Chapter 1:Kim

Kim's POV

It was 7:00 in the morning and my alarm was going off. I slowly make my way out of my bed into the bathroom and notice I feel weird. I feel really stuffy and have a headache. I assume it's just because of the weather changing. It's the one thing I hate about Chicago, one day it'll be in the 20's with a wind chill and then the next it will be in the high 50's and sunny. It kills me sometimes but I've gotten used to it. I used the bathroom, blew my nose  and took some Advil to get rid of the sinus headache,  and then headed into the kitchen to grab some water and a bagel. When I get to the kitchen I see Hailey and Kevin already up, the rest must either be sleeping, getting ready or already gone.

"Good morning Kim" said Hailey

"Hey Kim" said Kevin

"Hi guys, morning" I said back, cringey as my voice sounded kind of raspy

They both stop what they're doing and turn to look at me when they hear my raspy and stuffy sounding voice.

"Kim? Are you alright, you sound funny?" Hailey asked coming over to me

"Yeah I'm alright, it's just the weather it's messing with me" I said taking the advil followed by the water

"You sure?" asked Kevin

"I'm sure guys, just a sinus headache and congestion, I'll be fine I promise" I said as I made my bagel

"Alright if you say so" said Hailey

We all continued to talk and eat then I went and got ready for work. Me, Hailey, and Kevin ended up driving together leaving Jay, Vanessa, and Adam left at the house. As we drove to work I started to notice my headache getting worse and I was getting more tired. I rested my head against the window and started rubbing my temples when Hailey noticed from the back seat. She tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey, you sure you're ok Kim?' Hailey asked

"Yeah fine, just tired" I said keeping my eyes closed

"Ok" Hailey said as put her hand on my shoulder and I could hear the concern in her voice

I kept my eyes closed and 10 minutes later we arrived at the district and we all went in. We all said hi to Platt and she stopped me before I went upstairs.

"Burgess, are you ok, you look like crap?" Platt asked

"I'm fine, just the weather" I said, my raspy voice not convincing anyone as I went upstairs and got my stuff settled on my desk. I grabbed another tissue to blow my nose and when I was done everyone was staring at me. "What" I said annoyed and left the room to go wash my hands

I was washing my hands in the locker room when I heard the door open. I turned around and Adam was standing there looking at me. "Hey" he said

"Hi" I said

"You good" Adam asked as he walked towards me

"Yes, I wish everyone would stop asking me that, it's literally just the weather making me a little stuffy that's all I don't know why everyone is so damn concerned" I said slamming the paper towel in the trash can.

"Woah woah, calm ok, take a deep breath" Adam said calmly

I took a deep breath and then looked back at Adam. "We just want to make sure you're ok, alright that's all" said Adam. "I know, I know I just don't feel ok with the sinus headache and the tiredness and everyone asking me the same questions, I'm fine I promise, thank you" I said and gave Adam a hug. We then went back to the bullpen and Voight had us start tracking down some leads to a suspect we had been tracking down for a robbery.
