Trials, Tribulations and Triangles 2. - Chicago PD/Fire

Insubordination

Thursday February 7th – Night.

"He just got off the subway on Carlton Avenue" Lexi told Jay reading the information from her phone. "It's like two blocks from here, go"

Jay put his foot to the floor, as Lexi switched off the siren and lights, not wanting to alert Jordan to their presence and give him chance to run. "Craig" Lexi answered her phone ignoring Burgess call over the radio asking for their location.

"He's walking down Carlton, toward the bike shop" Craig explained whispering in to his phone.

"Okay, I'm right behind you, I'll be there in a minute"

Jay took the corner too fast and wide, ending up on the other side of the street. Luckily it was a quiet part of town with no traffic around at the late hour. Lexi's eyes rapidly scanned the street looking for any sign of Craig or Jordan.

"There" Lexi yelled pointing to someone running back on to the street having come from the side of a building. "It's Jordan"

"I got him, I got him" Jay acknowledged slamming his foot on to the accelerator.

Lexi keyed her radio alerting CPD and the Intelligence Team. "50-21 in pursuit of a suspect on Carlton Avenue. Suspect on foot, wearing blue jeans, a black jacket, navy-blue baseball cap and white sneakers."

She threw the switch to turn on the siren and lights as they gained on Jordan, he turned whilst running and fired three rounds from his gun, one hitting the bonnet of the car, the other two hitting the windshield cracking it, completely obstructing their vision.

"Shit" Jay said spinning the car to a stop. They both jumped out pulling their weapons from their holsters. "You okay?" he shouted at Lexi.

"Yes, I'm good, let's go" she responded taking off running after Jordan.

"Chicago PD stop" Jay yelled as Jordan disappeared around the corner at the end of the street. They gave chase turning the corner in time to see Jordan drag a man from his car before stealing it and peeling away in cloud of smoke. They were too far away to chase him, too far away to see the number plate.

"Craig!" Lexi remembered quickly as a Ruzek and Burgess pulled up beside them. Lexi turned and ran back in the direction of their car as Jay updated Adam and Kim, instructing them to assist the victim of the car jacking.

Panic and adrenaline made Lexi's feet move, "CRAIG" she screamed down the street as she ran. "CRAIG" she raced around the corner where she had seen Jordan appear from finding Craig lying on the floor, breathing deeply and holding a wound on his left shoulder, trying to stem the heavy flow of blood. "Oh shit" she fell to her knees beside him putting pressure on the wound. Craig screamed at the pressure and the pain it caused. "You're okay, you're okay" Lexi assured him.

Lexi heard Jay turn the corner and immediately call for help. "50-21, we need an ambo at our location, we have a male with a gunshot wound to his front left shoulder. Be advised plain clothes officers on scene"

"I followed him down here and he jumped me" Craig explained taking short breaths.

"It's ok, you did good, you did good"

"Am I going to die?" Craig asked his eyes full of fear.

"No, no Craig look at me" Lexi leant over him a bit more so she could look in his eyes. "You see my partner here, his brother is a Doctor, a surgeon." Lexi explained trying to reassure the wounded boy. "I was bleeding out, worse than this, more than you are right now and he saved my life. The ambulance is on the way, we're going to get you to the hospital and he's going to help you too, I promise!"
