TW// Mention of R*pe

Nadia and I had gotten lunch and as we headed upstairs I heard a call come through in Voight's office, I went over to drop my stuff off on my desk.

Things were pretty busy in the office since the guys from NYPD came over for us to help them with a case they thought linked to one of theirs. Voight walked out of his office.

"y/n, you and Jay head to 51, Lt.Casey called, they have a fire they think might be more in our department, go check it out and report back." He instructed.

"Yes sir." I put my jacket back on and gestured for Jay to get going. I drove us to the firehouse and we made our way inside.

"Hey." Jay got everyone's attention.

Kelly was sitting at the table eating, he gestured for me to go give him a hug. I walked over and I hugged him before he pulled me down to sit on his lap as he continued eating.

I once more saw Jay's jaw clench but he looked down and avoided looking at us. "So Casey, we heard there's something you want us to have a look at?" I talked to Matt.

"Yes, we attended a raging apartment fire just a while ago, our guys are checking it out and at first we thought it had something to do with an electrical fire. We saved two victims, a male, and a female but we got a call from Med letting us know that the female victim had been r*ped. We think it was arson so we called you guys to come check the scene out." Casey explained.

"Sounds familiar," I spoke to Jay thinking about the NYPD case. He nodded.

"Ok, why don't you lead the way and we'll follow you in our car," Jay suggested.

Casey nodded and started heading out. I turned and gave Kelly a quick kiss on the cheek before heading out with Jay.

I got in the driver's side and started driving behind Casey. Jay was awfully quiet.

"Hey are we good?" I asked him. He didn't reply and simply kept looking forward but I could see he was lost in his train of thought. "Jay!" I said his name louder.

"What-" He snapped out of his thoughts.

"I asked if we're good?" I asked him.

"Oh, yeah yeah, I just...you gave me loads to think about."  He said in quite a confusing tone. He sounded slightly annoyed but also calm.

"Look, I said what I said because I want us to be ok, and we work together whether you like that or not. " I told him.

He just nodded but didn't say anything.

We got to the scene and Casey gave us a wet rag to put over our mouths before going in. We walked in and immediately the smell of smoke filled my lungs, I felt myself getting a little bit nervous remembering Gish's attempt at burning me alive.

We walked upstairs and we began inspecting the scene. Casey explained the starting point of the fire as well as what led them to believe this was arson, I moved some debris from the floor and I noticed a nail polish bottle. I picked it up and showed it to Jay.
