A/N: So I've noticed that Hank Voight doesn't have a lot of his own stories on here. That is a crying shame because that man is hot! I thought I would give us some more background on Hank. Reviews are love.

The Intelligence Unit had just finished their morning briefing when Sergeant Henry Voight's cell phone started playing the song "Let Her Go" by Passenger. Hank had been two steps from his office door. He quickly stepped into his office and shut the door. But not before Dawson and Olinksy had heard the ringtone. Antonio watched through the glass, hoping against hope that his boss would not answer the call. Much to his chagrin, he saw Hank put the phone to his ear and watched the word "Hello" form on his lips. There had been no words playing but Antonio knew the tune as well as Alvin did. He shook his head at the older detective who, after catching the look on Antonio's face, plopped down in his chair and sighed heavily.

"Is your arm hurting?"

Ruzek who had been staring at his computer when Voight's phone rang, thought Alvin was sighing because he was still in pain from having his shoulder dislocated. He had tussled with a suspect last week and the fight had been bad enough that he now had his left arm in a sling.

"Uh, yeah. This damn sling is just so restricting."

They all sat in silence for a moment, looking over their paperwork. A short time later there was a rattle and Alvin turned to look as Voight stepped out of his office. The Sergeant had a searching, wondering look on his face. He looked at Antonio, then Alvin, then at Alvin's arm. Then he looked over at Ruzek.

"Ruzek can I see you in my office for a minute?"

A look of surprise went through Antonio's eyes. He shot the look over to Alvin. Alvin cocked his eyebrow at Antonio as if to say This is weird. Then they both went back to the papers on their desks. They had a lot of things to get in order if Voight was going to be extra crazy today, and go off on some ill-advised mission. One of them would probably be left running the intelligence Unit.

Ruzek was not a bit worried as he stepped into his boss' office and shut the door. He just assumed a CI had called with some information and he would be asked to track something that had happened electronically. But that was not what was happening and the extra serious, half panicked, look on his boss' face made Ruzek stand up straight as he spoke.

"I just got a call from a, ah... another cop. They need help. They're in a situation on 4th street and need me and O to come do some heavy lifting. However, as you know, O can't do any heavy lifting right now. Can I count on you to replace him?"

Ruzek hesitated to answer because "heavy lifting" could only mean so many things. Voight continued,

"Last week you told me that you wanted me to take you more seriously. You said that you could be counted on, that you were a part of this family. Today's the day you get to prove that."

"Okay boss. If you need me I'm there. Where are we going?"

"I'll tell you when we get in the car. Leave my office, get your coat, but leave your cell phone in your desk. I'll have my phone. You go out through the front doors then walk around to the back. I'm going to walk down the back stairs and meet you at my vehicle in a couple of minutes. As far as this office is concerned you're going to meet with a CI, not with me."

Ruzek nodded then stepped out of his boss' office. He went straight to his desk not making eye contact with anyone. He covertly slipped his phone into his top desk drawer as he put his heavy jacket on. As he walked past Alvin's desk to turn and walk down the center aisle, Alvin reached out and grabbed the corner of his coat stopping him.

"Where ya going partner?"

"Boss wants some deeper info on one of our cases. I'm gonna go shake a CI and see if anything falls out."

Alvin paused while looking deep into the younger detective's eyes. He let go of Adam's coat and quietly said,

"Whatever you're going to do... you remember that your boss is your first priority, and sometimes taking care of your boss means talking him out of bad situations. Him being mad at you for the rest of the day is not as bad as him losing his badge. Because if he commits another infraction, he will lose his badge."

Ruzek just nodded then continued walking out of the office. The door to his boss' office had been shut. Ruzek wondered how Alvin had known that the boss was asking him for a big favor.
