Kaylin

"I honestly don't understand why I keep coming to therapy..." Kaylin mutters putting her hands on her head. "It's always the same questions that you ask, no offense but -- they're getting repetitive."

"None taken, Kaylin." Dr. Charles responds to her with a slight shrug. "I can see therapy is doing wonders for you, though. You don't seem as agitated and guarded."

Kaylin let's out a little huff. "That's because y'all keep making me talk about it," Kaylin tells him. "If I don't talk about it, then apparently, according to everyone in my unit, I become this raging bitch." Dr. Charles laughs a little bit making her look at him with a slight glare. "Don't patronize me..."

"I promise you I'm not." Dr. Charles defends himself by raising his hands and laughing. Kaylin begins pouting and Dr. Charles laughs again. "I think we can call this one an early day, Kaylin. I need to get ready for my next patient."

Kaylin nods slightly and stands up. A knock at the door and Dr. Charles turns around and Dr. Strife, walks in. Her hair in a low ponytail. "Excuse me, Dr. Charles, I have a patient that needs a consult and a police officer."

"What's going on?" Kaylin questions standing up, grabbing her items from Dr. Charles.

"She's a teenager, raped. I sedated her for the treatment and blood work. But I'm wondering if she can get an eval to make sure she's in her right mind." Dr. Strife informed Kaylin who nods putting her badge on her pants and her gun at her side. "I tried talking to her, but she became erratic and manic."

"Alright, let's go." Kaylin began following Dr. Strife and Dr. Charles to the patient.

"Amana, this is Dr. Charles and Detective Benson. I asked him to consult, and she needs to take your statement to take down what happened."

"I told you I didn't want the police involved!" Amana, the patient, screamed at her. "There's nothing they can do to stop what had happened!!" Kaylin touches Rayleigh's arm gently and looks at Amana.

"Listen," Kaylin began but Amana shakes her head. "I know this is hard, but I assure you this is a normal reaction from anyone who has trauma from what happened," Amana looks up at Kaylin who has a gentle smile on her face. "You see, Dr. Strife there," Kaylin points to Rayleigh who looks at Kaylin as does Dr. Charles and Amana. "You see, she was gone for weeks, and it was hard for us to find her. When she escaped her rapists, she ran to our Chicago Fire Department and they brought her here, she had extensive injuries but that didn't stop her. To this day, she is trying to remember who did it to her,"

Amana looked to Rayleigh who looked depressed and almost disassociated. Amana frowns and looks down. "It's been a while, but we haven't given up on her case and we're still working on it. Just like with you -- we won't give up on you." Kaylin assures her. "So, again, Amana, let me ask you some questions."

Amana looks up at Rayleigh again and she looks back at her. Rayleigh then feels Amana touch her hand making her look at her patient shocked. Dr. Charles smiles and quietly excuses himself and Kaylin nods his way. Swallowing thickly, Rayleigh squeezes her hand gently. "I'm so sorry that happened to you, Dr. Strife." Amana spoke to her making Rayleigh sadly smile at her. "I know you were trying to help. But -- after all this happened. I freaked out."

"It's okay, like Kaylin said -- it's a normal response. I was honestly the same way." Rayleigh admitted to her. "But -- thanks to Kaylin, I have been able to live my life. Sure, it's been hard, but I'm living for today."

Amana sadly smiles, she then looks towards Kaylin. "I'm ready to tell you what I know and what happened."

"Alright, whenever you're ready, Amana."

"Hey! Kaylin's back!" Adam cheered making her chuckle. "What's going on, beautiful?"

Kaylin rolls her eyes and Hank walks out of his office and looks at her. Taking a deep breath, she hands him her notepad and he grabs it. "What's this?"

"I caught a case at the hospital," Kaylin told him quietly. "After my appointment. A sixteen-year-old was raped. She remembers her rapists face and his voice, but as soon as he was done with her. He ran, and she doesn't know where he went."

"He just disappeared?"

"As far as she knows," Kaylin shrugs. "Other than that, we're just waiting on the DNA from the rape kit and any tests."

"Alright, let's do this."

Kaylin nods and begins walking to the board putting up two pictures and the Intelligence Unit circles around her. Taking a deep breath, Kaylin turns around.

"This is Amana Hernandez, she's sixteen and found by the Chicago Fire Department when they were handling a mass casualty accident. The paramedics saw her legs and had dry blood, bruises on her arms and she was reluctant to tell Med that she had been raped." Kaylin began explaining. 

Kaylin points to the other picture. "This person is the one who caused it. We don't know his name or what he is, all she saw was his face, but she was able to perfectly able to describe him. From what I could tell he belongs to a gang, the tattoo on his neck shows but I can't tell what gang he belongs too."

"Why are we handling this?" Antonio asks Kaylin who looks at him. "We normally don't take rape cases."

"When she went with him, there was a bunch of blocks of cocaine. She said a good amount, but -- without seeing it, I couldn't tell you how much. The gang looks well-known, but like I said, I can't tell who they are."

"They look like a botched BX6." Adam said looking at the tattoo.

"Botched?" asks Erin looking at him. "What do you mean?"

Adam walks to the board and points to the tattoo. "See the 6, it looks like a botched gang. I'm wondering if that's who it is."

"What about a name? Did she say?"

"She said she did hear one name." Kaylin turns to Hank who stares at her. "Ace Wheeler."

"Alright, we got a start, let's begin!"
