Detective Ln; An Adam Ruzek Love Story

Born Into Bad News

Yn's POV

"All right, here's the deal. Commander's nephew's caught up with some bad police out in Jackson Park. This is Sergeant Dave Roland and his Narcotics Unit. Over the past year, they've been ripping off drug dealers in their jurisdiction. Until last week when they crossed into our backyard, robbed a stash house for 200k. I got a buddy from high school Used to work out that way as a sheriff's deputy. He said the motto on the side of the Jackson Park patrol car should read, To Steal and Neglect. Sergeant Roland used to be CPD. Some of you may recognize his name. His father was Deputy Chief. He had his son placed in Narcotics straight outta the academy. Everybody knew he was bad news back then... Got jammed up, excessive force charges... Look, before he could get stripped, his old man had him shipped out to Jackson Park to save his career" Voight said.

"Carter. He's been a patrol officer out there the past two years. Nothin' but high marks. About six months ago, he got assigned to Roland's Narcotics unit. Thought it'd be a career changer for him" Commander Perry said. "Listen, it's just a matter of time before Roland and his unit realize Carter isn't one of 'em" Voight said. "So how are we gonna play this" Jay asked. Voight just turned to look at Erin. "My office" he said and disappeared behind the door with Erin following him.

A few hours later, we were going to "arrest" Carter and Erin so that we could bring them back here. "Narcotics have been sitting on a cartel stash house for several weeks. Sergeant McCants has been kind enough to let us use it as our bait house. So we take down a few bad cops and get some dope off the streets. Now we gotta make this look good. So as soon as we move in, we cuff Carter and Lindsay and take 'em to lock up, too. Got it" Voight asked. "Got it" we all replied.

Al, Adam, and I drove to the stash house and parked a block away. We could still see Erin and the Narcotics unit heading inside though. All of the sudden, I heard a gunshot. "Shots fired. Head inside" Voight said over the radio. Al pulled us up to the front of the house and we ran inside. However, everything had already been taken care of by the rest of the team when we got there.

A few hours later, there had been an accident. Commander Perry and Carter were sitting in their car when two men approached them and started shooting. Unfortunately, Perry didn't make it. "I just got off the phone with Commander Perry's wife, Jeanette. Man retires after 30 years, and a few months later, he's gunned down in the street. Anyway... I'll get you all details on the services when I get 'em" Platt said. "Thanks, Trudy" Voight replied.

So we continued the case, and ended up catching the crooks who killed Perry. I was about to open my locker to get my stuff when Adam walked in. "Hey" he said as I opened my locker. I then spotted a small black box on the top shelf. I pulled it out and opened it to reveal a ring. Adam then took the box from my hands. "Listen Yn, I know I've been a little weird lately. But it's only because I've been trying to figure out a way to ask you of you would spend the rest of your life with me. So" he said and got down on one knee. "I was wondering if you would make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?"

I stood there for a few seconds trying to wrap my mind around what was happening. And then I had my answer. "Yes" I say. He laughed and slipped the ring on my finger before standing up and pulling me in for a kiss.
