You sat in your chair, thinking of the conversation you had just had with your older twin brother. Lasalle slowly stood up from his desk a few feet away.

"You mean to say that the project that almost got Luca killed is in your hometown?"

"Guess so."

"What're y'all talking about," asked your boss, Special Agent Dwayne Pride, aka King to you and Lasalle.

"My older brother, Jay, he works for the Intelligence Unit for CPD. They made a bust up in an apartment building, and found some classified material on Manta."

Pride sat on the edge of his desk. "What do you think it is?"

You shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I know my brother. He wouldn't lie about this."

Pride thought for a moment and sighed as he stood up and started pacing a little. "Would he be able to do a video conference?"

"I'll set it up King."

oOo

Jay smiled at the Skype screen when you and your team popped up. "Hey kid, how's the Big Easy?"

You scoffed. "Just because you're four minutes older doesn't mean you get the right to call me kid," you smiled at your twin. Both of you had blue eyes and brown hair, but Jay has more freckles than you do. "In all seriousness, it's good other than this situation."

Lasalle pushed into frame. "Is this the famous twin brother of my partner?"

You smacked Chris' arm as he came into view of the camera. Jay laughed and shook his head. "I'm afraid so. You must be Chris. Y/n has told me some stories."

"All good things I hope," Lasalle said as he turned to face you.

"Only the good things. Chris, this is Jay my older brother."

oOo

After spending more than an hour of discussion, Pride agreed to let two of his agents go to Chicago to offer consultation.

Y/n followed Pride into the kitchen, determined to get back to her home state of Illinois. "King, you gotta let me go up there. I know that city, I grew up there my entire life."

Pride sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, as he turned the stove on to heat up some leftover gumbo . "Halstead, I know you wanna work this case, but I'm not going to allow you to go up to Chicago by yourself. Take Lasalle with you."

"That's all I'm asking for sir."

Pride smiled a little. "Just do me one favor."

You nodded, "What's that?"

"Once y'all have figured out the case, take sometime to see your family. I know you haven't seen them in a few years and you miss them. Take a few extra days and then come back home."

You smiled that infamous bright smile, known for cheering anyone up. "Yes sir."
