Andy and Oliver headed to one of Anton's countless businesses in the city they knew if Anton came back into town that would be the first place he would go. So they parked in a nearby alley where they could still see the building as people came and went

"Jerry was able to get us a warrant"

"Ok"

"I'll stay in the car in case she runs"

"Got it"

Andy gets out of the car and walks to back door of the bar and kicks it in

"Emily Starling I have a warrant for your arrest"

"What are the charges?"

"Accounting fraud"

"What no those are bogus"

"Stand up please?"

She got the around one of her wrists but before she could get the other wrapped around Emily head butted Andy and bolted out the door

"Oliver she's running"

"Copy that"

Oliver began to run after her

"Andy call for backup"

"Copy that"

"Dispatch 1519 requesting backup at 2077 Armstrong "

"Copy that 1519 attention all units 1519 requesting backup t 2077 Armstrong"

"1505 responding"

"Copy that 1505"

"1519 1505 is in route"

"Roger that"

"Oliver Sam's on his way"

"Copy"

"I'll try to cut her off'"

"Copy Harrison and 21"

"Got it"

Andy ran out the door to help Oliver

15 minutes later...

Sam pulls up to the scene

"Dispatch what is the 20 of Shaw and Swarek'

"Harrison and 21 be warned suspect is combative "

"Copy "

"Swarek I'm on my way"

"Copy Shaw and I are rounding the corner of 21"

"Be there in 10"e

"Hurry"

Sam got out of the car and ran as fast as his legs would take him he got a few blocks down and saw Andy and Oliver struggling with Emily

"Emily quit fighting them this is for your own good"

Sam took Andy's place and grabbed Emily's arm

"Own good my ass let go of me Sammy"

"Nope watch your head"

He put her in his squad car

"Oliver I'm gonna ride back with Sam"

"Ok"

Oliver got back in their car and sped away

"Babe let's go"

"Comin"

She got in the car and they drove off

"So what's the deal Sammy what's with the cuffs?"

Anton may be after you"

"I need to go home to get my Insurance"

"No Emily you know as well as I do that is the first place he will look for you"

"Sam"

"No Emily it's too dangerous

"What? What insurance? What are you talking about?"

"I have a flash drive with all of Anton's records on it

"Officer McNally and I will go get it but right now we need to get you somewhere safe"

"What about my money"

"You'll get it"

"Where are we going to take her?"

"To Another informant Ruben he'll keep her safe

They dropped her off at Ruben's

"We have to go somewhere"

"Where?"

"My undercover apartment"

15 minutes later...

They pull into the parking lot and run up the stairs to his place where he ripped open the mattress, pulled out a fistful of cash and handed it to Andy

"Let's go"

Sam's phone rings

"Yeah"

"Ruben slow down what ...she what"

He hung up

Andy could see that Sam was frustrated after 8 years together and 5 years of marriage she had gotten pretty good at reading him

"What's wrong?"

"She's gone Ruben said that she had to go back for her insurance "

"But if Anton gets that back he won't hesitate to kill her"

"That's why we have to hurry"

They ran out of the room slamming the door behind them , running down the stairs two at a time and hoping in the car pulling away with tires screeching, lights flashing and sirens blaring.

30 minutes later...

They arrived at Emily's apartment

"Emily its Sam and officer McNally...Emily?" Step back"

Andy steps back

He kicks the door in

They're mouths hit the floor when they saw the sight in front of them the room was a mess it was completely ransacked papers were thrown everywhere, drawers had been pulled out and broken glass

"She's not here "

"Let's look around?"

"Ok"

Sam searched the rooms and Andy searched the little dishes on top of the mantle after a while Andy found the hard drive

"Sam "

He walks back into the room

"Yeah"

She holds up the hard drive

"Let's go"

"Where are we going?"

"Back to the bar"

They drove back to the bar

"Front or back?"

We're goin in the front this time"

They walked in the front door

"Where's Emily?"

"Don't Know"

"I thought you guys didn't speak English "

One of the Chinese men started to run for the door but Sam jump over the counter and tackled him to the ground

"How you doin there buddy?"

Sam put cuffs on him

"Go check Emily's office for more evidence"

"Ok"
Andy ran upstairs

Awhile later

"I couldn't find anything more"

"Ok"

All the sudden Anton walks into the room

"Where is she Anton?"

"Who?"

"Emily"

"She's being taken care of"

"if she's hurt so help me"

"Give me the flash drive"

"Emily first"

"Go get her"

Sam brought out the flash drive

"Ya know Anton this little stick has a lot of information on it that can put you away for a very long time and after 8 long months going to hell because of my best friend that would make me a happy happy man"

"You really think so"

"Yeah I do"

Two men walked up they were guiding Emily to where Anton was standing she has a black eye and busted lip other than that she looks fine

"Go"

Emily walked to Sam and Andy

"Is that the only copy?"

"Yes"

"If you're lying I'll find out and come find you"

"Is that a threat Anton?"

"You can take it however you want to officer"

Sam's face stayed emotionless

"Let's go"

They walked out of the bar

"What about it's too dangerous do you not understand?"

"What was I supposed to do?"

"Oh I don't know stay put I told you that McNally and I would take care of it but, instead of doing what I ask you to do you go and put yourself in danger"

"I'm sorry"

"I know here is your money "

He pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to her

"Thank you"

"Yeah"

"We've got to get a statement from you so officer Swarek and I are going to take you back to the station ok?"

"Ok"

The ride to the station was silent at least between Sam and Emily it was so quiet Andy would be able to hear a pen drop if she tried hard enough

Back at the station...

Sam whispers in Andy's ear

"Put her in interview 2 I'll be there in a minute"

"Got it"

She led Emily into the interrogation room sat her down and left the room

Sam motioned for Andy to come into Frank's office

"Boss how do you want us to go about interrogating Emily?

"Ask her about the beginnings of the organization, how she became his accountant, why she started hooking for him so on and so forth and have your wife talk to her she may feel more comfortable revealing things to other women than you and she might reveal more than we excepted her to"

`Will do boss "

They walk out of frank's office

"You ready"

"Yeah"

"Remember when it comes to getting information from someone as vulnerable is Emily is to connect tell her about yourself mention that you're married , if she asks what your husband does tell her if you don't hold back neither will she ok make it real"

"Ok "

She walks into the room and Sam goes to the viewing room to watch

"Hey Emily my name is Andy

"Hi"

"Do you want something to drink?"

"Water please"

"Sure "

She motioned for Sam to bring water 5 minutes later he came in and placed a glass on the table

"Thanks Sam"

"No problem McNally"

"Thanks for coming to get me"

"It's our job"

I have a tendency to run when I get too close to things that could change my life for the better"

"Tell me about it I have abandonment issues from my mom leaving my dad and me when I was 12 I run when things get too serious too fast in relationships that was until I met my husband he showed me that it's to be scared to fall in love but it's not ok to run from how you feel"

"He sounds like an amazing guy"

"He is how did you get caught up in all this"

"Well I was a young and naïve girl with self-esteem issues and I had to help my mother out when she got sick and Anton offered me things that I could never imagine or get on my own so I took him up on his offer I started hooking for him when I was 12 to earn money for my mom's medication

It wasn't until I was in high school that I started doing the books for the business finally when I was a senior I decided I was ready to leave but, he wouldn't let me so I put the idea of college on the back burner until I could get enough money to leave on my own then my mom died and I fell into depression and I didn't have a home anymore

"So why do you stay?"

"Because he's my father"

Sam and Andy's mouths dropped to the floor this case just got interesting very interesting they thought.
