"So where are we at?" I heard Antonio's voice just as I stepped out of the breakroom where I was grabbing a small snack while I waited for everyone to return.

"Both dudes are sticking to the script. They got nothing to do with the rips, the murders." Jay told him as all three of them stepped foot back into the office.

"Alibi?" Antonio questioned, following up with what they all knew, that if they had nothing to do with the murders then they would have to be cleared first.

"Drinking beer in the abandoned house," Kim responded with less enthusiasm, sitting back at her desk. Trudy had just barely come up the other way and was standing there expectantly as Antonio made his way over to her.

"Hey. I just talked with Sarah Montero, Felix's mom." Trudy faced him while extending the information to the rest of us.

"Get a positive ID?" Antonio asked hopefully. but by the look on her face, we all knew it wasn't good news at all that she was bringing us.

"No. Nobody familiar. So either she didn't get a good look, or these aren't our guys." Platt offered what Jay had just said about our suspects, Miguel Soto and Juan Fernadez.

"My money's on choice B," I spoke up, standing just a few feet away from Jay. I wanted him to know I had back what he had said earlier.

"Choice B? Why?" Adam inquired with some confusion as he looked up from the desk he was sitting at.

"So I just checked out the store the guys said they got the beer from. Timestamped 9:33 AM." I turned the surveillance picture so everyone could see it. Adam ended up taking the picture to look at as I finished up. "Stash house was hit at 9:36 AM. So, it's a twenty minute drive if they hit every green light and no traffic. We got the wrong guys."

"Who the hell gave you the intel?" Antonio questioned Adam, his tone hardened as he expected answers. Adam looked up from the photos, then back down as we all expected a response that wasn't coming. Instead, he backed the chair up, grabbed his jacket and left the room.

"I guess that answers that question," Kevin said quietly as we all tried to make some sense of what had just happened.

"I'll be back." Trudy subtly gestured to me before leaving, which meant she was keeping my word on what I had told her earlier. Good. I was already guessing which of my teammates' reactions would be better on this one.

"Okay." Antonio recovered, stepping back to survey what needed to be done next. "Let's comb over the remaining leads and see what we can find."

"I'll see if the crime lab has something to offer." Jay pulled up a chair to his desk and dialed while Kim and Kevin talked about going through some of the files relevant to where we were now in the case.

"I'll call Fed. Maybe they have some information we could use." Sitting down on the edge of my desk, I turned away from Jay who was already on with the crime lab and Kevin and Kim had settled at the edge of his desk where they bounced ideas off one another.

"Good. I'll talk to gangs and see if there's anything we missed the first time around." Antonio called over his shoulder and took off back down the hall. Just as I had begun my conversation, I felt my phone buzz but ignored it since I was in the middle of a call and in the midst of my co-workers.

"Just talked to the gang unit." Antonio came back in about ten minutes later. "No chatter, no leads."

"Nothing from the crime lab either," Jay said, hanging up the phone a few seconds after he had arrived back.

"There's gotta be some link." Kim was leaning over a bunch of crime scene photos that were now sprawled over half of Jay's desk. "Something that connects these three rips together." She looked frustrated, all within reason since we all seemed to be striking out in every area. Luckily, I could have something but I had to get off the phone first before I could fill them in.

"I just talked to a fed at HIDTA. Think I have a connection" I announced a few minutes later with slightly renewed energy as I rounded the desk. "Turns out Mariano's narcotics squad had sealed search warrants for each of the three stash houses." I pointed, drawing my finger over the three areas circled on the map. "But somehow, the rip crew was able to hit the stash houses before the search warrants were executed."

"You're saying someone tipped the rip crews off?" Kim stated, putting all the facts together. Oh, it was starting to make sense why we had such a hard time figuring out just who was responsible.

"I'm saying the rip crews knew exactly where the stash houses were and that they were loaded with product."

"Because of the search warrants," Antonio added, the frustration melting away as things began to get clearer. We were finally heading in the right direction, and that was a good thing because that meant we would be able to pack up soon. Honestly, I didn't realize how much I was looking forward to spending the weekend with Eva.

"We got a dirty cop in narcotics." Jay looked slightly disappointed knowing it always hit us in different ways when we were faced with taking down one of our own.

"Yeah." I reiterated quietly, noting the time on my computer trying to remember if I had told Eva what time I was coming. I realized that I hadn't but I was still going to try and pick her up at a decent time.

"I'll call Voight." Antonio sighed, pulling his phone from his pocket. "Hey, we got a lead on the case and I think you're going to want to hear about this one. We have solid evidence that narcotics hit the stash houses before the search warrants were executed on the stash houses."
