Hailey uttered the word 'gun' and Jays heart stopped.

Erin was being held at gunpoint, inside a party with drugs and alcohol. Jay could think of all the situations she was in right now, until he heard more scatter on his radio. It was Kim.

"I'm in the bathroom. Haileys with Johnny right now, Erin's with the other guy, Jeremy. He has the gun. He put it to her back and made her do a line. She's still with him now..." Kim's voice trailed off and Jay stood up. Voight grabbed his shoulder to make him sit back down.

"Jay. I know you're worried about her but if you go in guns blazing they'll dart. And they could take Erin or worse kill her" Voight's tone was serious and ice cold. Jay sat down tapping his leg on the floor of the van, what was happening. What were they doing to Erin. Where was Hailey?

A million questions ran through his mind until he had an idea. He stripped his vest and jacket off. Anything that would indicate he was police.

"I'm going in. I need to make sure she's okay" Jay said and before Voight could protest, Jay had already hit the ground running into the club.

Once inside, Jay scanned the area until he saw the VIP lounge. Erin was sitting on the couch, champagne in hand. Laughing and partying with Johnny's friend.

"I have eyes. I think he put something in her drink, she's really out of it" Jay said into his phone.

"Keep eyes on them. We'll come in through the back" Voight said as they all got out of the van and moved position.

Hailey and Kim were sitting with Johnny, he watched the girls closely. Erin looked really high, she was totally out of it. Jay didn't think she was aware of the gun anymore, Erin was just completely gone. His stomach churned, one relapse is enough to tip her off again. She had been clean for 100 days and was going well. Jay had no idea how much this little incident would affect her.

"We're in position. Ruzek and Atwater 3 o'clock, Antonio and Al 10 o'clock. I'm blocking the exit behind with patrol. We have our sirens off. If they dart, they'd have to go through us first. No way are they making it out of here" Voight said to Jay through his phone. He was still intently watching his girls, Hailey looked uncomfortable.
Kim was getting touched all over by Johnny.

To see his best friend being prodded like that made his blood boil, Johnny eyed around the room.

Not making eye contact with Jay, but with his colleagues at the corner of the room. He looked around before giving a hand signal to his buddy.

The two bodyguards standing in front of the VIP access moved as Johnny and his buddy led the girls further back into the lounge. It was a room with no windows, no one could see in.

Jays heart was pounding in his chest, he gave Adam a look to indicate his worry. Ruzek replicated his feelings exactly, his girlfriend was being held in there. Along with two of his friends. Jay walked over to Al and Antonio.

"Did you see that?" Jay asked the other two men,
"See w-" Al was cut off by a gunshot. Jays heart stopped. Knowing exactly where it came from. All the boys rushed over to the room and kicked down the door. Hailey was now the one being held at gunpoint, Johnny was the only thing standing in between Hailey and the gun. He held it to her neck, intent on having blood shed.

There were two bodies on the floor, Jeremy and Kim. Jays heart stopped. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Her body sprawled across the floor, Erin standing over her with her hands on the wound. Jays heart caught in his throat.

His eyes blurred and his breathing shallowed. His best friend was lying on the floor dying with the woman he loved most trying to keep her alive.

And another really important person to him was being held at gunpoint. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Until he passed Hailey the loaded gun,
"Put it to her head" he instructed. Haileys hands were shaking.

"Do it!" he spat at Hailey who obliged. Holding the gun to her best friends head.

Erin got up, as Adam rushed over to Kim to take over Erin's job.

"Now" Jeremy said in a bitter tone, "You're going to let us pass. Or Ill make you watch as I kill them both" Jays eyes darted to Voight.

"Let them through" He said in an icy tone. Jays eyes were wide as saucers. Did he really just say that?

Everyone stood down and let them pass. Voight grabbed Jeremys shoulder.

"This isn't over" Hank said with a dead voice, Jeremy just smirked.

"Oh but it is" he said as he shot Hailey, took Erin and ran.

Jay ran over to Hailey, he couldn't let his girls die. Not like this. He was conflicted, does he let his friend bleed out or does he chase after Johnny?

Al and Kevin were chasing after him already so Jay bent down next to the blonde,
"10-1! 10-1! This is Detective Jay Halstead. Shots fired at the police, suspect fleeing on foot from Charlie's Corner with an abducted detective. We need two ambos now!" He yelled into his radio as he put pressure on Haileys bullet wound.

"Voight, Al, Kev you need to find Erin!" Jay screamed at his boss,
"Jay we can't" Al was cut off,
"Go. Now!" he told them. They all ran off into their car and drove. The love of his life had been kidnapped, and his two best friends had been shot.

Jays eyes were blurry,
"Jay" Hailey said before gripping his arm and passing out. No! Jay thought.

"Adam, Antonio we can't wait for the ambos we need to go now!" Jay yelled to his friends as they rushed the girls to their squad car. Jay holding Haileys bullet wound in the back, Adam holding pressure on Kim's injuries while Antonio drove like a bat out of hell.

"They're both loosing a lot of blood how much longer?!" Adam screeched in Antonio's ear.

"Not far. You need to keep them both alive until we get there!" Tony said as he kept driving. All Jay could think about was Erin. She was gone. And his best friends might not make it. Come on. He thought. Come on, stay with me.
