Just us

Its okay

The next morning was rough, Tate had been up most of the night with nightmares so jay had been with her the full night since he could handle the night terrors, Will hardly slept because of his mini concussion so they were all pretty much exhausted the next day. Jay still had to go to work and crack the case before anything else could happen but Will was forced to take a few days off and the two brothers decided to keep Tate off school because she was so restless.

"Lock the doors and call me if anything seems off" jay said to his brother sternly as they both walked to the front door, Tate still sleeping in her room. Will nodded, "yeah I will" he nodded and locked the door behind jay. If he was going to be completely honest, he was scared but mainly for Tate.

Jay arrived at the district, he wasn't keen on leaving his siblings at home with them being targets but Will could handle himself and protect Tate too, so he had no choice. They cracked on with finding a suspect when they finally cracked who it was; a couple of months back jay arrested a man on suspicion of armed robbery, he was locked up in statesville but he was soon murdered by prison inmates since it was later found out he murdered a 5 year old boy. The mans brother was angered by his death and sent a couple of threats to jay but he stopped when CPD threatened to arrest him too. He hadn't heard anything from him for a while but turns out this was how he was getting his revenge, jay felt really guilty for putting his siblings through this but at the end of the day it's not his fault.

Back at the house it was fairly quiet, Tate had woken up with another nightmare and Will was supposed to be on bed rest so he helped her calm down and Tate decided that she didn't want to sleep alone so Will fell asleep with Tate in his arms like the protective big brother he was. They were lightly napping when there was a crash from the downstairs window, they both sat up in fear. "Shhh, stay here and hide. I'm gonna go check" Will got off the bed and pushed Tate into the closet. She didn't want him to go but she was too scared to put up a debate so she hid behind a coat rack in her closet with her phone tight in her hands.

Back at the district jay and the unit were planning on finding a lead so they could track the brother down and arrest him before any more damage could be done. Jay was sat at his desk when his phone rang, he looked down to his screen to see Tates name moving along it.
Jay: "hey Tate, everything okay?"
Tate: "there's someone downstairs jay, will's gone to check. I'm scared..."
Jay: "okay, it's okay, i want you to hide and stay as quiet as you can. Where did Will go?"
Tate: "h-he went downstairs to check, but he hasn't came back"
Jay: "you're gonna stay on the line with me okay?we're gonna come and help you now, just keep as quiet as you can for me"
Tate: "okay..."

Jay had put her on speaker the second he heard her shaky cries coming from the other end of the call, the unit and hank all gathered around to listen in but before hank could even tell them what to do they were running down the precinct stairs and out into their vehicles.

Tate had been sat in the closet for what felt like eternity and there was still no sign of Will, it was eerily quiet, like the false kind of quiet when someone's playing with you. She held the phone which was still on call with jay tighter in her grip as a way to block out her fear, even though it wasn't really working.
Jay: "hang in there Tate, we're almost there"
Tate: "I'm scared jay..."
Jay: "I know, I know. But I'm gonna be with you real soon though"
Tate: "okay..."

Jay was with hailey as she sped down the roads and around corners in attempts to cut out traffic, he was calm until he heard her shaky breath and whimpering cut out with a small gasp. She must've heard as saw something that made her shut up.
Jay: "Tate? Are you still there?"

He got no reply which made him panic, something was up. Hailey was forced to stop at a red light as she was stuck behind cars and couldn't get past, jays leg began bouncing out of nerves so she placed a hand on his knee to calm him down.

Tate was breathing heavily until she saw a tall shadow figure walk into her door frame, she held her breath and covered her mouth to try and be as quiet as possible. It was too late, the man must've already heard her voice since there was a moment of silence before the closet door flew open. Tate screamed and dropped the phone as he dragged her out of the closet, she let out a loud cry then a Yelp before she fell unconscious, the man drugged her. Downstairs Will was being dragged out of the house by a second man and put into a van, he had been drugged too.

Jay and hailey heard the commotion on the phone as he heard her cries and yelping go quiet, "shit" jay mumbled as hailey slammed her foot on the peddle to carry on driving now that the light had gone green. He keyed his radio to let the team know what was going on, even though he didn't know much himself. Before jay could say anything down the phone the line went dead and the call cut out. They were in the dark.

A few painful moments of silence and despair dragged in as hailey finally arrived at jays house, "come on" jay whispered eagerly as he jumped out of the slow moving car and ran toward the door which was open as the window next to it was smashed. He raised his gun and ran straight upstairs into tates room to find that her phone was laying on the floor and there was no sign of neither Tate nor will. They were gone. He cleared the rest of the house and crouched down before rubbing his head in his hands, his siblings had been kidnapped and it was because of him. Hailey grabbed his shoulder which made him jump a little, "we're gonna find them" she soothes his and pulled in into a quick hug. Jay sighed and stood up before turning around to the unit to listen to what they should do now.
