*Set after the Ray Burke time and Will returns home from Witness Protection*

Will Halstead had finally returned home to the Windy city of Chicago after being in Witness protection for over 6 months after being sent away for his own protection after being involved with a mobster, Ray Burke. When Jordan had heard of it she couldn't believe Will had done something that insane and he was whisked away on his wedding day of all days.

The entire time he was gone Jordan would ask and question Jay on where Will went, if he was alright. Jay couldn't answer her. He couldn't endanger her or his brother, all he could give her was, 'I don't know'. Jordan knew he was lying but for good reason he was protecting his brother. Hell she would do it if that had been her brother.

But finally after 6 long months Will had returned to Chicago and Jordan couldn't wait to see him. Will had been going back for his first shift back at the hospital, he was wearing his dark maroon scrubs and carried his backpack. The entire time as he walked in he hadn't realized he was being followed by Jordan.

The teen ran up and jumped on his back scaring the living hell out of him. "Welcome home Will!"

The redhead chuckled. "How did I know that be you?"

"You're very lucky" She chuckled. "I missed you"

"I missed you too squirt. You can hop off now. The express has stopped"

She chuckled and hopped off. "How are you? What you went through must have been a lot"

"I'm getting there. Day by day. Just taking it one day at a time"

"If you ever need anyone to talk to. You got me, I'm here for you anytime you need it"

"Thanks kiddo. I take it you're here to see me?"

"Well that and my dad's working. I was hoping I could stay here and hang out with you. We need to catch up on stuff, you've been gone 6 months. We got months to catch up on stuff"

"I'll do my very best to hang out but for the time being I got my actual work to do and I'm sure you have some kind of school work to do"

"You are good"

"Let's go"

"So how are things with you and Natalie since you've been home"

"Kinda rough. It's been an adjustment for both of us. I'm not staying with her right now, I'm staying with Jay"

That had caused the teen to stop and go in front of him. "What do you mean you're staying with Jay?"

"Just that. I'm staying with Jay"

"Why are you staying with Jay?"

"I shouldn't be showing you this but" He took his backpack off and unzipped it.

Inside the bag was some of Will's clothes, his white coat, and what looked like a hand gun. Jordan's eyes went wide seeing the piece.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"If you mean a gun yes"

"You took Jay's gun?"

"What? No. This is my gun. I bought it for protection"

"Oh Will" She hugged him.

The teen knew all to well how she didn't feel safe after a couple of incidents with guns, she knew Will wouldn't feel safe for a little while. She pulled away from the older Halstead.

"This is why Natalie kicked you out? Does she not understand what you've been through?"

"I don't like talking about it"
