"Pure passion"

Chapter Nineteen: You Make a Better Door
2x09: Called in Dead

*Trigger Warning*

Becklean had never done something of this caliber in her life. When Nadia's friend shows up at Nadia's door higher than a kite spiraling, She takes her to Erin's house and shows her a bag of cocaine called passion and Erin takes it to Voight, apparently Passion was killing people on the street for months and Nadia's friend was a dancer in the club that was making the cocaine. So the unit Decides to do a bust and take all their cocaine before they are about to move their operation to the north side. Becklean was the lookout incase anything happened, she had her gun aimed through the window of the pickup truck a ski mask on her face, when the boys dive into the back onto the bed of the truck,

"Did you get it?" She asks as Jay shows the two blondes the cocaine they whistle and Erin takes off they pull into the garage as Voight is smiling he opened the lift for the bed of the truck.

" Everybody good? Everybody in one piece?"

" 20 kilos of pure Passion." Antonio hands it to Voight hoping down from the back.

"Oh, yeah, it's been a while since we pulled a rip. I forgot how much fun it was."

" I've done some pretty crazy recon missions that got my heart pumping." Jay says as he hops down.

" You two!" Commander points to Erin and Voight as everyone else is mingling. Ruzek comes up saying that the wire they put in the manager from the club's phone is buzzing, the club manager is talking and they go to the back to have a listen.

" Yo, yo, Sarge."

" Yeah?"

" Got a wire up on Trenton's phone. And we got eyes right there on the club through the mini-cam that we planted across the street." Kev explains as he pulls up the feed.

The club manager is on the phone standing outside. " Blue. Yeah, man. We got hit."

"The police?"

"No. A crew. Dudes were all blacked out. They had on masks. They got the 20 keys."

" All right, put on a street award. Ten grand to any hype who coughs up this crew. You don't have a name by morning, it's on you." the phone line clicks indicating that the Blue person hung up, Voight patts Attwater on the back.

" All right, keep listening. Make your overtime."

" I can do that." Attwater nods as Becklean kisses him on the cheek, he smiles.

//

"Trenton Bostaph, the club manager, no priors. Not even a parking ticket."

" So, aside from operating a heroin lab, he's also a boy scout." Jay sasses as Becklean shakes her head at him.

" Yeah. That's 'cause Trenton's low level. He answers to this guy, Blue. Which is an adorable nickname I've put through the known offenders database. The most popular nickname is "Shorty." Second most popular nickname is... Blue."

". So....,"

O tries his best to whisper but does a terrible job at it he ask Nadia to send flowers to Meredith, his ex-wife and a romantic card and everyone hears the entire thing, O just straightens up when Nadia walks away with the roses.

"like I was saying. What do we got on the wire?"

"Trenton's been making a lot of calls to this blue cat trying to buy himself some time." Attwater explains.

" Those 20 kilos are almost two million street values. Trenton's got two choices. He could hop a bus and disappear or get dead." Becklean speaks up from next to Antonio.

"He knows it. I say we bring him in now, flip him, have him reel in Blue"

"Bring him in." Voight nods to Antonio and Becklean who grab their coats.

They bring in Trenton,

" Drugs? All I deal with is fantasy. I'll give you guys coupons, you can come check it out sometime" He nods to Antonio.

" Oh, yeah?"

" Maybe get you up on stage. You'd win amateur night hands down." He smirks at Becklean who leans on the table.

" Would I?" she smiles her famous smile before pouring his cup of water in his lap.

" Hey!"

" We heard you got robbed last night."

" I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't report any robbery."

" Think you're gonna find the crew who ripped you off?" Antonio holds up the mask they wore last night.

" Those 20 keys of Passion. They're on ice in our evidence locker."

" Feel like talking now?" Becklean smirks at Trenton.

" Man, I... I just manage the joint upstairs, I... I make sure the stuff gets cut downstairs and Blue breaks me off a salary for both."

" Who's Blue? He's running the show?" Antonio nods at Trenton.

" I don't know his real name. From what I know, Blue's their street captain. Muscle. I got problems, so call him. You're gonna set up a meeting. Tell him you were robbed by some outlaws."

" Bikers?"

"Sounds like a great cover story to me, he'll buy it. The outlaws are the only ones crazy enough to rip you off. Besides us.'' Antonio explains.

" We cut you loose, nobody's gonna believe your story anyway. You got robbed by a bunch of cops? And then you owe some very bad men two million. Make the call, bring us Blue," Becklean slides Trenton his phone. " and we'll talk to the state's attorney for you."

//

Of course trenton sets up the Meet everyone is waiting by in a few cars.

"Everyone move in with caution."

"Copy, coming around." Becklean says into her radio they pull around forward everyone blocking them in.

"Chicago PD! Drop the... Drop the gun! Get on the ground!"

Everyone was yelling and cuffing people left and right, things were happening, only the guy running the show folded way to easily.

Blue was put in the cage and being questioned by Jay and Ruzek Jay came back into the bullpen facing Voight, Erin and Becklean while sitting at their desk. .

"Tell me.?"

"He's not gonna flip." Jay replies with a sigh.

"I'm gonna call the state's attorney, get an I.D. And charge Blue with attempted homicide."

" No. Not yet. You charge him, word will get out on the street. Just keep him chained in the cage, make sure his cell phone's charged, we'll wire tap it, see what we get. You got that?" Voight turns to the blondes who nod.

" I'll get a warrant." Becklean picks up her phone as Voight nods.

"All right."

Becklean was on listening duty with Atwater, she was in charge of making sure he stayed in his chair, basically his assistant. They were not getting much and Kevin had snuck off a few times to use the bathroom, Becklean was practically asleep until they got the call about the guys they snuck into O's house and held Meredith at gunpoint, O had killed one of the brothers as Voight is shoving the other one in the cage.

"Al, hey, you good, man? How's Meredith?"

" She's shaken up pretty bad. How'd they get my address? Where I live?" O turns to Becklean and Kevin.

" It's like I told Voight, man, nobody's talking." Kev explains.

" Well you're not gonna hear a thing, because that wire's blown. They got eyes on us."

" You three. Take Blue for a ride." Voight shoves Blue at Antonio, Ruzek, Becklean and Attwater, Becklean just goes up letting the boys handle this one.

She walks upstairs yawning as Jay is eating some cereal. She takes the bowl from his hands, taking a few spoonfuls into her mouth quickly as Jay is chasing after her, his hands on her waist they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, their lips oddly close. Becklean just smiles swallowing the cereal in her mouth before licking the spoon and handing it back to Jay, instant heat between his legs at her action, he grabs the bowl from her as she giggles going back to her seat, a few hours past and everyone is back upstairs at their desk.

" Okay, these guys got protection. The question is, how high up?" Viight speaks up as Ruzek is writing on the board behind him.

" I think I got a pretty good ID. Prints came back on our offenders, Blue's real name is Carl Johnson. Guys that showed up at Al's house, they're actually brothers. A.K.A. The Gary brothers. Jamal and Jesse Seeley, originally from Gary, Indiana, known psychopaths, all three of these guys. Rap sheets a mile long. Manslaughter, assault, possession of narcotics with intent to distribute, they should've been put away a long time ago."

"Who defended them?" Antonio asks, dangling his legs back and forth as he sits on his desk.

" Now that's just it. They all had public defenders. One thing that they have in common is a judge. Judge Darren Lachlan, he presided over all their cases." Ruzek continues,

" Lachlan?"

" Hmm." Voight looks at Becklean who is talking.

" He was named in an FBI sting a few years back. Taking bribes to fix cases. Two judges went down, but he escaped." She finishes.

" All right, taking bribes is one thing but are we saying we think a judge is the silent partner in a heroin ring?"

" I mean, I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory so I called the state's attorney's office... Guess who requested to review our wiretap just yesterday?" Ruzek nods.

" You know, my name was on that paperwork for that seizure. So he'd have access to that and my home address."

" Now, hold on, if we're going after a judge, I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more than speculation." Voight speaks up,

" I looked into his financials. Actually, I didn't... Uh, graffiti artist I busted works at Kinko's, total hacker. He did. And it looks like our judge has a, uh, stash house, boss. It's a two million dollar brownstone. Purchased through a shell company owned by Lachlan. Pretty sure his wife doesn't know about it." Ruzek continues as Becklean just puts down her coffee and starts clapping.

"Whoa Look at Addy doing his job for once," she teases as Ruzek tosses the cap to his marker at her and she smirks.

They bring the judge in as the commander comes up, he tells them to shut down the entire interview only Kevin finds evidence that helps and Voight explains how they roll out in five mins meanwhile there's a guy outside requesting to speak with Erin, Becklean is weary and goes with her.

"There's some guy outside asking for you.' Jay mutters to Erin,

" Did he say what he wanted?"

" No. But he's got D.E.A. written all over him. Either that, or he's the Marlboro man." Jay sasses as Becklean looks at her sister.

"I'm going with." she says simply grabbing her coat.they head outside seeing a white guy leaning up against a car,

" Special Agent David Lang."

" You obviously already know who I am." Erin replies as his eyes linger on Becklean.

"Becklean West," she keeps it short and sweet, arms folded over her chest, jaw tightened.

" Heard you guys had a big win today."

" Yeah, we're still working on it. So can we make this quick?"

He laughs. " I would've made a proper house call earlier, but I'm not sure your sergeant would be happy if I were in his office poaching his best detective."

" State's Attorney Kot tell you to say that?"

" Kot doesn't know I'm here. I respect what Intelligence does for this city. But if you join the task force, you won't be taking dope off the street. I'm talking about shutting down cross-border drug networks, and that's making a difference across the country. Not just in a few neighborhoods. Don't make a decision you'll regret." he looks at Becklean. "As for you, well, there's always room for one more." he smirks as Becklean just nods.

"Thanks but Kot and I don't really like each other."

"Yeah he isn't really good with ladies, especially pretty ones." He smiles as Becklean just rolls her eyes. "Here take this call me if you want to talk" he looks to Becklean. "Personal number is on the back." With that He gets in his car leaving as the two blondes go back inside.

The team rolls out and up to Evan's office, apparently he was leaving for the day he suddenly caught a stomach bug. They found where he was parked and boxed him in, they startled him so bad that he ends up hitting a car in the parking lot and igniting his airbags.

Everyone gets out of their respective cars and approaches him. Antonio pulls him out of the car and slams him on the front of the car, cuffing him as Jay, Erin and Becklean open his trunk, where they find loads of cash and a few files.

"Hey. Check this out." Jay holds up two bundles of cash for Antonio to see.

" Huh. Looks like we found our kingpin." Erin shakes her head at Evan who was being manhandled by Antonio and of course they bring him in for questioning.

"Blue. The Gary brothers. Judge Lachlan sent them to prison but you forged the order of incarceration papers and gave them probation instead." Becklean speaks up.

" That's how you were able to get the paperwork on our wiretap."

" You see what we're up against in this city everyday, and you see the victims firsthand in court. So tell me how a lifelong civil servant decides to work for the other team, and gets into the heroin game." She slams her hand down on the table.

" You know what else I see firsthand? Corruption. For years, I've seen officials on the take. The Gary brothers, they came to me. Made an offer. I keep them and Blue out of prison, they give me a cut. So I forged court documents"

"The felons let off their dope killed kids." Jay speaks up.

" If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else." Evan shrugs as Becklean refrains from punching him in the face.

The night is drawn to a close and Erin walks out of Voight's office, grabs her sister by the hand and brings her into the breakroom.

"You want to do it." Becklean says and Erin nods, they had been inseparable for a while and now this hurt, it was like a bad blow to the gut, only it wasn't bad it was good, it was good for her sister to be branching out, she loved her.

"Promise me that you won't forget about us city kids." Erin laughs patting her sister on the shoulder. The two teary eyed as they hug, all the memories of life came hurtling at them, the first time they met and shared a room, things change, people get older, life moves quicker, this was it, they were being separated. They hug for a bit before wiping their faces and exciting the breakroom hand and hand.

"All right. Molly's, you in?" Jay asks as Becklean looks at her sister.

" Um, actually I need to tell you guys something. A lot of you know that I... I've had an offer to take a spot on a federal task force. And I've thought long and hard about this. And I've decided to take it." she says simply as everyone nods around the room, it was like they knew her answer and were waiting for her to say it.
