Chapter 4
Previously:
Antonio took charge ordering people around. "Okay, Alvin please calm Adam down. Lindsay, Atwater head down to the scene Sarge and I will join you in a minute after we head down to the hospital and see if any of the victims are coherent. Okay people lets go move it." The team jumped into action ALvin moving Ruzeck into the locker room. Lindsay and Atwater jumping into their car and Antoni and voight looking off after them. Antonio thought nothing of it when he answered the phone that had fallen out of Ruzek's hands but he would remember the feeling he got from it for the rest of his life.
"Hello" Antonio answered the phone relaxed.
"Listen up and listen good I'm only explaining this once." A gruff deep voice said.
Antonio immediately stiffened and placed the phone on the desk after hitting the speakerphone button. Voight gave him a curious look and stepped closer just as the voice spoke again "I've got something you want here and you have the answers that I want. It's too bad that they didn't have the right answers now when my men get reckless you may have to worry especially about this one." The pair stiffened as they heard a man speaking roughly to someone Halstead or Roman no doubt. Then they could just barely make out some words being whispered "Do it." Silence. "Do it or so god help you because I will send Yolen back in." Silence then they heard a punch and a crack no doubt from a broken nose. There was a barely audible whimper and then the man spoke again obviously outraged. "Will you just do it or do I have to do this." then they heard the unmistakable sound of someone trying not to scream as a large amount of force was placed onto a broken bone. Quickly Antonio removed the phone from speaker and briskly walked into Voight's office and shutting the door behind Voight as he entered. The reason became clear as to why when Olinsky walked back out of the locker room with a visibly upset Ruzeck.
Inside Voight's office Antonio put the phone back on speaker just in time to hear a muffled conversation between the two hostages who were assumed to be Halstead and Roman. "Dude that stunt was stupid. Something like that's gonna get you killed." The voice of Halstead came through the phone.
"I'm already a dead man you heard him earlier." Roman's voice said.
"You can't think like that Sean, I bet Voight is running around the predicint screaming his head off and ordering around everyone except Antonio." Jay stated.
"And Antonio is in turn ordering everyone around but giving them different tasks so that they all end up congregated in the center of the bullpen unsure of what to do." Sean finished Jay's sentence. As Antonio and Voight listened to the two exchange words that could very well be their last they found that the pair was learning of their mortality and how easy it would be for them to die. Antonio became a bit worried for the sake of Jay he didn't know Sean well but he did know that Jay always looked at the glass half full and was unsatisfied by most other mentalities and seeing such a happy man almost embracing death was a hard concept for Antonio and as it looked Voight to grasp.
The conversation continued on between the captured pair "You know you should just do what he tell's you, you could get really hurt." Sean said to Jay.
"Shouldn't I be the one telling you that?" Jay questioned.
"No, I'm already hurt pretty bad but your pretty face shouldn't be messed up anymore now should it?" Sean responded with a quick laugh that was cut off by the immense pain in his ribs. As he stopped short of finishing the deep laugh that was know by the district Voight and Antonio shared a look as if knowing what was going on. While they couldn't see the extent of the damage to Halstead or Roman they could almost hear it in their voices and imagine the grimaces on their faces when they moved the wrong way or spoke.
"Well better you than me." Jay said with a smile imaginable to anyone who knew him. Suddenly the phone call changed to a video chat and Antonio and Voight could see Jay and Sean. They looked horrible Sean was handcuffed to a metal pole and was lying haphazardly on the ground, Jay was also handcuffed but was sitting in a chair both were covered in blood but Sean was bleeding profusely from the nose and an apparent knife wound on his left arm. Both of their faces immediately lit up as they could apparently see Antonio and Voight.
Antonio's eyes ran up and down their bodies scanning for any signs of injuries he couldn't see when he came up with some more obvious ones broken ribs, arms, ankles, long cuts on Sean and some rather peculiar wounds on Jays neck. He tried not to let his face show his disbelief seeing as Jay and Sean had only been missing for 24 hours or less. Then three men dressed in all black with noticeable bulges where what seemed to be pistols sat on their hips walked in and stood in a row along the back wall. One more identically dressed man walked in but instead of the pistol he held a semi-automatic .35 caliber rifle. Antonio immediately took in the look of terror on the faces of Jay and Sean. Him and Voight shared a look and Voight yelled "Don't do anything stupid or I swear I will hunt you down and punish you to the extent of my laws!"
With that exclamation Antonio swiftly picked up the phone and walked down into the tech room where he was greeted by Mouse. "Uhh… Hey Antonio what can I do for ya?" He asked.
Antonio replied with a stern tone "Here." He thrust the phone into Mouse's hands "Trace it."
Mouse was very confused and tried to turn the phone over but, Antonio stopped him. "Don't look, just trace it." Mouse gave him a puzzled look "Now."
ANtonio watch over Mouse's shoulder as the man tried to trace the call without looking at the screen. Mouse turned to Antonio "Detective…"
"Dawson is fine."
"Okay, Dawson I need the number so either you give it to me or I look at the screen caller ID." Mouse said careful afraid of overstepping his boundaries with this ultimatum.
"I don't have the number." Dawson replied afraid that what he thought would be on the screen would startle Mouse, heck maybe it could harm Mouse and they needed a tech guy on this case "Can you do it without that?"
"No, I can't" Mouse bit back. "You see this" He said as he gestured to his computer that was about to trace the signal. "That says Telephone Number Without Area Code. So yeah I need the number or this call doesn't get traced."
Dawson wasn't threatened by Mouse. He had at least 2 inches on him and from the way it looked a whole 25 pounds of muscle, but he had to do it for Jay and for Sean "Fine," Mouse turned away back to his work "But I swear whatever you see keep working." Silently Mouse agreed until he turned the phone over in his hands. Looking over Mouse's should Antonio snatched the phone and said "I'll read the number to you." Shellshocked Mouse didn't respond or show any sign that he had even heard Antonio. The only sound that Ruzeck could hear from outside the door besides muffled words was a loud and very audible gasp and the sound of a body crumpling to the floor.

Jay slowly but surely regained consciousness and noticed that they were in a different room and instead of the pair lying on the floor Roman was haphazardly handcuffed around a pole and he was stuck in a chair. As he came to his senses he began to visually check Sean for injuries He found a broken or badly sprained ankle, multiple lacerations on his left leg then slowly moving upward he saw the horrible sight of what was obviously 7 broken ribs, they were pushing skin and T-shirt fabric up in many places and 2 had visibly broke the skin. Next he saw 14 lacerations on Seans torso and arms. Finally he raised his eyes even further to see a bloody and bruised face but with two blue-gray eyes staring at him curiously. "Hey." Jay said plainly.
"Hang on." Sean replied his eyes intently darting around Jays body.
"What are you…" Jay was cut of by Sean.
"Injury scanning" Roman answered blandly
"Find anything?" Jay asked trying hard not to laugh.
"Yeah actually, You have a badly broken ankle with multiple long lacerations of your arms, an obvious concussion and broken ribs. Also your left forearm seems to have some sort of injury whether it be a break, fracture, or other I can't tell. Oh and the ever present rug burns from those cuffs you are so absentmindedly trying to rid yourself of." Sean elaborated.
"Oh and for you we have got, a broken or badly sprained ankle, multiple lacerations on your left leg 7 obviously broken ribs, 2 ribs visibly breaking the skin. At least 14 lacerations on your torso and arms if not more. A probable concussion and lots and lots of bruises." Jay said seriously.
"We have got a problem here." Sean said urgently.
"Yeah tell me about it." Jay said.
"No, not that"
"What?"
"We're being filmed." Sean said with dismay staring towards the shadows were a red light was faintly blinking.
"They had better not…."
"Jay, the district is gonna get wind of this or not. Whether you end up telling them in your statement or from this video feed."
"Sean stop saying that." Jay said angrily.
"Saying what?" Sean asked puzzled.
"Stop referring to us like I'm going to get out but you're not going to."
"So don't tell the truth?" Sean asked a bit arrogantly.
"No, tell the truth but don't morbidize it or have it play to their point of view or what they tell us."
"Is morbidize even a word?" Sean asked swiftly switching subjects.
"I don't know and I don't care."
With that the pair went back to daydreaming of ways to escape of help the team find them until their dreams were swiftly interrupted by the door to the dingy room being banged open and an order barked at them "Shut up and do what I say or else."
They heard the unmistakable dial tones of someone making a phone call but Sean decided it would be a perfect time to try for help "Hey. Hey." He called before the man briskly moved towards them and clamped his hand over Sean's mouth."Listen up and listen good I'm only explaining this once." The voice said into the phone. "I've got something you want here and you have the answers that I want. It's too bad that they didn't have the right answers now when my men get reckless you may have to worry especially about this one." He continued saying harshly but instead directing his last few words at Sean rather than the phone.
Slowly the man leaned over and shoved a piece of paper into Sean's hands Jay could just make out the one word written on it Scream. Sean shook his head the pair knew that the team was on the other line and didn't want to worry them even more than they had to be already. "Do it." The man commanded "Do it or so god help you because I will send Yolen back in." Suddenly The man swung at Sean's face and an unprepared Sean watched as the fist smashed his nose. He tried not to cream and accidentally let out a very soft whimper. Then the man spoke again obviously outraged. "Will you just do it or do I have to do this." The man stood and pressed his foot against Sean's broken ribs.
The man obviously upset walked out and slammed the door behind him leaving the forgotten phone on the floor. Then Jay began to speak "Dude that stunt was stupid. Something like that's gonna get you killed."
"I'm already a dead man you heard him earlier." Roman's replied.
"You can't think like that Sean, I bet Voight is running around the predicint screaming his head off and ordering around everyone except Antonio." Jay stated making Sean smile a bit.
"And Antonio is in turn ordering everyone around but giving them different tasks so that they all end up congregated in the center of the bullpen unsure of what to do." Sean finished Jay's sentence bringing a large smile to both captive detectives faces
The conversation continued on between the captured pair "You know you should just do what he tell's you, you could get really hurt." Sean said to Jay with joking undertones to his voice.
"Shouldn't I be the one telling you that?" Jay questioned.
"No, I'm already hurt pretty bad but your pretty face shouldn't be messed up anymore now should it?" Sean responded with a quick laugh that was cut off by the immense pain in his ribs as noticed by Jay. As he stopped short of finishing the deep laugh that was known by most of the district Jay gave him a questioning look.
"Well better you than me." Jay said with a large smile and joking expression. Suddenly the screen of what the boys had assumed to be a camera but was really a laptop lit up and they could see Vight and Antonio.
Excitedly the pair looked at each other and then back to the camera but the excitement was short lived as three menacing men dressed in all black with noticeable bulges where what seemed to be pistols sat on their hips walked in and stood in a row along the back wall. One more identically dressed man walked in but instead of the pistol he held a semi-automatic .35 caliber rifle. Jay and Sean looked at each other very very scared. They then saw Antonio and Voight share a look and Voight yelled loudly into the camera "Don't do anything stupid or I swear I will hunt you down and punish you to the extent of my laws!". This brought peace of mind but then Voight and Antonio disappeared from the screen and the man walked in front of the laptop.
"Well I guess they don't care too much about you boys. Do what you wish." he said with a wave of his hand. And stepped out the door. Suddenly the men along the wall advanced and Jay and Sean shared a look of terror. Both gulped and tried to protect their heads.
