This is the first part of a three part fanfic. I hope you like it!


"Please tell me you have seen the new Star Wars trailer". Halstead asked his partner as he used the bolt cutter to cut the padlock that hold the gate closed.

"Nope". Erin watched the padlock fall to the ground and quietly pushed the gate open. They were following a tip from one of Voight's CIs but the warehouse looked empty. "Wait. Is there a new Star Wars movie?"

"Oh my God. My partner lives under a rock". Jay made an incredulous face and started walking towards the door.

"Shut up. I just don`t have much free time".

"Hey I work just as much as you do and I still know that they are making a new Star Wars movie".

"Nerd".

"Workaholic". Jay scoffed.

"All I am saying is that ...". Lindsay trailed off as they heard a small noise inside the warehouse as they approached the door. "We should call it in". She whispered.

"It looks empty. It could be nothing".

"It could be something".

"Let`s just take a look first".

After a brief debating moment Erin nodded her head and took her gun out of the holster. Jay mimicked her and with his other hand turned the metal knob. The door slid open easily.

Both detectives entered the warehouse slowly and quietly. From the inside it looked very plain and normal. There were a few rows of brown boxes loaded on pallets and a forklift truck. No one was around. Erin made her way to the first aisle and Jay followed her.

"Wasn`t it shut down by the government? Shouldn`t it be completely empty?". Jay whispered while eyeing the brown boxes.

"Yes it should". Erin free hand ran over one of the boxes. "Let`s get out and warn Voight".

Jay felt the cold metal of the pistol on the back of his neck one second before he heard the low voice behind him. "Drop your weapons".

Not putting his gun down his eyes frantically searched for Lindsay. Without moving too much he could see that she was in a mirrored situation: frozen with a gun pointed directly to her head. This was bad. How could they get jumped? How did they not see it coming?

"You're making a mistake". Jay warned hoping that he could use their status as cops to get out of the situation.

"You don`t want to do this. We're CPD". Erin seemed to read his thoughts.

"I don`t care. DROP IT". The voice sounded again from behind Jay, this time more commanding.

Lindsay reacted first, putting the safety on and slowly crouching to put her Glock on the floor. The sound of the heavy metal connecting with the concrete reverberated thought the warehouse sending a chill down Jay's spine.

The man holding the gun to his neck spoke again. "Good girl. Now your turn".

After a few tense seconds Jay finally managed to crouch and release his fingers from the Glock. As he rose to his feet again he felt the man remove the gun from his neck. After waiting a few cautious seconds Jay slowly turned around, his hands up on the air to not seem threatening.

There were three man dressed in plain dark clothes. They all looked distinctly foreign but Jay could not discern an accent from the man that spoke to him. All had blue eyes and fair hair. Maybe Russians? Europeans? To Jay's dismay they all looked professional.

One of the men kept a good distance pointing a M4 carbine in their general direction. He seemed tense and ready to shoot. The other one was still pointing a gun at Erin's head. He was really big. Big as in UFC-heavyweight-big. The one who spoke was smaller than the other two but seemed to be on command. He gave a nod to the big UFC one and the man put his gun away.

Erin turned around with her hands in the air mimicking Jay. Before both of them could get any funny ideas the third man pointed the M4 directly at them. That was a warning: move and I'll shoot.

Without saying anything the larger man started to roughly pat Jay down looking for concealed weapons. After not finding any he smashed Jay's phone one the ground, took his wallet and started to search Erin. His hands traveled her lithe body staying a little too long on some places. Jay could sense that she was fighting hard with her temper to not react.

After finishing the man crashed her phone with his boot, took her wallet and closed the distance between them whispering sweetly on her ear. "Enjoying it darling?".

Lindsay in a very Lindsay-fashion harshly pushed the guy away from her and snarled. "Fuck you, asshole".

The man's face instantly got red and he seemed ready to charge but before he could react the smaller man intervened. "Did you call for back up?".

The question was directed at Jay but he remained emotionless. Erin and the big guy seemed to be on a defying staring contest. The man asking the questions gave a signal with his head and in an instant the larger one grabbed Erin's wrist, pulled her to his chest one pushed his gun hard against her temple making her flinch.

The smaller one looked directly at Jay and spoke a second time. "Let me ask again. Did you call for back up before entering the building?".

Jay used all of his self-restraint to not punch the man right there. He opted for lying. "Yes".

"Great to know. Now let`s take a walk gentleman… and lady".

He walked towards a rusty metal door on the end of the warehouse. Before Jay could protest the M4 guy walked behind him pointing the gun to his back.

"I'm serious man. You don`t want to do this. Let us go now". Jay tried to argue again but only felt a push from the gun on his back.

"Move and you're dead". The M4 man warned with a low voice. No distinguished accent either.

Erin and Jay traded a look and silently decided to obey and keep quiet for now as they were clearly outmatched. They also had no information about the enemy. They were completely blind. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The UFC guy took a plastic wrap from his pocket and cuffed Erin's wrists together. He did the same to Jay's. It was uncomfortably tight and already started hurting their skin.

Jay exchanged another quick look with Erin. She seemed calmer and more collected than him on the exterior but he knew her enough to understand that it was a façade. He could see in her eyes the same panic that he was feeling. They did not call for back up before entering the warehouse and it would take a while for Voight to notice that something was not right.

The UFC guy grabbed Jay and Erin's arm, one on each hand, and began roughly dragging them towards the rusty door where the smaller man was waiting for them. After knocking two times he opened the door and entered the room followed by the UFC man dragging both detectives. The M4 guy stayed outside.

The room they entered was spacious and had only a small metal desk with four metal chairs on the middle. There was a man seating at it looking at some blue prints and laptop. He looked up at the interruption. He seemed older than the other guys and he was dressed with expensive and formal clothes. Jay noticed that he also seemed foreigner with the same blue eyes and fair hair.

"Look what I found lurking around, boss". The smaller man kicked Jay's legs and he fell to the ground ungracefully landing on his knees. The big guy did the same to Erin and she also fell to her knees.

The older man got up from his chair and walked towards the incomers. He was smiling somberly. The smaller man handed him the detective's wallets.

"Well, hello there…". He opened each wallet and read the information inside. "Detectives Halstead and Lindsay from the CPD intelligence unit. What a pleasure".

He proceeded to throw the wallets away at the metal table and positioned himself right in front of the hostages. He moved his hand thought his sleeked back hair.

"They say they already called for back up so I recommend moving this operation elsewhere as soon as possible, boss. Even if they're lying there's a chance someone will notice their absence and would come looking". The smaller man commented.

"Alright. Prepare everything, Matei. We're leaving in 5".

The small man nodded and left the room leaving the two detectives with the UFC guy and the boss.

"I'm curious. How did you get here? Who gave you this address? What were you after?". He asked them with amused eyes. This situation was clearly entertaining for him.

Jay and Erin remained quiet knowing that this was probably going to end badly. What should they say? Lie? The truth?

"Not going to talk to me? That`s rude". He gave a small nod and the UFC guy forcibly got Jay to his feet holding him by his arm. Jay tried to squirm out of the man's grasp but he was too strong. The movements only made the plastic restrainers hurt more the skin on his wrists.

"We know nothing about you or your operation here". Erin offered before they could do any damage to Jay. Getting beat up was not going to help them now. Maybe a truthful answer would satisfy the man. Just maybe. "We were just following some CI's tip and ended up here. It's all just an unfortunate coincidence".

The man clicked his thong loudly and smirked in her direction. "Too bad for you that I don`t believe in coincidences".

"You seem like a smart man so think for a second. Do you really believe that we would enter here without the SWAT team if we knew that we would find you guys inside? We're police but we're not crazy". Lindsay tried to reason with him, her raspy voice sounding imposing.

"This could be a trap. Getting in here and making us confess something. Are they wearing any wires or tracers?".

The UFC man spoke for the first time that evening. "We didn't find anything but we also don't have any detector here to make sure".

"Humm. Take your belts, badges, bulletproof vests and shoes off please. And empty your pockets". The man commanded.

Jay and Erin did as he asked. The UFC men picket the discarded items from the ground, took it all outside and came back. The older man seemed satisfied for an instant before he resumed his questioning. "What's your CI name? What case are you investigating?"

The detectives shared a look. They could not give the CI real name or any other information about the drug case they were investigating. If the man indeed had any connection to the cartel they were after this could go south any second. They would have to lie.

"They call him Goose but his name is Pete Mitchell". Jay invented using the first names that came to his mind. Thank you Top Gun. "He gave us this address saying that there was some word on the street about something going down here. That`s all we know".

The man sighted loudly. "Sure it is. No one knows about this place so if I were you I would reconsider my answer quickly, Mr. Halstead. I'm not a man of patience and this is the last time I'm asking nicely".

"Look, the CI is not important. We were just chasing a lead as my partner already told you so if you don't want any trouble with the Chicago Police Department I advise you to let us go right now". Jay changed tactics making his voice sound more commanding and powerful. Maybe they should play the intimidation card.

He only realized this was a wrong move when the boss punched him straight on his stomach.

Jay recovered quickly and spat at the man. "Screw you". They could try and beat it out of him but he was not going to collaborate willingly in any manner. Maybe he could distract them long enough so Erin could create a plan to get them out of there.

The man smiled amused as if he was not expecting anything different. The UFC guy let go of Jay's arm and quickly punched him hard on his ribs. Jay was not expecting such a strong blow and his eyes watered as he felt a sharp pain and heard a loud cracking noise. This was so much worst than the first punch. He immediately fell to the floor on his knees hissing in pain. The man had broken some of his ribs with a single well-directed punch. Before Jay could recover the UFC man hit him again on the same spot with another astonishing hard blow that made him see stars.

That guy was no joke. He knew exactly were to hit and his punch was as strong as being hit with concrete block.

Halstead heard some shouting and commotion as Erin probably tried to get up and fight the UFC guy but Jay was focusing on his pain and on breathing. Each breath hurt like hell. Once it subdued a little he was able to focus again on boss man in front of him.

"You think you are a tough man, right?". He asked Jay. "I can see by the way you act that you've been in the army. Correct? So you think that you can handle anything, any pain I can inflict on you".

Jay remained quiet, his jaw locked. He could see that the UFC man was forcibly making Erin knee again to the floor, her wrists still behind her back. She seemed unharmed so Jay focused on the man in front of him.

"I've met brave man before, Mr. Halstead. And I'm sorry to break it to you but every single one of them had a weakness I could exploit". His eyes moved quickly to the only woman in the room. "And I have a sense I already know what your weakness is".

Before Jay could react the UFC man punched Erin hard on her right temple. Her head was thrown to the side and she immediately fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Jay saw red and tried to get up shouting obscenities at everyone but the boss man was already at his side pressing a handgun to his cracked ribs and making him stay down.

The UFC guy grabbed Erin by her hair and made her stand on her knees again. She looked around a little disoriented as the incredibly hard punch had almost knocked her out of it. There was a small but deep laceration at her eyebrow where the punch had landed that was bleeding profusely. The man took a hunting knife from his belt and pressed it to Erin's blooded cheek.

"We wouldn't want to mess more with such a beautiful face, right Mr. Halstead?".

"No". Jay answered almost breathless knowing how to pick his battles.

"Now that we understand each other, tell me how you got this address".

Before Jay could speak again he heard two knocks on the door followed by the small man called Matei entering the room. He didn't even spare a look on the detective's direction.

"We should go now boss. Everything is ready".

The boss nodded at Matei and somberly smiled at the detectives. "Take them out, Yoel".

Before Jay could even process what was happening he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck and he blacked out.
