Two weeks later:
Caitlin went around the different CPD Units to see how the recruits were doing. It was the first of many waves but from what she was seeing and hearing, not only were the recruits thrilled at the opportunity they were having but also the different Units themselves. She walked into the Vice Unit to see Sam Flanigan and Katie Adams.
"How are things going"? she asked as they grabbed drinks in the kitchen.
"Loving every minute of it", said Katie. "This was the only unit I wanted to spend time with and I don't regret it. The more time I spend with them the more certain I am, that this is where I want to be".
"That's great Katie. It's always good to be able to set yourself an objective. You'll most probably need to patrol for a while but it'll make it easier on you if you know it's to join this unit afterwards".
She looked at Sam. He seemed lost in his thoughts as he looked at her waist.
"Sam"? she said quietly.
"Yes"?
"How about you? How do you find Vice"?
He shrugged. "It's interesting, but I can't say that I am as motivated as Katie".
"That's alright. You still have Gang tomorrow and Intelligence next week. And don't worry, even if either of those don't spark any interest, you can always decide much later on. Just keep an open mind".
"Of course. I appreciate your support and encouragements. You've always been very supportive".
A week later:
Caitlin walked in with Sam into District 21. He was the only that day that had signed up to meet up with Intelligence. She stopped by Trudy's desk.
"Sergeant Platt, I'd like you to meet recruit Sam Flanigan, he's spending the day with Hank's team".
"Nice to meet you", said Trudy.
"She's the desk sergeant here at District 21, she runs the place like a tight ship. If you need anything while you're here today, don't hesitate to let her know".
"Think you can buzz us up"?
"Of course.
Caitlin laughed and brought Sam over to the cage door as they waited for Trudy to open it up from her desk.
"Wow, this place is very secured", noticed Sam out loud.
"Yes. Now remember, you signed a confidentiality clause, so whatever you come across today needs to stay that way".
"Understood".
They arrived upstairs and Caitlin saw that Hank was in his office with Crowley. She frowned. She really didn't like that woman. The team gathered around them.
"Guys, this is Sam Flanigan. Sam this is Adam Ruzek, Kim Burgess, Jay Halstead, Hailey Upton, Kevin Atwater and Alvin Olinsky".
He shook their hands individually.
"Hank's busy, so we'll let him finish, then I'll introduce you".
Al looked at her. "You want some tea"?
"Great idea", she said. She turned to Sam and Adam. "Adam, maybe you can show Sam around"?
"Sure, right this way", he said showing Sam towards the interrogation rooms.
Al handed Cat her cup. "He seems like a good kid".
"He is. He's really determined and enthusiastic about what he does and I think he has a thing for this Unit".
Alvin took the cup from her and put it down on the table and took her in his arms to kiss her. He was crazy about her. He couldn't get enough of her and the fact that her body was changing didn't stop that in anyway.
"This is the kitchen", said Adam showing Sam. "We generally grab a coffee or tea here, unless you're like Alvin and Caitlin and can't keep your hands off of each other".
Alvin pulled away and looked at Adam. "Instead of mocking me, you should be following my example"!
Cat pulled away from Alvin, grabbed her cup and headed out of the kitchen just as Commander Crowley exited Hank's office.
"Hello Commander".
"Officer Voight. It's a pleasure to see you. I've been hearing a lot of good things from your fellow instructors and the Chief. Keep up the good work".
"Well thank you Mam. I will".
Crowley left and Caitlin looked at Hank. "She's in a good mood".
"Let's hope it stays that way", said Hank. He Then turned his attention to the young man next to Caitlin.
"Sam, this is Sergeant Hank Voight. Sergeant, this is Sam Flanigan one of our recruits".
"Welcome to Intelligence, it's a pleasure to see how the new recruits are showing interest in our Unit", said Hank as he shook his hand.
"Thank you Sergeant. I'm looking forward to it".
"Good. You'll be pairing up with a few of us today, to see what it is we do here. However, if we need to go out on the field, you'll be with me, for safety reasons".
Sam lifted an eyebrow out of interest. Now that, was definitely the icing on the cake. He would hopefully get that moment alone with Voight and that would be his chance!
Mid-afternoon the team got called out on a case and Sam followed Voight like his shadow. It was clear that he was tough, both with his team but also with suspects. But he wasn't scared of him. When they had finished, Hank told the team to take the two suspects in their cars and bring them over to the District. He drove off with Sam in his car. Halfway to the District, Sam looked at Hank.
"I'm not feeling too good. Can we pull over for a minute"?
Hank nodded and pulled the car over, letting Sam out. Sam walked a couple of feet away and hoped that if he staid long enough, Hank would come and check up on him.
After a few minutes, Hank did just that. He put his hand over Sam's shoulder and bent over to see how he was doing. "Ah don't worry, you'll get used to it. We all have a hard time when we start".
In a swift move that Hank didn't see coming, Sam unlatched Hank's gun and took it from it's holster. He pointed the gun at him.
"I thought this day would never come".
"Kid, you're messing with the wrong guy", said Hank.
"Get in the car and drive"!
Hank followed his instructions. When they were in the car, Sam broke the radio and took Hank's phone and talkie-walkie. He then told Hank where to drive to.
When they got to their destination, he tied Hank up to a chair.
