How I joined Jump Street

Chapter 2

Three more days pasted and Captain Bauhaus didn't get back to her and Izzi wanted out. Screw the rules, and screw this case! This case was turning into a nightmare. Her Lt. was in the hospital with a cracked skull and a broken jaw. Cooper was still missing and she was left alone with this mad man Alejandro. If she wasn't sleeping before she wasn't going to sleep now. She called Captain Bauhaus again and someone else answered his telephone.

"Hello Metro Narcotics Division." The man answered.

"Captain Bauhaus?" Izzi asked.

"He's been put on leave. I'm Captain Rosario how may I help you?" He asked.

Izzi paused for a moment trying to remember if she ever met a Captain Rosario. Once she thought but it couldn't be the same one.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Are you Carlos Rosario from Homicide?" Izzi asked.

"Yes. Who is this?"

"Officer Izzi Santana, sir. Was the Captain able to update you on the case that we are working on?"

"What case? I thought you were on sick leave?"

"Sick leave? No sir. I've been undercover for over 2 months now. So has Lt. Anderson who is also in the hospital. He has a brain injury. Our suspect attempted to crush his head. Detective Cooper's gone missing."

"What do you mean missing?"

"He disappeared the day before Anderson got hurt. I haven't seen him since."

Rosario got out of his chair and started looking around Bauhaus' office for that case file while working to get more information from Santana. She was giving him the rundown on everything that happened. When he couldn't find the file he logged on to the computer and knew that Captain Bauhaus was conducting this cases along with many other cases without the department's knowledge and putting officers lives in danger. There was nothing in the system for this case. Rosario's mind quickly worked to go over the knowledge that he gained from Santana.

"Santana you've been working this case alone for how many days?" He asked.

"About a week so far. The Captain said I had to keep working it."

"Alone? Without backup?"

"Yes sir."

A thought came to the Captain.

"You're Adam Fuller's niece right?"

"Yes sir. You did know I was here sir?" She asked.

Damn! Her Uncle is going to have a fit Carlos thought to him self.

"Yes. I'm being brought up to speed right now." He said.

"I know I shouldn't question my Captain, sir but if one officer is down and another missing shouldn't I be pulled? I have no back up sir." Izzi says.

The Captain could hear the panic in Santana's voice. He didn't even know that she was undercover until the officer's Uncle Captain Fuller called asking about her. And Carlos didn't make the connection until now. He didn't want to lie to Santana but there was something else in her voice—fear. He would have to call his superiors to find out what the hell Bauhaus was doing. Bauhaus was taken off duty and at no time did he tell anyone that he put three officers maybe more undercover without a green light.

"Santana you are right about that. There was a sight problem but we are working on it. But in the meantime…."

There was shouting on Santana's end of the phone.

"Yo Santos! Alejandro wants to see you."

"In a minute!" Santana replies.

"No! Now!"

"Sir, I have to go."

"Santana! Wait Santana!" He called into the phone.

But she had hung up and he was listening to the dial tone. He didn't get to tell her to come in and off this case. He quickly called Adam Fuller and hoped that Bauhaus shared something with him about this faux case that he had these officers working on. All Adam Fuller knew was that Bauhaus was assigning Izzi to investigate Alejandro Lopez. Rosario knew what a bad man Alejandro was but Fuller had no idea. Carlos knew Izzi was in danger but he had no clue to her whereabouts. Adam had suggested calling Sergeant Maxwell Ricktor over in the Gang Unit that he may know something. Carlos thanked Adam and made the call right away.

"Ricktor." A man answered on the other end.

"Max its Carlos Rosario I need your help."

"Sure what's up?"

"I was hoping you could help me find a missing officer that may have came by your way before she was put on this assignment."

"Sure who is it?"

"Izzi Santana."

"No she hasn't stopped by here she should be on vacation."

"Bauhaus assigned her, Cooper and Anderson to work undercover to take down Alejandro Lopez."

"What? Bauhaus assignment them to work together?" Maxwell asked shocked.

"Yes."

"That's the same as assigning Santana to be by herself with Lopez. What the hell was Bauhaus thinking?" Ricktor asked.

"You got me. All I know is that Bauhaus has been removed from duty and Anderson is in the hospital and Cooper is now missing."

"Carlos, tell me you know where Santana is. She shouldn't be alone with him."

"That's why I'm calling. She's been with him alone for about a week now. I wasn't able to call her in. I don't know where she is."

"Lopez moves around a lot. The only person that would know is the one that we are looking for. Your best bet is to put out an APB out on Alejandro Lopez or you can put one out on Izzi Santos that's Santana's cover."

Carlos caught on to Maxwell's thinking. This would be the easiest and fastest way to find her and make sure she was safe.

"Who the hell assigns Cooper and Anderson to a man like Lopez knowing how dangerous he is? They haven't done any real investigating since they joined the force. I would have never assigned Santana to this case."

"But she's been undercover with Lopez before?"

"Yes but I was always been right there. She knows not to go anything around Lopez without another cop present. Now she's been with for how long now?"

"About a week she says."

"Anything could have happened in that time. Carlos is there anyway you can find out what Bauhaus was doing?"

"Sure. While I'm at it I can issue that APB."

"I'm on my way over there."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Yeah bye."

Carlos hung up. He then put out the APB then made that call to his superiors.
