"Intelligence, Atwater." He says picking up the phone. "I'll be back." Antonio tells us. "Thanks. The supervisor from the armored van company I've been trying to get a hold of just went home sick." Atwater tells us. "You and Halstead, let's go." Voight orders. "Which one?" Jay and I ask him. "Alright from now on, you'll be referred to as A." Voight tells me. "Cool." I nod. "Hey. Text me the address." Jay tells Atwater. "Gotcha." Voight entered the bullpen the next day and we all looked at him. "I don't know what you heard, but let me set things straight. In order to get my job back, I made a deal with I.A. The deal was I put myself out there as dirty so I can take down some high-level criminals. I never agreed nor did I ever report on another cop. You can like it or not, that was the deal." Voight tells us as the phone rang. "We should gear up for our meet." Erin tells us. "Yeah. Mm-hmm. "Sergeant? That was Commander Perry. You're wanted back down at the Ivory Tower immediately." Nadia tells him. "All right, call back down there. You tell 'em I want Tim O'Leary at that meeting. Tim O'Leary. Okay." He tells her. "Sit down." Antonio tells our suspect that was locked up in the cage. "Now whether this evidence bag was open or not, or if it broke chain of custody, I don't really give a damn. That's for the state's attorney's office to worry about. Main this is to get Oskar Bembenek showing up with 200k, and heads will roll from there. Wait for the money to be handed over first, then move in." Antonio gives us the run down. "Then we move in quick. Okay? As you can tell, Bembenek and his brother have no problem getting violent. All right?" Alvin tells us. "All right, Gamble, let's get you wired." Antonio says as I open the cage. Move in, move in!" Antonio orders and we all move. "I'm just saying, Jay, you got a target on your head and you don't seem all that phased." I hear Adam from the lounge. "Overseas, my unit and I, we always had a bounty on us." Jay tells them. "Most gangs only pay 10 G for a cop. If you're really worth 100, I should take you out myself. Pay off my mortgage." Antonio says as the exit. "Try it." Jay taunts and I visibly stiffen. "It's alright." Erin tells me an I nod. "This is Billy Fagan. Small time hood had ties to a local outfit. I've run into him a couple of times. This is Billy Fagan seven hours ago. Organized crime found a dollar bill pinned to his chest. They looked into the serbians, the cartels, coming up empty." Voight tells us as he puts the pictures up. "We taking this from organized crime because he was your poker buddy?" Erin asks and we all go silent. "Start reaching out to your C. I.'s." Voight tells us. Antonio got a call, after hanging up he walked into Voight office then they both left after that. "Voight sent all of  us a text with name and an address and to meet him there. "Brent Norelli. assault, armed robbery. Even did six months at the Cook County psych ward. Norelli inherited this lumber yard from his old man, but it's just a front. He just broke off from the outfit old-timers, but he's already making plays for some of their rackets. Let's go." He told us once the team was all there waiting in out cars. "A, get Dagger." Voight tells me and I pull her out. Then we made our way in. "Chicago Police! Freeze! Get on your knees. Get down! Chicago Police! On your knees, hands up!  " We all yell. The guy I had on the ground tried to get up and run. "Move again and I'll have this dog turn you into a chew toy." I tell him and Dagger barks at him. "10 years worth of oxy." Antonio tells us as he kicks a box. "Store room." Voight tells us and we surrounded the door. "Chicago Police?" Antonio knocks and a bullet went through the door. Antonio fired a few shots and we entered the room. After we got our guy we headed back to the station. "One blast of double ought buckshot killed both Fagan and Marcello. No shells were found at either murder. Crime scene estimates the kill's height based on blood splatter to be 5'10", which narrows it down." Jay tells us after hanging up the phone. "There was no forced entry to any of the doors or windows in Marcello's building. There's a fire escape in the back, but it doesn't lead to the roof. You'd have to climb up from there, which is not an easy feat. But it's the only way that somebody could've come and gone unnoticed." Erin tells us. "How long have you been doing this? All right, and how many shotgun murders have we seen before these?" Alvin asks. "Two." Voight tells him. "All right, so... It's gotta be a pro." Alvin says. "Or a redneck." Atwater says. "Pro redneck. I'm calling it." Jay says. "All right, all right. I did financial forensics on our two gun victim." Adam says after returning from meeting one of his C.I.'s. "He farmed it out, I guarantee it." Atwater says and Adam gave him a look. "Ahem. Fagan and Marcello were partners in a shell company. Maxwell Investments. They loan money out at astronomical..." Adam tells us. "Loan sharks." Alvin pips in. "I was gonna get to that. Thank you, Alvin." Adam tells him. "Their latest client just signed over his dry cleaning business a week ago. One Dale Hansen. Owned Fine Choice cleaners. Two locations, one on North Broadway, a second on West Belmont. Is that fast enough for you, Al?" "All right, you and A go pay this dry cleaner a visit. I got someone else I want to talk to." I hear Voight tell Antonio and leave dagger with Nadia.
