Jake was thrilled, to say the least, when Holt asked him to go with the new officer on a stakeout. Why? Well, for one, he loves to get to know his peers. And two... well, you're attractive. And he's a sucker for good-looking people. So, he agreed. Obviously. And here you were, sitting in one of the disguised NYPD cars, with Jake. It wasn't like you two hadn't spoken before, it's been a week or two since your first day, so you've conversed. But, he's been refraining from making a flirty remark until now. With a friendly and light conversation flowing, he decided to take the opportunity.
"Y'know, I'm starting to think you asked Holt to recruit me for this. You're enjoying this a lot." He joked, and you shocked him with the response.
"Maybe. But I bet you were praying Holt would ask. Y'know, because you're enjoying this a lot." Using his own words against him? He was speechless (and flustered, but he's too prideful to admit that).
"Did I finally meet my match when it comes to comebacks?" He says playfully, trying to hide the surprise in his voice.
