Jay, Hailey and Allie walked back to the two trucks and came up with their plan of attack. Jay looked at the time and grimaced, it was nearing 1:30 am. "It's getting late." He was tired, he knew Hailey was tired and he also knew that a good nights sleep was night going to come for the two of them on this case.

"Lets just all go back to my place, it's the closest and we can get an early start on the morning," Hailey suggested. She turned to Allie. "You cool with that? That way you don't have to wake your mom up or anything."

Allie nodded. "Something told me I should bring an extra pair of clothes with me in my gym bag."

Hailey turned to Jay. "Meet you at home."

Once Allie climbed into Hailey's truck did she look at her and laugh. "You're sleeping with your partner aren't you!?"

Hailey groaned. "It's been like a day, okay," Hailey said as she started driving.

"You're sleeping with your partner. The woman who swore she would never sleep with her partner, is sleeping with him," Allie exclaimed.

"You don't need to remind me," Hailey said. "It kind of just happened. I got a job offer and well, we kind of had to talk about us."

Allie smiled. "Good for you. He's smoking hot so good job."

Hailey rolled her eyes. "He comes with his own set of baggage but we'll see how things go."

They all got back to Hailey's pretty quickly and all brought gym bags inside with them. "Hey, do you have any tea or anything?" Allie asked when they got inside.

Hailey laughed. "There might be some in the corner but I don't know if it's any good. I'm a coffee girl, you know that. Bedroom is the on the right, there's an ensuite and there's towels in there if you want a shower. I'll probably be up around 7."

Allie smiled. "Thanks Hails," she said, as she went to go look for tea.

Jay was searching around in his gym bag that he had thrown on the floor when Hailey came into the bedroom. "What are you looking for?" she asked.

He held up the offending prescription pill bottle and made his way into the kitchen where Allie was waiting for hot water to boil. He threw her the pill bottle and she caught it. "Figured you might want one of these."

She read the label. "I sure as shit do. Thanks," she said as she popped the lid off, took it and dry swallowed the little pill and threw it back to Jay.

"Coming back is always the hardest," Jay said.

She sighed as she leaned against the counter. "I guess that's why I told Hails I would go with her to the crime scene. It's not my normal jam as far as being a cop but it sure beats sitting at home and baking."

Jay nodded. "I know that all too well. Anyways, I hope that helps you sleep. Night, Allie."

"Night."


Hailey woke up the next morning to Jay's alarm going off and she just laid there and didn't move.

"Turn it off," she muttered.

He reached for his phone and turned off the offending alarm. It was 6:30 and they had gotten to bed at 2:15 and they were both flat out exhausted. Neither of them felt like getting out of bed. He lazily put his arm around her.

"Do we have to go into work today?" she still hadn't moved from her position.

Jay just looked at her. "Voight will kill us, especially you, if we don't."

She rolled over onto her side so she could face him. "I'm exhausted, I don't want to deal with drugs, gangs and undercover ops. I want a day off. I just want to do nothing."

"So let's do nothing after this case is over," Jay said. "A complete day of nothing."

"You talk an excellent game Halstead," Hailey replied.

He looked at her. "Is Allie up and cooking breakfast?"

Hailey paused. "I think so. Which is really weird. Because she is the last person in the world to be cooking breakfast," she said. She dramatically threw off the covers and got out of bed. She was wearing one of Jay's huge gym shirts that covered enough of her ass that it was acceptable so she didn't bother putting anything else on.

Both Jay and Hailey made their way to the kitchen where Allie was making French toast for the three of them. "I've known you for over ten years and this is probably the first time ever you have ever made breakfast. Hell, even had breakfast."

Allie laughed. "Never was much of a breakfast eater in college."

Jay held up his hand. "Wait, you two lived with each other?!"

Hailey laughed as she started making coffee. "Yeah, for a semester. Allie, me, one of my brother's, and his friend. It was an interesting semester."

"Oh I want to hear the stories."

Allie flipped a piece of French toast. "Oh I got em."

"Can we get back to the fact that you are cooking in my kitchen, please?" Hailey asked as the coffee was done and she passed it to Jay before putting in one for herself.

Allie shrugged. "18 months changes a person."


Hailey and Allie ran up the stairs to find most of Intelligence, save for Jay, already seated at their desks. Atwater, Burgess and Antonio all looked very well rested and Ruzek looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep last night at all.

"Morning," Ruzek said, nodding at Hailey and Allie.

"Antonio," Allie greeted.

He did a double take at the new look on the Narcotics Detective, with her dark brown hair down again. "If Upton hadn't said that you were back in town, I would be seriously wondering who was standing beside me."

Hailey turned to Atwater and Burgess. "Officers Kevin Atwater and Kim Burgess. Meet Detective Allie Montgomery. She's being sucked into our latest case," Hailey explained.

Voight came out of his office at that moment. "Where are we on that, anyways?"'

Ruzek stood up and rubbed his eyes as Halstead come in. Hailey knew he had to make a stop for Platt before coming into the office. She didn't push. "Well I finally got a hold of Wilson in Gangs at like 3 or 4 in the morning. He did confirm that at least Williams is known to run with the G-Park Lords. Powell is still a unknown."

"But most likely is running in the same crew," Antonio said. "So who is picking the short straw to talk to the G-Park Lords?"

Allie raised her hand.

Voight shook his head. "Where are we on the drugs?"

"Cocaine. Cut with battery acid," Kim said, reading the report.

Voight, Hailey, Jay and Ruzek all turned to Allie and she threw her hands up in surrender. "New one to me. I was only the accountant. Voight, I'm sure you know what my role in that crew was."

"Yeah, woke up your handler last night. He was less than impressed that this got dragged out east and that his air tight case got a little bit more messy," Voight said. "I did remind him that if we nail these sons of bitches the right way, we might be able to put another nail in Patrick Davis' coffin."

Allie turned to Kim. "I am a little out of touch on how long things take these days but have fingerprints come back on the cocaine packet?"

Kim shook her head. "Not yet. I'll let you know. Is there someone we should be running them against?"

Voight just nodded. "I'll take care of that. In the mean time, we gotta play the G-Park angle here. Who wanted these kids dead?"

"Little Dougie has probably gone underground," Ruzek pointed out. "They are laying low if they know."

"What if the G-Park Lords don't know yet? Gangs said so themselves, they only have Williams on their radar. These guys probably aren't super tight in with the crew. It's only been a couple hours," Hailey said.

Halstead shrugged. "Could just surprise Little Dougie."

Voight quickly walked over to his office and walked back and handed a gun and a burner cell phone to Allie. "Welcome to Intelligence for a couple days," he said. "Don't do anything stupid. Upton and Montgomery, go pay Little Dougie a visit. If he won't cooperate, I will call Rixton but lets not go that route if we don't have to. Everyone else, start calling CIs on how cocaine from San Diego got to Chicago."

Allie took the gun and tucked it in the back of her black, slightly ripped jeans. She wore the converse shoes she wore yesterday, along with a pink zip up hoodie. Her Chicago PD badge hung around her neck. Her attire wasn't too different than Hailey's, who wore boot cut jeans and a blue plaid top. Hailey's badge was just on her hip, along with her gun in her holster. "I won't. You want me to play this on the drug or the gang angle, Sarge?"

"Gang," Voight said.

Kim handed them a piece of paper. "It may be 10 am but Gang always has surveillance on and he's parked outside his bar."

"Not surprising," Jay muttered.

Hailey and Allie got into the truck. "There's another hip holster in the glove box," Hailey said.

Allie shrugged. "Thanks but I'm good. Rather keep it on my back. I have a back holster in there right now. It was in my gym bag. Habit from always carrying in California."

"Concealed carry is against the law in California," Hailey commented.

Allie just looked at her. "I played the part of basically a criminal for 18 months. Didn't really care about that shit."

They talked about aimless stuff for the rest of the drive to the bar where the G-Park Lords occupied most of the time. They talked about their undergrad degrees, how Hailey had gotten her Masters but Allie went straight into the arms of the US Marines. They talked about Hailey's family and how her three brothers were doing. They talked about Allie's mom, her only family left, and how Gloria was doing now that Allie was back. And they talked about how much shit Ruzek looked that morning.

"Let's do this," Allie said as she headed for the bar; she took off her CPD badge and stuffed it in her pocket. "Let me go in first."

Nobody was at the front doors which surprised them both but they didn't draw their guns. Little Dougie was sitting at a table with his younger brother when the two of them approached. He didn't barely glance at them, or the fact that two white girls were walking into his bar at 10 am register with him.

"It's been a little awhile!" Allie exclaimed.

"It's been awhile," Hailey echoed. She was always amazed at her friend's ability to change identities and personas on the fly. She was a natural born undercover operator.

Little Dougie was so confused. "Who are you two?"'

Allie turned to Hailey. "He doesn't remember us? Seriously?" Hailey just shrugged.

"I don't remember. Leave," Little Dougie replied.

And then Allie's face turned and she slammed her CPD badge on the table, surprising the G-Park Lords leader. "Nice try. You know me. I just look a little different. Detective Allie Montgomery," she said, jogging his memory. She pointed to Hailey. "Detective Hailey Upton."

Little Dougie looked at Hailey, who simply crossed her arms. "It's been awhile."

Allie sat down at the table across from him. "I need information."

"What kind of information?"

Hailey held out her phone and flipped between the photos of the two dead gang bangers. "Two of your guys are dead."

Little Dougie just looked at his brother and then back at two female Detectives. "What happened?'

"Took two to the chest last night down at the pier," Allie raised an eyebrow. "Losing touch? Because I'm surprised you haven't heard that two of your guys are dead."

"Been a little busy," Little Dougie said.

Hailey smirked. "Shame."

"What do you ladies really want?"

Allie sighed. "Your gang bangers were found with cocaine on them. Know anything about that?" She showed him the picture of the cocaine package.

Little Dougie shook his head, emphatically. "I tell my guys to deal with one dealer that I trust and not to go outside of him."

"Looks like they did," Hailey said. "We need your help."

"We won't go after you guys for your cocaine, we could care less about that at this point," Allie said. She did make a mental note to figure out who the G-Park Lords were using as their main dealer. "But we need you to help us find out who sold that cocaine to Williams and Powell."

Little Dougie seemed to consider the proposition. "Yeah, okay. I can do that. I'm meeting Rixton tomorrow."

Allie looked at Hailey who just rolled her eyes. Instead she grabbed a bar napkin and a pen from the table and wrote her number down. "How about you call me? You don't want to turn to the chance to spend some quality time with two pretty Detectives do you?"

This time Little Dougie rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Get lost. I'll call you or Rixton."
