Had a lil more inisght on the trio.

Her CI. She is sickened to think a case of hers could be why he dead. He went to her once a kid got beaten up by two members. She busted them on selling to someone else. He then fed her info. Dinnie would give him. She is dating the sponsor. He came in. Talked to Eve. About Dinnie bothering Lyle, et, they were buds
Then off to the apartment w Rochelle and her bro Walt. She found some items missing. The neighbor

Peabody gave 20 to the sidewalk sleeper who helped. Said Peabody has puppy dog eyes. Eve tagged Reo for a maybe warrant for the HQ, but didn't need it. The leader is racist re the Dragons. ( Chinese gang. C-word. ) Detective Strong from Illegals knew Lyle. She was on the bust, visited him in prison when he asked- to apologize. She started to believe he was turning a corner. Some ex friends came around, Dinnie. He

Her and Peabody discuss the case, the sloppy work. They arrive at the scene. Dinnie was brutally killed. Officer says the area was Neutral zone.
Are the three idiots wanting a turf war? Dunno.

Beat cops show up and get the trio to leave. Dinnie was known. Not bright. They go see if she is in the flop.

Need help. Then three dudes came up. Left laughing. Peabody off to Central. Eve and Roarke went to Crack's. Rochelle identified the girl- Dinnie. Roarke will get them a car so she can go tell her family. He's family, Rochelle works for him, and Lyle is Eve's. They go to a seedy part of town where the gang live. Had some words w three idiots. One threw a rock and it bounced off the car shield and knocked the girl out.

Was alive when she left to meet Crack. He had been in jail, ran w a gang. But clean. They found him dead in a chair w a syringe sticking out of his arm. Crack stopped her from going to Lyle, comforted her and called for Eve. Her and Roarke go. Eve sees signs of murder made to look like an OD. Roarke calls Peabody. McNab was w her. A neighbor had a lot of info. A girl came up to get Lyle to open the door. Pretended

On Rochelle and An Didean. Went up to work. Galahad stayed w Summerset. He hoped Eve came home unbloody. She did. Chats w Roarke about Rochelle, her closed case. She read the contract. Rochelle told Roarke that she met Crack at a memorial. Patient, that Crack knew. Asked to be a mentor. They clicked. Yeah, figured something was up when we kept going to Rochelle. Her brother Lyle, who was an addict who was clean,

She met Crack in December, only been together a few months. Didn't hook up right away. Roarke offered her the job. They go tour An Didean. He comes back and chats w Caro. Then we follow him home. He, Summerset, and Galahad all chill by the fire in a room. He so much wants to toss out Eve's old Academy sweatshirt, but Roarke warns him against it. He thinks of his lil button. All got their talismans. Gave updates

Then grabbed Feeney. Mrs. Whitney was there too. Baxter flirted w Trina. Trueheart had his gf.
Roarke stopped Eve from running Rochelle. He already did. He will offer a head position at An Didean. She got to actually enjoy a full Sunday.
