(56. The plunge)

*Inspired by Chicago Fire Season 7 Ep 13 The Plunge 

Today's case didn't prove too complicated. Hank had assigned Jay and me to get a couple of witness statements at Chicago Med. Since we weren't in a rush we decided to grab some coffee from the cart outside the hospital. 

It was cold outside but Jay and I sat by a bench not wanting to take up space inside. Jay opened his arm for me and I snuggled into his side as we sipped on our coffee. "How are your bruises?" He asked me. 

"Better, I think the cold has helped them go down." I turned to show him the almost invisible bruise on the side of my cheek from the ordeal in the cabin a couple of days ago. 

"Antonio's been trying to convince me to go to the polar plunge-" Jay started.

Our conversation was interrupted when we heard an ambulance speeding into the hospital, we turned to see it was Ambulance 61. "It's Brett and Foster,"  

"Looks serious," Jay commented. 

"Well, I hope everything goes well." we watched as the ambulance disappeared behind the building. 

Jay and I continued chatting for a couple more minutes before we finally decided it was time to head back. We were walking to the car when we saw Brett and Emily appear from inside the hospital. 

"Hey, you guys following a case?" Brett greeted us. 

"Hi, yeah just taking a few witness statements, nothing too serious." Jay shrugged. 

"We saw you guys coming in hot everything alright?" I asked. 

"Hopefully, this kid crashed onto the back of 51s truck, almost choked on his own vomit, we did the best we could, it's out of our hands now," Emily answered. 

Her phone then started ringing. I saw Brett's attention drawn to the phone call as well, Foster checked the number and sighed frustrated as she hung up. "Is everything alright?" Jay asked. 

"Yeah just this random number that keeps calling me, excuse me." She walked inside the hospital. 

I turned to Brett. "She doesn't want to make it a big deal but there's this doctor, Jim Shaw, look's like he didn't take her rejection well and now he's trying to make her life impossible. I'm pretty sure he's the one who's been calling her nonstop." I could tell she was really upset about it. 

"Do you want us to look into it?" Jay beat me to ask. 

"No, I mean not yet at least. We'll see how it plays out, but thank you guys, I better get back inside. It was nice to see you." she smiled as she started walking towards the hospital. 

"Alright, but please Brett give me a call if things get worse." I insisted. 

"Of course, Bye." She walked off. 

Jay and I shared an unconvinced glance, Jay wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked back to the car. 

"I'm definitely looking into this Shaw guy," Jay whispered to me. 

"I really love your stubbornness sometimes." I laughed. 

 "Oh, you're saying you weren't going to look into him?"
