Early History

"So, late one night, I'm coming back from a tactical training course at the academy The moon was bright as hell that night, I remember I unlock my door and I hear this sound coming from the roof. So I look up , then suddenly, there's Severide rappelling down from my skylight singing Sinatra's This Love Of Mine with a rose in his mouth. He'd been mooing over me for weeks".
