There's No Time...

Part 3.

Hailey wakes up, in her own bed, once again. But this time she wasn't alone.
"Wha..-?", She questioned under her breath.

Lucas was sleeping like a baby. "God...-" she sighed. "Hey Lucas were gonna be late" she shook his shoulder. "Cmmoooonnnnn" she groaned.

"Huhh?" He gurgled, "I'm awakeeee" he sighed.

"Lucas get the fuck up.. we need to go" she shouted. Then regretting it, her head pounding. he grudgingly sat up, and stretched. "This can never...and I mean never!!! Happen again." She groaned as she quickly got ready for work.

Lucas pulled his shirt on and unsteadily buttoned his shirt. Hailey went out and made a cup of coffee, when Lucas came out she forced him out of the door.

She followed, locking her door, and walked down the hall. Lucas looked back to see the blonde fiddling arround her bag, "you ok?" Lucas asked, "...I left my keys..." she cried, raising her hand to her face.

"I'll give you a lift." Lucas smiled, "my cars parked round front" he continued.

"...t..thanks." she sighed, taking a moment to think before she replied.

The rest of the walk to the car was silent.  Hailey didn't know what to say.. all she could do is huff. She felt as if her pride had been washed down the toilet. When in reality they just had a night of well...

Drunken passion that would pass... or would it? No one could be to Sure

They got in and hailey buckled her belt. Halstead did the same. As the engine turnt, and the humming of his air conditioning kicked in, hailey watched out of the window as her view changed, from being a pedestrian to zooming past them.

She started counting the parked cars on the side of each road. Lucas focused on the road, listening as his partner mumbled a number or two, he tapped the steering wheel as he drove.
"cut it out!" The blonde snapped at his repeated tapping. "Just...!- be quiet." She sighed, looking over to him with a glare, then back to the cars.

"No! You're telling me to be quiet when you've just been a snappy bitch all day.." Lucas snapped as he pulled over on the side of the road.

"...y...You what?" The blonde detective snarled. "I think you heard me." The younger Halstead replied. 

The car was silent for a moment, but that silence was broken, "We're gonna be late.." hailey looked out of the parked cars window.. "i ain't driving till we clear this up." Lucas looked pleased for himself, "wh...ugh.." hailey groaned, she was defeated.

"Fine...", She continued.. " last night shouldn't have happend... no one... and i mean no one atall can know about it..."

"..okay.." Lucas replied. "So we good then?" He continued.

Hailey saw him about to start his engine, so she knew all she had to say was yes.  "Mhm..!" She gave him a small smile, and he started driving.

They arrived shortly after. He pulled into the car park and they both got out, hailey sped away from her partner. "Thanks for the ride" she called as she went up the stairs.

He followed behind, and felt a gust of wind brush up against him, Almost blowing him off the steps, his partner hadn't held the door, and practicly slapped him in the face with it. In hopes to not be seen and "found out"

Lucas didn't understand, why did they have to hide what happend... sure.. it wouldn't be good for his career.. but.. haileys a catch.. she's kind (sometimes), pretty, smart. Who would want to hide it?

---

Intelligence was finishing up some loose ends with their recent case, all eyes like hawks on the whiteboard, hank trying to explain the visible missing piece of the puzzle.

The team did some digging and managed to patch that hole, but only in theory, so they had to catch the perp.

"Well.. Upton and I can go check out the place on Lincoln, see if he's still hiding out? Maybe looking for drugs, or money, maybe mobiles, that the others left when they got scouped at the club." Lucas spoke and everyone's eyes where on him.

"Mhm.." hank nodded, processing what his detective had just explained. "Yeah.. get on that, Burgess, Atwater,  you too.."

"Al, Dawson, you know where your going?" Voight then asked. Al nodded, and hank nodded back. Whatever that means...

He continued giving out orders until everyone knew what they where doing.

They went to get their vests on, then they all split off into their assignments and went off. "Report back, with anything you find. Let's roll out." He growled as he left - followed by his team.

Halstead got Into the passenger seat, assuming she wanted to drive, hailey got in and Lucas passed her the keys, she then started the car up.

They drove to the building, she parked up, and they got out, trying to make no noise. "We're here sarge" hailey spoke calmly, one hand on her gun, and the other holding her radio to her face as she spoke..

Halstead covered her as she radioed in, they then continued to the building.

As they raced through the first door, one shot rang through their ears, a giant bullet hole though the door hailey was a second from opening.

"Hail-" Lucas shouted. Being cut off by his partner, "I'm fine.. " she sighed, "cover me" she then demanded. And he did what was asked.

Upton stormed through the door, as Halstead covered her, he looked areound one corner, not keeping an eye on his partner.

The blonde went in the other direction, as she radioed in, " 5021 Henry, armed offender in the building, we need backup",

"Copy that. We're on route." Hailey heard the voice of her Sargent, and she continued her way through the building.

Lucas spotted a man and shouted out, "Chicago Police Department stop!",  he cornered the running perp. As the man turnt arround lucas' stomach flipped and he felt anxiety growing in his throat.

"Detective!" The man grinned, gripping onto his gun. Lucas identified the gun as a modified pump shotgun.

"Put the gun down." Lucas snared, "or what! You'll blow my brains out?" The man flashed a look of sarcastic fear,
" I can do that myself!" The man continued, placing his own gun to his temple.

"No!" Lucas shouted. The perp laughed at the officers fear, and took the gun away from his own temple, and pushed it forwards towards the detectives face.

"Drop your fucking gun before I blow your brains over the flat screen." The perp smirked, and the officer dropped his gun,

"and your radio.. swear down you coppers are as thick as mud." He laughed,  Lucas did exactly what was asked, hoping his partner would help him. But she was no where to be seen.
