It was bright and early the next morning, Ivy got out of bed before jay and left him to snooze for a little while longer. She hopped in the shower real quick and left the bathroom to change into her work clothes, as she was opening the wardrobe door to pick out a pair of jeans jay woke up. "Morning sleepyhead" she joked while looking at him through the mirror. He laughed and smiled at her before rolling out of bed himself, he walked over to the wardrobe next to where Ivy was stood and grabbed out his own clothes. She was still looking for her black jeans but she couldn't find them anywhere, "hey jay, have you saw my..." she started to speak and turn around but stopped speaking when she saw jay holding them.
"Jeans" she finished her sentence. He was stood over the other side of the bed smirking so she leapt across the bed in attempt to get them from him. Before she could grab them he lifted them up so she couldn't reach them, she stood up on the bed so she was taller than him and took them from his hands. Before she could get down herself, he grabbed her and lifted her down before leaning in for a kiss. She kissed him back before pulling away, "we're gonna be late..." she said realising that she still didn't have her jeans on. Jay laughed and let her put them on as he got his boots on, it was time for them to leave so they grabbed their badges, guns and jackets then left.
They made it to the district just in time and ran upstairs to meet the rest of the team, "nice of you to join us" Hank said while smiling at the couple. "Sorry" Ivy and jay said at the same time as they put their belonging onto their desks. "We've got serial killer on the loose, it's gonna be a long case but it'll be worth it when this son of a bitch is behind bars" Hank said while holding a grudge which was understandable. The team nodded and grabbed a copy of the file each from Kevin's desk, "we got a name sarge?" Adam said before opening the file, everyone looked at Voight for an answer. "Gregg Yates" Hank said before disappearing into his office.
They had all heard of him before but they never paid attention to him other than listening out for his name since it was never their case.
They were building up a time line on the chalk board when trudy came up and interrupted them, "Ivy, you've got a visitor out back" she said in her usual boring tone. Jay and Ivy shot each other confused looks but she left to go meet them anyways, as she walked downstairs to open the back door the man barged passed her and waltzed into the open room. "Can I help you?" She said since ordinary people don't really just wander into a police station without consent. The man had a medium sized build and she recognised his structure, "what are you doing here?! I made myself clear, I never wanted to see you again!" She snapped at her ex fiancé as he pulled down his hood.
She huffed as he turned to face her, "why don't you give me another chance?! We could make it work!" he said while grabbing her hands. It was a good job there was no cameras in the room because jay wouldn't be very happy to be watching the footage and seeing a man touching his girlfriend. "I told you to leave me alone! You fucked it all up a long time ago, what part of that don't you understand?!" She snapped at him while pulling her hands away. The man walked closer to her as she backed up a little, "I still love you! I don't get why you're making it such a problem!" He growled at her.
She pushed him away so she could get her personal space back and took a deep breath, "Stop saying that! I don't care, you loved the idea of me, you loved being seen with me, but you didn't love me. Now get out and don't come back!" She shouted at him. He looked like he was about to burst with rage, his face was bright red and it made Ivy a little frightened. She went to show him to the door but as she grabbed his arm to pull him out he turned around and slapped her across the face.
Taken aback, she cupped her face and looked away from him, "you piece of shit" she snarled as she brushed passed him to leave. Before she could walk away and leave him alone to be found by another officer, she felt his hand tightly latch onto her bicep. She winced in pain slightly and turned to look at him, "let me go right now" she said while shaking her arm. The man laughed cruelly and gripped onto her even tighter, she cried out in pain hoping someone would hear her but that only made him angry so he grabbed her neck.
Ivy had been gone for quite some time and jay was getting worried, "hey hails, I'm just gonna go check up on Ivy. She's been gone for a while..." he said as he got up to leave. He walked down stairs to the front desk to meet trudy, "hey sarge, where's Ivy?" He said while furrowing his brows. Trudy looked at him, "she's either outside, round the back or by the cage" trudy said while pointing to the door. Jay nodded and made his way through the door, as he began to walk down the few steps he heard sounds of struggling so he ran into the room where the cage was to see Ivys ex fiancé holding her aggressively.
She felt his hands dig into her neck as he was cutting off her oxygen supply, he slammed her against a wall but she couldn't escape his grasp. She felt like she was taking her last breath until jay came up behind the man and pulled him off her, he dragged him to the floor and punched him a few times so he would stay down. "Ivy! Are you okay? God, come here" he said while pulling her into a hug. He held her tight for a while until he pulled away to check for injuries, "is it just your neck and your arm?" He said worriedly while cupping her head and looking at her. She smiled weakly and nodded her head.
Hailey knew jay had gone to look for Ivy but they had both been gone for sometime, "hey sarge you heard from jay or Ivy?" She said while peeping her head into his office. Hank got up immediately and shook his head, "no I thought they were with you" he said confused. Hailey and Hank started walking down stairs to meet trudy, "someone came to visit Ivy so she left, jay went to check on her and now they're gone" hailey briefly summed up before he could question trudy.
"Hey trudy, where's jay and Ivy?" He said in his raspy voice. Trudy looked up in confusion since this was the second time someone had came looking for Ivy, "down there why?" She said while taking her glasses off. Hank and hailey looked worried and they left to go find them leaving trudy without an answer.
They stepped into the room where the couple were to see jay holding Ivy in a hug and a man laying on the floor with a bloody nose. "Jay? Ivy? What happened?" Hank said while staring at them. "Son of a bitch attacked her" jay said while looking down in disgust to the man in the floor. Hank and hailey grew concerned and they walked over to them, "who is he?" Hank said while nearly trampling on him.
"My ex fiancé..." Ivy said while pulling away from jay. Hailey looked shocked but Hank took immediate action and threw him into the cage. As if a few punches from jay weren't enough, Hank put on his glove and added a few more bruises to his collection forming his face. "Sarge take a break" jay said stopping Hank before he had the option to kill the man. Hank nodded realising he was right, "you better hope I never see you again" he barked in the mans face before locking the cage behind him as he left.
