"Olivia?" Logan asked walking into the hospital with Adam by her side. The older woman turned and gave her a small smile.

"Logan, wow, look at you." She said and opened her arms, wrapping her arms around the girl's shoulders. Logan hugged her back and pulled away looking into her eyes.

"Is this really what I think it is?" She asked and Olivia sighed and nodded.

"Unfortunately." She said and Logan nodded and breathed in deeply and looked at Olivia.

"I'm going to go see what I can find out at the district, let me know how things go here." She said and Olivia nodded and Logan left.

"So we're looking at a serial rapist." Logan said and Olivia nodded as they were all back at the district.

"Any theories why this man stopped for 10 years?" Adam asked and Olvia shrugged.

"Sadly, we don't know if he truly did." She said and Logan nodded and Olivia looked at her and gave her a small smile. Logan sighed and stood speaking, knowing what Olivia was doing.

"So, our suspect is a male, white, 5'9, approximately 40 years old. He's either in the medical field or obviously posing as someone who is. There's nothing physically distinctive about him. No birthmarks, burn marks, scars, nothing." Logan said standing up from her desk and she looked at Olivia who gave her a proud smile and Voight spoke.

"Halstead, Rayner, go hit up the building, CFD is there waiting for you two." He said and Logan nodded and turned to leave, walking passed Nadia and gave her a small smile. Nadia looked up and spoke.

"Hey, Mouse wanted me to let you know to pass by his desk later." He said and Logan nodded and thanked her and went to go meet up with CFD.

"Offender balled up newspaper and shredded rubber and pilled it near the victim. Then he left a trail of the same combo by the back door. Used light fluid as the accelerant lit it and then left out the back door." Matt said and Logan stepped through the red tape and looked around the room. She bent down and saw a bottle of charred nail polish and she spoke.

"Halstead." She said and Matt and Jay looked at he and she opened the bottle and the green paint was on the brush.

"No doubt about it now." She said and Jay shook his head and looked at her.

"Alright, I'll go call Voight." He said and Logan nodded and she turned to Casey.

"I'm not having a good feeling about this." Logan said and Matt sighed and placed an arm around her shoulder.

"If it makes you feel better, we all miss you at 51." He said and Logan chuckled, shaking her head and her radio went off.

"Suspect apprehended." She heard Roman say and she sighed and pointed to her radio.

"Gotta go, send everyone my love." She said and kissed Matt's cheek as she ran to go with Jay back to the district.

Logan watched the man speaking to Erin and she shook her head.

"There's no way that this guy isn't our suspect." She said out loud and Adam nodded, agreeing with her and she walked out to go to Nadia who was with Mouse. Mouse looked up at Logan and laughed.

"You look like hell." He said and she rolled her eyes and glared at him.

"No thanks to you."She mumbled and Nadia smirked at their banter. Soon the door to the interrogation room opened and the man walked passed Logan and Nadia, staring at the two of them and spoke.

"Hello." He said and walked passed them, causing Nadia to make eye contact with Logan who sighed.

"I gotta go run to the firehouse quickly, be back soon." Logan said and Voight nodded and she went to her car and drove to the firehouse.

Logan stepped inside the firehouse and looked around the place and saw Squad at their tables. Capp looked up at Logan and spoke.

"What, big shot Detective misses her old job where she could come here and see us whenever she wants?" He joked and Logan gave him a sarcastic laugh and spoke.

"Ha, ha, you're so funny Capp. Actually I needed to speak to your girlfriend." She said and Capp's eyes furrowed inwards.

"Dylan and I aren't dating, Logan. She's with Otis." He said and Ferraris punched his arm.

"Really?" Logan asked and Capp nodded and grimaced.

"Truck went out on a field trip, they should be back later." Capp said and Logan shook her head and spoke, not looking at Kelly.

"Nah, it's alright, just tell her it was about dinner with our sisters." She said and Capp nodded and Logan left.

"Raise your left hand." Logan said looking at Nadia and Nadia raised it and Logan spoke again, fixing her elbow.

"Make sure your elbow is out and you raise your hand slowly." She said and Nadia nodded and lowered her hand and raised it again.

"Perfect, now, when you get inducted you have to stay like this until everyone in your class is done. I remember staying like that for an hour."She said and Nadia grimaced and spoke.

"I hope make it."She said and Logan smiled and spoke.

"You got this." She said and Nadia nodded and raised an eyebrow.

"Come with me to take out the garbage? I don't want to walk in the back alone." She said and Logan nodded and smiled, helping her grabbed all of the garbage.

Logan threw the last bag into the canister and she and Nadia turned and jumped when a man was in front of them.

"Hello." He said and hit Nadia and Logan over the head with a crowbar, knocking them both out.
