thirty one.

Everyone crowded in the bullpen. Jay had just gotten back and now they were waiting on Kev. A little altercation had occurred during their undercover meet-up. The unit was trying to get some guns off the street because of how dangerous they were. So the two men went under on different sides so they could figure out a way to bust the dealers and get rid of the guns. Pru had exited the break room with two bags of chips. Tossing one to Al who nodded in appreciation at his desk partner.

"Jay!" Kev yelled as he made his way up the stairs.

"What the hell is going on, man? We came in to make a deal. What they playin' games for?" Kev wondered as Jay and him approached each other.

"Hold up, man! It was a go on our side, too, alright? Get your boy in line!" Jay snapped.

"Really, dawg?" Kev challenged.

"Yeah, I don't think so. Back it up." Pru began as she spaced the two apart herself.

"Your guns have the guns, correct?" Pru questioned Jay.

"The gun Nate pulled was definitely an M4, that much I know. I don't know how many though." Jay stated.

"Alright, so these guys were being careful, or were they just trying to buy time 'cause they don't have the guns in their position?" Antonio wondered.

"It's unclear—Dexter plays everything close to the vest." Jay replied.

"Okay, so lets keep this thing alive. Alright? Jay, Kevin, you stay under. Try to make this gun deal happen. 'Kay? We have got to get these M4s off the street. They're too powerful." Hank instructed.

"Now the both of you apologize to the other." Pru demanded Jay and Kev. They sighed, letting out a 'sorry'.
Catching everyone's attention, Trudy ascended the stairs with two detectives following as Hank approached them.

"What the hell do you want?" He asked. The detectives looked at Hank then walked past him heading towards Al's desk where he sat eating his chips.

"Bad news, Al. Grand Jury voted to indict." The man announced.

"You're under arrest for the murder of Kevin Bingham. Stand up." The women stated.

"What? That's ridiculous!" Pru exclaimed in disbelief as Jay placed both his hands on her shoulders while he stood behind her.

"We're gonna need your weapon and badge." The man informed as the women pulled out handcuffs.

"Are you kidding me? Handcuffs? He's got 30 years in the job." Voight spoke.

"Weapon. And badge. Now." The woman ignored Voight as Al slowly stood up. Handing his things over before he got cuffed. All they could do was watch as this all went down. And soon enough, Al was escorted off down the stairs.

Pru walked through Gaffney Center, making her way in the direction of the cafeteria. Will had sent his lunch break time to her the day prior. The girl had promised to bring him some lunch so he could get a break of the hospital food. But earlier that day he had texted her telling her that they were jampacked that day so he wouldn't be able to sit down and talk. Pru had told him not to worry about that and that she was still going to deliver his lunch. And with Will's lunch she had Natalie's in the plastic bag. Carrying the food bag and drinks, the girl looked around the room.

The blonde scoped out the room until her eyes landed on the red head walking in from the other hall. His head was down and his attention on his phone as he was texting. He looked up for a split second to catch sight of Pru. Sending a relieved warm smile her way before approaching her. The girl handed over the bag and then the two drinks.

"You're an angel sent from above. It's chaotic right now. Surgeries are piling up and rooms are all filled." Will let out as Pru shook her head.

"Are they all separate or from the same thing?" Pru wondered.

"Ten of them are all from the same car accident then the rest are all separate." He informed her.

"That's right. While I was heading out I caught part of the word of an accident. Well, I hope you all work your magic and save some lives." Pru said and Will chuckled.

"I can't thank you enough for bringing lunch." Will began.

"It was no problem really. Just make sure you eat your own food and not Nat's." Pru pointed at him.

"I'll try my best to control myself." Will joked.

"Alright, well I have to go. I have more food to deliver." Pru began to excuse herself.

"Ouch. You weren't just doing it for me and Nat? That hurts." Will held his hand over his heart in an offended joking manner.

"Sorry, you're not my last stop on the lunch train." Pru laughed as she pulled her keys out.

"Your dad is actually the last person on the stop today." Pru told Will who took a minute to process what the girl had just said.

"My dad?" Will confusedly asked.

"Yeah. It's quite surprising to me too. But he really seems to like me. He said I'm welcome anytime and since I couldn't eat lunch with you today, I figured that he could use some company." Pru said. Will smiled at the girl who was very caring.

"Does Jay know about this lunch date with our father?" Will wondered as Pru gave Will a look.

"Technically he doesn't. But he's under in our current case so he won't know until later." Pru answered. Will shook his head as he tried not to laugh.

"Alright. I'll wish you the best of luck." Will bid. Pressing a kiss to her head as he gave her a hug.

"See you later." Pru waved before she headed off.

Pru, Hailey, and Hank sat in the undercover car as they waited near the abandoned warehouse. Keeping their eyes out for any cars to indicate the meet up would soon begin so then they could bust then faster and take weapons off the street. Silence had filled the vehicle. The only noise had been from the walkies. Pru was sat in the passenger seat, while Hailey sat in the back. A car began to pull down into the lot. Passing by parked car off to the side.

"Halstead just arrived with Dexter. Standby." Voight instructed over the walkie to the others. Radioing his unit who all were getting set in their places for the bust.

"No eyes. Moving for a better position." Kev said.

"We're in position in the back." Kim informed.

"Sarge. The whole Olinsky thing. I can't imagine how hard this must be. If you need something-."

"I just need you to do your job, Hailey, that's all." Voight cut Hailey off as Pru looked back at her sister.

"Hank... He's going to be alright, right?" Pru asked as he peered at the younger girl beside him in the passenger seat. She looked beyond worried as she fiddled with her hands.

"He should be. I'm trying everything in my power to make sure he is." Hank told her. She nodded with hesitation before looking forward. Another car began to pull in as Hank loomed in his side mirror.

"Wes is arriving. Wait for my signal." He radioed as the SUV passed them. A few minutes later Pru furrowed her brows when a new vehicle pulled into the lot.

"Sarge, Blue van now approaching." Pru announced.

"Okay. Van is approaching, blue.  We wait for it to park then move in on my signal." Hank told his unit.

"We got a gun." Adam informed.

"Move in now!" Voight told them as sped towards the scene in the undercover car. All three of them exited the car with guns raised.

"Chicago PD, don't move!" Pru called out as the blue van took off.

"Chicago PD, drop your weapons!" Hank demanded as Dexter aimed his gun in the direction of the three cops. Jay swiftly moved as he took his own gun and put it to the back of Dexter's back.

"Drop the bag." Hailey instructed as her and Pru moved in to cuff Wes and Malik while Jay took care of Dexter.

They all gathered in the courtroom. Taking up the few rows of benches were the Intelligence Unit, Trudy Platt and Meredith Olinsky. Pru had taken a seat beside Meredith, holding the women's hand. Jay sat on the other side of Pru, while Antonio sat on Meredith's other side. Pru bounced her leg nervously in her spot at the front. Jay placed his hand on top of her leg to get her to stop the nervous habit. She looked at him, sadly smiling before placing her other hand on top of his to lace their hands together. Al was lead into the room by a deputy to his spot. All of them stared at their friend and coworker as he stood in front of the table. His back faced to everyone of them as he looked forward.

"All rise." Everyone stood in the room as the judge walked out into the room.

"Court is in session. The honorable Judge Maddox presiding. You may be seated." The people in the courtroom followed the instructions as they took their seats.

"The state of Illinois vs. Alvin Olinsky. Murder in the second  degree, case number 542234. Mr. Osha?" The judge stated before looking to a man who spoke on behalf of the state.

"Your Honor, given the serious nature of the charge, and the fact that the defendant was a veteran police officer with unique knowledge of the criminal justice system, as well as having access to confidential informants and members of organized crime syndicates, we believe he poses significant flight risk. And as such, we would request that no bail be set, and that the defendant be remanded to the Cook County Jail until trial." Mr. Osha informed the judge.

"Mr. Manetti?" The judge turned to Al's lawyer.

"Your Honor, the state's request is both preposterous and punitive. This case is built on sand. The only evidence connecting Alvin Olinsky to the homicide victim is a single strand of hair and the testimony of a drug-addled witness. As such, to hold Mr. Olinsky in prison to leverage some sort of plea bargain is unconscionable. Moreover, Mr. Olinsky's put his life on the line for the people of this city for over thirty years."

"Mr. Manetti, this is a bond hearing, not a closing argument. Defendant is remanded into the custody of the Cook County Jail, pending trial. Next case." The judge cut the lawyer off and closed the bond hearing case. Pru put her head into her hands as Jay rubbed her back while Antonio comforted Meredith.

They all stood in the bullpen still in their dressy clothes having just come over from the hearing. All of them waited for Voight to arrive to tell them what to do now. The room was filled with silence. When Voight finally came up from the stairs, all eyes were on him.

"So what's the next step, Sarge?" Jay questioned.

"Did you talk to Al or his lawyer?" Hailey wondered. All of them throwing questions at the man who kept walking towards his office without sayin a word.

"Is he gonna appeal the bond hearing? Hey! I asked you a question." Antonio called out to his boss. Everyone stared at Voight's back as he paused.

"Okay, umm... Al's gonna be out of there soon. Real soon. Okay?" Voight said.

"What does that mean?" Antonio asked.

"It means I'm taking care of things, but I can't get into details right now." Hank answered.

"Why not?" Antonio pressed.

"I appreciate your concern. But you gotta back off now." Hank sternly said.

"I wanna know what I can do to help Al. But all I'm hearing from you  is nothing." Antonio said. Hank soon flipped out, shoving Antonio back. Everyone got in between them as Hank yelled,

"Because you don't know what you're talking about!"

"Enough! Enough!" Kim yelled.

"This is not the time to turn on one another." Pru stated. They all watched their boss attentively before he walked into his office and slammed the door.
