"Now, we all know the plan." Voight's voice is heard in the undercover van. Jay and Adam in the front seat, Kevin and Kim in the back. "Jay, Adam you make the buy, once you guys say the word, we go in and take'em."
Jay nods to Adam then "Got it Sarge." into his push-to-talk.
"I know it's a little different with Patrol standing by. They know we have two undercover just not exactly which two, so all get arrested. Platt told them you'll be wearing blue and red plaid, hopefully that's enough."
"See an awesome choice of wardrobe." Adam jokes with Jay, pointing at his red flannel opening the door to get out.
"Yeah and later we can cut down trees." Jay playfully replies, getting out of the van.
Upton and Voight are in his SUV diagonally parked across the quiet street facing the van.
"Let's hope these suppliers are on time, it's 10 degrees outside. Those flannels may be fashionable but not actually the warmest." Upton comments.
Voight grunts in agreement.
Jay and Adam walk from the van down the side street to the meeting spot in front of a garage door with a happy face on it.
"That's cute." Jay comments looking at the spray-painted face on the dumpster next to the garage door. "Matching."
"Yeah, well I'm not going to be if we have to wait long." Adam says.
- 32 minutes later-
"Damn! It's cold." Adam says. He's standing but shifting his weight around trying to stay warm.
Jay is walking around a bit more, kicking at the huge pile of snow next to the dumpster.
"Moving around isn't helping much."
"Head's up, four men coming your way." Voight's voice is heard in their ears.
Four men are walking towards Adam and Jay. Two in front, one is wearing a blue sweatshirt, Adam recognizes him as his contact Vinny; the other a larger man is wearing a red sweatshirt and two more men a couple of steps behind.
"That's great." Adam says under his breath.
The men walk up to Adam and Jay, who are now standing next to each other, "Welcome to Happy Place, Kyle" The man in the blue sweatshirt speaks to Adam, "You got the bread?"
"Yeah, Vinny." Adam replies. "Who's the muscle?" looking at the larger man then to Jay.
"Don't worry about him. Red is good. My regular associate was busy."
"Red? alright, alright. You got the beans, it's freezing out here."
"Bread?"
Jay lifts up his flannel and flashes the money.
Vinny smiles at his partner, Red smiles back and removes the brick from underneath his sweatshirt. Jay gives the money to Adam.
"Nice choice of colours, by the way." Adam says giving the money to Vinny. Red holds the brick out towards Jay for the exchange. Then Adam says, "Solids are cool but we prefer plaids."
"That's it! Move in! Move in!" Voight is commanding, as he and Upton get out of the SUV.
Kim and Kevin jump out of the van. All are running towards the side street when Patrol cuts in front of them and speeds down the street.
Jay's right hand just gets a hold of the brick when Red pulls it back, tosses it up and back to the men behind them, he lowers his shoulder charging and ramming Jay into the dumpster, knocking the wind out of him. At the same time, Vinny tosses back the money. He swings on Adam but he's ready and blocks the punch, grabs his wrist, spins him around, and applies an arm lock.
The men with the brick and the money run right past the patrol car to guns pointing at them from Kim and Hailey. "Stop Police!" The men don't have much choice and stop, hands raised.
Voight and Kevin run past them toward Jay and Adam.
The Patrol car stops in front of the fight, the two officers, weapons drawn run to Adam and Vinny, "Stop Police. Get down. Both of you!"
Red rams his shoulder into Jay again. Red pulls back and lands a right cross to Jay's face, then picks him up and throws him into the pile of snow, drawing back for another punch.
Adam holds the arm lock on Vinny and sees Kevin and Voight running towards them. He yells, "RYAN!"
Kevin sees Red is ready to throw another punch and wastes no time and tackles Red before he can land another blow.
The two police officers continue to yell at Vinny and Adam to get down - guns drawn. Voight stops behind them, his gun drawn. Adam sees Voight and releases the arm lock. Vinny and Adam both get on their knees.
One of the officers sees Jay in the pile of snow, on all fours trying to get up. He's coughing and blood drips from his face. The officer holsters his weapon and draws his baton. He runs toward Jay dropping his knee to his back, Jay slams back into the snow- face first.
"Stop moving. Hands behind your back!" The officer grabs Jay's right wrist and pulls his arm behind his back.
Jay tries hard not to react knowing they were to get arrested but the sudden painful movement from his shoulder combined with trying to catch his breath from the pain in his chest causes his instinct and training to take over. He twists around with the movement only to feel his shoulder dislocate.
"AAAHHH!" Jay screams. Kevin looks over while cuffing Red.
Unbeknownst to Jay, the officer had applied an arm lock with his baton. Jay quickly falls face down.
"Get OFF!" Jay screams
"Stay DOWN!" The patrol officer yells back and proceeds to cuff him.
Kevin has Red cuffed and briskly walks him back towards the scene. He sees the patrol officer cuffing Jay. Jay is in obvious pain, trying to catch his breath in between grunts and yelps of pain.
"Hey! Hey! Get off him MAN!" Kevin yells at the officer.
"Get up!" the officer's shoulder shouts trying to lift Jay up. That incites another scream of pain from Jay.
"I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!" Yells Voight, "Put him back down!" He is beyond pissed.
"But?"
"I said I got him. Put him down."
Voight takes control. "Patrol, we're taking this one", points down at Jay, "and the one in the red flannel, take the others to the district." He can hear Jay's grunts of pain and short breaths.
The patrol officer looks at Voight then returns back to his partner where Adam and Vinny are cuffed. More patrol officers have arrived on the scene.
Hailey and Kim walk onto the scene, "Two offenders in custody, Sarge." Hailey says. She notices Voight is kneeling down by Jay's side who is still face down. She gives a questioning look seeing Jay's obvious state of distress.
Kevin and the patrol officer who cuffed Jay exchange offenders, Red for Adam.
"You can see he's hurt. No need to do all that." He's angry at the treatment Jay received.
"He was getting up." The officer responded not happy about his actions being questioned.
"Enough!" Voight stops the confrontation.
The patrol officers lead Red and Vinny away to the Patrol cars.
As Voight sees Patrol leave the scene, he leans down and uncuffs Jay. "Easy now, Jay."
Kevin crouches next to him. With his hands released, his shoulder falls to his side. A short "AHHH!" from Jay as he can't quite get a full breath, followed by a small painful cough. "OOOWWW!" with a growl of pain when he moves his left arm underneath him and raises his head so he is no longer face-down. Kim goes to uncuff Adam, Hailey walks closer to Jay.
"Easy." Kevin says putting his hand on Jay's back. Jay takes a wheezy breath and looks at Kevin, a silent plea.
"It's out." Jay painfully says above a whisper, taking short breaths.
Kevin exchanges a look with Voight.
"Ambulance Sarge? We're only 10 minutes out."
Voight looking at his Detective he says, "Let's get him to Med."
"I'll get the car." Hailey says sprinting away.
"Alright Jay, I'm not going to lie. This is going to hurt. Scream all you want."
Kevin looks at Sarge, "Sarge?"
Sarge gets on Jay's left side.
"Whatever you do, make it quick." Jay strains to say.
"Alright" Kevin begins, "Sarge, support his back and elbow the best you can. Jay I'm going to have you roll toward Sarge. Got it?"
Jay, his face distorted with pain, breathing heavily through his nose trying to muffle grunts of pain, gives a short nod.
"Alright Jay, now." Kevin commands
While Jay pushes up with his left arm, Kevin reaches underneath him and helps him roll up to a sitting position, when Jay screams, "Oh F*%& !" and drops his head into his chest.
Kevin looks at Sarge questioning.
"It just popped back in. I felt it." Voight said somberly.
Kim runs up to Kevin with a cloth.
"I found this in the van; maybe use it as a sling?" As she is already folding it into a triangle.
"Good thinking."
Jay is sitting up with Kevin and Voight on each side supporting him the best they can as Kim crouches in front and slips the sling under his forearm and elbow. As she brings both ends up to his opposite shoulder to tie the knot she can hear him trying to suppress his grunts but his face is distorted with pain.
"How you doing Jay?"
Jay looks up to Kim, breathing short, his cheekbone starting to swell, moves his left hand to his chest over holding his diaphragm and shivers.
"He's cold guys. You have to move him."
"Copy that." Kevin responds and Kim moves out of the way.
Voight and Kevin are on each side of Jay, holding him ready to lift him up to his feet. Jay positions his feet underneath himself.
"Ready?" Kevin asks
Jay nods.
Voight grabs Jay around his waist. Kevin underneath his left arm. "Up!" They lift him up so his feet are under him, then Kevin repositions to hold him around his waist.
"ARRgghh!" Jay yells when he is lifted to a standing position. He takes short breaths through clenched teeth, face distorted by a grimace. His eyes are closed and then tries to take a step forward.
"Whoa buddy." Adam reaches out to support but stops short of touching him.
Hailey has driven right up to the scene and has the passenger's back door open.
" AH ….. AH…. OW…. OW…..AHH! STOP!" Jay breathes as Voight and Kevin just about carry Jay to the car.
"We're almost there." Kevin says, ignoring Jay's pleas. Once at the car, they maneuver him inside.
"We'll meet you at Med." Adam says as he leaves with Kim.
Once inside, Jay rests his head back and his left-hand returns to his chest. He looks to the rearview mirror to see Hailey, he's trying to control the pain with his breathing but not doing too well. As soon as Hailey's eyes meet Jay's he relaxes a fraction. Voight is in the front seat and Kevin has joined Jay in the back. Just as the last door is shut Hailey has the car in reverse driving to Med.
