CHAPTER FIVE
ride along






















Sam opens a letter that was addressed to her and Jay. As she's reading it, her eyes grow wide and a smile forms onto her face and says, "Oh, my god"

"What's up?" Jay asks, as he walks into the kitchen. Sam looks over at her husband and hands him the letter. After Jay finishes reading it he looks over at Sam, with shock written all over his face and says, "No way"

"Yeah, it's about time too. It's been 4 years"

Jay takes out his ringing phone and says, "That's Hailey, says we got a shooting"

"Awesome" Sam smiles, then looks up at her husband who is eyeing her, "I mean, not awesome for the shooting, just-" Jay cuts her off and says. "I know"

Out of instinct Sam kisses her husband on the lips, then walks away to go get her gun and badge. Jay stands there stunned for a second then smiles, following after his wife.

Adam and Sam follow a detective into the backdoor of the house where the shooting occurred and the man says, "Two offenders broke in through the back door. They entered the dining room, started opening drawers" as Sam and Adam put on their latex gloves.

"Homeowner comes in, surprised them?" Adam says, as they walk into the dining room where one of the bodies were.

"Yeah. He took two to the chest. Name's John McCafferty" Detective Cullen says, as they walk into the living room to see the second body, "Looks like the third shot missed, went through the window"

Sam points to the bullet hole in the glass window and asks, "And that's the one that hit the pedestrian?"

"Yeah. Bad time for a walk. McCafferty fires back, clips offender one. Meet Clay Young"

"Do we know what happened to the second offender?" Ruzek asks.

"He hightails it through a side door, engages with officer Burgess"

"Okay. Anything else?" Sam asks.

"Talked to Robbery. They think this is the same crew that's been hitting the Gold Coast the past few weeks"

"Yeah, I figured. Alright thanks Cullen. Hey, uh, what about the wife?"

As Sam and Adam leave the house Adam asks "What's got you so smiley today?"

"The adoption for Denise finally came through" Sam smiles.

"Seriously?" Adam asks, pulling his friend into a hug, "That's great. How'd she take it?"

"We haven't told her yet. She was already on her way to school when I opened the letter, but we've been waiting 4 years for this Adam and it's finally happening"

"Well, I'm happy for you" he says as they walk over to their Sergeant, Jay, Hailey and Brayden, "Alright, so we got two DOA's inside. The homeowner, John McCafferty, and one of the bad guys, a uh, Clay Young, male, white, 37. He's got a long sheet, Burglary. Meth distro. No gang ties, though"

"Wife said her husband had a gun, and he's the one that opened fire on this Clay Young guy" Sam says.

"And during the shootout, a bullet came through the window and hit the civilian here" Porter says, pointing near where they stand on the sidewalk.

"Wife get a look at the offender?" Hank asks.

"She caught a glimpse, but she ducked into the bathroom when the bullets started flying. She said white male, tall, gray hoodie" Jay says.

"Same guy that opened up on Kim. I have two witnesses that saw a big guy with a gray hoodie run out of the house, shooting at a police officer" Hailey says.

"Alright, chase Clay Young's knowns, dump his phone. Talk to neighbor's check all nearby POD's" Hank says, as the team departs ways.

"So, we recovered a laptop in Clay Young's apartment that traces back to a Gold Coast robbery from two weeks ago" Jay says, going over to sit on the edge of his desk.

"Well, that's good, but Young's dead. Do we have anything on the second offender?" Hank asks.

"Nothing so far" Sam says.

"Nah we got a name" Adam says, as he and Hailey walk onto the bullpen, taping a picture onto the board, "This is, uh, Trent Stow. Techs found his fingerprints all over the mustang"

"Record?" Hank asks.

"Long and impressive. He's a repeat violent offender, this guy"

"Two armed robberies, three narcotics charges. Looks like he's into meth, coke and heroin" Hailey states.

"Alright, that makes sense, cause the M.E said they found high doses of meth in Young's system" Brayden says.

"Alright. So we've got two hopped up junkies robbing to support their habit. Besides drugs, we find a nexus between Stow and Young?" Hank says.

"Yeah. They were both busted 10 years ago for a robbery when they were in college at CCU" Hailey says, then points to Trent Stow's picture, "Stow actually played quarterback for a season"

"He was a pro prospect until he beat a kid into a coma at a bar. The judge was an alum, so he got off on probabtion" Adam says.

"He's been busted a few times for robberies, never convicted. This kid's been getting a free pass his entire life"

"Hey Kim, you recognize this guy" Hank asks, turning to look at the officer. Kim shakes her head and says, "No. All I saw was a hoodie"
