*District 21: Hank's Office*

Trudy was standing in front of the owner, Ana, and Jay. A young man had walked up the front desk and gave her some very useful information which she was now relaying to the three before her.

". . .So this guy goes to an interview for a babysitting job, and today he recognizes the woman he talked to from the news. She's the Jane Doe with the baby who died from the bug. They just moved here from Utah." The Desk Sergeant informed

"Okay. . ." Ana gestured for her to continue.

"While she's interviewing him, she gets in a beef with an exterminator. She doesn't want him spraying near the apartment because it's toxic and she has a baby." Trudy explained, waving her hands around a bit. "Guess where she lived."

"45 South Fairfield?" Jay guessed and she nodded in reply.

"Ground zero." Hank muttered, looking down at his wife.

*Bullpen: A Little While Later*

Hank and Ana were on one side of the whiteboard while Jay was on the other. The three were filling Adam and Kim in on what they learned.

"All right, so all of our victims have come from one or two places." The Detective began.

"The CCU lab or this apartment building." The brunette continued.

"And there's some mystery bug sprayer." The older man added, gesturing outwards with his hands before shoving them into his pockets.

"So when was this?" Adam inquired, standing up from where he'd been sitting on Antonio's old desk.

"This was yesterday morning." Jay replied.

"Well, it definitely wasn't Stuart Anderson. I mean, he was dying in his hospital bed." The male Officer pointed out.

"On top of that, the OCD techs ran the source code behind the threatening messages on the college server." His female counterpart spoke up as she appeared beside him with an open file. "Anderson's IP address was spoofed. Somebody made it look like the threats came from Anderson."

"So that's gotta be our offender just covering his tracks." Jay reasoned.

"Okay, well, whoever this guy is, he had access to the CCU lab and he stole the bacteria before burning the lab down to destroy any evidence." Ana recalled. "So let's find out where he bought his bug spraying equipment."

"And we want a full rundown on South Fairfield." Hank added, heading towards his Office before pausing and turning back around with a hard look in his eyes. "We're gonna nail this son of a bitch before he infects more people."

*Chicago Med: Sharon Goodwin's Office*

Ana had finally taken a trip back to 51 to change out of her turnout gear before joining Hank in seeing if there was anyway they could interview the tenants of the building now dubbed as "Ground Zero."

The male Sergeant was seated at a long conference table with the brunette stranding next to him and Sharon and Daniel in front of them.

"Look, we still haven't even ID'd the suspect, let alone found the connection to 45 South Fairfield." Hank pointed out. "So we need to interview the tenants of that building and see if they know anything."

"Well, they're in quarantine, and we can't release them until we're sure that they haven't been infected and that they're not contagious." Sharon explained.

"So I'll interview them in quarantine." He retorted.

"Hank, I mean, at this point a number of these people are, emotionally, extremely fragile, and I got one woman who might even be psychotic." Daniel argued. "She's definitely suffering from paranoid delusions."
