Everyone had gathered at Kim and Adam's house, everyone on edge.
Bob watched as Hank took a phone call, he stepped outside. Bob followed him, a few paces back.
Hank paced, "nothing at all?" He was at a loss, the truck had been dusted and the only prints on it belonged to Adam and Kim and various other family members, "call me if something turns up"
"That's it Voight?" Bob questioned him, he got in his face, "just call me if something turns up? My boy has put his life on the line for years in your unit and that's all you can do" his voice carrying.
"Aunt Kim, Adam's dad is going after Voight" Trey told his aunt watching the scene unfold from the kitchen window.
"Shit! Kevin!" Kim yelled as she took of running outside, "Bob, let him go" she pulled at his arms.
"Mr.Ruzek, let him go" Kevin finally separated the two men.
Hank adjusted his shirt, "Bob, I'm doing all I can. I love that kid, he's family" he walked off, he hated feeling helpless.
Bob held his arms up, "I'm sorry, alright" he sat down, "we need to find my son and Declan"
"Let him go" Adam pleaded with them, he was tired of watching them beat Declan in front of him, "I'm worth more than he is, please he's just a kid" he had tried to break free of the restraints which only resulted in another beating and them taping his arms again.
"Why should I?" Johnny asked him, "I kind of enjoy watching your reaction every time we hit him, you squirm and your whole face contorts. It's pretty wild" he smirked.
"You're a fucking psycho" Adam spit, "you do realize half the CPD is looking for me, right?"
Johnny laughed, "that's part of the thrill, knowing they could bust down that door any minute. Which is quite the adrenaline rush you know, but alas they won't find us" he explained, "they may find our first location, but not this one"
Declan lifted his head, "it hurts" he mumbled, Johnny hitting him again.
"I swear to god" Adam started to say.
"What are you gonna do?" Johnny got in his face, "empty threats" he whispered, "let's go get some air fellas" he told his men, "sit tight, we will be back" he laughed on his way out.
Adam was able to move his chair closer to Declan, "you okay?" He wished he could touch him, "Declan?"
"I'm okay, I guess" his head dripping blood, "Uncle Adam everything hurts"
Adam checked the restraints on Declan's arms, "you think you can get out of those?" He asked, they weren't nearly as tight as Adam's, "there is a knife on that table, if you can get free and bring me the knife we can try and get out of here"
Declan fought against the restraints and just as Adam expected his arms broke free, "Quick get that knife and cut the tape off my arms, but you gotta move fast"
He raced to the table and grabbed the knife, he started cutting.
"Declan, push it harder" his nephew not using nearly enough pressure.
"I don't want to cut you" Declan told him.
"Don't worry, just cut it"
He had one arm free when they heard the lock being turned, "give me the knife and get back in your chair. When I tell you to get out of here you need to run as fast as you can and don't stop until you're safe"
"What about you?"
Adam shrugged, "I'll be fine, just make sure you tell your Aunt Kim I love her, okay"
"Uncle Adam, I don't want to leave you" Declan was near tears, "it's all my fault you're here"
"I don't care, promise me you'll go"
He relented, "alright, I will"
"Kim, what can I do for you?" Elizabeth asked her, "have you eaten?"
Kim glanced up at her mother, "I'm not hungry, mother" she said softly, "can you make sure the kids are okay? Harper is oblivious but I'm worried about Anthony"
Elizabeth draped her arm over Kim's shoulder, "Anthony is okay, he's playing with Derek and Harper is with Adam's step mother" she handed Kim a tissue, "he's going to be okay"
Hank hung the phone up, "Let's go!" He told them, "we've got a location to search" they had found and old warehouse near where Adam's truck was found and it was obvious someone had been inside it.
Kim watched as the house emptied, Sean stopping on his way out, "Listen, we are going to find them, and we will bring them home" he hugged her, "I love you you know"
Kim offered a small smile, "I love you too, please find my husband and nephew"
Anthony watched out the window as they all sped off, "are they gonna find daddy?" His eyes filled with tears, "I miss daddy"
Declan felt like his chest was on fire, he had been running for what seemed like hours, he kept looking over his shoulder hoping to see his uncle.
He had no idea where he was, he didn't want to stop until he was somewhere safe and he didn't think he would ever feel safe again.
He almost cried when he turned right at an intersection and found the 57th District, he flew up the steps.
"Help me! I need help" he yelled before passing out.
Helen's cell phone rang, "Mrs.Burgess?" An unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes? Who is this?" She asked the caller, everyone else growing silent.
"This is Detective Andrew Schneider, your son has been sent to Chicago Med" he told her, "he collapsed in our district"
She stood up, "what?"
"I work out of the 57th and he came running through our doors screaming for help and collapsed a few seconds later" he explained, "he's been roughed up pretty good"
Helen grabbed Kim's hand, "What about Adam? Where is Adam?"
"I wish I knew, it was just your son. We are canvassing the area, we aren't giving up. You need to get to the hospital"
"Thank you" Helen hung up the phone, "Declan turned up at the 57th district, and he's been taken to Chicago Med" she was relieved, "they're looking for Adam"
Trey grabbed his keys, "let's go Mom, I will drive"
Amy and Annie went to Kim's side, "Are you okay?" Annie asked, Kim's face having lost any hint of color.
She frowned, "where is Adam?"
"Declan Burgess?" Helen told the receptionist, "he was brought in by ambulance"
"Right, yes" she told her, buzzing the door open, "he's in cubicle 7, you can go on back"
"Thank you" she told her holding on to Trey's arm, "let's find your brother"
Hank watched the video, "Son of a bitch!" He yelled as they watched the video of Adam and Declan being beaten, "they wanted us to find this footage" he yelled, "I want this place searched from top to bottom" he yelled, "we are gonna find the son of bitch"
Jay came running in from outside, "I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine from the 57th, Declan found his way into their district, he passed out on their floor. They sent him to Chicago med but I'm willing to bet Adam isn't far from the 57th"
Hank sent a text, "Patrol is gonna sit on this until forensics gets here, we're going to the 57th"
"Mrs.Burgess, he's okay. We're are just getting x-rays and he will be admitted, it's just precautionary" the doctor explained, "he's been through a lot"
Helen could feel the weight lift off her shoulders, "has he said anything?"
The doctor looked at his feet, "He kept apologizing to his Uncle Adam" he said softly, " he just kept saying 'I'm sorry Uncle Adam', he's pretty upset about it all"
"Thank you"
"No problem, he should be back soon"
Trey sat in the chair, "What the hell was he thinking Mom?" He pounded his fist on the wall, "I swear if Uncle Adam is dead I will never forgive him" he yelled.
"Shut up Trey, don't talk like that" Helen yelled, "we have to pull together, Declan needs us right now" she didn't even want to think that Adam could be dead.
They wheeled Declan back in the room, he was sitting up "Mom, I'm sorry!" He cried, "where is Uncle Adam, have they found him?"
Helen grabbed his hand, "I was so scared, baby. I love you" she caressed his cheek, "are you alright?"
"Yea, I'm fine, did they find Uncle Adam?"
"No, they didn't" Trey told him, "you fucked up Declan, you better hope Uncle Adam is alive" he left the room.
Declan began to cry, "I'm so sorry Mom, I didn't mean for any of this to happen" he explained.
A police officer entered the room "Declan Burgess, you're under arrest"
