Chapter 67

*Erin's POV*

Hank refused to allow me to interview the guy with Jay, that surprised me, but so I was now in our suspect's hospital room.
"Alright Jake. Why did you attack the woman?" Jack McAllister was wanted for grievous bodily harm but then decided to flee from Jay and me, which was why he was here now.
"That doesn't matter. This bitch shot my tire!" He looked at me angrily.
"Watch it." Hank was standing next to me, but Jack wasn't intimidated.
"What do you want to do? Hit me? Then you're rid of your job." Apparently he still had no intention of cooperating.
"You shouldn't worry about that." Hank cracked his knuckles.
"Whatever, old man. I want a lawyer and sue her. Give me your name and batch number." McAllister looked at me, but I didn't even think of it.
"I'm not sure where she shot you either. I don't see a gunshot wound." Hank leaned against the wall.
"You can not be serious right now! She shot my tire, so my car rolled over." I could watch Jack's pulse go up.
Mine did the same because I knew the trouble that could get me into.
"I can't say anything about that, your car burned down, the accident probably didn't do the electronics any good." Hank shrugged his shoulders and then we left the room.
"What did you do?" I looked at him questioningly.
"Let it go, Erin. If you hadn't shot the tire, I wouldn't have had to do it in the first place. The tires are gone now so there won't be any consequences for you because no one will believe him." He left me alone and walked away.
"How'd go?" Jay came up from behind and scared me because I hadn't heard him.
"I don't know. All I know is that Hank burned down the car." Jay's eyes widened for a moment, but then he realized that we were talking about Hank Voight, who has probably already done worse to make evidence disappear.
"So we're good." I nodded and Jay put an arm around me as we walked to the car to drive back to the district.

*Jay's POV*

Voight had decided to take Erin and I off the case, we weren't thrilled, but we had to.
So now we sat alone in the bullpen and filled out applications that we had previously put off.
"Lani learned a new word." Erin made me look up from the papers I was just signing.
"Yes? What does she say now?" Her vocabulary so far consisted of 'Mom', 'Dad' and 'up'.
"She can now say 'Teddy'." I smiled because I had just bought her a new one a few days ago.
"She is now almost a year old. Last year around the time I was still pregnant." Erin chuckled and looked down at her stomach, which was flat again.
"I remember." I loved her, no matter what she looked like, but I had the feeling that she had shone even more during the pregnancy.
"You ever thought about another child?" Erin came over to me and sat on my desk.
"Maybe. Yeah." I knew that she wanted another child because she had a brother herself, with whom she had only partially grown up, but she knew that siblings could be nice sometimes, even if they were often annoying.
"I want another one." Erin looked at me and I pulled her down onto my lap because I had the feeling that, for a brief moment at least, it were just the two of us.
"Then we'll make it happen." I kissed her tenderly and she leaned against me to intensify the kiss a bit.
"I love you." Erin got up because someone came up the stairs and so she wanted to be back at her desk.
"Erin? Jay?" Trudy Platt came up the stairs.
"Hank just called and said he'd made you do enough paperwork for today. You can go home." That sounded very welcome to me because it was a really warm day and my motivation to sit here was not very great.
