Hope was crying in the nurse office,she wanted her parents both working through.
Hope is 5 years old right now,some kid had to say something bad about her parents.
Running footsteps into the school's office. "Where is Hope Dawson?"asked Detective Erin Lindsey who came to see what was wrong with Hope.
Someone murmurs something to Detective Erin Lindsey.
Detective Erin Lindsey sees the young girl crying in the nurse office. "Sweetie! I'm Detective Erin Lindsey I work with your dad Detective Jay Halstead,what's wrong?"asked Erin kneeling down by Hope.
Good thing that Detective Erin Lindsey had the afternoon off from work.
"I want my dads"cried Hope.
"Ok! We will call your dads"answered Erin gently picking up Hope in her arms signing her out from school.

Peter Mills was there too along with katie.
"What happen?"asked Peter.
"Hope won't tell me,Jay is out in the field-Lt. Casey not sure where he is at the moment. School nurse called me-since I'm on the contact list for hope for emergencies"answered Erin.
Hope was sitting on Jeff Clarke's lap.
When the others had returned doing errands.
"Hope! Why aren't you in preschool honey?"asked Brian.
Hope starts to cry harder this time.
15 minutes later, Hope was in the safety of Lt. Matt Casey arms,sounded asleep.
Detective Erin Lindsey explains to Lt. Matt Casey she had picked up Hope at the school. "I couldn't get anything out of Hope,sorry let me know if you need help"answered Erin waving goodbye to the group in the firehouse.
5 Days later something else happen to Hope Destiny-she hasn't told anyone what has been going on at the school.
Hope had locked herself in the bathroom,the teachers were trying to get her to come out.
"Ms. Dawson! Please you have to come out"begged one of the teachers.
"No! The others might hurt me"cried Hope.
"Hope! If you don't come out of the bathroom,have to call your guardians"answered another teacher.
25 minutes later Leslie Shay comes walking into the school,gotten Hope to come out of the bathroom.
Saw bruises on her niece's shaking form.
"Hope! Come on sweetie,I'm taking you home"answered leslie picking Hope up in her arms.
"Wait a minute you can't take Ms. Dawson home"exclaimed the teacher.
"Actually! I have the right to take my niece home. You have a problem with that can call Lt. Casey at the firehouse 51"snapped Leslie angrily.

Hope comes slowly down the stairs.
"School called me at work-said you had taken my daughter,why did you?"asked Jay.
"Detective Halstead you need to know why I brought Hope home from school,she had locked herself in the bathroom"answered Leslie Shay.
Hope is shaking again.
"Sweetie! We need to show your dads the bruises"whispered Leslie Shay.
Pulling up the shirt a little bit for Jay and Matt to see the bruises on their daughter's small shaking form.
Mouths were wide open.
Gasps could be heard.
