Point of view : Hank Voight 




I sigh, hearing others knocks on the door. I take a look on my alarm clock : 7 a.m.
A Sunday. I really hope that the person who wakes me up so early has a good reason ... Very good reason!


- Halstead?


I stay surprised. But I wait his answer, his reason ...


- Sorry for the inconvenience ... Erin is here?


I Continue to stare at him, frowning. It's a joke or ...?


- You can say you wake me up a Sunday, at 7 am, for ... that?
- Not for that. For Erin, he replies.


I don't know which one of them I'm going to beat...


- Don't you sleep a sunday morning? Like most people ... Or like normal person, you know.
- I try to call her but ...
- And you didn't think she didn't answer because she slept?

- Exactly, I did ! That's why I'm here.


... Finally, I think he's gonna be the first to be slapped.


- ... Listen, I'm very sorry. If I had other solution, I'd do it. I waited, I promise I waited and I tried many others solutions. But this one, is the last ...


After hesitating few seconds, I let him inside. Then, I show him a door, with a nod.


- She's here.


He thanks me and I go back to my bedroom.


-----------------------------------------


- Can I come in?



She moves a little in her bed. Probably she still sleeps. I grimace ... It was hard enough with Voight, but I fear the most with her.


- Erin?
- What the hell's going on? Do you know what time is it?
- Yeah ... And I'm sorry. But I think I need to talk ...
- Oh ... And it couldn't wait ?
- I waited Erin. More than 3 weeks. Maybe if you could answer to my messages ...
- I told you I needed time !
- And I respected your decision. But until when you need time ? I want to know Erin. You left me just a letter, and you're gone! Do you think really I'm contenting with this fucking ten lines ?

- I didn't say that Jay...
- Honestly Erin, for you it's normal to leave me like that? Without a word? Why Erin? What did I wrong?


I hear her sighing. Then I see her standing up straight on her bed.


- I didn't know what to do ... I needed more space, I needed to stay alone...
- So why didn't you tell me?


She doesn't answer immediately. After a short silence, she talks again.


- Listen ... I get dressed and we go for a walk. Right?
- I would like, I acquiesce.
- Wait for me a second. I'm coming.


I come out of the bedroom and I close the door behind me.
