Hermann: "We were scheduled to open our bar after next shift. And in light of what happened, we were gonna push it. But...me and Dawson and Otis...we talked about it, and instead, we're gonna make it a celebration of Troy's life. All the proceeds for tonight will be donated in his name to Children's Memorial. Thanks." he nods, taking a seat as Boden moves to the front

Boden: "Not an easy day. Not for any of us. Lieutenant Casey is meeting with detectives from CPD. Arson investigators are at the clinic right now. All we can do for Ryan is be there the best we can."

Matt: "Hey. Lieutenant Casey. I'm here to see Detective Acosta or Detective Dawson."

Sarge: "We got a fireman in the house. Look at him, well-rested and fed. Must be nice being a fireman, washing fire trucks-"

Genevieve: "Sarge, Sarge" she moves over, cutting him off "The DOA from the clinic fire...Lieutenant Casey's wife was his best friend."

Sarge: "Ah. That's my bad."

Genevieve: "Come on, Matt. I'll take upstairs."

Matt: "All right, yeah."

Genevieve: "How's Ryan doing?"

Matt: "Physically she's okay. No more complications from the fire. Mentally and emotionally..." he sighs, running a hand down his neck "Well, you know how close those two were."

Genevieve: "Best friends since...5th grade right?"

Matt: "3rd."

Genevieve: "Yeah." she breathes, entering a room where Voight and Antonio are standing

Antonio: "I'm so sorry, man."

Matt: "Thanks. So where are we at?"

Voight: "I just got off the phone-"

Matt: "I don't deal with you. I deal with Genevieve or Antonio." he declares, Voight motioning for Antonio to continue

Antonio: "M.E. report came in. Troy was struck in the back of the head and killed before the fire started." he informs as Matt's eyes widen, looking between all of them

Officer: "Units in 21, foot man on Taylor Street. Just confirmed sighting of your silver Magnum. 1400 block of West Taylor."

Genevieve: "That's the car that fled the clinic fire."

Officer: "This is 2121. Silver Magnum's been located going east on Taylor. Blocked on racine. They bailed out! We're in pursuit."

Antonio: "What do we got?"

Officer: "A couple oxy heads and a handful of priors for armed robbery, mostly around UIC. They're saying they knew the car was hot, but they bought it from a black male for 500 and we're gonna use it for a couple days to do some stickups and then dump it" she informs as Genevieve looks at where one of the men are groaning in their spot with bruises on his face "He resisted."

Man: "She kicked me in the balls."

Genevieve: "Hmm." she hums, giving her an impressed look

Barnes: "They're denying any involvement in the clinic. There's no arson or bodily harm on either of their records."

Antonio: "Who's the brains of the outfit?"

Barnes: "That guy."

Antonio: "Bring him over here. Who'd you buy the car from?"

Man 2: "Black dude named "Shorty."

Voight: "Oh. Shorty."

Genevieve: "Hmm. That's helpful."
