That's Why You Have Backup ~Chicago PD Fanfiction~

Chapter 23

Jay watched everyone separate, each heading to different parts of the factory. Jay hazardously checked the rooms on the main floor, praying she was there. With every empty room he came across, he began to feel more and more discouraged. He had just checked the last room when the call came in. Voigt's voice came over the speaker pinned to Jay's shoulder. "10-13 I need a bus at this location immediately. I repeat 10-13, officer down!!" Jay bolted to where he had last seen Voigt, standing next to a stairwell. He took the steps two at a time, the steps creaking loudly underneath him. "Voigt!" He yelled when he hit the cement floor. "Halstead, in here!" Voigt replied, his voice coming from a room at the end of the long hallway. Jay ran down the hallway, stopping breathlessly at the door. "Oh my God" he muttered breathlessly. He hurried over to Voigt, who was holding Erin's limp body in his arms. "Is she...?" Jay stopped short when he saw Erin stir in Voigt's arms. She coughed and opened her eyes. "Jay?" she said in disbelief. "Erin, I'm so sorry. I'm so sor-" "I thought you were dead" Erin slurred. Jay pushed the her hair out of her face and gave a weak smile. "No, I'm here. I'm here and I'm never going to leave you. Never again." As he said this, Erin's eyes closed, her head limply falling against Jay's chest. "Erin?" Voigt lightly shook her shoulder. "Erin!" When she didn't answer, Voigt looked at Jay. "Grab her" Jay reached underneath her, lifting her into his arms. As quickly as he could, he brought her out of the room and into the hallway. Antonio was running down the hallway towards them. "Paramedics are on there way!" Tell them we'll meet them upstairs!" Voigt replied. "C'mon Erin, stay with me!" Jay said. Erin groaned as they hurried up the stairs. Ruzek and Antonio met them at the top of the stairs, staring at the lifeless body in Jay's arms. "We'll take her" the paramedic called out. Jay carefully laid Erin down onto the stretcher and took a step back, watching the paramedics try to bring Erin back.
