With the baby being fed by Erin, the crew met up in the office, where they had to combine two cases at the time.
It was hard to focus on Voights speech, cause everyone stared at the little human, who was laying on Erins lap, while he sucked milk from a bottle.
"Well, Ruzek would you mind looking at me? I know the kid seems to be more interesting than my face but we still have a job to do", Voight made everyone laugh, before he continued speaking.
"As far as we all know the kid will stay here till it stops snowing and as hard as it sounds but we have to find the mother. Maybe child service will get him anyway, but we all live in Illinois, which means a kid can be dropped at some police station, fire department or hospital only till 30 days after birth. Paramedics said the kid is between 3 or 5 month. So her right is gone and she can be punished for dropping him."
His speech was interrupted by Lindsay who stopped feeding, because the little boy started to scream again.
"Shhhh..Don't cry honey. There's no need to be scared. Everyone is looking out for you", Erin soothed him, while walking to the room, when her eyes meet with Halsteads, who watched her with a smile, obviously adoring her maternal side.
"Sarge, shall we give him a name? I mean, the baby might stay here for the next days. We eventually have a special relationship to him", Ruzek asked, but as soon as he ended his question was denied by Olinsky.
"I don't think it's a good idea. Finally it's like raising a kid. The more details you know and add in its life, the more personal the relationship gets. And you don't have to forget that he only stays here for a few days."
"Olinsky might be right. Giving our best is all we can do. The more we add, the harder it gets to say good bye."
"What do we know about pedestrians? Any investigations about witnesses?", Antonio questioned when Lindsay raised her voice, still trying to calm down the baby.
"He was probably left between 4 or 5 and was found by Burgess. Her shift started at 6. The blizzard was still going on, so there were just a few people on the street. The mother left him in a basket at the upper steps, where it's sheltered. She wanted to make sure that he keeps alive", Erin whispered while she watched him closing his eyes, while she stroked his forehead.
"Honestly Voight. I've seen such a case ten years ago, when a kids was dropped at firehouse 51. His mum was never found. He became adopted a few weeks later", Dawson mentioned when he was interrupted by Halstead.
"Antonio might be right. Seriously Sarge, even if we find the mother. What are we really gonna to do? Shall we put her in handcuffs because she left us the baby instead of killing the kid? It could be any one on the street. Probably his mum is a drug addict or some gang member around 16. And she just wanted the best for him."
"Abandonment is Abandonment. We don't arrest her for a cry for help. We arrest her for dropping a 12 weeks old. Icouldn't even drop Justin, when he puked in my brand new car. Just saying. Where the hell are we getting, if we leave every kid who is nerve wrecking?", Voight shouted, when Ruzek added some information.
"Parents even brought 12 years old in, before the law was skipped in Idaho and reduced to 30 days. Safe heaven didn't made a limit before."
"Fact is we have to find the mum and care for the baby at the same time. Everyone must do their best to solve this case as quickly as possible. Alvin, you take Ruzek to interview some pedestrians in this area, you walk around the houses. Lindsay, you and Halstead gonna watch the kid and replace each other. Let's get it started. Now!"
