Chapter 141

The team was in the bullpen when Erin glared at Adam.

Adam caught her look and turned to her.

"What did I do?" He inquired.

Erin let out a sigh before responding.

"You got Jay drunk, and he didn't get home until midnight!" she accused.

Adam was perplexed; he hadn't been with Jay.

"Lindsay, as much as I love you, I wasn't with Jay," Adam corrected, shaking his head.

Erin was now confused. Who was her husband with?

"But Jay texted me saying he was with you, and he came home late because you held him back?" Erin explained.

Adam was confused as Jay walked into the bullpen.

"What's going on?" Jay inquired.

Before anyone could speak, Hailey approached, holding two coffees.

"Here you go, partner!" Hailey beamed.

Jay accepted the cup and sipped the coffee.

"She's buying you drinks now?" Erin snapped.

Hailey and Jay turned to Erin, and Jay approached her.

"Erin? What's this about?" Jay questioned.

Erin stepped back and demanded.

"Where the hell were you last night?"

Jay faced Erin and began to explain.

"I told you, I was with Ad—" Jay was interrupted.

Erin shook her head and interjected.

"Don't lie! I know you were with Hailey!"

Jay sighed, placing his coffee down.

"So what if he was with me? I'm better company," Hailey interjected.

Erin growled softly and stepped closer.

"Excuse me?" Erin challenged.

Hailey crossed her arms and retorted.

"Yes, Jay told me you keep him up all night with your crying baby, and he needed an escape, so I got a few beers into him," Hailey divulged.

Erin's gaze was lethal as she growled.

"At least he's not wed to a desperate, cheap blonde like you!" Erin said with a smirk.

Hailey glanced down, a smirk playing on her lips.

"You're playing with fire..." She began.

Erin strode over, arms crossed.

"I've brought plenty of water," she replied with a smile.

Hailey aimed a punch at Erin, but Erin dodged and accidentally hit Jay instead.

"OW! MY NOSE!" Jay yelled.

He dropped to his knees, clutching his nose.

"Adam! Towel, now!" Erin commanded.

Adam gave a quick nod, and Erin checked Jay's nose.

"Let me see, baby," Erin murmured.

Jay removed his hands, revealing a bloody nose.

"Damn! Okay, we need to get you to Med!" Erin declared.

Adam provided Erin with an ice-packed towel and stepped away.

"I'm just going to place this on your nose," Erin confirmed.

She applied the towel to Jay's nose and assisted him to his feet.
