hi this is really out of the blue andr andom but i was wondering if u had any hcs or js random thoughts about best friends older brother!sukuna? i would love to hear them but if u dont want to or anything just ignore this ask! ily ur writing is soo good!

hello my love 💌

DO I??? (yes, I do. he lives rent free in my head)

sukuna was a basketball player when they were in high school together. he easily made varsity when he was a freshman (which kind of explains why he was friends with juniors and seniors when he was a freshman) and was basically the star point guard

for senior night type games or championships, y/n and yuuji had to attend with their families and sukuna would feel some type of way about the fact that y/n had the teams colors smeared in glitter on her cheeks (and obv wore his number with the rest of his family)

y/n did yearbook. this meant that she was always at those high publicity type of events taking pictures - fun fact, she was actually at the senior prom that sukuna went to as a sophomore (and she took no pictures of sukuna + didn't talk to him while she was there)

sukuna hates matcha. he has to stomach it though because y/n can never finish her drink and he doesn't want it to go to waste (he would rather die than admit that after the third or fourth time it's starting to grow on him)

sukuna used to ride a motorcycle when he was studying abroad in europe/france.

when sukuna gets a motorcycle in tokyo, y/n gets a baby pink helmet and decorates it with ribbons to match. sukuna also buys her a nice quality leather jacket.

y/n is majoring in vet med! (sukuna hates cats but she will convince him one day to get one as a pet. he will then treat said cat like it's his child even though he didn't even want it in the first place)

sukuna's lockscreen is of y/n smiling at the camera! her's is of him wearing the skincare headband that she uses to hold her hair (he is glaring at the camera)

y/n and sukuna have a shared playlist - he listens to it while he's at work and she listens to it when she's walking to class. y/n likes to listen to olivia rodrigo/lana del ray/boygenius/clairo/girl in red and sukuna listens to a lot of old school rap (y/ns favorite ends up being old school drake)

y/n tells sukuna that her favorite song on the playlist is best I ever had and sukuna really loves there's a tunnel under ocean blvd.

besides y/ns ribbon on sukuna's car key and the lock screen, he also has a picture of her in his wallet (of her fast asleep in his bed)

mrs. itadori always used to joke that y/n would end up with her son and gave up the joke once it was kind of obvious that yuuji was gay (but her dream still comes true <3)

weirdly enough, megumi is a sukuna apologist. yuuji obv doesn't hate sukuna that much, there's a lingering love there, and megumi tries to coax him to let some of that stuff go.

y/n is not yet aware that her roommate mai is the sister of nobara's sneaky link. when they find out, it's ww3.

gojo and geto are way too involved in sukuna and y/ns relationship. they try to stalk both of their socials to get any more content and every time sukuna brings her up satoru makes his best efforts to not squeal.

sukuna is the closest to geto out of all of his coworkers.

#asks!#bsfs older brother sukuna!

Spelldon cat is immortal ( will live forever but not immune to illness) and kinda… dumb.

So when spell brings his cat into the vets office after confirming he can. he finds out the cat needs meds. which are, in fact, pills. The cat refuses to take them and Spells starts to lose hope

Until Kieran says I got it.

He does some dumb shit to make this cat get their meds, he turns into a ballerina, confusing the cat with random ass movements till he's close enough to the cat and shoves the pill in its mouth and holds it closed.

Spelldons advice: MARRY A VET, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING.

Marone!

Sexuality Headcanon: either straight or like. she just Generally has a type (soft, sweet, poor little meow meow -) and therefore does not care about the gender of her partner.

A ship I have with said character: REGIN SUWEN/MARONE FOR THE WIN. i just think they make sense together!!! their personalities mesh really well.... marone is all headstrong and regins more passive yes but theyre also both very earnest sweet people and they balance each other perfectly <3 i also love how marones become regin's vet assistant (her love of animals too T^T her growing fond of ground dragons more after being saved by frufoo...)!! and the tsuchigumo (this little spider-looking spirit iirc from one of the otto related side stories, for those who dont know) is BASICALLY THEIR CHILD NOW.... i love their little family i hope marone and regin get happily married <33

A BROTP I have with said character: OTTO AND MARONE OF COURSE. bad luck buddies who get really headstrong <33 aaa just theyre very sweet!! and similarly to regin, otto is also. More Submissive, in a sense. so of course otto and marone balance each other nicely - and i just think marone's "number two" nickname for otto IS SO SWEET ITS SO. URHGHG I FEEL LIKE IM INHALING SUGAR FROM HOW SWEET IT IS. it makes my little heart melt T^TT and i love the backstory of their little chance encounter where they escape from the bandits trying to sell them into slavery, and then the fact that marone doesnt want to go too far from her hometown so she can find otto again!!! aaa T^TT love them. i also just really like how much otto/regins designs look alongside marone!!! her red hair vs their calmer colors and ottos green is so <333

A NOTP I have with said character: i dont really have any that im very Insistent on.... ig like otto/marone (romantic)? bc they WOULD NEVER.... otto knows his brother is head over heels for her and otto and marone give me sibling energy. they're future siblings in law anyway!!!!!

A random headcanon: MARONE. MAYBE GETS REGIN TO QUIT SMOKING. I DONT KNOW IF FANTASY WORLD CIGARETTES HAVE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES BUT LIKE. MY DUDE YOU ARE A DOCTOR. HAH. regin and otto out here with smoking and drinking respectively as their vices.... they need anxiety meds or something i swear.

additionally.... in pride and wrath if of course, otto becomes a debt slave. i like to think that marone becomes interested in the idea of saving other people from slavery / almost slavery like what otto did for her...... we know that otto saved her months before the start of like. arc 1 i think?? so its like. that event still happened in pride and wrath if. and we know that otto eventually dies in pride if.... im sure the suwens found out about his death somehow, especially if hes just not talked to them for a While... maybe marone could help find out what happened to otto? because im sure it is Worrying when the person in the family with notoriously bad luck has been Completely Silent for a little too long. i doubt pride/wrath otto would contact any of them - he wouldnt want them getting involved. but marone seems like the type that would get involved!!! i think shes smarter than she looks!!!!

General Opinion over said character:

SHE IS SO SWEET. I ADORE HER. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'D GIVE GREAT HUGS... I LOVE HER PASSION... i wish the best for her <3 and i think she should get to go insane. shes like... she seems all happy go lucky but her backstory of like :( being sold to bandits as slaves because the people in her town had to give some women over so the city wouldnt get attacked... and then she was there for a while and got saved by otto T^TT and then tsuchigumo stuff happens and she literally just goes "let me tell you about my (totally not tragic) anime backstory to lighten the mood!! :DDD" and then EVERYONE thinks shes bad luck after that.... poor girl :(( but also she is SO STRONG for still being so determined and passionate!! like she KNOWS otto saying he killed bandits on accident is complete and total bullshit. she knows he gave her his own money and not "bounty money". AND THEN SHE LITERALLY SAYS THAT SHES TIRED OF HIDING AWAY AND WAITING AROUND AND TAKING THE WEIGHT OF CRIMES SHE DIDNT COMMIT AND HOW "That frail lady logic isnt my thing at all!" shes so. there may not be too much to her because shes like. a Pretty Minor character. but whats there is so good with the small amount of screentime she has. she eats up every scene shes in. her like Surprising sharpness with how shes fed up with Bullshit (ottos bullshit... and going out to go and do something about the tsuchigumo situation...) is such a neat contrast to her softness too (and makes her a great character to balance out, say, regin or otto)!! shes so cool. i admire her always.

#ask #oh if i dont include a gender hc it just means i dont have any for that character :o !!#rezero #ty for the ask!! :DD #marone lisbon #<<THERE I REMEMBERED HER LAST NAME #if anyones reading this and u dont know who marone is. now u know. shes beautiful. admire her pls.

heya! I saw your matchup post and really wanted to do it! so if you want to-

so, I'm average height, only 5'5, with long brown hair and blue-green eyes. I'm country. like really country. my hobbies are my cattle, my art music, and reading. I'm going to school to be a livestock vet right now.(specifically cattle, pigs, and sheep.) I'm pretty reserved unless you know me. I have sensory issues that come from my autism, and the ways I cope are surrounded by art. i would love to paint with my partner, or dance around with them, or even just be near them and read poetry to each other.

Christmas is a big deal to me. not in the way of gifts, but just quality time. that's actually my love language! that and gift giving. i give the people I love tiny trinkets that I make.

(I've never done this before! sorry if anything's wrong!)

TIM DRAKE

a vet's med school is a lot harder than a human's med school, considering the fact that an animal can't tell you what's wrong and there's all sorts of animals you have to learn, so that's a sign of intelligence at first. and i have a feeling tim would want to be with someone who has a large amount of intelligence

gift giving for your love language is SO cute. tim would probably combat this with quality time - he just doesn't seem like a touchy person but he would adore christmas too

he would adore it because it perfectly matches your personalities - he loves sitting together and listening to christmas songs and dancing to christmas songs and would adore any present you got him

he would just drop random knowledge about cattle to you when visiting

he is not by any means artistic, but appreciates your art

he'd be a little dorky and try to speak to your cattle. oink at the pigs, moo at the cows, that sort of thing

also, tim is the most knowledgeable about things. like dick is the most understanding but tim is the most knowledgeable on how to deal with sensory issues. he'd know from past quirks of yours what to do to comfort you, to make you feel more safe and less stressed and whento know you're experiencing these sensory issues

fanfiction can be so educational

Every time I join a fandom I end up learning something so interesting. It can be a minor fact like 'rats getting tumors is common' (stony vet au) or something so helpful it ends up helping me in the future during a real-life situation or exam. People will often ask where I learned it and I can never tell them I read cute fanfics and did some research. Shoutout to fanfic writers who hyper fixate on random topics and have the characters explore said topics. It's so interesting and I appreciate your research and rambles cause you can tell it's something they enjoy and that just makes you want to find out more. Another shoutout to writers who happen to be med students/ lawyers or smth else. You guys make me seem so smart when in reality I just wanna know more about Stede or Adoras profession in the fanfic and a random little detail sent me down a blackhole which leads to reading about multiple studies or smth

#im reading a skiing fic rn #very educational #very dangerous cause I feel like I can ski now #Ive never skiied in my life.#hyperfixation #fanfic #fanfiction #fanfic writing #fanfic authors #this was inspired by knowledge on lawyers after reading a lumity fic #i promise i do additional research and fact check #but usually the fic is very accurate #our flag means death #yesterday I learned abt tiling because of a gentlebeard fic #ed worked on home renovations #i always looked forward to new fandoms because of this

🌸 If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. 🌸

i am not interesting enough for this meme lmfao. i struggled so hard with the last one sent to me to get all 3 lol

my first language was actually spanish but my mother kept me from that side of my family for a long time and i lost the ability to speak it. i can say a few things and understand some but i've always struggled to relearn it.

my favorite disney princess as always been ariel. use to be obsessed with mermaids since i saw that movie. my second favorite was all dogs go to heaven. rewatching that movie as an adult in vet med makes me cry so hard.

my favorite song at the moment is wait for you by elliott yamin. i know it's a older son but i found it again and i've hyper-fixated on it.

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT VET MED STUFF!!!!!!! hit me w ur best random facts!!!! talk about whatever you want!!!! i wanna hear it!!!!!!!

OKAY HERES MORE

- if male cats can’t urinate, they could die if it’s not treated immediately (it’s not good for any animal but especially male cats)

- cats can have herpes (it’s not an STD)

- bulldogs, frenchies, any dog with a short muzzle basically breathes better when they’re intubated because that’s the only time they have a completely clear airway

- feeding fatty human foods to dogs and cats can cause inflammation of the pancreas and it usually leads to hospitalization

- dogs can split the skin of their tail open just by wagging it too hard and hitting an object

Pssst- Hey, just passed here to tell you about my two kids: Helios and Apollo.

They're my cats, Helios was born before Apollo, he's 1 year older and i rescued Apollo. They're both orange, which is why the look like siblings, which is why i named them Helios and Apollo.

Recently, about a week, Helios got sick and went to sleep- The next morning i found him panting and unable to move, he was bitten by a snake somehow and the venom of the snake almost killed him, rushed to the veterinarian and he did everything he could to save Helios, and he was saved.

However, there was a price- He won't ever be able to walk like he did, Helios was born sick (And don't know with what, but he was always physically weak and quiet, every original sibling of him died within a month of their birth and i don't know why or how- They didn't show any weakness like he did, but they all died) so now he has lost the strength of his front paws and the ability to properly walk without falling or hurting himself, which is why i plan on getting him a wheelchair in the future 'cause I'm not well in money now (I am not asking to raise money for me, this isn't me giving a sob story to get money out of people- I don't want it, mostly because Helios is fine nowadays, I have his meds and I've been giving him them every day) but i know Apollo loves Helios so much

They used to play together all the time, now they sleep together. I truly believed Helios was going to die, but he miraculously survived-

(Fun Fact: Helios loves when i sing, he purrs really loud when i do, so on the way to the veterinarian i sang to keep him calm- He hates goingbto the vet. I sang "You Are My Sunshine" to him because it is his favorite song, I remember singing it to him when he was a weak kitty that i thought was going to die the very next morning due to his weak body or a random sickness. I truly love them- They're like my sons, I'd do anything for them)

i was on the edge of my seat thank god the precious boy is ok i love them

AFGHAN BRIDGES FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN

AFGHAN BRIDGES FALLING DOWN, MY JI-HADI

After twenty years and death on a massive scale, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. The undeniable wave of isolationism that swept the country finally led to a withdrawal after two decades of horror shows and political jockeying from a bunch of fuckheads who used us as political props. The Vietnam vets had warned us this was coming. But, there I go being hopeful again.

A year after the fact, the nation has already moved on. Every week a new scandal to keep a mentally deficient public chomping on sanctimony and anger. And every week, we fade further and further into the background. It’s kinda terrible back here, folks. Support r trerpz, right?

A year ago, my Commander walked into his office and shot himself. My best friend’s troop drank himself to death. Translators getting their heads cut off. I cry until I feel nothing. I take untold numbers of meds to glue myself together. I am nothing but shame and a seething rage held together by bubble gum, Depakote and marijuana.

I deserve this. I have hurt untold individuals and damaged those who were undeserving of my bullshit. My situation restores some sense of cosmic justice before it is immediately stripped away by the suffering of innocents. Suffering seems so random. Somewhere, Drake’s singing about somebody’s plan.

Who has stole my faith and hope, my ji-hadi?

Meet My Open Heart MC: Dr. Jill Valentine

Faceclaim: Bridget Satterlee (ginger instead of brunette).

Date of Birth & Age: February 14th, 28 years old.

Nationality: American.

Hometown: Manhattan, New York.

Height: 5’1 (155 cm).

Education: Harvard Medical School.

Occupation: Doctor, Internal Medicine, Head of the Diagnostics Team, Edenbrook Hospital.

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (but she has experimented with girls before).

Love Interest: Ethan Ramsey.

Family:

Matthew Valentine (father).

Haley Valentine-Westbrook (mother).

Lucas Valentine (older brother, 10 years older).

Katherine Valentine (older sister, 8 years older).

Ivy Valentine (younger sister, 2 years younger).

Background: For generations, the Valentines have been a family of successful, world-renowned veterinarians. Her family owns the Valentine Clinic in Manhattan, which started out as a clinic but is currently the biggest animal hospital in the country. And the Westbrooks, her mother’s family, have been a family of successful lawyers, many of them involved in politics. Both families (from her father’s side as well as her mother’s) are really old money, so Jillian grew up in a privileged environment. She went to a prep school, Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, and she was a teenage socialite, given her family name. Though, once she graduated from high school and left for college, she realized the magnitude of the bubble she lived in, and decided to change for the better. Unlike her older siblings, who followed in the family path, she wanted to create a name for herself and be her own person, not just another Valentine and ride on her family’s name and success. And once she discovered Ethan Ramsey and read all of his works, Jill made up her mind. She defied her parents and applied to med school instead of vet school. Her parents didn’t disown her, they still paid for her tuition, but her decision created a huge rift in their relationship and filled it with resentment and passive-aggressiveness, so she grew distant. Jillian left the socialite life and tried to never look back to it, not wanting to be the kind of person that she grew up surrounded by. She has a trust fund, but she swore to never use it unless it was a true emergency, so she still waited tables and worked her way through med school, to pay for rent and living expenses. Jill likes to lay-low and keep her background a mystery; she doesn’t like being associated with her family and having people jumping to conclusions about her, so she tends to keep it a secret, never talking much about her life in New York, in order to avoid someone from figuring out exactly who she is, because then people assume she’s only where she is because she’s a Valentine, and she hates to be viewed like that.

Hobbies & Interests: Tennis, piano, dancing, reading books, watching movies and series (she’s a total literary nerd and a huge geek, especially when it comes to Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Doctor Who, Marvel and Disney), medicine, solving mysteries, make-up, music (mainly rock and jazz, but she has a varied taste).

Talents & Skills: Singing (though she’s shy about it and hates to do it in public because she doesn’t feel comfortable with the attention), dancing (including ballet, ballroom waltz, Latin rhythms and pole-dancing). Jill is trilingual, fully fluid in English, Spanish and French, but can understand and speak a little Italian, German and Portuguese.

Random facts:

Jill has a very specific skin-care routine that she does only on Sundays.

She can cook, but she hates to bake because she almost burned down the kitchen one time and swore to never do it again.

She’s allergic to passion fruit.

Her favorite color is turquoise.

Jill is deeply scared of cockroaches, and hates insects in general.

She’s good at sports even though she’s not a fan of them; she can understand the game in front of her, but she doesn’t know anything about teams, players or statistics.

She’s an animal lover (obviously a family trait) and is the proud mother of a Bernese Mountain Dog called Satchmo and a fennec fox called Vienna.

Jill suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.

Genetically speaking, she doesn’t get hangovers, neither do the rest of Valentines.

She only had one official boyfriend before Ethan, Augustus, and they were together about two years, from 15 to 17 years-old, but they were only together because their families set them up, so they agreed to have an open relationship because they really didn’t want to be together, it was just play-pretend. And before Ethan, Jill had a long string of casual dates and hook-ups (including being friends with benefits with Bryce), but never any serious relationship; she was the “love them and leave them” kind of girl. Jill’s only ever been in love with one man, and that’s Ethan.

hi Amelia tell me a random fact

All of the facts I can think of are vet med related lol. Ummmm did you know that horse people are weird and decided to have specific names for random bones that are different from any other animal. So for example horses hooves are considered like one singular digit. So in a normal digit you have a proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and a distal phalanx. But for some reason horse people (I’m pretty sure to make my life harder specifically) call these bones the long pastern, the short pastern, and the coffin bone respectively

Holly plays the "innocent" bystander to cancel culture to gulit people into donating to her for her dying career and fiances but takes in another diseased wild animal with an extra mouth to feed. Heidi posts her kofi twice this month and shells out extra for a quality carrier the horror. Previous post was right these guys are the reverse lolcow.

I wouldn’t say her career is dying, but it’s certainly not what it once was - and when she gets the chance to redeem herself like with her recent guest stint on that YouTube show, she flies off the handle and goes back to paying attention only to the negative comments (the whole “I was sketching on my phone because of anxiety, not because I wasn’t paying attention” incident comes to mind).

Maybe it’s just because I’ve had cats for years and I know how much they cost - but everyone acting like this carrier was a random, non-necessary expense must never have owned a pet in their life. I have the most basic of basic pet carriers for my cat and it STILL ran $50 - My cat has been sick and just had to have ordinary blood work done to the tune of $300, not counting the office visit fee and cost of meds (and that’s at a small town mom-and-pop style vet; I’m sure the vets near a larger city like Seattle cost double that). I absolutely don’t fault Heidi for giving people an avenue to help with donations.

I also don’t fault Holly for doing the same, which I think is where people are getting it twisted. My issue is not with the fact that Holly also asked for help or sold pins to recoup the costs. My issue is with the fact that people didn’t say one word against Holly for doing it, but are over here calling Heidi “exploitative” for doing the same thing. Either you’re fine with people asking for help with vet bills or you’re not; You can’t give one person a free pass while chastising another for the same thing.

17 Questions

@captain-aralias & @sourcherrymagiks Thanks for the tags, you light up my life.

Rules: Answer 17 questions & tag 17 people you want to get to know better

Nickname: Viv. In high school I was called “Sparky” for awhile because I was an Angry Teen and I got in trouble a lot and as punishment I had to clean the tables after lunch which was known as “sparkle duty.”

Zodiac Sign: Aries I know nothing about zodiac stuff.

Height: 5′ 7.5″ (I really want to round up to 5′8″ but I can never bring myself to do it)

Hogwarts house: Slytherin baby (I was horrified, initially when I got sorted here, as I was convinced I was a Griffindoor, but now I embrace it. )

Last thing I googled: converting square meters to square feet & Fahrenheit to Celsius during a convo with @sharing-a-room-with-an-open-fire we Americans and our stupid units.

Song stuck in my head: Hm, I think it’s that new Greenday song...hold on, it’s about to be the new last thing I googled...Ah yes, “Oh Yeah!” The weird Joan Jett-esque Greenday song.

Following and followers: 290 following, 551 followers (!)

Amount I sleep: Depends on the day. I’ve been furloughed for awhile (go back to part time work tomorrow) so during Quarantine, I’m sleeping around 9 hours or so. But my schedule is whacked. I goto bed around 11 & read/toss & turn til 1 or 2, drag myself out of bed at 11ish.

Lucky Numbers: 12, 24

Dream Job: Mosaic artist. or Writer if I could ever actually do it. Or own a dog/cat fat farm.

Wearing: Austin City Limits T-Shirt, shorts.

favourite song(s): Right now: Your Love by Glass Animals. They are SO on my concert bucket list rn.

Favourite instruments: I cannot play an instrument. I did buy a bass guitar to try and learn because I wanted to be like Nikki Monninger from Silversun Pickups . I never learned. Another bucket list item. THAT’S WHAT I NEED TO LEARN IN QUARANTINE. If I was an emotionally mature individual, not saddled with creeping dread and anxiety that I manage by fits of activity punctuated by obsessive fanfic reading and random social media scrolling.

Random Fact: I’m a doctor. (of vet med). That’s DOCTOR Fight-Surrender to you bitches.

Favourite Authors: Rainbow Rowell, David Thorne, Alice Oseman, Madeline Miller, Maggie Stiefvater, Jenny Lawson, Lauren Goff, Atul Gawande, David Sedaris, Christopher Moore (Pre Sacre’ Bleu), Casey McQuiston. (Can you tell I’m scrolling through my Goodreads) Does Shel Silverstein count?

Favourite Animal Noises: omg. ok, I have 2 cats, one of them is super smart, the other one is really outgoing. The smart one figured out how to go out the dog door so everytime she comes back in, it’s a happy event that she didn’t get murdered by anything outside. Everytime she comes enters house, this little, tiny petite fluffy murderess meows hello. I love that sound.

Aesthetic: right now? I have no idea.

Tagging: @carryonsimoncarryonbaz @sharing-a-room-with-an-open-fire @f-ing-ruthless-baz @bazzybelle @vkelleyart @annabellelux @thehoneyedhufflepuff @sourcherrymagiks @ninemagicks @sharkmartini @adamarks @theflyingpeach @wo2ash @messofthejess @krisrix @warriorbeeofthesea @xivz @carryonvisinata and @penpanoply

Jay Halstead Whump Fic

A seemingly random series of attacks in Chicago targeting men and women of various ages, races and backgrounds ends with one of Intelligence’s own fighting for his life. His co-workers and friends; his family, are forced to confront the fact that one of them might not walk away unscathed this time around – if he manages to walk away at all.

Okay guys, the day no one (including myself) thought would ever come! I’ve finally decided to take the plunge/make the commitment and finally put this story out there for the world to see. Also seeing as I started writing this a couple of seasons ago so some characters who are deceased or have departed are not deceased or have departed in this universe.

Mission Objective

Chapter 1: The Case

They had three victims from three completely different backgrounds; three different ethnicities, age and gender and no matter how deep they dug through the trash the only thing they could find linking the victims to each other was the M.O and the fact that at the end of the day it just seemed to be a completely random series of attacks perpetrated by the same person for absolutely no reason.

“All victims were stabbed twice, once in the flank and once in the side. We believe he came up from behind and surprised them; the first stab wasn’t meant to kill, only to incapacitate. They also had bruising around the neck to support that theory. The second was to keep them down. Two of the three victim suffered multiple broken bones, bruises and contusions and internal damage from a beating but all three died as a result of severe blood loss. Whoever this guy is and whatever he wants from them, this guy has got some serious beef with these people.” Antonio finished his assessment and returned back to sit perched on the side of his desk.

“The only thing in common in these cases are the M.O’s,” Jay started, “The victims have nothing in common that we can find that links them to one another. Yvonne Miller: thirty-seven, mother of two. No priors, no record, nothing to indicate that she was anything other than a squeaky clean mom who does carpool on the weekdays. Hubert Harris the Third, fifty-three,” Jay placed special emphasis on the title, “Drill Sergeant in the army for over twenty years, no criminal record, no priors, not even a parking ticket. The fact that he went through life, much less the army and up to the rank of Drill Sergeant with the name Hubert Harris the Third meant that this was definitely not a guy to be messed with. And Javier Herrera, twenty-seven. Just got back from two tours overseas, spotless record on all fronts and an absolutely stand-up guy from what we gathered from the people who knew him. Had no beef with anyone. He was attacked in the alley behind his house; DOA. No witnesses in any of these cases.”

“Well the fact that their faces are pinned up on that board and their bodies lying cold in the morgue meant that they definitely had beef with someone, and I want to know who, where and why,” ordered Voight, his gravelly voice almost rumbling through the walls of the bullpen of the Intelligence headquarters of the CPD. “And I needed that information five minutes ago.”

A chorus of ‘yes, Serge’s rang up as everyone dispersed to return to their own desks.

It was a case they’d been working on ever since the discovery of the first victim, Yvonne Miller, a widowed single mother, in her apartment by her landlord almost three weeks ago. She died as a result of shock from the blood loss at the hospital later that day. The second victim died on the way to the hospital and the third was dead before the first unit was even the scene and neither CPD nor the Intelligence Unit was any close to identifying the killer. The best lead they had was a next door neighbour of the second victim hearing the sound of a male voice yelling what, according to him, sounded like Arabic, in the apartment the evening before the victim’s body was found. They’d found nothing to indicate that it was a racially motivated crime however. And there were no cameras at any of the exits or on the street and no one saw anyone coming or leaving the crime scene at any point before or after the attack, so they found themselves up against a brick wall in regards to that lead.

Essentially, they had bupkis.

So getting the call that another victim had been found beaten in his apartment later that morning did nothing to ease the tweaked up nerves of everyone working the case, only the fact that he was still alive and was on route to Med kept most of them from wanting to punch a wall.

“Troy Hargreaves,” said Will Halstead who was waiting for their arrival at the entrance of the hospital, starting his assessment without waiting for the go ahead, “Thirty-two; stabbed once in the lumbar area and once in the lower right abdomen, multiple contusions to the torso, broken ribs, ruptured spleen. He’s up in surgery as we speak. His injuries look severe but I’m optimistic about his chances. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that this definitely fits the same pattern as the other victims.”

Voight scrubbed his face with his hand almost like a nervous habit, but anyone who knew him knew that Voight didn’t get nervous. Most likely it was out of frustration and anger. They weren’t any closer to catching the guy and from what little they could deduce, it didn’t seem like he was likely to stop until he got whatever it was he wanted or whoever it was he wanted.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of sitting around with my thumb up my ass watching this guy get one up on us again,” said Voight, the frustration obvious on his face, not acknowledging Olinsky coming up behind him and placing a comforting hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

“It’s late, we’re all fired up from this asshole giving us the run around. I’ll wait for the vic to come out of surgery and update you on what I can get from him, the rest of you – go home, rest up and come back fresh faced in the morning,” said Olinsky, “Well, as fresh faced as you ugly lot can get,” he added with a wisp of a smile; his voice soft and his characteristic as of calmness extending to the rest of the team.

“Al’s right,” said Voight after a beat, exhaling tiredly. “Go home.”

“You sure, boss?” Ruzek asked, looking around at the rest of the group. It was obvious that the offer was the most tempting to him though all of them looked equally dead on their feet after almost going almost forty-eight hours without sleep trying to find the perp before he struck again only to have found themselves left in the bloodied dust trail once again.

“You gonna make me say it twice?” asked Voight with a stern look in Ruzek’s direction.

“No, boss,” said Ruzek immediately, arms raised in front of him.

“Then get the hell out of here.”

None of them struck around to be told a third time.

“I swear to god I’m gonna put two bullets right in the middle his face when we catch this bastard and then go home and sleep like a baby,” said Ruzek as he and the rest of the team made their way down the hospital corridor towards the exit.

Usually it’s be one of them – Ruzek, Kim or Atwater tasked to stay behind because they were the newer members, but Al had insisted and none of them really wanted to be alone with Voight in a closed space while he was in that particular mood.

“I definitely second the suggestion,” said Kim a little too heartily.

“Get in line,” said Hailey. The threat would have come across a lot more menacing had she not been in the middle of a yawn; her arms stretched high above her head like a cat.

“Well I for one would be happy if we managed to even catch the guy and put a stop to all this,” said Atwater. “That’d do my sleep a world of good already.”

Jay had many things to add to the conversation but the strength to say none of them. He was tired, physically and mentally so he just opted for an amused chuckle from where he was walking just a few steps behind the rest of the team

“How about a drink at Molly’s before we turn in?” suggested Ruzek once conversation had begun tapering off. “God knows we could all use a stiff one– or five.”

Atwater was immediately down for the plan though Hailey and Kim both seemed equally undecided.

Jay however wasn’t in the mood for the drink or the company. He was too wired from the lack of sleep and too much caffeine and quite frankly too pissed to be good company. Something about the case, especially the fact that two of the victims were Vets, just struck a chord in him. He always felt a strange sort of camaraderie, whether they were the victims or the perps, when it came to people who’d served. He imagined the victims being someone he knew, someone he served with – a brother. At the same time, the person who’d committed the crime could have just as easily been someone he knew or someone he served with.

Hell, it could have just as easily been him.

If it hadn’t been for Mouse being there for him – if there hadn’t been the thought in the back of his mind when he was at his lowest that he was just as much Mouse’s crutch as he was his; if it hadn’t been for the police force giving him an outlet to channel his silent rage and his trauma and anxiety, he could have just as easily turned out to be one of the people he put away.

Sure he had Will and maybe his dad to some extent, but they didn’t understand. They couldn’t understand. They weren’t there. They didn’t experience what he experienced. They didn’t see what he saw. They didn’t feel what he felt: the fear and helplessness and shame.

And they definitely couldn’t deal with it – deal with him, the way Mouse had been able to – by just being there, but just understanding without having to be explained; by knowing without having to be told.

Will had the natural instinct to want to fix everything; to find a source of the ailment and apply a treatment and a cure – that’s what made him such a good doctor.

But Jay didn’t need a doctor, he needed a brother and that was something Will was unable to be to him at the time. Their relationship had improved much since then, but still when situations like this arose, the absence of Mouse felt so much more apparent.

Jay knew he wasn’t going to be such good company – he could already feel like anxiety levels getting progressively higher the longer he remained in the vicinity of the hospital. Hospitals all smelled the same and had the same kind of aura pulsating off it. It didn’t matter if it was on home soil or in some run down building in another third world country – it always smelled the same and at that point Jay just wanted to be home.

“Nah, guys,” said Jay. “I think I’m gonna turn in early.”

“You sure, Jay?” asked Ruzek. “You’re gonna miss out. Atwater’s paying. This phenomenon only happens once in a blue moon,” he said with a mischievous grin. “Pigs might even fly!”

Atwater scoffed. “Yeah, Jay. I’ll be doing the paying with money from Ruzek’s pocket. You won’t want to miss the spectacle. I don’t think anyone but flies have ever seen the inside of his raggedy ass wallet.”

“I’ll have you know, Atwater, that I was voted ‘most generous’ by the whole sophomore girls swim team for two years in a row.”

“Yeah,” said Atwater, completely deadpan. “I’m sure teenage you was definitely generous with something.”

“Hey!” objected Ruzek, mock offended.

“Anyway,” said Jay, cutting into the conversation, “Based on this conversation alone I’m sure it’s gonna be a hoot and a half, but I think I’ll pass, You guys have fun though,” he said, which in Jay-speak meant that the conversation was done.

The girls had opted to join in for ‘just one drink’ which was usually code for ‘more than one drink’, but once Jay decided on a course of action, it was very hard to change his mind.

“You’re seriously no fun, Halstead,” said Ruzek teasingly at his retreating back.

“I’m loads of fun,” said Jay from over his shoulder, “Just with better company than you.”

Ruzek’s response was a hearty laugh topped off with a middle finger salute but Jay had already stepped around the corner and out of sight and didn’t see. He felt no need to turn back for a second look at his team; he’d see their ugly mugs in the morning anyway.

He took a detour to find Will on his way out – which was ironically easier in theory than in reality, especially considering it was his brother’s place of work – to take a rain check on their bi-annual game night get together. They hadn’t had one in a while, what with the influx of work on both their parts, and despite their insistence on not cancelling this time no matter what, Jay really just wasn’t in the mood or the headspace to want to be around anyone.

Jay wondered whether they should just cancel it all together because making plans was never something that aligned with their day jobs.

Fortunately Will wasn’t too disappointed by the cancellation, mainly because he’d been on the same train of through, only slightly more hesitant about it. He’d just come off a double shift and like Jay was planning on spending the night in the company of his own bed, which was a completely acceptable reason in Jay’s book.

They shared a hug and a casual insult before Jay finally stepped out of the hospital, into his truck and drove out of the parking lot with a roar of the exhaust.

Nothing else of importance happened the rest of the day.
