A Game Of Cat and Mouse

Chapter Two

Note
(Picture is Erin Lindsey!)

A few hours had elapsed since the team commenced their efforts to apprehend their primary suspect, Becca Johnson. As of now, they had only managed to acquire her name and vehicle details. Every member of the team was diligently engaged in locating her whereabouts.

Erin found herself in Voight's office, discussing the case with him. Meanwhile, Soifon diligently conducted research to identify potential locations where the suspect would frequent or linger. Unfortunately, she had yet to come across any fruitful information. However, her perseverance paid off when she stumbled upon some relevant details on her computer screen.

Leaning closer for a thorough examination, she discovered vital information about Becca. Eager to act on this lead, Soifon promptly grabbed a pen and paper to record the address of the bar the suspect frequented.

She believed that a personal investigation of the bar might yield valuable insights. Prior to departing, she surveyed her colleagues, all diligently occupied with their computer screens. Her attention fell upon Jay, who appeared to be engrossed in a conversation with Adam about the case. Soifon decided it was imperative to inform Jay of her plan to investigate the lead she had discovered.

"I express my hope that we apprehend this individual." Adam responded as he sat on the edge of Jay's desk, absentmindedly playing with a pen in his hand. Jay was on the verge of replying to Adam's outburst when Soifon approached them. "Greetings, Soifon!" The untidy blond man greeted her warmly. "Hello!" The young woman nodded, shifting her attention to Jay. "I have discovered a potential clue and I intend to investigate it," she stated, impressing both men.

Jay shook his head before speaking. "That's promising. What have you found?" He leaned closer to his desk, eager to hear Soifon's findings. Erin, having left her foster father's office, approached Soifon, Jay, and Adam, hoping to learn whether they had made any progress, judging by the expressions on their faces.

"Have you made any discoveries?" inquired the brunette. Soifon, with a smile, nodded and exclaimed, "Indeed!"

"However, I have been conducting research and I have found out that she frequents a bar called Barb and Bees. That is all the information I have managed to gather so far, but I intended to visit the location and investigate it further."

Soifon acknowledged the older man with a nod and replied, "Very well!" She returned to her desk to prepare to leave. "I am going to check on Mouse and see how he is doing!" Jay announced as he left the bullpen. Erin accompanied Soifon to her desk.

Upon reaching her desk, Soifon asked Erin, "Is there any issue?"She grabbed her jacket and keys, preparing to leave. Erin shook her head, replying, "No." She instructed Soifon, "Message me once you obtain the information and please exercise caution." Pulling Soifon into a hug, Erin added, "Once everything is resolved and we apprehend this individual, we can dine together to catch up." With that, Erin released Soifon from the embrace. Soifon, feeling tense, returned the hug and assured Erin, 'I will exercise caution." As she exited the bullpen, Soifon agreed, "Alright, I am okay with going out for a meal after this."

*Erin's P.O.V*

Erin observed her friend's departure from the bullpen with a sigh, hoping that Soifon would be capable of handling herself despite being new. While she knew she shouldn't worry excessively, she reassured herself that Soifon was capable of taking care of herself. The brunette felt grateful that her friend had agreed to grab a meal together once the case was concluded, as she wanted to catch up and understand why Soifon had returned to Chicago.

"Erin, we must continue searching for other leads on Becca!" Antonio's voice interrupted Erin's thoughts, causing her to turn towards the second-in-command. She nodded in understanding and approached him at his desk.
