"Wanna tell me why we are here?" I asked Jay as we waited outside a neighbourhood. He looked at me like he wanted to say something but didn't want to. His cell phone rang.
"What do you got, Jin?"
"That Lonnie Rodiger credit card you wanted me to track. Just got a hit from a toy store downtown." Jin said.
"Text me the address," Jay said as I started the car. I followed the address, and we found a buying coming from a toy store.
"That your guy?" I asked. He nodded. "Wanna do something?" I asked. "I have a restraining order," he said. I raised my eyebrows at him. My cell phone peeped.
"Go for Spencer," I said.
"Where you at?" Hank asked. I looked at Jay.
"On my way in," I said.
"Head to Chinatown. Get Jay, too," he said. "I will," I said when he sent me the address.
"You good?" I asked him. "Yeah, let's go," he said.
We reached Chinatown as everybody arrived.
"Triad casino," Hank said as we looked around.
"A lot of money rolls through here," Jay said.
"You feeling lucky?" Erin asked as we entered a room to find bodies.
"Luckier than them," Jay said. "Looks like a squad," I said.
"Over here," Dawson said as we noticed a boy dead with a couple of drinks in his hands.
"They killed the damn errand boy, too," he said.

We looked at the CCTV recording. "Surgical. They were startled by the kid." I said.
"Weapon, uniforms." Jay said. "Think military?" I asked him. "For sure," he replied.
"These guys are pros," He added.
"I want a copy of this in the Intelligence office before we get back," Hank said as Erin started the briefing.
"All right, this is an illegal triad gambling den. It's one of two dozen that Vice thinks they operate in the area. The problem is they tend to shut down and pop up somewhere else quickly," she said.
"Who's their competition?" I asked.
"Cermak Crew. They got a lockdown on the illegal lotto in the neighbourhood. They take the nickels and dimes, and the triads take the bigger cash." Dawson explained.
"This Cermak Crew looking for a bigger piece?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, they could be."
"All right, it's a start. Where's Olinsky and Ruzek?" Hank asked.
"Coming in from the cold," Dawson answered.

I was getting my coffee when Atwater entered. "Where's Ruzek?" I asked.
"Getting a lesson," Al said. I looked at Atwater.
"Make Mama Proud," I said.
"Okay. Party people, listen up," Jin entered.
"I went back seven days and downloaded all in-progress and service calls in close proximity to the Chinatown quad. We got three calls on suspicious vehicles. I ran the plates. Legit, legit, but the third came back a ghost. I put that plate into our lookout database and just got a text back with its location..." He's full of energy today.
