YOU WITH ME - A B99 STORY (OC x OC)

48 Hours-1

Sam was in Captain Holt's office with him revising some crime stat reports when Jake poked his head through the door asking for Holt. 

"Hey, Cap'n, got a second?" he said. "It's 'Captain'." Holt corrected him.

"What did I say?" Jake asked confused. "'Cap'n,' like Cap'n Crunch." Sam answered to which Holt nodded.

"All right, but to be fair, Cap'n Crunch was a war hero and the primary male role model in my house, growing up, so... Anyways, "Cap-tain", you know that jewelry store robbery down by Grand Army Plaza?" he informed. 

"Mm-hmm." Holt hummed in knowledge of it.

"I know who did it... Dustin Whitman. I put him in Rikers two years ago. He just got out, and the crime scene matches his M.O. perfectly. The crime techs aren't done yet, but I'm 100% sure it's Whitman." Jake further explained.

"Well, let's see what kind of physical evidence they turn up, and then we can talk arrest." Holt said as a known o-fact statement. "Actually, hilarious story." Jake said in a nervous tone. 

"You did not." Sam said warningly making Jake take them out of the office only to see Dustin Whitman already sitting in the holding cell.

"So that is Dustin Whitman." Jake said. "You already arrested him? With insufficient evidence?" Sam said in an astonishing tone.

"By law, we have 48 hours to find that evidence, or we have to let him go. You just started the clock." Holt said as he left to go to the briefing room.

***TIME TO DEADLINE 47 HRS 56 MINS***

Sam grumbled under her breath as she walked in and sat next to Nick in the briefing room. Her plans with William had to be cancelled because of Jake's ego.

"What's up with this emergency meeting?" Rosa asked. "You'll know." Sam said spitefully making Nick and others to look at her worriedly. Just then Amy walked into the room wearing a pretty dress making most of them compliment her. 

"Big date tonight. How do I look?" she asked them. 

"Well, I think you look.." Jake said as he played the sound of donkey braying. "Sorry, that was supposed to be a catcall. I don't know how this works." he said with fake innocence in his tone making Sam roll her eyes.

"What's up with your mood?" Nick asked her. "You'll get there too. Just wait and watch."

"Detective Peralta has made a collar in the jewelry store heist." Holt said as he walked into the room wearing his blazer.

"Way to go, Jakey." Charles said with joy for his best friend. "Ah, that's okay." Jake quickly rejected the cheer from him.

"No. He didn't get sufficient evidence to make it stick, so we have the next 48 hours to fix his mistake." Holt announced. "There we go." Sam muttered to herself and everyone groaned at Holt's words.

"Damn it, Jake. What evidence did you have when you arrested this guy?" Amy asked him with a bored face.

"Some pretty ironclad stuff." he said as he recalled how he arrested Whitman just cause he called him 'Joke' Peralta. It was funny though. "Case closed?" he asked.

"If we don't find something conclusive, it jeopardizes the case and opens the department up to a lawsuit. So cancel your plans. We're here until this is over." Holt said making most of them groan and throw stuff at Jake. Sam threw a pen at his head which hit him perfectly in aim. 

"I know everyone's mad at Peralta for ruining their weekend." Holt said. "But?" Jake asked expecting some support from the Captain. 

"That was it. I was just demonstrating for Detective Peralta what a fact is." Holt said and dismissed them all.
