It's been a couple of weeks.
Hank and Halstead have been trying to catch Boris themselves, but haven't had any luck seeing he is always one step ahead of them.
Mouse had to leave and return to the Army. He was only able to get a week pass leaving Hank and Halstead to try and find out where all of Boris' hangouts are. But before Mouse left he was able to get license plate numbers to all the vehicles Boris uses.~~~~~~
With Halstead's truck in the shop, he's been riding with Hank and Alvin.
As they're driving back from a scene, they spot a tricked-out red Hummer with fancy rims, the works.
Alvin runs the license plate number to discover it's one that belongs to Boris.
Following the Hummer, it drives under a train overpass.
Hank decides this is the best time to pull the Hummer over.
He turns on his lights and the Hummer pulls over.
With guns drawn, Hank, Alvin, and Halstead walk up, "PUT YOUR HANDS OUT THE WINDOWS!" Hank yells at the occupants.
Three sets of hands are put out the windows, two in the front one in the back.
Hank takes care of the driver, while Alvin takes care of the passenger and Halstead takes care of the person in the back seat.
When all three are out of the Hummer, it's discovered that Boris is the one in the back seat of the Hummer.
Halstead is furious, "YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU FOR RAPING MY WIFE!"
Boris looks at him and gives him a shitty grin.
Halstead puts his gun to Boris' head and is about ready to pull the trigger until Alvin gets between the two pushing Halstead back."You need to let me and Hank handle this!" Alvin tells him.
"Not a chance!" Halstead tells Alvin.
"Hank is not going to let you get your hands dirty!" Alvin says.
Halstead stares at Alvin.
"Come on! Let's load these three up!" Hank yells.
Alvin takes his hand off Halstead's chest. They walk over and grab on two of the guys and walk them to the back of the Hummer.
Opening the door on the back, Hank sees that there are hoods, strips of fabric, and zip ties laying on the floor. Picking up three pieces of fabric, Hank pushes one into each guys mouth. He then picks up three hoods and places them over the guy's heads.
Each of the men is then pushed into the back.
Hank closes the door then looks at Halstead, "Here are my keys. Head back to the District!" Hank tells him.
Halstead nods and takes the keys.
He walks back to Hank's car, gets in, and speeds off.
Alvin and Hank get in the Hummer and start driving away.
Hank pulls out his phone and makes a call.
"We have Boris!" he says, "We'll take him to the usual place!"
He hangs up and puts the phone back into his pocket.~~~~~~~
Driving down the dirt road to the Silos, Hank and Alvin see a black truck parked.
As Hank pulls up beside it, he and Alvin see Shaylynn sitting in the driver seat.
Parking, Hank, and Alvin get out as does Shaylynn.
"Where are they?" Shaylynn asks not seeing anyone else in the Hummer.
"In the back!" Hank tells her.
They walk to the back of the Hummer, Hank opens the back door.
Shaylynn sees Boris laying there with two of his cronies laying beside him.
"I only want Boris!" Shaylynn says.
Hank grabs the handcuffs that are around Boris' wrists and pulls him out of the Hummer.
Shaylynn takes off Boris' hood, his eyes get big when he sees her.
"You're going to be my bitch now!" Shaylynn tells him with a pissed off look on her face.
"What are you going to do with him?" Hank asks her.
"He'll be visiting my friends in Marengo!" she tells him.
"What friends do you have in Marengo?" Alvin asks when he sees Hank shaking his head.
"Al, you don't want to know!" Hank tells him.
Shaylynn puts the hood back over Boris' head.
Hank then walks him over to the truck puts the tailgate down and puts him in the bed of the truck closing the tailgate.
Hank walks back over to Shaylynn and Alvin, "I can't believe the owner allows you to do this!" he says to her.
"We served together that's why he allows me to do this! I just call him, he takes his family somewhere so they're not home when I arrive. I make sure the job is done, call him and he brings his family back an hour later after I leave" Shaylynn tells him, "Jay doesn't know that you called me, does he?"
"No! I called you while we were driving here!" he tells her.
"Good! I don't want him to know I'm in on this!" she tells Hank and Alvin.
She walks over to the truck and opens the driver's door and gets in, "You can do whatever you want with those two! I bet if you look inside those fancy rims you'll find A LOT of heroin!" Shaylynn tells Hank and Alvin before she closes the door.
She starts the truck up and drives off.
Alvin looks at Hank, "What?" Hank asks.
"She's a female you!" Alvin tells Hank.~~~~~~
Three hours later, Shaylynn's arriving back in Chicago.
She heads home to change clothes.
Coming downstairs she heads straight for the basement.
Walking over to a corner, she opens the door to the small incinerator she had installed for times like this.
She throws her clothes and shoes in and starts it up. Within minutes they're burned to ash.
Walking back upstairs, she comes face to face with Halstead, "Why were you down there for?" he asks her.
Shaylynn stares at him, "Why are you home?"
Halstead glares at her, "I came home for lunch! I've had one hell of a day and needed to get away! Now, why were you down there?" he asks her again.
Shaylynn gives him a look, "I don't like being treated like a child! But if you MUST know I was putting a gun in my vault that Butch and Rob brought back for me from a gun show they went to!" she tells him lying.
Halstead looks out the kitchen window and sees smoke, "What are you burning in your incinerator?" he asks her.
Shaylynn looks at him pissed off, "Are you asking me as my HUSBAND or a DETECTIVE?!"
"Shaylynn, don't be like that!" Halstead tells her.
"Like what? There's nothing like being interrogated in my own house by my Detective husband! You need to remember once you walk through that door, you're a husband and a father! You're no longer a Detective!" she tells him, "I'm leaving!" she says him walking past him to the front door.
"SHAYLYNN!" Halstead yells at her.
She opens the door, walks out and slams it shut.
He stands there and lets out a sigh. Turning around he walks to the basement door and walks down the stairs.
Once he's down there he walks over to the incinerator, touches the handle to open it when he burns himself.
He looks around and sees a rag on a shelf. Grabbing it he uses it to open the incinerator door. After it's open he looks inside to see nothing but ash.
What would she be burning? She's keeping too many secrets from me!.... Halstead thinks to himself.
