Lock And Load (Chicago P.D.)

Chapter 36

---Laynie's POV---

I look up as Dad walks into my room. I smile as he takes a seat in the chair beside my bed. He picks up my hand and places a kiss on the back of it. He then holds my small hand in between both of his strong, large ones. He smiles at me and says, "How're you feeling sweetie?"

I sigh and say, "I'm really sore but I'm doing better. They've been monitoring me closely and Dr. Rhodes expects that I'm through the worst of it now."

He nods and then says, "Where's Roman?"

"He went home to shower and get a couple of things for me. He was also going to take some stuff over to Erin and Jay's for Camille. Speaking of Camille, is she alright?"

Dad clears his throat and says, "She's just fine. She's really been enjoying her time with her Auntie and Uncle but she misses you. And I know what your next question is, and I don't think that it's a good idea for Camille to come and visit just yet. We don't know much about who did this but we do know that they specifically targeted you. We're not sure if they know that Camille is your daughter but if they don't know, we'd like to keep it that way."

I nod and then ask, "Did you guys get any closer?"

Dad shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry but we didn't. They're very good at covering their tracks. That's part of the reason why I'm here. Do you know who it might be or do you remember what they look like?"

I think for a moment and say, "I don't remember what they look like, but when I first arrived in LA they let me into the NCIS unit based on how I did in the academy. They were allowed to have an extra person for a couple of weeks so that they could decide if I was good enough to keep. At the end of the two weeks they kept me and fired this other guy. He wasn't entirely mentally stable when I joined the unit and when they told him he was to leave, he blew up, talking about how they went with the shiny new girl instead of the seasoned pro. As he left he yelled about how this wasn't over and he'd get revenge. If he found out that I moved to Chicago, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one behind this."

Dad nods and asks for a name. I tell him and he thanks me and then goes back to the district. Once Dad has left I lie down in the bed and do my best to fall asleep for a nap.
