a/n:THANK YOU so much for the response the first chapter got. Sixteen reviews, that's AMAZING. So I won't wait any longer in posting chapter number two, hope you guys like it as much as the first one.
a/n: To the guest who left me a review about a story idea, I'll use it as a Burzek one-shot for the next time.
Kim's appartment was a complete mess. Plants were littered across the floor, books scattered everywhere, the bookshelves on the ground. Each step inside revealed more chaos, some of which Adam knew was made by Kim in an attempt to defend herself from the invasion. He moved things around with his foot, not wanting to touch anything. After one last look around for any signs that could tell him what happened exactly, he fished his phone out of his pocket and called the only person that could fix this.
"I need your help." He said into the phone.
It wasn't very long before someone else came inside, Adam jumping at the sound. "Damn, what the hell happened here?" Kevin Atwater asked, coming to stand next to him.
"Don't touch anything." Both turned at the sound of Voight's voice. "Do you know what happened?"
"Nah." Adam sighed. "She insisted I go to Molly's. I should have stayed with her." Both Voight and Atwater knew Adam was blaming himself right now.
"Are you good?" Voight placed a hand on Adam's shoulder, feeling bad for him in that moment. Sure he had been tough on him when he returned from his undercover assignment but he didn't wish what was happening on anyone.
"I'm good." He extended his hand and Atwater put some gloves in his hands, knowing his friend would do everything in his power to find his girl.
So all three started moving things around carefully to find any kind of clue as to where she had been taken or a note of some kind, asking for some money but there was nothing. The rest of Intelligence made it to Kim's place in no time and it was now a full on investigation for the unit. Voight called his contact in forensics and soon the place was filled with them, trying to find prints on various items, including the door and windows.
Hours later, most of everyone was gone again and only Intelligence was left on scene. "Do you remember seeing anyone suspiscious at all on your way to and from Molly's?" Lindsay asked sympathetically.
"No."
"Try thinking of anything that you think could be important." She prodded gently.
"I can't think of anything." His mind came up blank and part of the evening was even fuzzy. "All I remember is that I locked the door on my way out."
"Anything else?"
"NOTHING." He finally yelled, making the contents of the kitchen table flying to the ground,shatering in pieces, Adam slamming his fists against the hard surface of the table. "I should have stayed with her alright." He said anger taking him over. "She was shaken and she insisted I go to Molly's and I didn't argue with her. I should have pushed harder to stay with her."
"Don't beat yourself up Ruzek, we'll find her." Atwater put a conforting hand on his shoulder. He had to be strong too because his best friend was missing and they needed to find her.
Lyndsay started picking up what Adam had propelled to the ground. She tried to view this as a cop and keep her mind clear but this wasn't just any crime scene. Kim was her friend too and with each piece she picked, the pang in her heart grew and so did the anger at the situation and she was dertermined more than ever to find Kim for all their sake's and most of all for Adam's. She could already see that this was hitting him like a ton of bricks, the love he had for Kim as strong, if not more than prior to their break-up.
"Ok so I want everyone to interview every single person in the building and I don't want any cracks in this investigation, are we clear?" Everyone nodded and did what they had to do. "Adam, you're with me." He stopped him from the thick of it for now, his feelings too raw right now.
"Let me interview people sarge, I'm fine."
"I said you're with me." He didn't leave any place for debate and Adam followed him to the ground floor where they looked for the ganitor, trying to look for surveillance that they could look at for any clues. They two were taken in the electrical room where the pannel and surveillance equipment was and the man left to leave the two to look at the tapes. Adam was always good with these things so he poked around in the system and foud footage of outside the building during the afternoon. "Fast forward it to about the time you left for Molly's." That was actually one of the last thing time wise that he could remember.
"Here it is." Adam said but suddenly the image was filled with static and white noise.
"What's going on?" Sargent Voight looked at Adam but just one look at him told him that there was no image.
"This was pre-meditated." Adam growled. "They watched her while I was gone, as if she was prey."
"Don't go into what if's Ruzek, it's not helping Burgess right now."
"We have NOTHING sarge. They left us with a big Fuck you." Adam was angry at himself. He had acted as a coward by running away after Kim was brought up to intelligence and they had taken advantage of it to take her.
"You don't know that Adam. We have to wait for results on the prints they found. We'll have more answers in the morning." Voight guided Adam back outside where the rest of the unit were waiting for them. "Did you get everyone?" He asked his team.
"Everyone sarge." Atwater confirmed.
"Alright, let's take everything back to 21st and see where we go from there." Voight guided Adam to his truck, not trusting him mindset right now, both Atwater and Lindsay staying behind.
"We gotta find her quick."
"For her's and Adam's sake." Lindsay sighed and patted him on the shoulder as they got in their cars and drove towards the district.
Atwater's mind was as tormented as Adam's and the atmosphere in the bullpen was heavy. Atwater was on the phone with tech support, trying to find a way to recover something from the tapes, if anything that they could use to get an ID on someone that shouldn't have been there. Linday and Halstead were setting the board up with everyone who was at the apartment and their whereabouts when it happened.
"What about the pods that are on the street? Once of them must give us another angle on the building." Olynski added from his chair, his eyes trained on Kim's desk that was facing his.
"Alright Atwater, get tech on that, yesterday. We need to find Burgess now." Voight left them and slammed his door shut, surprising more than one member of his team. He sat at his desk and took the phone, calling Platt downstairs. "Trudy." He started. "I know, it's not looking good." Their only hope now was that prints came back with something and that the pods from across the street. "I need to you look through the cameras around 21st and see if anyone filed a complaint against Burgess. We have to turn every rock we can to find her. Thanks Trudy." He hung up and went back out to the bullpen again to see what his team had manage to find.
"Ok so tech wasn't able to recover much but we know they were three suspects." Erin tapped a blurry image of three figures dressed in black and a fourth dressed in a light colour, everyone knowing that was Kim.
"And the pods from that particular block came back with nothing which means that they've studied the pods and they've managed to move around them so they wouldn't get caught." Jay pointed out.
"Or they have someone on the inside." Everyone looked at Olynski with a frown.
"That's not possible." Adam couldn't believe that someone from PD would do that to their own.
"We have to consider all the different possibilities, no exception." Voight agreed.
While the Intelligence Unit and the heads of 21st were at work, in a small building in the most dangerous part of Chicago, four people were holed up in a musty room with uneven lighting.
"This wasn't supposed to go down like this." Once of the men hissed.
"It's too late now, it's done." Whispered harshly another one.
"Enough." Growled the third.
The ringing in her ears was head splitting as she came to her senses. She could hear muffled sounds coming from the other corner of the room but she couldn't make out how many people were there. Blackness surrounded her but she could feel the handcuffs on her wrists and the rope that was binding her legs to the chair she was sitting on as well as the one that was holding her chest in place. A strangled moan escaped her lips, making all three men turn.
"Finally, she's awake."
a/n: Thought I'd leave it up in the air again mouahaha. Please take a few seconds to leave a review, I really like to know what your thoughts are. - Sarra
