*District 21: Bullpen*
"What's going on?" Hank inquired as he and Ana appeared at the top of the stairs.
"I caught a case." Hailey replied, casually, from her desk.
"No, Trudy said you were in an accident." The brunette frowned, concerned.
"I wasn't in the accident. I saw it happen, but something's wrong. I know it." The blonde muttered.
"Hailey told me to pull POD and security footage from a bank downtown. That's-that's all I know." Kevin shrugged from where he was standing next to his desk.
"All right, well, talk to us Hailey." Hank urged, gently, as he and Ana stopped next to her.
"There were two people in that car. An unidentified man and a woman, Lisa. It was her car, but she wasn't driving. Her husband said she was supposed to go straight home. She owns a restaurant, she was doing a cash drop at the bank, and then she was supposed to go home. But something's wrong. I know it." The blonde insisted, typing rapidly and pulling up a few videos. "That's it. That's her car."
"That's the one that went over the bridge?" Jay asked in confirmation from her left.
"Yeah, this is minutes before it did." She nodded.
The footage showed Lisa walking up to the bank.
"Who's that there?" Kim wondered, spotting a figure standing next to the car.
"That's him." Hailey furrowed her brows in confusion.
On the video, Lisa returned to her car only for the man to attack and throw her on the hood.
"Oh, God." Kim hissed as the offender yanked her skirt up.
Ana just swallowed and looked away while Hank placed a hand on her back in comfort. He proceeded to clench his jaw and force himself to continue watching the video.
The man was about to do the deed when another car drove by and he shoved Lisa into the vehicle instead.
"That's the man I saved." Hailey breathed in disgust. "Instead of saving her, I saved him."
*A Few Hours Later*
"Anything?" Ana wondered, spotting the two Detectives walking up the stairs with Trudy right behind them.
"Absolutely nothing. Doe ran from Med. He could be anywhere. Someone could have picked him up, he could've stolen a car, hopped on a bus. He's probably miles away right now and we have no ID from him." Hailey sighed in frustration.
She marched straight up to the whiteboard and stared at it, blankly.
"All right, so we'll ID him and find them ourselves." Hank shrugged, having come out of his Office the second he heard his wife's voice. "Have we tried facial rec?"
"Burg, you get anything off of what we sent you?" Jay inquired.
"Yes and no. I got a clean image off the hospital footage but nothing popped on any system." Kim shook her head.
"Okay, what about the husband? Uh. . ." The older man trailed off, forgetting his name.
"Frank." Ana supplied, rolling her eyes fondly.
Hank just shot her a grateful look in return.
"Couldn't ID him. Said he'd never seen him before." Trudy replied with a shake of her head.
"I did a full preliminary scan through Lisa's social media. No pops on John Doe yet." Kevin spoke up.
"I ran him up against her employees too. There's nothing there either." Adam added.
