Reunite Her

Safe

*District 21: Bullpen*

Hank, who had a file in hand, and Ana walked in from the Basement/Garage Area just as Jay and Hailey came out of the Break Room. The two Sergeants instantly clocked a tiny movement from the blonde and glanced down to see her hand lingering on the small of her partner's back. They shared a quick look before moving towards their normal areas.

"Hey, Sarge, you got a sec?" The female Detective inquired once she spotted the brunette at her desk.

"Always." Ana smiled, stuffing her hands into her jacket pockets. "What's up?"

"Um, I just wanted to talk to you about what happened last night." The younger woman explained, referring to how she was suppose to teach a class at the police academy but never showed.

"Is everything okay?" The elder wondered.

"Yeah, just something personal came up." Hailey shrugged.

"Anything to be concerned about?" Ana prodded, gently.

"No, it was just a dinner." The blonde shook her head. "I'm really sorry, Sarge."

"Hailey, 97% of the class still needs to be trained, you're good." Hank assured, having appeared in the doorway to his Office while they were talking.

He turned to head back inside but another voice had him staying in place.

"Guys, call came over the zone. Home invasion in progress, Goethe and Stone. Sounds like the same crew we've been tracking." Kim informed, urgently.

"All right, put us down responding." The older man ordered. "Have patrol hold down that perimeter, let's go."

He paused and glanced back at his wife, remembering the conversation they had a few weeks ago. Ana just let out a small sigh and nodded for him to go on with the rest of team. Hank hesistated, gazing at her sadly, but rushed off anyway.

*A Little While Later*

"So, the witness was spot on about the BMW. These are the best shots that we got from the doorbell cam. The small offender gets away with a bag of stolen goods. The other offender hops in this car and the tags come back to a recent stolen from Lake Forest. It's a dead end after that, my friends." Kevin informed, holding up two photos before taping them to the whiteboard.

"Well, we got an inventory of what was stolen?" Hank wondered from his usual spot next to his wife's desk.

"Well, it was insured, so list is pretty detailed. They mostly got Megan's jewelry. Peter Harper's another story. They got his Submariner Rolex. Diamond bezel and lugs." Adam listed.

"That's at least 50 dimes." Kevin pointed out.

"Yeah." The other male Officer agreed.

"Maybe those guys knew about the Rolex. You know, maybe these hits aren't random. Every place that's been hit has had a safe and specific valuables." Hailey reasoned. "These guys are obviously doing their homework. So if we figure out how, maybe we can catch them."

"All right." Hank nodded, sharing a look with Ana.

"Check out some POD footage I've been looking at." Kim spoke up, rushing over to the empty desk across from hers while everyone else gathered around.

"Okay." The brunette gestured for her to continue.

"So, this is our Beamer. Plates are confirmed, you can't see the occupants. And this is I90, 11:17 am. It's 25 minutes after the Harper robbery. The Beamer gets off at West Lawn, heads south." The female Officer explained, typing a bit while they watched the video. "Now. . . there's three pawn shops, and a couple of thrift stores within one mile radius of that exit. I don't think that's a coincidence."
