In Your Care

Yn's POV

"Okay, so what do we think happened?" Voight asked. 

"Well, right now, we're betting on a failed carjacking. There's been a 40% increase in carjackings in that neighborhood this month alone. Perfect territory. There's a through line from downtown, usually pretty void of pedestrians, meaning there's a hell of a lot of high-end vehicles on a quiet street," Kevin pointed out.

"The victim was driving a $90,000 BMW, and there was evidence of a beating inside and outside the car, so they pulled him out," Jay added. 

"So a new, young crew tries to jack Jeff's car. Things go wrong. Maybe Jeff fights back or the kids get spooked. Crew takes off, hop in their buddy's car and Jeff tries to drive away," Hailey suggested. 

"Hey. I got a hit on the offender's car. A gray SUV was clocked on PODs two blocks away," Kim spoke. 

"You get an angle on the windows?" Adam asked. 

"Can't see inside or see plates, but I ran the car through our HOT file. A gray SUV was reported stolen two months ago by a Jessica Ramirez. And guess what? Jessica works at a DCFS center with kids aging out of the system. Teenagers," Kim stated. 

"Okay, that's good. You and Adam check it out," Voight said. As Kim and Adam left the bullpen, I headed into the breakroom where Jay was brewing some coffee.

"Hey. I missed you this morning," I tell Jay and wrap my arms around him.

"Sorry," Jay said and squeezed me softly. "Hailey and I had to roll on that call."

"All right," I murmur and lean up to place a kiss on Jay's lips. "You want to go out on patrol with Hailey?"

"Sure. Lets go," Jay responded. So Hailey, Jay and I climbed into Jay's truck and went down to the neighborhood where the carjackings were taking place, and while we were down there, a call came over the radio about a carjacking.

"Kim and Adam, you got ears in?" I question. 

"Yeah. Go ahead," Adam replied. 

"A call came in over the zone. On-view carjacking, three masked offenders. Sounds a whole lot like our crew. Jay, Hailey and I are around the corner. The call came from the intersection of Kostner and Wilcox," I inform them and turn off my radio. Just as I did, a car came out of nowhere from an adjoining alley.

"Jay!" Hailey shouted. Jay swerved to avoid the car, and then sped up, cutting the other car off. A kid then climbed out of the car and took off. I got out of the car, but just before I could chase after Jay who was running after the kid, I heard screaming. 

"Help! Help me!" I looked around to see where the screaming was coming from, and that's when I spotted a few kids beating a guy up outside of his car.

"Hailey! Follow me," I order and take off in a run towards the kids. "Hey! Chicago PD! Stop!" As soon as the kids saw me, they took off, and I knelt down next to the man. Kim and Adam arrived seconds later, and Hailey ran over to them.

"Two of them are armed! They went that way!" Hailey exclaimed and pointed in the direction the kids fled in.

"Medics took the victim to Chicago Med. He had signs of a massive heart attack. His name's Troy Wrightman, 62 years old. This is his car. He' married and has no children or priors. The kids that we saw fleeing, it looks like they were three males and a female," I inform Voight and Kevin. 

"Ruzek's talking to a witness. Says he saw two kids rush the car," Jay said. 

"Two? What happened to the third?" Kevin questioned.
