Hank Voight formed an unlikely bond with a CI in ‘Chicago P.D.’ Season 9

Hank Voight first met Anna in Chicago P.D. Season 9 Episode 7. Anna shows up in Voight’s backyard and offers to help him investigate a drug ring known as Los Temidos. Anna reveals that she is sleeping with a member of Los Temidos, a man named Luis Cortes. She is able to get Luis arrested by planting drugs on him when the police pull him over.

Although Voight doesn’t approve of many of Anna’s methods, the pair find themselves bonding in episode 7. Anna reveals that she is determined to take down Los Temidos because Luis ordered the death of her brother in prison. Consequently, Voight begins the episode by celebrating the birthday of his son who also got involved with the wrong side of the law and ended up dead.

Anna Avalos returns in a new episode of ‘Chicago P.D.’

At first, it wasn’t clear whether Zumbado’s guest appearance would just be a one-time occurrence. However, fans eventually got their answer when Anna returned in Chicago P.D. Season 9 Episode 11. Hank’s team investigates a string of fentanyl overdoses with help from Kevin Atwater’s contact, a drug dealer named Jimmy Chavez.

When Jimmy disappears, Voight called on Anna to help him find out where he ran off to and why. It turns out, Jimmy stole $75,000 from another dealer and has a bounty on his head.
