The Truth Behind the Badges

Deja Vu

Kira's POV

I had just got back from a call when my phone rang, Anna, what could she possibly want now. I got out of the Truck and walked over to a corner out of ear shot and answered the phone.

Kira: Hey what's up?
Anna: Hey sis, look I know we aren't really talking much but I need your help with a case.
Kira: I can't just up and leave right now I'm still on shift till tomorrow morning and why do you need me?
Anna: Six girls have been killed already, I'm going undercover with another detective, but we need a third person. Can we put our argument aside and help prevent any more bodies? Please.
Kira: Again, why me? I'm not a cop.
Anna: We need another girl, and before you say Harper, no, this unit can't risk losing another sergeant. That and I want someone I know and trust to be there with me. I'll explain everything when you get here if you're willing to help.
Kira: I...ugh... fine I'll go talk with Casey see if I can come by but I'm still on call, so I'll have to leave the moment a call comes in.
Anna: I understand, thank you.

I ended the call and went to find my Lieutenant and Chief, luckily for me Casey and Severide like to hang out in Boden's office and that's exactly where they were. I walked up to the closed door and knocked, they all looked over at me and motioned for me to enter. "What can I do for you Kira?" Boden asked looking up at me. "Sorry to interrupt, I just got off the phone with Anna, is it ok if I take an hour and run over to see what she needs, I understand if I can't..." I said looking over between the three men. "Your sister Anna? I thought you guys weren't talking after what happened to Lisa and her slamming your head into the wall." Kelly said looking over at me with a confused look. "We weren't...aren't...um...it's complicated." I said kind of defeated with the whole thing. "81 could go for a drive, we do need to stop for gas anyway, we can drop her off at the district, just keep our radios on." Matt said, I looked up hopeful that the chief would agree. Boden nodded and we walked out. Once we reached the common room Matt shouted at everyone, "81 lets go for a ride!" we all went out and partly geared up. We stopped for gas first then headed for the district. I was staring out the window as we drove, "I thought Anna was a patrolman." Matt said looking back at me bringing me out of my daze. I looked over at him and quickly sat up off the door, "She is but there's perks of working in a district your mom ran, the new sergeant was partners with our mom and Lisa, so Anna gets pulled up to help out when needed. When we were kids, mom would bring us up and every now and then we'd help out on cases."

Once at the district I quickly climbed out leaving my coat in my seat and zipping my jacket up fully, "I don't think it will take too long." I said closing the door behind me, hearing the doors open again as everyone followed behind, Chicago winters were not nice, and the district is warmer than our Truck. We all quickly made our way up the stairs and into the district, I waved at the desk sergeant and walked over to scan in. I saw the stares from everyone, "Like I said perks of working or visiting a district your mom ran." I said walking up the stairs closing the gate behind me.

Once up I saw two new officers or detectives at the board with their backs towards me and Harper in her office with some other guy, but Anna was nowhere to be seen. I walked over to the board behind the two, quickly scanning over what they knew, "Not much to go on" I said and both cops turned, I think I scared them, "Hey Hailey, hey Jay" I said backing up, they had been by the fire house a few times to help with different things, "Aren't you guys a little out of your area?" I asked as I sat on the desk behind me. Hailey looked at me with a smile that quickly faded, "It's our case but these guys crossed into 23rd's territory, so we called in for some help, Voight's in there talking to Harper now." she said glancing over to Harper office. I nodded following her glance, "How much do we know?" I asked hoping it was more than what was on the board. "You said it perfectly, we don't know much. Anna connected them all threw the fact they all are frequent party goers which isn't uncommon. We never really got far into learning much about these girls, really, they are just kids in the wrong place at the wrong time, at least it feels that way. We did investigate different clubs and bars to see if anyone recognized the girls but people either don't know anything or just aren't talking." Jay said leaning on the desk opposite of the one I was sitting on.

"Well did you investigate the underground clubs in the area? We have a few scattered around the area that many underage kids frequent." I asked with a slightly snarky tone hopping off the desk and walking around to the computer. Jay and Hailey both looked at me like I was slightly crazy, I sat down opening the file resting on the desk to look at the printed posts some of the girls had posted at the clubs. I turned to the screen and pulled up a list of the different clubs, "Most of these girls are underage meaning they wouldn't go to a known bar or club unless they could seriously pull off twenty-one when their what seventeen. Here's a list of underground clubs that are still open. From the photos I'd put my bets on Sundown, it's run by a few kids, mostly causing no harm since they are allowed to stay open. The other two, Pheonix and Moondrop are still popular spots, but they are losing business to Sundown. If these girls are connected through any bar or club, then it would be through one of these." I said handing them a sticky note with the three club names. They shot some weird glances at me but before they could say anything Harper opened her door calling Hailey and I in and as if on cue Anna entered the room and joined us.

"We have about 3 days to find where these guys will strike next. I've talked with Voight, and we are willing to send Hailey and Anna in to try and draw these guys out. Now Kira I don't know what Anna told you but are you willing to go under with them?" Harper spoke while sitting at her desk with Voight standing behind her. "All Anna said was 6 six girls were killed. I saw what was on the board, you guys really don't know much. Even if I agree to this, once I know more, can you even guarantee that we would be safe, and please fill in anything else you know."

I replied leaning against the door beside Hailey. "These men are taking three girls at a time anywhere between the ages of seventeen and twenty. By the time we get to them they've been shot twice in the chest. On top of that each girl was found to have been beaten, stabbed, and raped multiple times. Kira, you know very well that I cannot promise 100% that nothing will go wrong, that is a risk we all take when going undercover." Hearing this caused so many memories to flood my head again, the feeling of his breath on my neck and the tightening of his hands around my wrist and throat. I knew I had frozen by the feeling of Harper's hand gripping my shoulder, bringing me out of my daze, "I won't make you do this if it brings back too many memories, between you and Anna, you know these areas best giving us an advantage." Harper's voice had gone soft, gazing between Anna and Harper for a moment. "It's ok, I'll help, but I have to clear the time off with my Chief." I said sighing, Hailey and Voight had been watching our conversation with a slightly confused look, but they stayed quiet. We carried on discussing the details of the plan when a call came over my radio, "Text me the rest of the details and anything else you find out, I got to go." I said to Harper as I ran out and down the stairs to where everyone was now running out the door and getting into the truck.
