Season 7 Episode 12 'The Devil You Know'

"Pregnant and Undercover, sounds like a reality show." Jay said to Adam as they watched Kim get her gear on in the van. They were in some parking lot.

"Ha! Your one to talk, you realize Emma's five months pregnant now right?"

"Yeah, and on desk duty, she was more than happy to get to sit down and have people fetch things for her." 

"Well I'm not going to lie to you man, this whole thing makes me nervous but she loves the job. Wants as much time out there as she can before she has to go on light duty, so here we are."

"It's badass no doubt, but I would be losing my mind." Jay said. "Oh and a head's up, when she reaches about three months, don't tell her you can see the bump because she'll take that as I look chubby. So let her initiate Everything." Adam laughed.

"Alright, thanks man. Just imagine the stories we're going to tell this kid." Adam said smiling, Jay smiled at Adam's giddiness.

"Yeah, yeah I can." They headed over to the van and Emma was on speakerphone thanks to Kim.

"Alright Rojas fill us in." 

"Our target is a DTO we've been jamming on, finally got a chance to buy up. I'm fronting for an in between buyer, big guy, as we speak. Todays step one, test run, quarter brick of H, I take it to my boss who likes the product, then next week we do a major sale next week.   At least that's what my guy thinks. Instead, we take down my guy today. Flip him."

"Great, the team will have eyes on you inside and out." Emma said. "I'll be watching from the cam's Kim and Kevin will be right there with you, Adam and Jay will take your guy down as soon as he hits the street." 

"Dibs." Adam said.

"All you dog." Kevin said.

"All right, show time." Rojas said.

"So what's the take down signal?" Kim asked.

"Raspberry." Rojas said.

"Cute." Kim said, she tossed the phone to Jay.

"Bye." He said hanging up, Emma sighed.

"I don't like when people hang up on me." Rocky came over and sat down next to her.

"I like this better, all the action, but none of the concern for your life." Rocky said, Emma laughed as they watched everything on her computer.

"Here we go." Emma said into her radio, but as she watched them do their thing, she stared at the man who was buying from Rojas, it took her a second.

"Oh my god, do not engage I repeat do not engage." Emma said into her radio.

"What! What do you want me to do he's coming right for me."

"Don't engage, stand down." Emma said, the unit watched him walk away.

''''''''''''

"Yo! What the hell was that?" Rojas asked Emma as the unit met back up in the van. "It took me weeks to get in there, we had a plan." Rojas said.

"Yeah, well we didn't plan for one thing, your dope dealer is a cop." She heard footsteps on the phone.

"What the hell happened!" A gravelly voice asked, Rocky gulped.

"My dealer." Rojas said holding up a picture of the cop that Emma sent her.

"One of us."

"Kelly Taylor.PO. Assigned to area south mission team, TAC." Emma said.

"11 year veterun. Nothing but standard beefs." Jay said.

"Are we sure it's him?" Voight asked.

"Yeah, we went to the academy together, he might have asked me on a date, I might have said no." Emma said.

"Well maybe, he was just doing what we're doing, got our wires crossed. He could have been linked to DA, customs-"

"Rocky and I checked, there's no report, nothing."

"There's nothing that even remotely suggests he was here in official capacity." 

"Your saying he's dirty."

"We're saying what we know to be true, we have no reason to believe he was here working today, he was here selling heroin." 

''''''''''''''''

The unit gathered up in a room of the precinct Emma had never seen. It was blue with big windows and a large conference table. Emma was sitting next to Jay and Rocky, Jay had his arm behind her chair protective, she noticed he'd been doing that a lot recently, not that she minded. 

"Okay, tell me something I don't know." 

"Well we scrubbed Tyler's financials, dude lives well. He lives in Portage Park." 

"With the rest of the cops?"

"Sure, than a few years ago he bought this. In cash, doorfont county, lake view." Emma gasped.

"I have a house up there near that one! I've lived next door to a dealer this whole time and never knew." Emma asked, Adam chuckled.

"He also rents a storage unit, all cash."

"Which is the corporate storage unit of a cash only LLC, does absolutely nothing."

"And it's run by a shell corporation which someone was founded by his mother, three years after he died." Kevin said.

"That's suspicions." Rocky said nodding his head.

"All right." Voight said glaring at him. "The way we left things at the bus depot-"

"That was a bus depot, Emma and I thought it was an airport. This makes so much more sense know." Rocky said.

"Anyway." Voight said clearing his throat. "Tyler thought we had a successful exchange, got a good thing going?" 

"I texted him to try to keep the vibe alive, said my boss loved the product and that we we're ready to do this. Dude left me on read, just ghosted me." Rojas said.

"You? Really!" Rocky exclaimed shocked, he shook his head. "If she gets left on read there no hope for me."

"Dude's spooked, he's a pro." Jay said.

"Cause he's a cop." Emma reminded everyone.

"Yeah a veteran cop. So he's going to think like us, move like us, we have to exercise extreme caution. " Voight said. "But I want a sneak and peek for that storage unit, invisible. No fingerprints, real or digital." He said looking at Rocky. "Jay and Adam, your up." Voight said getting up.

"He scares the crap out of me." Rocky said to Emma.

"Well stop making comments in the meetings."

"You do it."

"i'm having a baby, when you get pregnant you can say whatever shit you like."

"Sounds like a challenge." 

''''''''''''

Jay and Adam almost got caught doing the sneak and peek, but Jay managed to grab a few pictures of the heroin they found in his unit. Emma was standing in Voight's office the next morning.

"Hate to say it, hate to do it. But roll him up." Emma nodded and went to walk out but Jay stopped her.

"Yeah sarge, we can't just roll him up yet, I think there's another cop involved." Emma sighed.

"Shut the door." Emma shut the down and sat down on the couch, she put her hand on her belly causing the baby to kick.

"So you remember a year ago we did a drug case, we seized about six and half bricks of H over in lawndale?"

"Yeah, the guy with the fake break truck, Rocky kept making sourdough jokes." 

"Right, so after he pleaded I put in a destroy order for the dope down at the south side drug vault. I did the paperwork with forensics-"

"Yes, big dope in the big burner, dope's gone." Voight said.

"Except it wasn't, I found some of it last night in Tyler's storage unit. So I went down to the review officer, and I pulled up stuff from the old case. It's the same dope, this is like a baseball thing, the guy was using it as his signature, putting it on his packages like a company logo. Look at this." Jay said putting down pictures and pointing to one with a brick of H and three numbers on it.

"That's your writing." Emma said.

"Who signed the order said the dope was destroyed?" Voight said.

"Sargent Jake Gibbs. He's worked in the drug vault for like a thousand years. But guess who took a turn in the vault when he was a rookie?"

"Kelly Taylor."

"If Taylor's dirty and he's got someone inside that drug vault-"

"Yeah it's like a buffet of free dope."

"If this is what it seems, it's a whole new thing. I gotta loop in Crawford." Emma sighed and rolled her eyes.

"That douche, really?"

"Yeah Emma, I don't have another choice. We also can't move in on anybody till we know how deep this thing goes. So just widen the net, Gibbs, Taylor, whoever else comes our way."

"Trackers?"

"Do it, both of their personal vehicles." Voight said, Jay touched Emma's arm before they walked out.

"We gotta take a personal for three hours."

"Why?" Voight and Emma asked.

"Because we've got the sonogram." Jay said, Emma nodded.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Is that okay?"

"Go, but be back as soon as you can." Voight said. 

'''''''''''''

As Emma and Jay walked into med Jay put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head.

"You know how hot I find it when you got into detective mode, because it's hot. Just an FYI." Jay laughed. 

"Well thank you, anything you do is hot to me, so."

"Your just trying to get me into bed, and it's working. But that's just cause of your face, and body, and voice, okay you." Emma pressed the elevator button and Jay smiled at her. "I'm so excited, I hope it's a girl. I mean I love Nick but just one of him is exhausting." Emma said, Jay nodded.

"I do to, I can't wait to be a dad." Emma smiled at him as they got onto the elevator.

"What are you going to do if boy's start coming around?"

"Kill em, no way in hell she's getting her heart broken. And if it's a he and he knocks someone up, that's on both of us." 

"Amen." 

''''''''''''''''

Emma and Jay where in the exam room as the Natalie and April pulled up the ultrasound. Emma held Jay's hand as they listened to the baby's heartbeat.

"Okay, here we go. You ready?" Natalie asked.

"No, but we're on the clock." Emma said, Natalie smiled at her and ran the wand over her belly. Natalie smiled wide, so did April.

"Well in about three months, you'll be having a bouncing little girl." Emma wiped away some tears of joy and Jay kissed her head and helped her sit up.

"Congratulations." April and Natalie excalmied giving them both big hugs.

"Thank you, now I hate to cut this short, but you gotta go do a stake out." Emma said to Jay.

'''''''''''''''''

After doing the stakeout the team learned that Darius Walker was involved, and Emma's day went from the best to the worst. The team gathered in the garage with Trudy.

"Okay, let's walk through the steps one last time." Voight told everyone. 

"Okay, we believe the key to this whole thing is the South Side Drug Vault. That's where the drugs go to be stored until they are needed as evidence." Emma explained.

"Right, once a month they do a burn, all the drugs they don't need anymore are brought to a blast furnace." Jay said.

"That's the real loophole, the big burner is how they cover their tracks with the fake paperwork." Kevin said.

"Destroy orders come into the vault,  orders from cops to incinerate narcotics. Gibbs signs off in those so there are no checks and balances."

"There is no system in place to make sure that the stuff that was supposed to go into the burner was burned." Kevin said.

"And why would there be?" Trudy asked.

"Okay, how do we prove it?" Voight asked.

"It all starts with the manifest." 

"There's a running list of narcotics that are stored in the drug vault." Vanessa started to list of drugs. 

"And we know how much H is in there right now."

"Like two keys."

"So we're going to ask Darius for a lot more than that, on purpose. The bigger the score the bigger the pay. That's how we flush them out."

"Figure out who else is involved. The play is we escalate the amount of the buy. That presses Gibb's and Taylor to Kick the deal upstairs to whoever their working for, a third cop." Voight said. 

"Right, that's where Sargent Platt comes in. She's going to bring them the product based on her relationship with Gibb's." Jay said.

"I've known Jake for almost 30 years, or at least thought I did."

"Alright, I've got 10 bricks of Herion, 2 brick of coke."

"We got tracers on the Heroin?"

"They have their own chemical footprint,  so when they give it to Darius no matter if they changed the packaging or not we'll be able to test it." Emma said. 

"Sarge, we need you to front as if the dope isn't tied to any active cases." Ruzek said. 

"Yeah, no courts and no evidence, just straight to the furnace. Well, their pockets really." Rocky chimed in from behind Emma.  

"They'll tell us it's been incinerated, but they would have sold it to Darius Walker."

"And that's the trap, everyone break but I need to speak to Emma." Voight said, EMma smiled at everyone as they walked away. "You going to be okay with this ?" Voight asked.

"With what?"

"This play's tough enough without triggering any beef. Can you work with Darius Walker?" Voight asked.

"Last time I checked this wasn't a democracy." Emma said, Voight nodded. "It's a girl." Emma said.

"What?" Voight asked.

"The baby, your granddaughter, it's a girl." VOight smiled and hugged Emma tight. 

"We'll celebrate when this is all said and done you can be sure of that. Be careful."

"I'm just putting dope in a van I'll be fine." 

''''''''''''''''

"I'm not hearing anything new." Voight said into his phone and Emma came in, he hung up. "Darius make the buy?"

"He asked Tyler for six keys 10, 50, grams per."

"You think they bought it?"

"We'll have to learn the hard way."

"I got it." Trudy said coming in. "They just did a big burn, confirmation signed by Gibb's. The narcotics I signed into the vault have been incinerated." Voights phone rang, he held it up as Darius Walker flashed on the screen.

"Right on time." Emma sighed, Hank answered the phone. 

"Talk to me, yup. No, we'll bring it to you at the motel, hang tight." Hank hung up. "Get Rocky, it's showtime." Emma nodded and headed out into the bullpen.

''''''''''''''''''''

"I need to test your wire, talk to me for a sec." Rocky told Darius as he and Emma stood in a motel room with Darius. Rocky was hooking him up as Emma handed him things.   "I heard you have plans for going straight, you bought a mall?" Rocky asked.

"Strip mall." Darius responded chuckling. "Big difference. It's an urban renewal thing. All about access." 

"Yeah, yeah your a real hero Darius." Emma said crossing her arms, Rocky gulped and quickly glanced at Emma, he pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. 

"Here." Rocky said handing the car key back to Emma. 

"Do you remember a guy named Cameron Ballow?" Emma asked, Rocky dropped the key and quickly picked it up.

"Emma-"

"Yeah." Darius said, Emma nodded.

"He was my C.I. like your Voight's C.I, he was mine." Rocky wiped some sweat off of his forehead and gulped again. "Sort of like he and I came up together, same side of the street if you know what I mean?" Emma said handing the car key back, Rocky was holding his breath, he looked like he was going to faint. "He saw your face, so you had him killed." Rocky dropped to his knees but quickly recovered getting up wobbly and laughing awkwardly. (Me in any awkward situation.)  "He died right in front of me. So you tell yourself whatever you need to to go to sleep at night about the life your living, but don't forget the truth. The truth that your the kind of man who has people killed just because they saw your face." Rocky fell to the floor again and got up again patting himself off.

"Is he okay?" Darius asked, Emma sighed as Hank walked in.

"We good with the overhear?"

"Yep, all good. Not at all bad, bad is the opposite of good witch is what we are. Bad! Not good! I mean good not bad! I-I-I-I don't know what I'm saying!"

"We're fine." Emma said pulling Rocky out, he waved bye to Darius.

"I know where supposed to hate him, but he's very cool, scary, but cool." Emma dragged Rocky back to the van where Jay was waiting and got in.

''''''''''''''''

After a long time, they found out that Mike Packard, another cop, was also involved and the DA wouldn't give any warrants unless Hank named Darius Walker as a CI, So he did.

''''''''''''''''''''

"Alright, warrants are in from the states attorney." Hank said coming out of his office into the bullpen where everyone was gathered.  "Time to get this done."

"We've got ping orders to." Emma said from her desk.

"Get up on their cellphones figure out where they are." 

"Yeah I'm already working on it. 17 minutes ago Packer, Gibbs, and Tyler where conversion on the south side."

"It's significant if their all together." Jay said. "Maybe an exchange, something real." Kim quickly triangulate the location.

"Okay, Emma and Kim stay here, any movement at all you call me." Voight told them.

"Be careful! Warrants like this don't stay secret for very long!"  Emma called out as the team left, Kim sighed as her phone rang.

"Hey sweetie." She got a stone cold look on her face. "What! Oh my god, well do you know what happened. Okay, alright, your dad and I will be home later tonight and we'll talk to him, just don't let him leave the house." She sighed and hung up. "That was Lyla, she said Jack came home shirt covered in blood, all bruised and bloody, I don't know what's going on with him." Kim said, Emma shook her head.

"He's a 13 year old boy, all he's thinking about is girls and video games. I'm sure it's just some kind of rebellious phase." 

"Yeah, maybe." Kim said.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''

After the unit got to the scene they came across bodies that had been shot up, Taylor, Gibbs, and Packer included. Voight was going to say it was a drug bust gone wrong and deem them heros.

"So that's it!" Emma shouted at Voight in his office. "Crawford declares them heros and we all just wash our hands of it! What about Darius!?"

"Darius, their cutting him loose."

"What!" 

"He's a free man!" 

"He screwed us! He screwed you!" 

"You got that right!"

"After all of this, the only winner here is Darius Walker?"

"Well there's an old saying. Some cases are better left unsolved." 

"Not this one."

"Yeah Emma, this one." Emma walked out with anger in her blood, she had to do something.

''''''''''''''''

"Hey." Emma said to Kevin as she walked by his desk later, he smiled at her and sat down.

"Hey." She stopped and turned around.

"You get an ID at the guy from the forging plant?" Emma asked.

"Yeah." Kevin said opening a file. "He's a South side hustler, one of Daris Walker's guys."

"The other two, the DOA's, you got addresses on them right?"

"I believe so, they all lived around ogden park. Why, what's up?"

"Nothing, thanks." Emma said walking down the stairs, Kevin pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Rocky, grab Jay, I think Emma's about to do something dangerous."

''''''''''''''

Emma walked down the dark alleyway towards a group of south side hustlers who eyed her caustically.

"I just wanna talk." She told them.

"We don't talk to cops."

"I wanna talk about you people that got killed."

"Ya'll are the ones that killed em."

"I didn't, we didn't. I wanna know why they were there. Who hired them?"

"Why the hell you think I'm going to help you figure out that?"

"Because I think the guy that got them killed was working with us." 

'''''''''''''''''''''''

As Emma rounded the corner back to her car, Jay was standing there waiting for her with an angry look on his face.

"You following me?" She asked, he scoffed.

"What the hell are you doing Emma?"

"Doesn't concern you."

"Yes it does, your carrying my child." She scoffed and crossed her arms.

"Your  child?"

"Yeah Emma, my child. Our child. Your carrying our baby, our baby girl. So good or badm right or wrong, you know it damn well does." 

"I'm investigating the murder of three police officers."

"Come on! Emma we were told to stand down! You were given a direct order from the Superintendent of Police! This could destroy your whole career or worse, so yeah, this concerns me." Jay said.

"I'm going to figure out what the hell happened, than I'm going to take that case to Crawford and he can tell me to my face to stand down!" Jay threw his hands in the air.

"It's time like this I don't know how to get through to you! 20 different times you've figured out a way to tell me don't get to close, this is me telling you don't get to close."

"I'm okay Jay."

"Really, you're okay? Then how come when I checked in with Doctor Charles he told me you've missed your last three appointments?" Emma shook her head.

"I'm fine." Emma said going to get in the car, she grabbed her belly when she felt a sharp pain. "Jay, sometimes wrong." She hissed, he helped her to the passengers side and jumped in the drivers seat, Jay sped to med.

''''''''''''''''

"Well?" Voight asked Jay who was standing outside the room at med the next morning. 

"The baby was stressed, Emma's going to be on bed rest for the next two weeks." Jay said, Hank had a sad look on his face. "Why?"

"Darius Walker was murdered. Tied to a pool table with an eight ball shoved in his mouth and a dead rat hanging above his head." Hank said looking at Emma, Jay narrowed his eyes.

"What!"

"Yeah, I need to talk to her." Hank told Jay, Jay nodded and Hank headed into the room closing the curtain behind him. He pulled up a chair next to Emma. He filled her in on everything and she just nodded.

"You had to know, in that neighborhood there's a good chance something like this would happen." 

"I was just working a case. Investigating the murder of three police officers. Someone misinterpreted one of my statements. I can't help that, and if it worked out that something happens to a bad person because of that misinterpretation well..." Emma shrugged. "I did learn from the two best cops I know."

"Emma." Hank sighed taking her hand. "Wanna know what keeps me awake at night. Nothing, I do what I do because I can. Because something inside me... well I turned it off a long time ago. Emma, you do something like this and don't turn that part off, It will eat you alive."

"Have a little faith Hank, I'll get there."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Hank said.

"Me to." Emma said.

''''''''''''''''''''

Later that night Emma was laying in Jays and hers bed when he came in with his arms crossed. 

"I just put down Nick, he's asleep." 

"Good." Emma said, she turned of the TV sensing some tension.  "Sit down, tell me what's wrong." Jay sat at the edge of the bed.

"Emma what are you doing!" Jay yelled at her. Emma felt attacked, she felt the need to get defensive. 

"You don't know everything about me! You don't, so stop acting like you do!"

"What don't I know? Huh! What?"

"I can't do this anymore Jay, not right now!" Jay sighed and leaned back in the bed, he sat up and looked at Emma.

"Than let's start now because I wanna know everything about you." Emma shook her head.

"Fine, I have OCD, general anxiety disorder, ADD, ADHD, stress about everything, I have an eating disorder, I have self imagine and body issues, I have learning disabilities, I struggle with my body and my confidence. I try to please everyone all the time and it's exhausting. I am constantly under fire or stressed about something. I can't escape my mind because it's to damn active, I am so scared of letting you down sometimes I wonder if I'm even good enough for you. I am so tired all the time, and I just want it to stop because I feel like I can't breath." Emma sighed and Jay wrapped her into a tight hug as she cried into his shoulder embarrassed. "I'm sorry." She said, he shook his head and rubbed her back.

"You've got nothing to be sorry about, I just wish I knew all of this so I could have helped you." Jay told her, and that was the truth.

''''''''''''''''

Adam ran up to Jack's room, slammed the door, and ripped the phones and headphones out of Jack's hands and ears. Jack sat up shocked in the bed. 

"What the hell!" Jack yelled, Adam crossed his arms. 

"Jack, you need to stop getting in fights what is this about?" Adam asked, Jack sighed and stood up.

"You don't understand."

"Humor me than. Look at me kid, I'm the only father you've got and I don't care if you like that or not because that's the truth." Adam told him, tears started running down Jack's face as Kim came in.

"I told you not to yell at him!" She scolded Adam.

"Well that was not my plan, so suck it up." Kim crossed her arms. "Sweetie Pie?" Kim and Adam sat down at the edge of Jack's bed as Jack sat back down and hugged his knees to his chest.

"A few weeks ago I was hanging out at Logan's house, and we were playing video games in his basement it was just us and his parents weren't home." Jack gulped.

"Oh my god, did Logan do something to you! I've never liked that boy." Kim said.

"No mom, no." He told Kim shaking his head, he took a deep breath. "I caught him looking at me a few times, so once we stopped playing we were just talking when all of the sudden, he kissed me. I didn't know what was going on so I jumped up and ran out. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. The more I thought about it, I remembered how much I liked it. So everytime I found myself thinking about it, I got angry. Logan told some of the guys on my lacrosse team so, today, one of the guys was making fun of me and I just couldn't handle it. I just lashed out." Jack shook his head as Kim and Adam listened intently. "The worst part about this all is that I liked it, and I don't know how to feel, or what to feel, and I'm so sorry." Adam wrapped Jack in a tight hug as Kim stroked his hair, Adam and Kim glanced at each other.

"Jack, no matter what you do or whatever you decide. Your mother and I will always, truly, love you." Adam ausserd him.

"Yeah, We promise." Kim said, Jack nodded his head.

"I'm sorry" He whispered, Kim and Adam just sat there holding him, not knowing what to say except: 

"It's all going to be alright buddy, we love you so much." And that was all Jack wanted to hear.

'''''''''''''''

Hank was sitting office when trudy came up, it was nighttime and he was the only one there. "Hank there's someone here to see you." Trudy told Hank.

"Send them in." Hank told her, Trudy stepped aside and Hank scoffed but smiled. "David Rossi."

"Hello Hank, we need to talk about Emma." David said stepping in, Trudy closed the door as David said down across from Hank. "I got your message."

"Yeah, I spoke with someone named Garcia, I was hoping you'd get it, she seems very efficient." 

"Believe you me, you've got no idea." David sighed as Hank filled him in on what's been going on. 

"SHE'S PREGNANT AND ENGAGED! SINCE WHEN!" David exclaimed sitting up, Hank sighed.

"I thought you knew."

"No, she hasn't called me in weeks. I've been rather busy, I can't believe her. I gave Jay the ring but, that asshole should have called me."

"Emma or Jay?"

"Take your pick." David shook his head. "Well I'm going to go see her." 

"Do it tomorrow, she's on bedrest for the next two weeks. She's got nothing but time." Hank said smiling, David shook hands with Hank and stood up.

"Well that should be interesting."

"Mmhm, can't wait."
