Jay's Pov"When are we going to spare?"Antonio asks, taking a sip of water." I don't like that look in your eye," Jay mentions while fighting the boxing bag."Is Voight dirty," Jay asks out of the blue." It's not my department," Antonio replies, not going into that conversation. "So that's a yes?"" I almost went down the tube when I was in Vice, which was about right around the time I stopped judging other cops.""Not looking for judgment, just a definition. Do I learn from him, or do I keep my distance. " Jay says." Both." Antonio replies. " But if you really want to know, ask her," Antonio says , nodding his head towards Erin, who was walking in the gym."Jazzercise is, like, a block south." Jay jokes."Yeah, nice muscle tee," Erin retorts."This is perfectly acceptable attire for the boxing gym," Jay replies."No, absolutely, and the bonus is you don't have to change later - when you break-dance," Lindsay fires back , getting an "oh" from Antonio in the back."Voights kid", Antonio mentions, referring to the young male walking into the gym."Justin!" Erin calls out." This is Antonio and Jay. I work with them, "Erin says, introducing Justin to her co-workers. " Antonio's buddy owns the gym, hence the 30% discount."20%. Nice try. "Antonio says, smirking."How are you doing?" Jay says , attempting to introduce himself to Justin. Getting only a look in return. " I gotta make some calls," Justin speaks up after a few seconds of silence."He's like my little brother. I'm just trying to keep him out of trouble."Erin explains, trying to excuse how Justin just acted."Good luck," Antonio jokes."Just give him a shot."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harper's Pov"Ugh, who thought it was right to give me , out of all people, AP Physics," Harper groans."I don't know, probably the same people who taught I should take dance as an elective," Benj jokes sarcastically." No, but seriously, I don't even know what's the difference between an Electron and a Proton," Harper says truthfully. "A Proton is positive and an electron is negative," Trevor answers innocently while finishing his calculus homework. " No shit," Harper says sarcastically "Why don't you ask Daniel McLain, I'm pretty sure you can seduce him. You're a freaking model."Benjamin jokes."Haha , hilarious", Harper's says while slapping Benjamin across the head. "Hey Halstead, boys," Molly approaches, wearing her shortest skirt and designer glasses; even if they are in the library. "Hey Molly , what's up?" Harper says."So, there's a party tonight at the Jameson's. It's a black out theme. You have to come.""Sure," Harper says, not even looking up from her paper."I already knew about the Party, so I asked Jay this morning," Harper clears up before anyone starts asking questions."Wel, in that case, count us in," Benjamin says , answering for his brother as well, who was submerged in homework."Ok, perfect, see you guys later," Molly squeals , walking away from the table like she's at a fashion show or something. "How come Jay let's you go to these parties? He isn't worried about anything?"Trevor asked." Jay's just put out some ground rules. Bring in your little side bag, which he has purposely bought in every color so there's no excuse; my pepper spray, my teaser that I'm certified in, a backup charger, window breaker, pocket knife, and a little thermometer to see if the drink is drugged. Stay with the Perry Boys at all times. Don't go anywhere alone.Update me every hour or so. No curfew, just don't be the idiot who stays so long at a party that you end up cleaning up; and the basics, no drinking , smoking , vaping, doing drugs or sex "Harper lists casually. "Damm, your brother is the best," Benjamin groans.*Bell Rings*"You want to grab lunch before the next period," Harper asks, cleaning up her school books."Sure," the boys answer."Ok, what do you want to get?" "Pizza!"Both boys exclaim like it's Christmas. "Okay," Harper chuckles. "As long as the place has a salad to offer as well."Ok, miss healthy," Benjamin jokes."Well , I have to make sure my body can seduce people when I want to," Harper jokes around, leaving the library. Harper loved school days. It removed her from everything going on in personal life.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jay's Pov" All I'm saying is Justin looks like an uphill battle. ""The kid lost him mother and then did a year in prison. He just needs to get his barrings," Erin said, defending Justin.Jay knew how it felt to go off the rails after losing someone, especially a mother to cancer ."Did you see the attitude he gave me in the gym?" Jay pointed out."If I just got out of Statesville and had to shake hands with a bunch of cops , I would have the same attitude.""I don't think it's as much as I'm a cop, as Justin thinks I'm your boyfriend," Jay says, playing it slick. "You wish.""No, you wish," Jay says with a smirk on his face."No, you wish," Erin says, giving Jay a little push.Little did the detectives know, Voight had witnessed their little encounter." Alright , so our girl in the E.R. is Amber Morris. Amber and her 3 friends here are all undergraduates at Central Chicago University. This is who we are looking for."Jay announcing, finally getting identification for the case."Checked Amber's Facebook page, there's pictures of them living it up in Cabo, but not just from this trip. Amber has been done there twice in the last three months."Lindsay mentions."First time she did it by herself, now she's recruited friends."Antonio adds on."Now we have to assume all these girls are mules and have ingested the same types of balloons packed with coke," Voight states."Hey guys, I ran down those girls' addresses, all three live on campus."Jin announces while walking in."We gotta move," Antonio says."Let's go," Erin says to Jay , patting him on the chest."You like working in this unit. You keep in it your pants," Voight warns." I didn't know it was out," Jay says, trying to come off as a joke in the matter."Erin's off limits, end of discussion," Voight warns while walking away, leaving a confused Jay behind.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Alright, Hank, just keep us posted on the van," Erin says , getting off the phone with Voight.Erin and Jay were currently the hospital, waiting for their victim to wake up."So messed up, these girls out there have no idea," Erin says , thinking out loud."Ya.""I'm gonna need a drink when this is done, what you say," Erin says, extending the invitation to Jay to join."Oh, I don't think your dad would like that," Jay says sarcastically, but a little truth behind it." What are you talking about?" Erin asks , feeling a little offended. "What do you think I'm talking about."If it wasn't for the doctor telling them that their victim was awake, the conversation would have gone on forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harper's pov"Hey Harp, I'm taking you straight to practice after school correct ", Trevor asks, approaching Harper's lunch table.Trevor's drives us after school to organize crime, or in this case, practice. Apparently, he's the most trustworthy on the road."Ya, Jay will pick me up from practice .""How did you get into figure skating?" Benjamin asks, feeling left out from the conversation. " My mom loved figure skating , and when she moved to Chicago, she was given the chance to make it big; and she did in her own way.""Two U.S. Gold Metals" Benjamin murmurs behind a cough; receiving a look from Harper."Well Yes, and once she had kids, she gave them the opportunity to fall in love with the ice just as much as she did.""Wait - Jay a figure skater too," Trevor asks, jokingly. "No, but I would pay to see that," Harper says with a little smile on her face. " Jay went to the Arena to learn how to skate when he was younger, but Jay loved hockey and was good. He had a full ride scholarship to play professional in the future, but he chose the Rangers instead. ""Well, which once got him more girls," Trevor asks, like that was what mattered."Hockey, I think." "But that's besides the point. I have always loved skating. Not only is it a place I can go to get away from everything and sometimes everyone, but it's one of the last things that connects me to my mom."" Hey, didn't the arena used to be called something else, but Marry changed it a couple of years back?" Benjamin asks."It did get changed," Harper replies."It used to be called Mary James All star Arena, but it got changed to Mary Elizabeth's All-Star Arena a couple of years after my mom passed.""She did it to honor your mom," Trevor realizes. "Yes," Harper answers. " Mary always said if it wasn't for Elizabeth, her Arena wouldn't have been successful. My mom was apparently the main topic for her place. She still is today."Harper said.The trio went silent for a few minutes, remembering Elizabeth Halstead, and how she was happiness, if the emotion was a person.( Marry is Harper's Coach )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Erin's pov ( bet you didn't expect that )"Hank, we need to talk," Erin says , all serious ."Come on," Hank replies, walking to his office with an annoyed Erin following behind."The overprotective father thing was fine when I was a teenager, but I don't need you looking out for me anymore. ""It's Halstead. I'm looking out for," Hank replies. "I've seen what's happen to the guys you date."What is that supposed to mean?" Erin asks, offended. "You've left a string of broken hearts behind you since you were fifteen," Hank states, leaving Erin in shock. " I need Halstead 100 percent affected, not throwing pebbles at your window at 3 in the morning. "" You can't tell me who I can and can't hang out with on my personal time," Erin states." My unit, my rules. You want to date a cop there are plenty of other districts out there."Erin walks away, slamming the door, offended by what her adopted father just said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jay's pov"Just watched my back," Hank said to Jay , walking in a little bar."Gavin Collins," Hank shouted, getting his attention." Hank," Gavin groaned. " We're in the middle of a game."" Well, congratulations, you won," Hank said, handing the money to the opponent to get him away from the scene."This morning, I had two nephews. Do you wanna explain that?"Gavin retorts, putting his pool stick down." Your nephews use girls to swallow cocaine and bring it up from Mexico. Brendan took us on a high-speed chase. He dug his own grave." Hank said, grabbing a pool stick."Sorry. I ain't got time to talk. After this, I gotta go see my sister grieve. So take your college junkie whores and shove 'em up your ass."Hank didn't like that response so he brings the pool stick down on Gavin's knuckles , getting a scream out of him." Gimme that!" Hank grunts, fighting with some guy with a gun."Keep him down", Hank orders a very shocked Jay."Your nephew Seam is out there right now with three kidnapped girls. Odd are they don't make it through the night if I don't find them" Hamk says, while putting a loaded gun in Gavin's mouth."He's got a stash out somewhere. You got three seconds, to give me the address, or I'm gonna blow your brains all over the floor.""One""Two" And that's exactly what Gavin did...give Hank the address .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harper's Pov "Hey Harper", Nathan Coleman said , walking up to Harper's desk . Nathan Coleman is probably the most popular jock in the school. It does help that his dad is Zachary Coleman, Lieutenant for Vice."Hey Nathan.""So, you know the school dance is coming up" Nathan smooth talked. " Do you have a date yet?"" No, I've had people ask me but I wasn't interested", Harper replied."Would you be interested in going with me", Nathan pleaded.Harper thought for a second. Should she listen to James and go for it, or should she just go with friends."Sure, I'll love to", Harper replied, surprising herself." Perfect, text me the color of your dress", Nathan replied walking back to his desk."Ok"What no one knew was that Benjamin had heard it all , and at this point he didn't know what to feel.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jay's pov"Should I sneak out the fire escape?", Jay ask Erin, after she answered the door to Voight."I got to go take care of something real quick", Erin replies. " Thank you for being here. Today was a rough one.""You've been there for me before", Jay says staring at Erin like she's the most beautiful women on the earth. Erin went to say something but she lost her words." I might wait like 5 minutes before I leave" Jay mentions before Erin leaves the apartment ."Sure."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harper's Pov" So Harper, did you listen to my advice and get yourself a date to the dance" James ask. " Actually yes", Harper says, sitting down next o James at the bar."Ooo , is it Benjamin", James asks , raising his voice and acting all girly like."No , it's Nathan , Lieutenant Coleman's son.""Oh.""What?" , Harper asks, confused. Harper had told a few people she was going with Natham to the dance , and everyone sounded disappointed, like they thought she was going with someone else.""No nothing", James said dropping the conversation for the night .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A/N : Chapter 5 is completed. I apologize for the delay, school is giving assignment like it's cash. Who did you guys wantHarper to go to the dance with?I wanted to mention that the "bar" James and Harper were talking at going to be called "Frederick's." It's going to have the vibe of Molly's but on the north side of Chicago. Also, it is going to be like a Dave busyer kind of restaurant where children can sit at the bar to eat and Sdults can drink at the same time. Hope that made sense.
