Matt- Fight For Us Pt5

"Im worried about Matt" I tell Kelly leaning on his desk in his office "he's got all of this anger at the moment"
"Well he nearly hit Voight"
"What when?" I practically yell
"This morning. Said something about him pulling you over. He loves you both so much he'd be willing to go to jail for you. Hell hed probably die for you"
"I know. I just can't wait for this to be over"
"I might have an idea about helping him through the anger.  My buddy as a gym. We could head over there after shift"
"Would be nice for you to talk things through. Ella misses all of us hanging with each other"
"I'll talk with him"
"Ambulance 61, truck 81. Gunshot victim. 25 east halsted street" the alarm sounds. Gabby and I jump into the ambulance and make our way to the victim.

On arrival there's a bunch of cars around honking there horns and yelling. We make our way to the bus where the victim is, but the shooters gone
"Shot to the neck, not breathing, weak pulse" I tell Gabby
"Guys we need your help" she says as Cruz and Mills enter
"Down here will be good" I tell them as they lift the man up. They place him down allowing Gabby and I to get to work. I start doing compressions, but then see blood coming from his mouth "we've got to get an open airway or we're gonna lose him right now"
"Here, open this.
"We can't tube him, too much mouth trauma" Gabby tells me
"All right. Surgical cric" I sigh
"We can't" Gabby says "it's not allowed"
"Either that or he dies Dawson"
"Ok. I'll do it" I nod my head and allow Gabby to get on with it. Mills and Cruz help us to lift him out of the bus and carry him to the ambo
"I'll pick Ella up from school" Matt says. I frown as close the doors
"Ok?" I reply getting into the seat and shutting the door behind me feeling confused since neither of our shifts end till late.

The following day I come home to pick some things up for Ella
"You know maybe we should go away for a while. You me and Ella. You and I both have holiday saved and I'm sure we won't get in to much trouble if we take Ella out of school for a little bit"
"And what about when we get back? What then YN?"
"I..." there a knock at the door which makes us both frown
"Stay there" Matt tells me. I stand in the kitchen listening to the conversation
"Matthew Casey?"
"Yeah?"
"We have a warrant to search your home"
"What?"
"We got a tip that says your in possession of cocaine. Eiether we can search your house or you can produce the cocaine" I hear the police officer say. I look around the kitchen and by sheer luck I find a package under the kitchen table, hiding it the best I can in the short amount of time
"By law you can stay in the house as long as you cooperate"
"I'm a fire fighter at 51 my wife is the PIC at 51. We have a daughter. Do we really look like cocaine users to you?"
"If you could please both go and wait in the front room. Now"
"Antonio Dawson. He's a detective in Vice.
He'll tell you we're being harassed by this cop. have Antonio's number on my cell. Will you please just take a second and talk to him?" one of the officers holds her hand out to take Matts phone. A few moments later she comes back handing Matt his phone back telling the other officer were clean. They both leave making my finally breathe. I take out the package and show Matt
"It was under the table. God Ella could have been here when he broke in"
"She wasn't though. Go flush it down the toilet" Matt tells me which I do, but when I return Mary's gone. Probably to Voights to do something stupid.

"I'm sorry" Matt says walking through the door "I'm going to trust the system" I wrap my arms around him letting tears run down my face
"Daddy?" Ella says walking downstairs "daddy why's momma crying?"
"It's happy tears baby. Promise. Why don't you let daddy take you back up to bed"
"I'll read you a story"
"Ok" Ella funds back upstairs with Matt not far behind
"You ok?" Kelly asks
"I will be. Let's hope this doesn't last much longer"
