Detective Ln; An Adam Ruzek Love Story

Season 6; New Normal

Yn's POV

The days following solving Al's case were half bad, half good. They were half bad because I had a hard time adjusting to a life without Al. On the other hand, they were half good because Adam and I got married. We decided to go to the courthouse to make things official because we didn't need a fancy ceremony to show our love for each other. Today was our first day back at work, and the case we were looking into was about a bunch of ODs.

"What happened to your face, boss" Adam asked Voight as we met with him in the park. "Listen. There is some bad dope out on the street and we are gonna find it. Fast. Now, Antonio is gonna take the lead, so get on the horn with CFD right away. Get a list of all the ODs the past two days, the exact locations the bodies were found. Track down the 911 tapes, tox reports-" Antonio cut Voight off. "I got it, Hank. I'm good" Antonio said.

"Sarge, you want to tell us what's going on? Why aren't you involved" Jay asked. "The COPA thing. They're still investigating the shooting. Listen, I'm on the bench until it's resolved" Voight said. "Way to step up, bro" Adam said to Antonio. "Stay out of this, Adam" Antonio replied. "Hey. Enough. Now listen, everything is gonna be fine, so stop talking, and track down that bad dope. Okay, let's get to work" Voight said.

Adam and I walked into the district holding hands, smiles graced on both of our faces. The fact that I get to spend the rest of my life with him makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. "So, we never talked about if you're changing your last name at work. I mean, I know you changed it legally, but here you're still Detective Ln" Adam said. "Imagine if there were two Ruzeks here. Do you know how confusing that would be? People would be getting us confused all the time. I'd rather keep my own last name at work" I say. "Whatever you want babe" Adam said and kissed my temple as we walked upstairs.

"Same tox report for all five DOAs. Heroin cut with battery acid" Jay said. "Battery acid? Really" Kim asked. "That means it's intentional. It means somebody's trying to put bodies on the street" Antonio said. "Wait, so, is this business or is this some sicko serial killer out here just trying to kill people with dope instead of bullets" Kevin asked. "Well, all five ODs are on the West Side between Sacramento and California. It's confined to one area, which is a good thing" I say.

"What about the crime scenes" Antonio asked. "Detectives found packets at three out of five locations. They all had the same logo; a spider" Kim said. "Yeah, well, maybe we should call Voight, see if he can at least point us in the right direction" Adam said. "No. We can't. Hank's off the books until COPA's done with the investigation" Antonio said. "Right, yeah, I know that, but there's five people dead and the clock's ticking" Adam said. 

"Voight's not involved, you understand? He's been stripped. It's violation to even talk to him about any of this. Alright, talk to Narcotics. See who the shot-callers are and who's supplying product with a spider logo. All these kids copped somewhere. Hopefully that somewhere is connected to the same corner" Antonio said. "I think they are. I ran the phones. All five trace back to the same burner. It'a got to be the dealer. I pinged it, and it looks like he's doing business on the corner of Sacramento and Fillmore" Hailey said. "Okay. Here's what we're gonna do" Antonio said.

The team went out and found Andre who had dope with the spider label on it. He then called Jalen, who we had in custody right now. Jay and I were interviewing him, but he didn't look like he was going to talk. "We've got five dead bodies, Jalen" Jay said. "Make that six. Patrol just found her in an alley off Lexington" I say and show Jalen a picture. "Amy Moore, 19. Last number she dialed, same as the other five your boy, Andre."

"Sorry, I don't know no Andre" Jalen said. "No? He's the skinny black dude who works the corner of Sacramento and Fillmore. You know, the one you sell heroin to? The one who just called because he lost his jab" Jay said. "Y'all must have me confused with someone else. Like, for real. I don't know nothing about no dope" Jalen said. "Really? Nothing? What's this" Jay asked and showed Jalen a bag of heroin. "We found that in a hidden compartment in your passenger door." "It's not mine" Jalen replied.
