calling all cars:

   their relationship, for lack of a better term,  up until this point has been unremarkable. professional  — maggie’s not one to let ties of a personal nature interfere with the job, and while jake knows exactly how to press her buttons, there’s always been something about his lax personality which has kept her wanting to remain in the loop. in his loop, apparently. if she hadn’t she would have transferred out of the joint task force a long time ago. not that she’ll encourage his antics by admitting that. 

   much to her surprise, she’d worried about him while he was away ( away  —  as if he were at summer camp or on a caribbean cruise ) and while she continued to work alongside other members of the nine - nine, she’d always made sure to inquire upon his well-being.    “yeah, I stopped by. wanted to buy you and rosa a drink to celebrate. turns out about ten other people’d already thought of that.” she offers an absent-minded shrug of her shoulders. she’s not much for gestures, but at least she had made an appearance  — long enough to notice one of the guests of honor had ducked out early. her gaze fixes on him for a moment, silently observing as if expecting some visible evidence of his time behind bars, before she’s instead looking out at the sight the city offers.
