Chapter 66

While Adam and Hank were dealing with Yates in the cage, Kim snuck away to make a phone call. She scrolled through her contacts to Olivia's name and pressed send.

Olivia was typing up a case report when her phone lit up. "I wonder who that could be." She picked it up and answered. "Sergeant Benson."

"Yeah hi Liv, it's me."

"Kim?"

"Yep."

"Is there a problem? Do you need me out there?"

"No, no problem. I do need you out here though."

"For what?"

"I promise I'll tell you when you get here."

"How soon do you need me out there?"

"Next flight would be great."

"Why so soon?"

"It's a secret."

"Okay, I'll see you later tonight."

"You're the best. Bye."

Olivia hung up the phone and shut her laptop.

"Who was that, Liv?" Nick asked, standing in her office doorway.

"That was Detective Ruzek in Chicago. I guess I'm needed out there. Can you and Fin hold down the fort until I get back?"

"Yeah of course. Did they say why you needed to go out there?"

"Not really, I was just told they needed me out there. If I'm called out there, it must be something important."

Back in Chicago, Erin offered to take Kim and Gabby out for lunch. While Erin was at the counter ordering, Kim leaned closer to Gabby.

"I got a secret."

"About?"

"Erin's mother."

"You know the police sergeant in Manhattan?"

"Yeah I know her. What are you saying?"

"She's Erin's mother."

"What about her father?"

"Hank is her father. You know all those years you had a theory about it? It turned out to be true."

"How did you find that out?"

"Long story."

"I got time."

"That's not the secret I wanted to tell you."

"What's the secret?"

"Tell Erin and I'll kill you."

Gabby laughed. "I won't tell her."

"Olivia's coming to Chicago."

"WHAT?"

"No one is supposed to know."

"Why is she coming out?"

"I'm arranging for her and Erin to meet."

"Erin would never go for that."

"Say one word to anyone about this, I'll sleep with Matt."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Try me."

They both laughed.

"No but seriously, don't say one word."

"I won't. What about you?"

"Did you think I was really going to tell Hank his is coming to town?"

"Why should that matter to him?"

"They haven't seen each other since their academy days. He'd blow his top if he knew she was coming out here."

"He's going to be stunned, that's for sure."

"That's why I'm not saying one word to him."

"When will she be out here?"

"Later tonight. Keep quiet to everyone back at the firehouse."

"I'm not going to say anything unless you tell me."

"Good."

After lunch, Kim and Gabby made their way to the hospital while Erin went back to work. Hannah was in her own room when they got there.

"Mommy, they said they have to do a kit on me. What does that mean?" She asked when Kim came into the room.

"They have to take pictures and examine where he hurt you."

"No! I won't let them!"

"They have to."

"NO!"

"If you won't let them do that, they can't put him in jail."

"They can just put him in jail without doing anything to me. They can leave me alone."

"The can't do anything to him without getting evidence."

"don't want them to."

"Mommy will be in the room with you the whole time. Okay? Please promise me you will be a good girl."

"No mommy! They'll hurt me!"

"They're doctors, they won't hurt you."

"You said they have to examine me. That means I have to take my clothes off."

"It does mean that, but they're only trying to help you."

"No!"

Kim got into the bed and pulled Hannah close to her. "It's the only way they can make sure it's him."

"Daddy says people aren't supposed to see me without clothes. He says that's inappropriate."

"When it comes to doctors, it's okay."

"I don't wanna."

"Mommy will be with you the whole time."

"I'm scared." She started crying and buried her face in Kim's chest.

"I know baby girl, I know."

"Can I have a girl doctor do it?"

"Who do you want?"

"Natalie."

"I don't think she's working today, sweetie."

"I want her to do it! I don't want anyone else to!"

"Hold on. Stay right here." Kim lifted up the blinds and saw Will out by the desk. "Hey Halstead, get your behind over here."

"Yes?"

"Is Natalie working today?"

"No, she has the day off."

"Can I put in a request?"

"Does it have to do with her?"

"Yeah."

He went into Hannah's room so they could talk more privately.

"What about her?"

"You know what happened to my daughter, right?"

"I heard, it's awful."

"She's refusing to let anyone else examine her and she needs it done."

"Let me make some calls. For Hannah, I'm sure she'd be willing to come in. Give me like a half hour?"

"Of course."

"I will try my best. I can't promise anything though."

"You better hurry."

A half hour past. Natalie, alongside Adam came zipping through the revolving doors.

"What are you doing here on your day off?" Alec asked.

"It was a special request. I was more than willing to come in for it."

Will pointed to Hannah's room. They both went walking in, her over to the counter and him by the bed.

"Daddy!" She hugged him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be here sooner."

"Where is the bad man?"

"He's in the cage."

"Did you and grandpa Hank beat him up?"

"Yeah."

"I hope someone hurts him the way he hurt me."

"He won't last long in prison. Especially if what he did becomes known."

"ADAM." Kim glared at him.

"I didn't say what would be done to him. I'm just trying to help our daughter not be afraid."

He was asked to leave the room during the exam. Natalie sent the results to the lab and asked if she could speak to Kim alone.

"What did you find?"

"Tissue damage, tearing, bruising..."

"Oh god."

"We found semen and other fluids, but it should be enough evidence."

"I don't know what he thinks this will get him. They're little girls..."

"People like him shouldn't live to see another day."

"Can you do a favor for me?"

"What is it?"

"Bring Hannah home. Adam and I have some...loose ends to tie up."

"What-...OH! Yeah I can bring her home."

"Thanks."

She walked out into the hallway and found Adam.

"What did the doctor say?"

"I really don't want to discuss that. I'm already sick to my stomach from hearing it."

"Where are you going?"

"You need be asking where we are both going, because you need to follow me."

"Alright, where are WE going?"

"We're going to show Yates how we handle people like him."

"You don't mean-"

"In this case, it's acceptable. Come on."

Antonio was in the basement straightening things up when they came in.

"Hey guys."

"Got any chains?" Kim asked.

"What do you need chains for?"

"Remember when you beat Ernesto with chains wrapped around your hands?"

"He got what was coming to him."

"I think Yates needs a taste of that."

"I was going to say the same thing." He opened a door in the weapon supply room, picking up the chains and handing them to her. "Try not to kill him."

"No promises."

Antonio went back inside. Adam unlocked the cage and threw him out.

"You already beat me up, what more do you want?!"

"I didn't say you could talk!" Kim threw him against the cage, tying his hands.

"You need to work on your tone."

"I'm not the one who goes around raping little girls!"

She wound the chains around her wrist. He glared at her.

"What do you expect to do with those?"

"I'll show you."

Once they were secured, she full force punched him in the chest. He let out a yelp of pain.

"Are you gonna stop her?!"

"Nah, I'm gonna let her do this."

"Why?!"

"I don't answer to pedophiles."

"I'm gonna ask you again, WHY did you do it?"

"The younger, the better and lesser experienced."

"Hey Kim, mind if I tack a whack at it?"

"Not at all, here you go." She passed the chains off to him.

"Haven't I suffered enough?"

"Why don't you ask those poor little girls you touched that question?!" He thrusted his fist right into Yates' chest and dug it in a bit.

"Stop!"

"I'll stop when I feel like it!"

"Stop!"

"You hurt my child and my nieces. I don't want you around to hurt them."

Once they were through with him, he was lying on the floor. He had a few cracked ribs and maybe even a damaged lung.

"You two know how illegal this is?"

"Do you think we care?"

"You should, you're cops."

"Adam, do we care?"

"Nope."

"I'll have both your badges for this."

"You can't get to us when you're rotting in a jail cell on death row."

"I'm not gonna get death row for raping three little girls."

"Don't be so sure of yourself."

"I'm reporting you and your husband."

"Good luck with that one."

Hank drove up and got out of his car. "Anyone care to explain the occurrence here?"

"We beat Yates."

"Oh, okay. Cool. I'll be upstairs if you need me."

"You can't let them get away with this!" Yates said.

"They work for me."

"Let me get this straight, you let your unit do illegal things?"

"If you don't like that, then you can get the hell out of my city."

"Do you know how bad that makes you look?"

"I don't care. Get out of my sight."

"I'll have all of you arrested!"

"Are you asking to be punched with chains again?"

"Let me go."

"No."
