"Steve"

Chapter Fourteen: Help A Girl Out
2x02:Get My Cigarettes

*Trigger Warning*

Becklean was in the breakroom with Ruzek, O, Jay and Antonio. They were all discussing this bounty that Becklean had on her head from Oskar.

"I'm just saying, Bexs, you got a target on your head and you don't seem all that phased."

"Yeah well I have taken on more than you think, especially in Hawaii. Its not uncommon to have a few targets on your head, Means your doing your job right." she explains with a shrug as everyone starts to walk to their desk.

"Most gangs only pay 10 G for a cop. If you're really worth 100, I should take you out myself. Pay off my mortgage." Antonio jokes as Becklean smirks plopping down in her chair.

"Try it." she replies as he quirks a brow.

" Coke dealer one time put a million dollar tag on me and Voight."

" What?" Jay says, taking his seat.

" How'd you handle that?" Ruzek asks.

"Well, you dust yourself. Never go home the same way twice. Run red lights. If a car follows you through one, you chamber a round and you handle business." He explains.

" All right." Jay nods as Ruzek starts eating his fruit loops

" This is Billy fagan."Voight slaps a photo up onto the board. "Small time hood had ties to a local outfit. I've run into him a couple of times. This is Billy Fagan seven hours ago." He puts another photo of Bill dead. " Organized crime found a dollar bill pinned to his chest. They looked into the Serbians, the cartels, coming up empty."

"We taking this from organized crime because he was your poker buddy?" Erin asks as Becklean just sips on her coffee, watching her dad and sister have a stare down.

" Start reaching out to your C. I.'s. You got a sec?" He points to Erin as Becklean just shakes her head already knowing what the talk was gonna be about.

Another Body was found guy by the name Nick Marcello, he was found shot with a dollar bill taped to his chest, Hank grew up with Nick, they had been really close, when Nick decided to retire the two kept in touch, Nick got married had kids, things were different now, he and Antonio came back to the precinct with a name and every vested up heading over to the lumber yard where the guy worked.

Voight holds up his phone showing the unit a photo. "Brent Norelli. assault, armed robbery. Even did six months at the Cook County psych ward. Norelli inherited this lumber yard from his old man, but it's just a front. He just broke off from the outfit of old-timers, but he's already making plays for some of their rackets. Let's go." they head into the lumber yard without being noticed.

"Chicago Police! Freeze! Get on your knees. Get down! Chicago Police! On your knees, hands up!" a box fall from one of the worker's hands and Antonio kicks it. A fuck load of Oxy falls out.

He whistles/ "10 years worth of oxy."

Vought walks over to a guy and grabs him by his neck. "Where's Norelli?"

" He's in the store room." the guy chokes out as a few of the intelligence unit head over to the storeroom with Voight.

"Chicago P.." Before Antonio can finish there's a gun being shot through the door a few holes were made the shooting stops and Antonio looks back into the hole shooting Norelli Atwater Kicks down the door.

"Don't move! Drop it! Drop it now!" Everyone was yelling at him Atwater rushing over to him after Jay kicked his gun out of his hand.

" Nice vest." Kevin opens his shirt to see he's wearing a bulletproof vest and they haul his ass back to the precinct. After Voight tells Ruzek to toss Norelli in the cage even though his alibi checked out everyone met back downstairs in the bullpen.

" One blast of double-ought buckshot killed both Fagan and Marcello. No shells were found at either murder. Crime scene estimates the kill's height based on blood splatter to be 5'10", which narrows it down."

" There was no forced entry to any of the doors or windows in Marcello's building. There's a fire escape in the back, but it doesn't lead to the roof." Erin explains

"You'd have to climb up from there, which is not an easy feat. But it's the only way that somebody would have come and gone unnoticed." Becklean finishes.

"How long have you been doing this? All right, and how many gun murders have we seen before these?" O Asks

" Two."

" All right, so... It's gotta be a pro." O replies.

" Or a redneck." Atwater says simply with a shrug.

"Pro redneck. I'm calling it." Jay mutters from his seat as Becklean just rolls her eyes. Ruzek says he can dig up their financials and everyone is waiting for him to get back with info, he walks upstairs out of breath.

"All right, all right. I did financial forensics on our two gun victims."

" He farmed it out, I guarantee it. " Atwater says, Ruzek sends him a pointed look as Becklean just chuckles.

"Ahem. Fagan and Marcello were partners in a shell company. Maxwell Investments. They loan money out at astronomical... "

"Loan sharks." O interrupts

"I was gonna get to that. Thank you, Alvin." Ruzek sasses as Alvin Rubs his beard with a smirk." Ahem. Their latest client just signed over his dry cleaning business a week ago. One Dale Hansen. Owned Fine Choice cleaners. Two locations, one on North Broadway, a second on West Belmont. Is that fast enough for you, Al?" Ruzek turns to his partner who raises his coffee cup at him.

" All right, you and Halstead go pay this dry cleaner a visit." He nods to Antonio. " I got someone else I want to talk to." Voight seems to walk away as Becklean and Erin step up to him.

"Hank. I know you and Nick Marcello were friends." Erin says.

" Let me guess. You got an opinion about that, too."

" I just wanted to say I'm sorry. It was always a lot of laughs when him and Tricia would come over for dinner. Hmm. He was a real nice guy. And I liked him." Erun gives him a small smiles

"Yeah and Tricia was wayy out of his league." Becklean says as the trio chuckles before she walks off back to her desk.

Becklean was hating the fact that Voight was keeping her cooped up inside the office, for her own protection, please she worked with Steve Mcgarrett for four years and that man had trouble finding him everywhere he went. She could handle a little bounty, hell she could handle anything, that girl could fight, especially in hand to hand, badass in every aspect. She waited for O and Erin to get back, only they came back with the latest Victim's daughter who was shoved in the trunk, she was covered in blood and shaking she witnessed the entire thing happen.

"Toni Roni, hey, gun shell was found in the garage, 10-guage. We're looking into the lot number to see where it was bought." Becklean hands a photo to Antonio

" You run a check on Dale Hansen? "

"Yeah, he hasn't bought a gun. Legally." Becklean replies with a shrug. As Erin is giving Colette to Ruzek for a sketch deposit, he couldn't work the composite software and take her downstairs to the sketch artist.

Becklean was in a country club bar half way across town from her apartment, Kelly walked through the door. He walks over to her at the bar, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"What the hell is going on?" he asks taking of his jacket and sitting it down next to him,

"It's a very long story that has to do with my job and I am just trying to keep you safe." she mutters as he nods his head, the bartender places a beer in front of him as he looks at a Becklean who nods. He thanks the burly man who saunters off.

"So why so secretive?"

"I can't tell you the less you know, the more I can protect you."

"I am not a child Becklean, I can protect myself, Have that cobalt under my pillow that you gave me." he bumps his shoulder against her as she shakes her head sipping on her bourbon,

Their witty banter and flirting doesn't stop until Becklean's phone buzzes. She pulls it out of her pocket after seeing a text from her neighbor.

"Oh, shit."

" What?" Kelly asks as Becklean is putting on her jacket.

" I got... I gotta go." she throws a few bills on the counter downing the rest of her drink.

" Okay." Kelly says as she runs out, she hops on her motorcycle arriving at her house in under twenty minutes. She approaches her door seeing it broken where the lock part was, she steps inside seeing her neighbor Richard.

"Figured since you're a cop, I don't have to call 911." she steps inside seeing her place trashed papers stown everywhere. "They skipped the good stuff." he says referring to her television and laptop, which was sitting on her coffee table.

"Any other apartments broken into?"

"Just yours." he replies as she rolls her tongue and hands on her hips. If it was a war they wanted it was a war they were gonna get.

It was the next day and Nadia slammed a mug of Coffee onto Jay's Desk as Ruzek runs up the stairs, a paper in his grasp.

"Guys? This mean anything to you?"He slaps a composite sketch up onto the board. As Jay and Antonio look at eachother, Jay gets up from his chair walking over to the photo.

"That's the kid from the hospital. That's Dale Hansen's son." Jay explains as Antonio nods and points. Erin and Becklean begin looking up info on Nate,

" Nate Hansen was enrolled at the Union Hill Military Academy in Arizona. His TAC officer says he was first in his class but three days ago, he disappeared. That was the day after his mother overdosed."

" I just checked with the school's armory. They're missing a Browning gold 10-gauge, along with a box of shells."

" Let's grab this kid up."

So there they were about to enter the Hansen household, Atwater was about to take a ram to the door, he makes their presence known by shouting Chicago Police Department as is about to swing the ram when a woman opens the door hands up in defense.

"My brother's not here." she says .

" Get back, get back." Ruzek says as they enter the house.

" Eyewitness described your son to a "T." Antonio shows Dale the sketch.

"I think you got squeezed, you wanted some retribution, so you sent your son to do it for you." Jay speaks up.

"I swear we just found out what Nate was doing. He ran off maybe a half hour ago."

" We're all clear, guys. No Nate, no weapon." Erin walks up the stairs with Ruzek, O, and Atwater,

" If you had nothing to do with it, how did Nate know who to target?" Becklean asks with a nod.

" The three of them. Marcello, Fagan, and Valeo showed up one night. When I said I'd go to the cops, they threatened my life. My kids. Nate saw them do this. He saw me cower and beg. The look on his face. It's my fault." the father, Dale, cries as his daughter comforts him.

"If you find Nate, please don't hurt him." the sister begs.

"That's up to him."

" Is there anyone else who leaned on you, your son might be gunning for?"

" Uh... There was a boss who I paid money to a few times. Enrietto." he says

" Don Enrietto?" Voight asks as he nods. He takes O and Jay to Enrietto's house.

Erin, Kevin, and Becklean were in a car down the street. they see Jay chasing after Nate and Erin stops the car

"Jay!" Becklean yells chasing after the two. Nate hops a fence and so does Becklean, followed by everyone else, she follows him down the ladder to the train tracks everyone else catching up with her and Jay,

"Nate, stop!" Jay yells as a train horn starts blaring Nate runs into the tunnel as a train comes out Becklean pulls everyone off to the side. And they watch as the train moves by quickly, before walking on the train tracks.

"When I was on patrol, a guy got mugged. Chased a robber into one of these. Took the body patrol about three days to find all those parts."

" How about you tell that story when we're not walking on the tracks?" Erin muters as a rattling sound is heard, Jay presses a finger to his lips seeing

" Check this out." Jay holsters hnis gun seeing a ladder they walk up to it seeing it leading to the street where they appear with their guns raised , Nate was nowhere in sight, Antonio and Ruzek pull up and the group meet them at their car.

" We got a ping on Hansen's phone. It's right around here somewhere."

" Where?" Everyone leans in to look at Ruzek's phone.

"I don't know, this thing says right here."

" Police!" A woman shouts as the group runs over.

"What happened?" Becklean asked, holstering her gun.

" A kid. He had a gun."

" A white kid in a Navy hoodie?" Erin asks as the woman nods.

" Hey, he dumped his phone." Jay comes over holding up Nate's phone.

" He took my car."

" What kind of car?" Becklean asks as the woman is hysterical. She is a crying mess and explains her car to them. Everyone was on high alert.

"It's not good enough. I want every blue 2005 Ford Escort on any highway coming out of Chicago to... " Antonio was yelling into his phone.

"Guys? White male with a gun just stormed into Chicago Med."Erin explains

"That's where Hansen's mother is" Antonio explains as everyone piles in to the car, Becklean and Jay were running down the hall of the hospital on the floor where Nate's mother was every officer in the area were standing there guns aimed at Nate.

" Stay back!" Nate yells as The two approach the door.

"Wait, wait, wait. Hey, put your gun down. Put them down. Put your gun down! " Jay is yelling at everyone Becklean was hiding behind a wall, hand on her gun in case something happened.

"Stay back!"

" Nate. Listen to me, okay?" Jay puts his gun down on the ground. " I was in the army. Third battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. My name is Jay. And I know exactly what you're feeling right now. You were trained to protect. And that's what you did. But it's over, okay? So I need you to just put your gun down. And I promise you, you're gonna walk out of here. You're 17. They can't charge you as an adult, all right? You could still make a deal."

"They won't shoot me?"

" Buddy, they got to shoot me first." Jay says as Becklean practically melts at how sweet he was. Nate disarms the gun, handing it to Jay before turning to his mom to tell him he loved her, Jay hands the gun to Antonio before arresting Nate everyone watches in sadness.

They took Nate in for questioning, before booking him. The world was difficult, arresting a teenager was difficult and she hated it all of it every second of it. Of course life for her wasnt always rainbows and sunshines occasionally it was thunderstorms and tsunami's. She had a meeting with Erin and Bunny for moral support Really, she ignored Bunny's questions towards her the entire time turns out she only invited Erin and Becklean to hyper her up for her new boo, make her seem like less of a shitty person, she had went to a different bar this time she needed to talk with Jay and he invited her to a place around the corner from his house. He was there when she arrived.

"Hey."

" Hey." she downs her bourbon in one sip placing the glass back down on the bar.

" Went well, huh?"

" Mm-hmm. Can I have another one?" She turns to the bartender.

" You got it." she takes her glass, going to refill it as Jay gives the woman a playful smirk.

" You're sleeping with her." she comments as Jay makes an amused face.

" What? No."

" You're a horrible liar." she quipps.

" We played Scrabble, like, once at her apartment." Becklean just starts laughing.

" Shut up."

" That's it."

"Shut up." The bartender places her cup back down on the bar. " Thank you. She's cute."

" What's up?" He asks as she sips her bourbon.

" I need a place to crash until the bounty blows over." she explains as he just looks at her. She sighs looking back at him with those fluttery lashes, and sparkling eyes. " Can I crash with you?.....Please"

"Fine." he says as she cheers.

"Are you gonna try to play Scrabble with me, too?" She asks, laughing at the look on face.

" I will be the perfect gentleman, as usual." he says as she laugh harder, Jay sees a guy walk in with a gun,

"Bexs!" he yells moving her quickly over to the table everyone is screaming as She pulls out her gun shooting back at the guy Jay does too before seeing the bartender on the ground.

"Maddie!" He slides across the floor to her as Becklean chases after the guy.
