Chapter 10 – Identifying Suspects.

"Okay we got something" Jay announced loudly entering the intelligence floor and walking to the white board. "Meet Billy Evans," he began pointing to the surveillance photo Atwater had pinned up earlier. "17, goes to Southside High with Emily. Billy asked Emily to Homecoming last year, but she politely declined his offer."

"Are you sure it was so polite?" Olinsky questioned interrupting.

"Yes!" Lexi spoke up abruptly, wanting to defend Emily.

"Three different guys asked her, and she said no to all of them, her best friend had just broken up with her boyfriend, so they were going together, making a girls night of it." Jay continued ignoring Lexi's outburst. "However, Emily tore her ACL the week before the dance at a soccer game so couldn't go anyway. She's had a couple other encounters with Billy, was his lab partner for a semester, said he was a nice guy, a bit awkward but she liked him. Didn't have a bad word to say about him actually, nothing that screams he wanted to rape and mutilate her anyway."

"Woo" Burgess said eyes wide as she read from her computer screen. "I checked Billy's social media, he has an older brother, Jordan Evans, graduated from the same college of the same year as our second vic"

Lexi raced to Kim's desk looking at her screen, seeing the photo of Jordan Evans. "That's him!" Lexi confirmed "That's green shorts guy"

"Are you sure?" Dawson asked her.

"I'm sure, I've been dreaming about his face, that's him!" Lexi said tapping the screen excitedly, finally they had a lead, a photo of the potential suspect.

"Okay" Voight's commanding voice bellowed around the office. "I want an address, find them both, bring them in!" Voight demanded as the team swung in to action to get locations of the suspects. "Halstead, Lexi, show Severide and the car thief the photo" Hank demanded striding in to his office. "We need a positive I.D."

"You got it" Lexi nodded her agreement.

Thursday February 7th – Afternoon.

"Ah crap" Lexi groaned walking toward Firehouse 51 seeing Kelly stood by the Squad 3 table talking to his mother, Jennifer.

"What's up?" Jay queried slowing his pace as did Lexi.

"Kelly's Mom" she explained debating whether to go back to the car and come back later. Lexi continued to walk toward them knowing they had already seen her. She spoke to the floor as she walked. "Look, whatever happens, just go with it"

"What's going to happen?"

Lexi stopped to give her a second to update Jay before they walked in to the unpredictable situation. "I'll explain everything later" she promised beginning to walk again "If she slaps me or you" she shrugged nonchalantly "just let it go"

"Wait why is she going to slap me?" Jay asked innocent confusion furrowing his brow as he followed.

"Hi" Kelly greeted Lexi as she approached him a few steps ahead of Jay. The smile he wore was a little too big for Lexi's liking and she was sure Jay would pick up on it too.

"Hey" Lexi's smile was forced and awkward as she made eye contact with Kelly and Jennifer to include the two of them in her greeting.

"Detective's" Jennifer acknowledged with a tight-lipped smile, her tone flat and cold. "Come to gloat?"

"Mom" Kelly chided her.

Lexi's nostrils flared and she chewed her lip to stop from biting back at her. "We're here on official police business actually"
