV*

My phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Matt can you make it to Nashville by 7 p.m. tonight?" Coach Q said on the other line.

"Yeah, I can take a plane there. Why?" I asked.

"Artem Anisimov went down on a injury earlier in practice. Can you fill in for him tonight?" Coach Q asked.

"Yeah, I'd gladly take the opportunity to fill in his place tonight. I'll try and get there a little sooner to catch pregame warm ups!"

"See you tonight." Coach Q said hanging up the phone.

Yes! I'm finally getting the opportunity to play in my first NHL game. And it's game one of the playoffs for the Chicago Blackhawks. I got to show Quenneville that I can be part of this team. I left the Johnny's Ice House to head home and gather all my stuff before I go to Midway airport.

*Pregame 6:30 p.m.*

I put on my white Hawks jersey with my last name on it. Man, this is really starting to hit me that I'm playing my first NHL playoff game. I was taking my first step on Nashville's home ice. It was so surreal to witness.

"You ready for this?" Jonathon Toews asked me.

"Yeah, I am ready for this." I said all hyped up.

"Don't be over hyped though. You got to keep that composer." Toews said.

"Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind." I've always looked up to Toews. So, I definitely appreciate the advice he gives me.

~Puck drop~

I was out on the second line filling on Arty's spot at center. I took my first draw at center ice. A win.
The puck went back to Marian Hossa, Marian Hossa passes it to Duncan Keith, Duncan Keith passes it to Artemi Panarin, Panarin shoots for the net. He scoooooores! The crowd boos as the Hawks go up against the Nashville Preds.

Blackhawks up 1-0 with 10:33 remaining of the first. I headed to the bench after my first shift in the game. I got a pat on the back by Coach Q. Pretty good for the first shift.

The buzzard went off to indicate the end of the first period. The period was 1-0 Hawks at first intermission.

The lockerroom was a positive atmosphere. Jonathon Toews stood up and started talking, "Alright guys we got to keep this going. Don't take stupid penalties. Try to get on the score board. We want that cushion lead tonight. Let's go out there and do it."

Everyone cheered. I could get use to this.

The buzzard went off and we headed down the tunnel for the second period. The fans were really starting to get rowdy.

2nd period started. I took the draw to open the second period. A Loss. The puck ended up going to PK Subban. Subban out skating myself and Patrick Kane. He is such a good defense men. Subban missed the net. I get the rebound and skate back towards the neutral zone. I hand the puck off to Panarin. Panarin shoots the puck towards Kane. Kane shoots, but misses. Pekka goes behind net and shoots the puck to center ice. Damn. The preds take possession of the puck and brings into our zone. They shoot for the net, and it slips right past Crawford. The whole crowd goes wild. Catfish get thrown onto the ice. I head back to the bench. Fuck.

The period is now 1-1 with 15:20 left in the second period. We still have a lot of time left.

Before you know it we're heading into OT. The current score is 2-2.

Brent Seabrook handles the puck down neutral ice. He passes the puck to Duncan Keith. Keith takes it into the preds zone. Keith hands me the puck and I weave through two preds players and I shoot the puck. It goes past Pekka Rinne. HAWKS WIN!

The whole bench comes skating out giving me head butts to the helmet. Wow, is this really happening to me right now?

*My POV*

I arrived home and Onyx started barking like crazy. What is he barking at? Burglar? Jam? Ashley maybe? I got out of my car very cautiously and grabbed Onyx. I walked to my front door and saw a man.

"Kelly?" I asked confused.

"Yeah. I wanted to come and see you." Kelly said smiling.

"How did you know where I live?" I said suspiciously.

"Herrmann did." Kelly said.

"Oh okay. I just hope you're not stalking me." I said laughing.

"No, I'm definitely not stalking you." Kelly said laughing.

"Good. I sure hope not." I said laughing. "Well, come in. Would you like to join me for the Hawks game?" I asked.

"Yeah, I would like that very much." Kelly said smiling.

I opened the front and door.

"God dammit Jam!" I said slamming the door. "Why, do you have all the lights off and why are you in my house right now?"

"I didn't mean to scare you. I was just trying to sleep on your couch."

"You have your own house though! I mean Ashley and you are roommates." I was getting mad, because I just want to watch the Hawks and enjoy myself.

"Ashley was having a butt buddy over, and I didn't want to hear them go at it all night." Jam said shrugging.

"I guess you can stay on my couch, but question why are you going to sleep during a Hawks game?" I asked confused.

"Well, when you work for an IT department you never know how long you're going to be working." Jam said.

"I sure know that feeling." I said rolling my eyes. "Well, Kelly and I will just watch the game upstairs and try not to be too loud." I said pulling Kelly's hand up the stairs.

We went upstairs and I turned on the flat screen tv.

"I am so sorry about my friend. I gave her a key to my house, and sometimes she comes unannounced." I said.

"No, you're fine. We'll just keep it quiet." Kelly said smiling. "So, who's your guy on the Hawks?"

"Scott Darling."

"He's got nothing on me." Kelly said smirking. I threw a pillow at his head.

"Shut up!" I said laughing.

"Besides why do you even like a backup goal tender?" Kelly asked.

"He's got a lot of potential to be a starting goalie. He has a lot of promise." I said.

"That's a good explanation." Kelly said.

Kelly laid down on my bed with Onyx.

"I'm going to take a quick shower, because a 18 hour shift makes a girl stinky." I said laughing.

"Yeah, take your time. I'm in no rush. I'll order us some pizza for dinner."

"Pineapple pizza!" I yelled from the bathroom door.

"Alright, that's an interesting choice for pizza." Kelly said laughing.

"What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Oh nothing."

I closed my bathroom door. I love my hot showers so much.

Kelly went downstairs to go ask Jam if she wanted some pizza.

"Jamila, I hate to wake you, but would you like some pizza?" Kelly asked.

"Hell yeah, I want some pizza." Jam said.

"What type of pizza do you want?" Kelly asked.

"I'll take some sausage pizza. Thank you." Jam said.

"You're welcome." Kelly said walking away to order in the pizza.

I got out of the shower and I put on some more comfortable clothes. I walked out and the pizza was sitting out on my table in my room.

"You're just in time." Kelly said handing me a plate.

"Thanks kind sir."

"You're welcome."

"Did I miss any of the game?" I asked not knowing how long I showered for.

"Just about five minutes of the game, but no one scored."

"That's very good!" I sat down. Wait a second number 24 on the Hawks? Who's that?????

"Who's the number 24 guy?" I asked.

"DeAngelo. That's what the back of the jersey says." Kelly said.

"No waaaaay."

"What?" Kelly asked confused.

"That's my friend Matt! He's been playing for the Icehogs hoping to make it to the NHL."

"Wow, you know someone famous." Kelly said laughing.

"I guess so." I said laughing.

Pat Foley yells Bread man scooooores!

I yelled and cheered after Bread man scores. Shit. I forgot I got to keep quiet.

"You know you're suppose to be quiet." Kelly said.

"I forgot." I said frowning.

"I know a way to keep you quiet."

"Oh really now?"

Kelly kissed me.

"Yeah, that will definitely keep me quiet." I said laughing.

Kelly and I just watched the Hawks game. I started to doze off into the second period.

"YES!" Kelly said yelling. I woke up to him yelling that the Hawks score. I looked up at the tv and the Hawks won in OT.

"Well, look at that your friend Matt scored the GWG." Kelly said.

"I'm happy for him. Hopefully, it'll mean Coach Q will give him more shots on the team." I said.

The Hawks game ended and I was yawing like crazy.

"I think it's time for me to head to bed." I said.

"You definitely need it." Kelly said. "I'll let you sleep. I'm going to head home."

"No, you can stay." I said insisting.

"Alright, that sounds good to me." Kelly said getting up to head to the bathroom.

Onyx jumped on my bed and I gave him a hug.

"You like Kelly?" I asked Onyx. He just wagged his tail.

"I'm taking it as a yes." I said smirking.

Well, maybe this might be a good thing for myself. I think this relationship might work.
