Erin went to Hank's that afternoon. She needed to tell him what she was planning to do, although she could already hear his gravelly voice saying not to do it. He wouldn't want her to throw her life away but she couldn't keep this secret any longer. But things were okay now because as long as she had Jay, she knew she would be okay.

Erin walked into the house.

"Hank?"

He came out from the living room. "Erin, what are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Come sit down," he said, motioning to the living room. Erin sat on one end of the couch and Hank sat on the other.

"You look so serious."

"I don't know how to tell you this."

"Erin, what was the rule in our house?"

"Always tell each other the truth."

"And what was my rule for the unit?"

"Tell you the truth so you can lie for us."

"So you should know you can tell me anything."

"I know but I know you're gonna be mad."

"Nothing will ever make me stop loving you. I told you before, you're all I really have left since Olive and Daniel moved to Arizona."

"Okay, I guess I'll just come out with it."

"Okay."

"Jay knows."

"Knows what?"

"Everything, about Kevin Bingham."

Hank stood up. He rubbed his chin before looking back at Erin.

"How does Halstead know?"

"I told him."

"Why would you do that?"

"He needed to know so he would know why I'm going to do what I'm going to do."

"What are you planning on doing?"

"I'm going to the Deputy Superintendent to tell them my involvement in Bingham's murder."

"Erin, you can't do that. You will be throwing everything away that you've worked for."

"Hank, it was my choice to do what I did. Nobody forced me to do anything. I have to own up to my actions."

"Erin, I say this with love, but don't do this. I can't watch you throw your life away over my revenge. If anyone is going to tell Brennan what happened, it's going to be me."

"Hank, you can't do that. You'll lose your star."

"It's better mine than yours. You still have so much you could do in this world and I'd be fine. I've put in a lot of years with the CPD and I've been behind bars before. I can do my time."

"I won't let you," Erin said, standing up to wrapping her arms around Hank. He hugged her back and they just stood there for a moment, relishing the bond between them.

A knock at the door brought them apart. Hank went to the door and Erin followed. He opened it.

"Kate?"

"Hank, may I come in?"

"Of course," he said, stepping aside. Erin stood up a little straighter.

"Erin Lindsay, I heard you were back in town," Brennan said.

"Deputy Superintendent Brennan, it's nice to see you again."

"Did you need something Kate?" Hank asked.

Brennan turned to face him. "I wanted to inform you personally that there has been an arrest in the murder case of Justin Voight."

Erin hid her shock but inside her mind was reeling. Did Al confess to the murder?

"What do you mean?" Hank asked.

"The man who murdered your son, I believe his name was Kevin Bingham?"

"Yeah."

"Well as you know we found Bingham's body and Detective Olinsky was arrested in connection with transporting the body."

"Yeah."

"Well the man who murdered Bingham has come forward as well as his accomplice. They've both been arrested and I'm working to arrange Detective Olinsky's release from Statesville immediately."

"Who did it?" Erin asked.

"A man named Douglas Edgeibed."

"Why does that name sound familiar?" Erin asked aloud to nobody in particular.

"He was an ex of your mother's," Hank said.

"Yes he was and his accomplice in transporting the body was Bunny Fletcher."

"What did you just say?" Erin asked.

"Your mother has confessed to helping Douglas move the body. She claims that she didn't know that Douglas had planted the hairs from Detective Olinsky in order to frame him. Either way, both of them are being processed as we speak."

"Who made the arrest?"

"Detective Halstead."
