Filling your Daddy's Shoes

Chapter 7: First Day Blues

Erin walked out the bedroom and saw Jay fixing himself some coffee and talking to Shane.

"First day of High School huh." said Erin

"I don't wanna go."

Jay chuckled.

"Jay,Well bud you gotta go. Sorry kid." Jay rubbed his back.

"I don't really care. I mean it's just school and I only have three more years til I enlist."

"We'll talk about you enlisting later. Come on Shane!" said Jay

Shane picked up his backpack and walked out the door. He hopped into the car.
Jay kissed Erin.

"I'll see you at work I guess." They kissed again.

"Uncle Jay? Is Dad going to come home? It's almost been a year."

"Yeah bud he is."

"Ok. Love you and Be safe." Shane hugged him then caught up with Reese,Mikey and Grant

"Happy First Day of School!"

"Welcome to High School Students." said Mr. Barrett.

"Hi Mr. Barrett! I'm Shane!" Shane shook his hand.

"You are the son of Kyle James right?"

"Yeah Why?"

"I taught him and Jay Halstead. Them two were trouble makers. Welcome to my Class."

Shane sat down next to Reese.

"He taught your Dad?" asked Reese

"Yeah. Weird,I know."

Them two started laughing.

Jay drove to the district,and parked his car. He got out and walked towards the door.

"Hey Platt!"

Platt waved.

"Hey Babe." Jay hugged Erin and kissed her

"Jay,I love you." She glanced back at the ring.

"I love you too."

"Lockdown. I repeat this is not a drill. Lockdown." came over the intercom.
Shane,Mikey,Grant and Reese went into the closet.

Shane took out his phone, and dialed Jay's number,but no one answered. He dialed Erin's number. No one answered.

"Damn it. Answer your phone."

He dialed Intelligence's number.

"This is the intelligence Unit. How may we help you." said Mouse

"Uncle Mouse! Get Uncle Jay! A shooter is here and he's knocking on the door."

Mouse put the phone on speaker. Everyone heard Shane's help. Then heard gunshots.

"Shane,You,Mikey,Reese and Grant stay put. We'll be there in a couple minutes."

"Suit up. Shane,Reese,Grant and Mikey are in trouble." said Hank

The team ran downstairs and threw their vests on then got into the cars.

The four of them held hands and just wished it was all a dream. Someone busted down the door.

"Erin,I love you and whatever happens. Shane and the boys and Reese are coming home alive. Whether that means that I might not."

"Jay,Don't say that. You will be coming home tonight. All of us will."
