AN: You get two chapters this week anddddd its primarily a Upstead chapter. So if you like it, leave me a review!

At the end of the day, Voight told them all to go home. They weren't going to get far without Little Dougie and Allie's handler's cooperation and at that point, they had neither. They had given Rixton the heads up that Little Dougie might go through him to give the information regarding Williams and Powell. Ruzek lived close to Allie's mom's house so he drove her home.

Jay and Hailey were the last to leave, even after Voight. "Pizza?" Jay asked.

She leaned back in her chair and sighed. "I guess. I sure don't feel like cooking. It's your turn for your pizza."

He flashed his mega-watt smile. "I know."

She rolled her eyes. "So that's why you want it?"

He shrugged as he picked up his jacket. "Maybe."

"Fine. But you text him and deal with him. He is your CI," she pointed out. His favorite pizza store was run by a bunch of drug dealers and they usually texted their orders in to avoid being seen in that pizza store but Jay couldn't resist it.

"Small price to pay for Chicago's best pizza," he said as they made their way down the stairs.

They split up as they made their way to the parking lot. "See you at home."

She was washing dishes when he came in the door with beer and two pizza's. One being for her and the other for him. They had much different taste in pizza they learned, being partners so they knew it was always best just to order two separate pizzas and have the rest for leftovers. This wasn't the first time they had ordered pizza, they usually did it on their sports nights or before going to Molly's.

"I bought you your favorite beer," Jay said as he set the pizza and beer on the counter.

She turned around from the sink and raised an eyebrow at him. "Nice try. Because you know I drink what you drink."

He shrugged. "It was worth a try."

"A better one would be buying me cheesecake or something," she said as she grabbed two plates.

He opened the pizza box. "I'll save that for when I fuck up and I need to get on your good side."

"You do that."

They made their way to the couch and Jay took the remote. "What are we watching tonight?"

She shrugged as she took a bite of her pizza. He turned it to a Blackhawks game and she didn't complain either. They were in Florida tonight, playing the Panthers and by the score, they were well on their way to getting their asses handed to them, as the Panthers were up 4-0, 6:12 into the first.

"This is embarrassing," Hailey said, about the score.

Jay shook his head. "No shit. I don't think there is anything else on, unless you want to turn on Netflix."

"And aimlessly go through Netflix trying to decide what to watch? No thanks. Let's just watch this."

They had finished their pizza and put it on the coffee table and she was cuddled into Jay's side. She thought about how weird it was that three days ago they were just partners and now they had moved into a different type of relationship and it just felt so natural. It felt so right that he should be at her place after some rough couple days, eating pizza and just trying to rest as much for the next day.

For Jay, it was about time that they had moved their relationship into something else. They had been dancing around their under lying feelings for along time but neither of them knew how to move on it or if they should. Being partners at work and being in a relationship was a huge step and both of them knew they had to be fully committed to making it work if they made the plunge. He had done it before with Lindsay and it did make him a little nervous to be involved with another partner. He also knew what would be said about him at the district but he didn't really care. Hailey was worth it.

The Blackhawks game was almost over before Jay turned to Hailey. "Did Allie serve?"

"That's a random question, but yeah."

Jay nodded. "I got that feeling when she said something about having a hard time coming back. She deploy?"

Hailey pulled up a picture on her phone and showed him. "Did 4 years and got out as a Captain."

Jay whistled. "Too bad she's a Marine but wow she rocks that uniform." He may be head over heels for the girl sitting next to him on the couch but he couldn't deny the hotness of a young blonde Captain in uniform, holding a gun with the Iraq background behind her.

"Pretty hot, eh?"

He nodded. "How come she got out? She seems like she would go far in the military."

She shrugged, debating how much to tell him. "Allie got raped her junior year in University and ran straight into the arms of the U.S. Marines. Her high school sweetheart had enlisted and was doing really well and they were talking again so she decided that it was the best thing for her. The Marines were never her real long game. When it came time to re-up she was feeling restless and following orders isn't something Allie is very good with."

Jay whistled. "Wow, that's a seriously fucked up past."

"She somehow did OCS in between her junior and senior year while everyone, including me, was partying their ass off or doing nothing. She came back her senior year, completely changed. I don't know if it was the rape or if it was the Marines that broke her and changed her but after that, her ability to change and become a different person was amazing."

He was starting to realize there was so much more to Hailey's friend that the façade she put on. "It's her way of coping."

Hailey nodded. "She joined CPD right after getting out of the Marines and she could go out partying all night long and she did quite often and come back like nothing had happened the next day."

"I did it too," Jay said.

"I know," Hailey said, softly. "You two deal with anger and disappointment and your past a lot in the same ways."

He smiled softly. "So that's where you got so good at dealing with me when I start to go down the rabbit hole."

She nodded. "I've had a little bit of practice with Allie. Don't let her fool you too much. She might be all buttoned up 99% of the time but I've seen that 1% and it's not pretty."

"Neither is mine."

Hailey took his hand and looked him in the eye. "I know. And I'm fully prepared for that 1% and will love you even through that ugly part."

All Jay could do was kiss her and she giggle so he kissed her more and soon he was on top of her on the couch. Yep, he was head over heels for his partner.

It was 1 am and Ruzek was with a woman in an upscale bar, far from any co-workers. Her name was Melissa and she was not the normal girl he dated. And she did not know he was a cop. And he didn't want to tell her either. They were together the night Voight called him and she was less than impressed when he had to go. He had met her through another friend but he knew it was probably nothing if he couldn't even tell her he was a cop.

His cell phone started vibrating in his pocket. The number wasn't saved in his phone but he recognized the digits as some of the burner phones Voight had gotten for them to call their CIs with. So it was coming from a CPD cell phone. "Hey, I need to answer this."

She looked at him disapprovingly but he still stepped outside the bar on the smoking patio to answer the call. 'Hello?"

"Can you come pick me up?"

Ruzek had to steady himself on the railing he was so surprised at the voice on the other side of the call. It was Upton's friend, Allie Montgomery. And she sounded wasted. "Allie?"

"Just come fucking pick me up please," Allie pleaded.

Ruzek looked inside and sighed. He knew she must be pretty drunk for her to be calling him. Normally he'd tell his friends to go get an uber or taxi in a case like this but his gut was telling him that he better pick her ass up. "Where are you?"

"Bar in G-Park Lord territory. I'll drop you the pin," she said.

Now he really wanted to kill her. She was a white, female cop in the wrong side of town and that was just asking for trouble. "Fucking stay there Allie. I'm coming right now."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," she said and he hung up the phone.

He walked inside and Melissa was already gone. He just rolled his eyes, probably for the best. If she couldn't handle a couple 1 am phone calls, then it was definitely doomed. He paid for the tab and got in his vehicle. G-Park Lord territory was pretty far from where he was but he got there pretty quickly.

When he got there, Allie was sitting at the bar, talking to the bartender that Ruzek recognized as one of Atwater's CI's.

The bartender nodded at Ruzek and they stepped to the side. "She's already paid her tab but she's pretty messed up. Given the fact that you're here to pick her up and the wide berth everyone else gave her in this bar, I'm guessing she's a cop?"

Ruzek nodded. "Yeah man. Thanks for keeping an eye on her."

"You came," Allie said, when she saw him.

He shook his head. "Come on, lets go. You are wasted, my friend."

She slowly stood up. "I know."

He put his arm around her waist to steady her as they started to walk out of the bar. "So what happened?"

"Life fucking happened."

He didn't say much in the car and she didn't either. He debated whether to drive her home or let her sleep it off on his couch. He elected that letting her sleep it off on his couch was probably a better idea, given that she was staying with her mom and he still was going to pick her up in the morning anyways.

Before they got to his place, he asked the burning question. "Why'd you call me and not Upton?"

She waved her hand. "Hails has dealt enough with me like this and you seemed like you would know the best out of everyone else on what to do and how to deal with a very fucked up me."

"Thanks for the sort of compliment," he said softly as he helped her get out of his car.

It was 3 am and Jay's burner phone started ringing. It was the cell phone he had that he dealt with CIs with. He rolled over and saw the name of his CI- Devante Mayfield on his caller ID. This better be huge for Devante to be calling at 3 am and waking him up. He hadn't had many dealings with Devante lately- he was running with a new crew and trying to move up the ladder there. He was friends with a lot of the G-Park Lords but never officially ran with them.

"Yeah," he answered.

"I think I know who killed Carl Williams and Martin Powell," Devante said.

Jay sat up in bed; that definitely woke him up. "What?"

"You heard me," Devante said.

Hailey was stirring beside him. "Meet me at the all night diner on 21st in 30 minutes'," Jay said. He was already throwing on a t-shirt.

"Yeah, sounds good.," Devante said and hung up.

Hailey rubbed her eyes. "What's going on?"

"Get up. We gotta go talk to Devante," he said.

She threw herself back on the pillow dramatically and looked at her phone. "It's 3 am."

He just looked at her. "Yep. Get up."

She groaned but sat up and leaned over to grab her jeans and put them on, but not without Jay looking at her ass as she was putting up her jeans. She just turned around and glared at him, which made him laugh, after she did her jeans up. She made her way into her closet in the dark and grabbed a t-shirt and threw a University of Chicago hoodie overtop of it.

Jay was in the kitchen, making them coffee. He handed her a coffee mug and she took it and kissed him in appreciation. He just laughed and put his own coffee cup in the Keurig.

"Do you think he actually has solid information?" Hailey asked.

He shrugged. "Too big of a case not to try."

"It's 3 am though," she whined.

They got to the diner where Devante was waiting outside, with his hands in his pockets. He raised his head when he saw the Duramax approach. "You brought the pretty lady," he said when he saw Hailey.

Jay and Hailey rolled their eyes. "Pretty lady will kick your ass if you don't start talking soon," she said as she opened the door.

They found a booth and the waitress brought them all coffee immediately. Jay and Hailey knew they were up for the long run at this point. They also took menus from the waitress.

"You can order you know," Jay said.

Devante shook his head. "I'm only here for a minute. I don't want anyone to see me."

Both cops respected that. That's why they were up at 3 am, meeting him at an all night diner. "Start talking then," Jay said, looking at the menu, knowing he wanted their strawberry pancakes. He knew Hailey would order the same most likely.

"I think Carl Williams' dad killed him and Powell," Devante said, leaving the two Intelligence Detectives absolutely and utterly shocked.
