( Harper's Pov )"Good morning, Gail, Danny," Harper greets , entering the Corson's home."Good morning Harper, what brings you buy so early , don't you have school honey?"Gail asks."I have school in exactly an hour and 20 minutes. Enough time to ask my important question.""Of course, take a seat, I'll get you hot coco", Gail says, pointing to the couch."So what is the important matter?"Gail asks, returning with the coco."To cut to the chase, Commander Perry wants to re open the Ben Corson Case and wants to ask for consent before doing so," Harper announces, leaving both Corson's in shock."Why out of the blue though," Gail asks quietly , tears starting to form in her eyes."To gain Justic is the main reason. It's time to put an end to this brutal case."" How is he so sure this time won't be a failure like the other?"Danny asks, speaking for the first time since she's arrived."Because theirs new information," Harper states, causing both Corson's to look up at her interested."Lonnie was found taunting and tormenting two kids at the elementary around the corner. A 8 year old boy with brown hair and hazel eyes and a 9 year old girl with brown hair and blue eyes. Along with freckles. If you put those pieces together.""They match the description of Ben and you when the case happend", Gail finishes, in shock."Exactly," Harper says, quieting down."What does Perry want us to do?"Danny asks."For one , which you can complete now, is to give me all the information and files you have on the case. The original files are not the ones that block me out as a witness. Also,if you don't mind, Perry would like two cops, either James or Jay, who both know you personally, to pass by and ask general questions. That's all, "Harper informs."Of course , we can do that," Gail says , a smile forming on her face."Than it's settled, we will help," Danny says , a smile forming on his face as well. Which looks rather odd to say."Then I can say it. Justice for Ben"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Hanks Pov )" They still got those bracelets on you? Sorry about that."Stillwell apologizes. "We got Maurice Owen's, so that's good.""If you'd waited, we'd have him for a hell of a lot more than bribery."Voights states back."Yeah, I know, but it was time, don't you think?"Stillwell asks with a hint of sarcasm."Yeah, you made your point. You're the boss until the tide washes you out, and they bring in your replacement."Voight fires back, already fed up with Stillwell"How's Detective Sumner fitting into your unit?"Stillwell asks, changing the subject."Why don't you ask her yourself?""She's not working for me if that's what you're getting at.She's just a friend."Stillwell says , annoying Voight."Question: Jay Halstead. You know anything about this restraining order against him, more importantly the restraining order he filed against Phil and Lonnie Rodiger that is registered for what it says , a female minor?"Stillwell asks. "I go after criminals, not cops."Voight answers.As Stillwell talks about his diet analogy and more nonsense, Voight couldn't help but wonder about the restraining order registered for the minor. This was new information to him.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Jay's Pov)"Hey, man. What's up?"Adam greets."That's cute. Do you think I'm here for you?"Jay sasses."Come on. Let's go get changed."Adam tells kim, leaving Jay and Jin alone."Lonnie Rodger's credit card.""Yeah, I know. Working on the court order, "Jay answers Jin."Another hit came back from a Humboldt Park home depot. He purchased a two-person tent, kerosene lamp, and bug spray."Jin informs."So he's going camping?"Jay says."And some rope and duct tape," Jin adds, answering Jay's suspicion.He's going after another kid.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Hank's Pov )" Remember when we first started and I told you sometimes you might have to do some things off the books?"Hank asks Jin."Yeah, I remember.""That only applies to me.""What did Halstead come to you about?"Voight asks sternly, putting Jin in a tough position. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Jay's Pov )"This'll only take a minute," Jay tells Erin, leaving her in the car, confused."You scope out your next victim yet," Jay questions Lonnie at the front door."I don't know what you're talking about."Lonnie replies, hiding behind Phil."Maybe you can alibi him out after this one, too."Jay argues back, this time towards Phil."Just get off my property!'Phil replies."Yeah, call the cops," Jay sasses back, knowing it would do absolutely nothing since the cops on the north side all know Jay and are not a huge fan of the Rodiger's ."What? Are you here to rough him up?"Phil accuses."He bought duct tape and rope up the streets last night," Jay answers, revealing that he knows of Lonnie's late night outings."You remember how they found Ben Corson!"Jay mentions, remembering that horrific day. Ben was found in the bushes in his own front yard. Hands bruised with rope burns, mouth with duct tape still attached. His hair was matted, and he was completely naked. His clothes from the day of the attack were folding nicely, some psychopathic shit. His underwear was cut and placed behind. Ben was covered in blood. Most of the blood got on Harper when she found the body. Her innocence tried to put the blood back inside him, thinking it would work. Jay hates remembering the day the Williams called Jay, saying she found the body. He was horrified for himself and his sister."What, are you monitoring him?"Phil accuses."Your son is a pedophile and a killer, and everyone knows it. It's a matter of seconds until he's put behind bars, and I can't wait for that day, "Jay says, ending the conversation there and then."What was that?"Erin asks when Jay gets into the car."Just drive," Jay replies, pissed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Harper's Pov)"Hey Harp , come here real quick," Commander Perry calls, walking into his office."What's up?", Harper asks."We're you able to pass by the Corson's this morning to get their consent before moving forward on the investigation.""Yes. They are on board. I have the files they gave me in my bag and they are open to James or Jay passing by to ask questions. They just ask for this to finally succeed so no other parent has to go through what they did", Harper replies, re-callung earlier events."Perfect; and trust me I don't intend to fail. On a more personal question, how are you taking it with the reopening of the case", Perry asks , giving her a look that says don't lie."I don't know. I'm over the moon that we have a chance to get justice; but a part of me hopes that two more innocent souls don't have to die just to gain that justice.", Harper says, tears forming."Hey", Perry says, grabbing her hand in a gentle touch, " We are not going to fail. No one else is going to die.""Ok?""Okay.", Harper assures.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Hank's Pov )"Commander", Voight greets, closing the door to his mander Perry what is stepping in for Commander Leising while he's at a boards meeting." Russell Thompson...he just died," Perry announces."Sorry to hear that.""Olinsky's daughter saw the guy who shot him. Right now, she's our only eyewitness.'Perry says."Lexi was scared. She mis - remembered a few things. "Voight tries to justify. "Save it," Perry sighs."When I heard the only other witness was Alvin's little girl, my heart dropped. The last time I saw her,she was about yay high, 6 and a half, and she's just running up and down the hall in these pink overalls and pigtails.""Reminds me of Halstead's sister when she was little," Perry mumbles, making sure it was for only his ears."If you don't catch the shooter without Lexi, we're going to have to use her; and as much as I don't want to, I don't have as much authority as I do on the North side", Perry says." I'm not comfortable with that," Voight rebuttals."That's too bad cause there's been a development.Once Perry finished saying what he said , he exited the office, leaving Voight alone and in thought.Two words stuck with Voight while Perry was recalling Lexi when she was a child. "Halstead and Sister" were the words.And Voight couldn't be in any more shock.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•( Jay's Pov )" I told you to let the Rodiger thing go."Voight says , after calling Jay into his office."I have for the most part," Jay says , lying straight through his teeth."If you're not straight with me. I can't protect you."Voight says, making Jay pissed . When Antonio son was kidnapped, everyone did everything and anything to get him back safely. Today, Olinsky's daughter is a witness, and everyone is going beyond to protect her from being a witness. But with Ben, who was like a little brother to Jay, all everyone told him was to drop it. For Jay, that's hard to do when your sister has been a target ever since she's was smart enough to run that day."Protect me? Weren't you just in custody? Who are you to give advice?"Jay replies , pissed off."Don't push me," Voight says, getting pissed. " I will run you out of this until like that." "I think Lonnie's gonna kill another kid," Jay fesses up, partially, not mentioning his sister could be " that kid.""You got eyes on you , Halstead. I've warned you all I can."Voight replies, dismissing Jay.Just like everyone else in this unit, all Jay's gets is a good luck and not a helping hand. For the most part, Jay couldn't care. He has Commander Perry, the entire organized crime unit, along with vice some of Homicide from the North side of the Chicago Police department. Or as Harper puts it.Their Blue Family~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Harper's Pov)" Okay, popcorn, kit kat , chocolate sauce and reeces is left," Harper reads her grocery list for her "suits" all nighter."Oh, the tools section, wonder if they have a new cover for my taser," Harper wonders, walking into the tool section."Um, excuse can I grab something real quick," a man's voice asks."Oh yes of-", as Harper turned around, she's face with the one and only... Lonnie Rodiger. Whose as frozen as her. It's not until Harper sees what he wants that she gets pissed. "A wood axe huh, trying to cut another dick of a little boy Lonnie," Harper asks, getting up in his face."I have a restraining order... so if you can please move, "Lonnie asks, trying to grap the axe but having no luck due to Harper blocking his every move."Well guess what, so do I, so move," Harper repeats, getting up in his face."Can I get some help here?" Lonnie calls out, causing Harper to think fast."How can I help you sir", the worker asked, coming our way."This girl won't let me grab the axe I am trying to purchase," Lonnie complains, whining like the 5 year old. Must learn it from the cries they scream when he R*pes them."Actually, I was here first and am purchasing them all for a woodshop school project."Harper makes up on the spot."Oh ok," the worker says, looking Lonnie up and down like he's a creep. Thank good he looks like a crazy person on the outside aswell . "Are you ready to pay ma'am?"the worker asks Harper." Not yet. I have to look for a few more things," Harper says, walking away to go "look"As Lonnie leaves the store mad, Harper hides all 15 axes in between the baby diapers and sneaks out the store when the worker isn't looking~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( Harper's Pov )"A little more kit kat and chocolate , and ta-da. Chocolate popcorn, "Harper says, talking to herself.Jay was currently as James house watching the game, so Harper was home alone.As Harper sets her popcorn down on the couch and turns on the TV to put on "Suits," she hears the phone ring."I got it - well, duh, I'm the only one here.""Harper speaking," Harper answers , grabbing the milk to pour herself a glass."Hey Harper , it's Perry, are you in a private area?" Perry asks her seriously. "Yes , why, what's wrong?" Harper asks, getting worried."Okay, there's no way to sugar coat it."" Perry, you're getting me worried.""Lonnie Rodiger was found dead 10 minutes ago."With those words, Harper freezes. Unsure if she should feel happy that's he's gone for good or angry that he doesn't get to suffer in jail. But as the reality sinks in, Harper is left frozen. All she can think is that he's really dead...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A/n : Finally! I POSTED!!! I have been super busy over break and finally had the energy and motivation to write the next chapter. This was a huge one, filled with many clues about the true Ben Corson case. The next chapter is most likely going to be entirely from my imagination. Votes, comments, and suggestions help tremendously.
Do you think Voight is going to find out about Halstead's biggest weakness and secret??????
