"Denise, are you ready? Kelly said you guys have a big day ahead at the zoo" Sam asks, leaning against the doorframe. Denise turns around in her seat to look at her foster mother and said, "all set"

"Great, I just need to find my keys and we can go" Sam says as she hears her phone ring in her back pocket.

Sam looks at the caller ID and answers, "Justin, hey. What's up?"

"Hey Sammy. Pops told me he found Wyatt's address. Said he'd only give it to me, if we go together"

Sam stifles a laugh and says, "he told me the same thing. Hank actually texted me saying we have a case but after that we'll meet up, okay?"

"Yeah sounds great. I'll see you soon. I love you, Sam"

Sam doesn't say anything for a moment, until Justin speaks up and says, "I'm sorry. I guess I had gotten used to saying it"

"It's okay. I'll always love you, Justin, no matter what. We have a child together. Nothing can break that bond"

"You're right. I'll see you later"

"Okay, Bye" Sam says, hanging up the phone and finding her keys on the counter, so her and Denise can head out.

🌙🌙🌙

On the intelligence unit at the 21st district, while Jay helps put on his girlfriends vest, he catches her up on the case and how the father of the missing girl has Mouse at gunpoint.

"District is on lockdown and OEMC's been advised. I've rerouted all in service calls to the 26th and I've got five patrolmen sitting on the downstairs office" Trudy explains to commander Fischer.

"Have those officers hold fast until they deploy a sniper team and draw up an assault plan" Fischer says.

"Yes sir" platt says, walking away.

"What do we know?" The commander asks. Dawson finishes taping a few pictures on the white board and says, "names Jeff Frazier, he's 44. Lives in Ankeny, Iowa. No criminal priors, no history of mental illness. Last July his daughter disappeared. Three days later, they found her car in an Amtrak parking lot, no record of her ever buying a ticket"

"Boss, credit card story checks out" Adam says, walking over to the team and handing Dawson a paper, "three months of inactivity, then Sarah's card bought five flat screen TVs in little village just last week"

Voight looks at Antonio and Adam saying, "run with it"

"Got it" Antonio says, as he and Adam walk away.

"Sarg" Jay says.

"Yeah" Hank says.

"That's my friend downstairs. Time comes for someone to pull the trigger. It should be me, not SWAT"

"If we're lucky, nobody's pulling the trigger" Hank says, walking away and answering his phone, "Justin"

"Pops hey. I just got in. I already talked to Sammy about Wyatt. I was thinking about stopping by the district, so we can all talk about it"

"Nows not a good time. I was hoping all three of us could go out for dinner tonight" Hank says, looking at Sam who is hugging Jay.

"Yeah sure. You good?"

"Yeah. I'm just really looking forward to all of us becoming a family again" Hank says, hanging up his phone and leaving the unit.

🌙🌙🌙

After getting a call from Antonio telling them who bought the five flat screens. Sam and Kevin get off an elevator to an apartment belonging to an Oscar Mena.

"Oscar Mena?" Sam asks, as a man walks over to them.

"Yeah-" Oscar starts to say but is cut off by Kevin pushing him back into his apartment, "what?"

"Sit down" Atwater says, "where's Sarah?"

"Who?"

"Who the hell is Sarah?" A woman asks, who is sitting at a table across from Kevin and Oscar. Sam walks in behind Kevin and points to all the items in the living room and says, "Sarah's the girl whose credit card funded this little shopping spree"

"Man, I busted my hump for six months at Jiffy Lube for all this. I'm a shift manager" Oscar says.

"I swear if you be stepping out on me" Kevin cuts the woman off and says, "relax. Your homeboy already told us that you rolled through the shop with stolen plastic. So, where'd you get Sarah's card, dawg?"

"I'm telling you. I don't know no Sarah"

"Listen we don't have time for this, understand? Just come clean, now. Or we're gonna turn this place inside out and I will find a felony to shove down your throat" Sam says, then points at the woman, "you too, honey"

"Hell no. I ain't going to jail for him"

"Bitch, don't say a word" Oscar says.

"Hey, look at me. Talk to me" Sam says to the woman. The woman's gazed adjusts from Oscar to Sam and says, "Oscar broke into a car last week out in Humboldt Park and the credit card was in a purse he grabbed"

"Where?!" Sam asks.

🌙🌙🌙

Sam walks down the halls of Chicago Med with Will Halstead talking about the girls that were found, trapped in cages that Antonio, Adam, Kim and Sean found in the basement of the address Oscar had given her and Kevin.

"Ligature marks on their wrists and ankles indicate they were bound. Contusions on their legs and back. Along with vaginal tearing. These girls have been through hell" Will says, as the two stop.

"Thanks Will"

"Hey, what's going on at the district?" Will asks. Sam sighed and said, "Voights keeping a cap on"

"You know, when Jay came back, I wasn't there for him. The only friend he had was Mouse, who, believe it or not, was the one who dragged Jay home when he was going through.."

Sam furrows her eyebrows at the tall man, "through what?"

Will hesitates for a second when Roman and Burgess walk over to them, "hey"

"Hey. You guys brought them in?" Sam asks, referring to the victims.

"Yeah"

"Did you notify the parents?"

"She's saying don't bother. She hasn't spoken to either in years. But she had us call her sister" Roman says.

"Alright" Sam says, then looks at Will, "thanks again, Will"

Sam looks at Kim and says, "come with me"

Sam and Kim walked into the hospital room of one of the girls -Julia- and Sam sits on the edge of the bed and says, "listen, I know that the last thing you wanna do right now is relive any of what you've been through, but anything you can tell us is gonna help us catch this guy"

The girl takes a deep breath and says, "his name is Trevor. We met through Facebook of all things. He was older. Handsome. He sent me a bus ticket and I came to be with him"

"I know guys like Trevor. They prey on you and they know just how to make you feel special, right?" Sam says, "any details you can remember are gonna help us make sure he never does this again"

"He picked me up at the station. Took me to dinner, said he knew a great steakhouse then we went back to his place. He put something in my drink because next thing I know, he's on top of me" Julia says with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Was this girl..." Sam says, taking out her phone and showing the brunette a picture of Sarah Frazier, "was she one of the girls with you?"

"Sarah"

Sam nods her head and gives her a small smile, "thank you"

Then Sam and Kim leave the room, shutting the door behind them.

"Just got word from Voight" Roman says, catching up with Kim and Sam, "commanders getting itchy with SWAT. Frazier's not backing down"

🌙🌙🌙

Back at the district, snipers and guns still drawn on the officer door, Voight knocks on the door and says, "Frazier. Frazier, I have someone here who knows your daughter, and she wants to talk to you"

"Who?"

"Just open the door. You have my word. I'm being straight"

After a few moments of silence, Sam says, "you were right. Sarah didn't run away. She was Kidnapped. Along with this girl and at least three other girls we know of"

"Frazier, just open the door" Voight says.

Frazier opens the curtain of the door a bit to see when the girl says, "she's alive. She was"

"How am I supposed to believe..." Julia cuts Frazier off and said, "blue lake. She told me about blue lake"

Frazier slowly opens the door with the gun still pointed at Mouse's head, while he listens to Julia say, "she said there was a cabin there that her family would go to, right? They couldn't break her"

"What did they do?" Frazier asked, his voice breaking.

"And I feel bad because sometimes I would just tell her to do what they wanted so they wouldn't hurt her, but she wouldn't do it" Julia says, crying.

"She's alive?"

"We think so. We're close" Voight tells Frazier.

"If you found her. Why didn't you find Sarah?" Frazier questions.

"We're following leads. It's like peeling an onion. We're close"

Suddenly Mouse frees himself from Frazier's grip, and points his gun at him. SWAT and Jay immediately go in and cuff Frazier while Sam and Voight push Julia back.

Back on the unit, the intelligence team is gathered around the whiteboard.

"Three girls found in Humboldt Park were all lured to Chicago via this romeos Facebook page " Dawson says, taping a picture onto the whiteboard, "Trevor Dunn, sometimes Crowhill or Donnelly. The accounts go dark once the girls disappear, but we pulled his photo from Julia's cloud storage"

Kevin hangs up his desk phone and says, "no hits off NCIC or the DMV"

Erin also hangs up her desk phone and says,"Sergeant Benson in New York says that Trevor is likely using these videos he shot as selling material to pimps that are looking for 'girl next door' type for their organizations"

"Yeah, I took the photo we got from Julia and ran a reverse image search on it. Found an online dating profile using the same pic, so I accessed it" Adam says and the team looks at him, "what? Alright I had the tech lab at organized crime do it"

Sam rolls her eyes at her friend.

"Anyways, I'm scrolling through his messages right now" Ruzek says, looking over his computer, "looks like he's picking up another girl, Lacy Collins, bought her a bus ticket. She gets into downtown on the 946 from St. Paul"

"Lets hit it, except Sam" Voight says and Sam sighs.

~~~

Sam is in the bathroom, when she hears someone call out her name.

"Sam?"

"Yeah, I'm here. Just peeing for like the 100th time today" Sam says, flushing the toilet, then leaves the stall to wash her hands, "Hey Kim. What's up?"

"I can talk to you about anything right?"

"Of course" Sam says, drying her hands off.

"I need to talk about Adam"

"What'd he do now?"

"I'm nervous about the whole marriage thing, you know with his past fiancée's and all and I love him I do, I just...I don't know"

"How many fiancés did he have before you?" Sam asks, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Two"

"Oh sweet lord. Look, Kim, he loves you, I know he does. You two will work out in the end. Everything will be okay" Sam says, pulling her friend into a hug, "I'll talk to him too if you want"

"Sure, thanks Sam"

"Anytime" Sam says, leaving the bathroom when she gets a text from Justin that reads;

'Can't wait to see you tonight. We've waited so long and it's finally happening'

'I know. I can't wait either' Sam texted back.

~~~

Back on the unit, after the team caught Trevor Dunn, everyone is gathered around Sam and Jays desk when Voight and Dawson walk onto the unit from the basement.

"Steven Ultich. Priors for distribution. Agg assault" Hank says, showing the team his picture, "been linked to a few missing girls"

"Now Vice likes him for involuntary servitude and sex trafficking" Antonio says, putting papers down on Jays desk of Ulrichs rap sheet, so everyone can take a look, "he holds on to the girls until they're worn out, then trades them to networks across the country"

"Trevor says Ulrich is operating a brothel out of a club in Bridgeport" Voight says, when he's cut off by Trudy, who says. "Hank"

"Yeah"

"I got a states attorney downstairs who says he needs to talk to you right now"

Hank looks at Dawson who says, "we got it. Gear up and Sam stays here"

Sam heard Antonio say this and she sighs.

~~~

Commander Fischer walks into the unit as Voight leaves his office, with Sam in suit.

"We got the girl. We just need the father. She has a gun, looking like she wants to end it. You have my word, this situation will be contained the whole time"

"Alright" Fischer says.

Voight and Sam leave the unit and grab their vests, while on their way to the cells of the district to get Frazier.

"You want to see your daughter?" Voight asks. Frazier sits up and asks, "she's alive?"

"Yeah, but we gotta move" Voight says, unlocking the cell, "turn around"

Frazier turns around so Voight can cuff him, "lets go"

🌙🌙🌙

Sam and Hank hurry to get Frazier to the L train to see his daughter, who Erin is trying to talk to.

Once Hank takes the cuffs off Frazier, he walks onto the train and pulls his daughter into a hug.

"Give him a minute?" Al asks. Hank turns around and says, "yeah, maybe a couple"

Jay pulls Sam into a hug and kisses the top of her head.

🌙🌙🌙

While Sam is getting changed to have dinner with Hank and Justin, Jay leans on the door frame and admires his beautiful girlfriend.

"You're okay with this right?" Sam asks, turning around. Jay smiles and walks closer to Sam, cupping her face with his warm hands and says, "of course. I want you to be happy and you're about to find out where your son lives and you deserve it"

Sam takes a deep breath and kisses Jay, "thank you. I love you so much"

"I love you too gorgeous"

🌙🌙🌙

Sam is at Hank's house with Hank, waiting for Justin when he finally walks down the stairs.

"Sorry, I had to look good for my baby mama over here" Justin says, smiling and pulling Sam into a hug and kisses her forehead.

"J, stop it. You're making me blush" Sam smiles.

"Now, when we finish eating, I'll give you guys the address and we'll go from there" Hank says, "and take care of him you two, you missed out on 14 years"

"Of course, pops" Justin says. Sam smiles and says, "Always Hank"

"Alright let's go" Voight says, as the three leave the house and head towards Voight's car.

Justin places his hand in Sam's lower back guiding her across the street and starts to open the passenger side door for her, waiting for Hank to unlock the car when he hears a buzzing noise.

Hank knowing exactly what the buzzing noise is yells, "get down!"

Hank, Justin and Sam start to move out of the way right as the the car bomb goes off.
