So guys here is the next one! I tried my best as always and let's say there will be a surprise in the next one.
So please enjoy and leave reviews"
"So you're a cop." Melanie noticed briefly when she was in the interrogation room with Emma.
"Yes."
"Unbelievable. You could have gotten us out of there the whole time. But instead..."
"Melanie!" Emma interrupted her harshly and slowly turned to Erin. "She had her reasons. She probably needed proof."
"Yes, I did and now we need your statements on what else is going on behind closed doors."
The two women opposite Erin looked at each other sceptically.
"Nothing will happen to you. I swear it."
"Why should I trust you? You had something going on with Nate." Melanie was right.
"Because I'm the only person who can confirm what's been done to you over the years and I can hide you from him."
"All right, I'll talk."
"Emma!"
"No, Melanie. Erin was the only one who always looked after me after Marvin took me. So let me."
Emma began to tell: From the drugs sold in the casinos. The money laundering and prostitution of female employees. Emma could also confirm that Nate was only indirectly involved in money laundering and prostitution did not begin until Ralph joined.
"What do you mean "indirectly involved"?" Erin didn't quite understand. "Nate's his right hand."
"Nate always said he didn't want anything to do with it directly, so he just stuck around for the arrangements. He's good at hiding things from the public, so he's his right-hand man." Explained Melanie briefly.
"I see." Erin took a deep breath once. "We'll take you to a safe house guarded by civilian cops 24 hours a day."
Then she accompanied Emma and Melanie outside and to her surprise Melanie thanked her."Thanks, Erin."
"That's my job."
The woman gave her a short smile and then disappeared with Emma in her arms.

"I hope it will be all right."
5 hours later...
After everyone was questioned and taken to safe accommodations, Erin passed Nate's house on her way home. It wasn't turned upside down by the police because there was nothing to find. She just got her things she had there when she was with him and some of his, especially shirts, because she couldn't sleep without him.
Arrived at home she took a shower and put on one of his shirts and then went to bed. It took a few hours but after a while she was gone.
Three weeks later...
"Serge, Agent York has called in. They finally got Grace and Franco and they're bringing them both here." Blurted Atwater out with the message.
"I wonder how she'll be told what happened to her brother." Thought Erin.
"Well done, Atwater." Voight replied briefly.
"Guys! Rita was discovered at the airport." Ruzek came up the stairs. "He'll probably try to contact Nate."
"Then bring him here. Antonio and Al." Voight looked over at Erin. "You're taking him out of custody."
The two detectives were on their way.
Flashback one week ago...
"How are you?" she asked.
"I'm fine so far." He looked down at their hands, which touched each other at their fingertips the whole time, unfortunately they were not allowed more.
"You really don't know where Rita is, Nate?"
"No, for the thousandth time Erin. I don't know and I never knew." Now he looked at her.
"All I know is that I want you back in my arms."
She still couldn't believe how she ever got to such a great man who still seemed to love her despite the lies. When she wanted to answer the guard came and told them that her visiting time was over. Even as a detective, you had to stick to it. So they both got up and looked each other in the eyes.
"Take care of yourself in here, okay?" she asked him.
"Then you take care of yourself out there." He threw back what made her laugh. "See you next week."
She nodded and had to watch as he was taken back to his cell.
"Erin? Erin?" she was shaken on someone's shoulder.
"Yeah?" it was Hailey who told her Nate was here.
"Okay."
"But he refuses to talk to us."
"I'll handle this." Erin got up from her chair and went to interrogation. She noticed Voight wanting in, but she blocked.
"I'll do it myself."
In the room inside, she saw him handcuffed to the bar off the wall.
"Can you take it off me?" he asked hopefully.
"No, unfortunately not." She sat down right in front of him on the bench.
"Listen, Nate..."
"I already said no, Erin."
"And your lawyer?" She got him a lawyer two weeks ago, and he was good.
"He said to do it because it would be good for my pledging hearing."
"Then do it. You can help a lot of people with that. Help us." She looked him straight in the eye. "Maybe it'll get you out of jail sooner."
He snorted and bit his lower lip.
"All right, but only because it's you."
"Thank you."
"So we're gonna put a bug behind your belt buckle, he won't notice anything." Explained Atwater Nate, who didn't like being bugged by him.
"Can't Erin do it?" he asked with a lightly annoyed tone.
"What can I do?" She was already in her vest at the computer room door.
"Voight said I should plant the bug." Replied Atwater.
"You get ready, Kevin. Don't worry, I won't let him escape." Without much rebellion, he gave her the bug, and he went out to get ready for access. Out of the room, Erin walked up to Nate and put the bug behind his belt buckle.
"You look hot in the vest." He said seductively and made her laugh.
"Don't get beat up this time." She looked up at him and smiled faintly.
"Don't worry." He put his hand on her cheek and noticed how pale she was. "Are you all right? You look so pale."
"Yes, I just threw up this morning. Probably just the stress. Don't worry about it." He nodded.
"Then come on, we have to go." She finally said and laid her hand on his lower back.
"I hope it will all go well this time."
After a briefing in which Nate contacted Rita and arranged a meeting, he sat down in his car and drove off.
From a safe distance, intelligence followed him.
After half an hour's drive, they arrived at a warehouse and chased Nate over the bug as he walked in. After five minutes it was time.
"Nate! Nice to see you again!"
"Marvin! The pleasure is all mine."
