CHICAGO PD: SEASON TWO
EPISODE ONE: CALL IT MACARONI

─────────────────────────

                         Kassidy sat at her desk, her eyes looking at the name and number of the contact she had pulled up. Her fingers drumming against her wooden top of the desk.

She could faintly hear the phone ring from Nadia's desk but she didn't really pay any mind to it until Nadia had spoke "Lindsay, Bunny Again"

Erin just shrugged "take a number I'll call her back"

Kassidy looked at the woman across from her with furrowed brows but she thought best not to pester her on it. Her gaze flick to Jay as he storms out of Voight's office grabbing is jacket and leaving the room.

.      .      .

Kassidy walked into the bar, Molly's her eyes landing on the Halstead man. The girl walks over to him, taking a seat beside him "Halstead"

A slight smile pulled at the man's lips, just hearing her voice he knew who it was. He shifted looking at the girl "how'd you find me?"

Kassidy shrugged "I'm just that good" she jokingly said before bunching her shoulders "I asked Erin where you might've gone, you looked angry"

The man sighed pausing, wondering if he should ask until he finally did "do you think Voight would be involved with Jin's murder?"

Kassidy paused for a moment to think on his question "Jay, I haven't seen Hank in a long time. But, I don't think he would ever kill someone on his team, never"

Kassidy leaned on the bar "what makes you think he would be?"

Jays head just shook "I feel like he's gonna bury this case and I don't know why"

The Williams shrugged "why would he?" She took a breath "Voight might not be the cleanest cop in this town- he never really was, but if it was any one of you he'd figure it out. I'm sure he's trying to figure out Jin's- even though I never met the guy" she laughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.

The girl squeezed his shoulders lightly "don't let this go to your head too much"

That was all she said before heading towards the door to the bar, leaving the Halstead man alone with his thoughts.

➣

Kassidy's ears rang from the explosion that had occurred just a few feet away from her, her breathing rigid, her hand going down to the side of her stomach.

She hissed immediately at the pain that radiated through her body, she slowly raised her hand above her face.

Her eyes scanning the crimson red that stained her fingers. Every single noise, every gunfire was a mere echo until her ears finally adjusted back to sound.

The shock washing off of her and every single amount of pain she could feel, her aching bones, her flaking skin, and the warm feeling of her blood exiting her body.

"Kassidy!"

A gasp left her lips as she shot upright in her bed, the sheet clinging to her skin as sweat covered her body.

Kassidy rested a hand on her chest before her head fell into her free hand. She never really had any nightmares- well not as much as she did from her time served but maybe it was something about being back here, back in Chicago, seeing the man who had saved her life.

The woman ran a hand down her face before glancing at the alarm clock on her nightstand, sighing at the time before falling back into her bed.

➣

Kassidy poured another packet of sugar into her mug before she began to stir the warm liquid.

"Geez, a bit much of sugar, huh?" Jays commented, motioning to the pile of sugar packets.

Kassidy glanced at him before rolling her eyes "couldn't exactly sleep"

Jay eyed her "one of those nights?" He asked leaning on the counter beside her, his arms crossed.

Kassidy looked at him slightly confused as she sets her mug down "I can tell by your tone" Jay stated, with a nod "same tone we all use so people don't ask questions about why"

The girl quirked a brow "Okay" she chuckled "when did you become a therapist?"

Jays head fell forward, a smile on his face, the man holding back a laugh.

"Went and picked up my brother yesterday" Kassidy began as she picked up her mug turning to Jay "I'm having him move in with me"

Jays brows pulled together, Kassidy could sense a question waiting to be asked so she answered before hand "he's had a drug problem but he says he's been sober and our mother just won't let him back in" she shrugged.

The man nodded "wait, so how'd you find him?"

Kassidy took a sip of her coffee before setting the mug down "he always goes at the same spot"

"He's been kicked out more than once?"

She quirked a brow at the man "yes.. watch it, Halstead, this is my brother" she pointed a finger at him.

The man raised his hands in a mock of surrender "hey, I didn't say anything"

Kassidy just laughed with a shake of her head as she moved out of the kitchen, the man following after.

"Halstead" Voight began gaining the man's attention "Lindsay's questioning Chris Gamble" he motioned his head as if stating for him to go join her.

Jay just nods as he moves past the Williams girl.

➣

Kassidy grabbed the folder handing it to Erin before heading back and sitting at her desk. It didn't take long for Chris Gamble to break and tell them about everything and about a trade-off that's supposed to be happening with his buddy Christian.

The Williams gaze turned to Voight as he walked up the steps and it was as if the whole atmosphere changed drastically, all eyes going to him.

"I don't know what you heard but let me set things straight" Voight began, looking at each member of the team "in order to get my job back, I made a deal with I.A. The deal was I put myself out there as dirty so I can take down high-level criminals"

Voight took a few steps forward, his face serious "I never agreed nor did I ever report in another cop. You can like it or not, that was the deal"

Kassidy looked at Erin and she couldn't quite describe the look on her face- whether it was anger or not Kassidy couldn't tell.

"We should gear up for our meet" was all that the Lindsay woman said before walking out of the room, Antonio humming in response.

Kassidy bit her bottom lip before she followed Erin down to the back entrance.

.       .       .

Kassidy walked over to Antonio and the others as the Dawson man spoke "now whether this evidence bag was open or not, or if it broke chain of custody, I don't really give a damn. That's for the states attorney's office to worry about. Main thing is to get Oskar Bembenek showing up with 200K, and head will roll from there. Wait for the money to be handed over first, then move in"

Alvin quickly spoke up after "then we move in quick, okay? As you can tell Bemenek and his brother have no problem getting violent"

Kassidy took a breath nodding at the man's words as the disperse. The Williams walking over the holding cell as she opened it "alright, Gamble. Time to get you wired" the man walked forward, Kassidy grabbing him by the arm and leading him into a separate room.

➣

Kassidy hid behind the building, peaking out just barely as she watched a black car join the other two cars that were waiting.

She watched the exchange happen then Oskar turned saying something and not long after the man's pulled guns towards the others including Chris.

"Move in!" Antonio's voice came through.

Kassidy ran forward, moving to the second getaway exit while Jay and Erin had pulled up in their car blocking the exit as they waited.

The black car came to a stop the drivers side door opening.

"Put your hands in the up!" Kassidy shouted as the man climbed out of the car.

He only raised up on hand, the other behind his back, Kassidy moved forward as he shouted back "It's all good!"

In a split second he moved his second hand forward pulling the trigger to his gun aimed at Kassidy.

Kassidy felt an impact into her chest, knocking the air from her lungs as she fell to the ground. Her vest had protected her but the pain radiated from the impact of the Bullet.

A faint second gunshot was heard- most likely hitting Oskar's brother, Jacob that had shot at her.

Her breathing was quick, trying to catch her breath but the sounds around her echoed out, her surroundings changing to the ones on the day she was shot.

As the girl looked around everything was changed, her eyes looking down to see blood pooling around her- blood that wasn't actually there.

Her breathing was growing quicker by the second as she panicked. She could feel a pair of arms hook around her dragging her around behind the building, setting her against the wall.

Her eyes were wide her breathing restricted like she couldn't get enough air, just complete panic was through her whole body.

Jay looked at the girl with concerned eyes, but it was like she was looking right through him. "Kassidy" he begins calmly taking ahold of her shaky hands while his other went to the side of her face.

"Kassidy" her eyes look at him, reality slowly coming back to her.

Once she realized she glanced down to the bullet stuck in her vest before back to Jay who still held her hands.

Kassidy broke- whether it was out of embarrassment or having to relive the experience as if it was happening all over again. Tears falling from her eyes, her head falling forward to where her hands were.

Erin jogged around to the side of the building looking between Jay and Kassidy, worried for her friend but the Halstead man just gave her a reassuring nod that she was okay.

Jay wrapped his arm around the crying girl, holding her close to try and give her some type of comfort.

➣

Kassidy opened the door to her apartment as she gave Jay a tight-lipped smile "this bar Molly's better have some good booze, cause I need it"

Jay laughed as he nodded "we always go there, others are gonna be there too"

Kassidy quirked a brow as they walk down the hall of the building "you mean, other people to pester me about today?"

Jay shook his head "nope, just co-workers waiting to find out if our boss gets suspended or not"

Kassidy's lips formed an upside-down smile as she nods. Jay knew what happened with her and he knew why so he wasn't going to question her about it.

.       .       .

They sat at a table with Kevin, Adam, and Sylvie Brett, a firefighter at 51.

Kassidy laughed as she took a sip of her beer. "Hey get this" Adam began as he rejoined them at the table "Voight Beat the suspension"

Kevin's brows pull together "thought he was facing termination?"

Adam just laughed with a shrug "I don't know, call it Macaroni, dude. He's gonna be back in the office tomorrow, he beat it"

Kassidy's lips pursed, her head tilted "did you just say call it macaroni?"

Adam looked at her "yeah"

She laughed with a shake of her head "literally never heard a single person say that in my life"

Adam looked almost offended "what do you mean? What's wrong with call it macaroni" he questioned with his arms out

Before Kassidy could respond Alvin walked up to the table- basically appearing out of nowhere. "Jay"

The Halstead man flinched slightly at the man that came up behind him "woah." He laughed "Al, what's up man" Jay looked at Sylvie as he introduced them "Sylvie Brett, Alvin Olinsky"

Sylvie gave him a quick hello with a smile. Kassidy noticed the look on the older man's face. This wasn't some get together after work, he was here because of something serious.

"Um" Alvin trailed off looking at Jay "let me have a quick word with you" he motioned his head towards the door, Jay following with furrowed brows.

Kassidy listened intently, trying to hear over the faint music and the chatter of others.

"Oskar Bembenek just put a hundred thousand dollar bounty on your head for killing his brother Jacob"

Kassidy's eyes widened ever so slightly at Al's words- words she almost wished she misheard.

She knew what people would do for that kind of money.
