*three days later*

"Sarge what're we doing? We've got nothing, she's not talking about anything. It's not working. She's at risk here" jay sighed as he walked into the bullpen, he's been 'working' at northside for quite a few days now and all they had was a number of casualties, none of them pointing to what they want. Hank sighed and walked out, "I know I know, look, we'll give it one more day or two and if we have nothing still them we'll just have to work from the start again" he sighed, clearly getting bored and annoyed too. Jay nodded, "yeah, alright" he sighed and walked over to the team to see what they were talking about.

                    Hazel walked into school the next morning feeling fine, apart from night times when all of the trauma and stress hits her, she's completely normal. She slid onto Emily's desk as she put her thumbs up at mr Miller, aka jay, "hey you, I'm not giving you the option, you're coming tonight" Emily laughed and caught her before she slid off the desk. Hazel groaned a little, "do you really think that's the best idea? I mean..." she tilted her head. Emily shrugged, "oh c'mon, you don't have to drink, that's a wise idea, just be there, you're fun and the life of the party so pleassseeee" she gave her the puppy dog eyes.  Hazel laughed as josh walked up behind her and leant his elbows on her shoulder, "alright fine, okay" she laughed a little.  Jay was just stood behind them, he figured they were talking about another party, but he found it sweet, the bond they all have, and he was pretty sure he could see some kind of relationship bond between josh and hazel which was even more sweet, cute even.

Later that day the kids left school and had gone home already, hazel pulled her phone out of her pocket and texted the group chat.
Hazel: "pink or red?"
Emily: "red"
Josh: "blue"
Jamie: "don't quite think that was an option pal"
Josh: "hdjsisisjendjdi"
Hazel: "red it is then"

She picked out her outfits but waited until closer to the party to change so it didn't get creased, it was just a nice simple red body con dress, silk of course, with a cropped black denim jacket and black heels. Once it was around 5:30pm she set off walking to this random guys house, she pulled out her phone again to text the chat to let them know she was on her way.
Hazel: "omw now dood"
Emily: "good"

It didn't take long for the party to get into full swing, there was booze, music, dancing, lots of people, and smoking, but she didn't really fancy participating in that, not unless someone really persuaded her. She found Emily and Jamie sat with Josh on the couch just waiting for her, "hey" she smiled and sat next to josh, using him as a back rest. They talked, made tiktoks, and drank, all apart from hazel off course, she stuck with lemonade since she still needed to convince people she was spiked not kidnapped.

Jay walked into the wire room next to the garage in the district after hailey called him saying she had something important for him, "I got here as fast as I could" he furrowed his brows. Hailey nodded and stood up, "CPIC sent over some footage of a shooting" she sighed and passed him a file. Jay tilted his head, "why another case?" He huffed. Hailey shook her head, "just take a look" she tilted the screen to him. He moved next to her to get a better look at the screen, "is that..." he pointed to a small girl next to a taller man. Hailey nodded, "that's hazel" she folded her arms. Jay stood up and rubbed his hand over his mouth, "did she?" He couldn't even bring the m word into his vocabulary at the moment. Murder. That's not something he would associate hazel with...
