Hindsight

Bait

At hearing the car doors flung open, she looked around to see pure darkness. Realising then that she was blindfolded. A strong hand grabbed her roughly by the arm, almost yanking it off. He hadn't even given her a chance to get up on her feet before she fell flat on her stomach. She laid down on the ground in dismay when a harsh kick to the ribs caused her to cry out loud, literally taking her breath away.

"Get up!" he ordered. She groaned still trying to comprehend the outcomes of their evening. Their night that she've been planning for days was now ruined. They were supposed to be at home having a good time, not being kidnapped and tortured.

She screamed once again when his shoe met her ribs, on the same spot. Rolling over, she managed to get up on all fours, huffing for air.

"Erin!" Jay had heard her cries. He can hear the pain that she's in with every cry. He wiggled around in frustration and anger, wanting to get free and loosen the ropes that bound him to the chair. He needed to get free so he could kill those men who was hurting her. But realising then, he was just as hopeless.

"I'm going to kill you!! You hear me!! You, son of a bitch!! Once I get the chance, I will kill you with my bare hands!!!" he shouted. They were hurting his girl and he had feared the worst. Just the thought of them pulling a strand of her hair made his blood boil. He would've done anything for Erin. Even if that meant killing a human being. Sadly, at this point there was nothing he could do.

He heard laughter followed by a harsh slap across his face that caused him along with the chair, he was tied to, to topple over and fall awkwardly to the ground. He struggled in defeat to get free, to free himself from the haunting sounds of Erin's endless screams.

Voight walked out of his office, scanning the bullpen. "Anybody seen Lindsay and Halstead?"
The question causing the whole Unit to look up from their computers. The boys knew about their relationship status and knew not to say anything.

"Ah...They're probably stuck in traffic." Antonio finally said when the rest of the Unit eyed him to answer. "Accident happened on Madison." he explained.

Voight just nodded and slowly walked back to his office, knowing something wasn't quite right. It wasn't like them to not call when running late, especially Erin. He sat back on his chair and tried not to worry too much about her since she wasn't a little girl anymore. He's definitely going to give them a piece of his mind when they finally show up. But what's the coincidence of the both of them running late?

"Erin...Er...Er..."
Erin opened her eyes, seeing nothing but darkness once again. Her whole body was in excruciating pain, her skin was stinging and head was pounding. Her hands were tied together behind the back of a chair. She tried to pull them apart but couldn't.

"Erin..." Jay whispered again. He've been calling out for her for the past 30 minutes and had expected the worst when she didn't respond.
"Jay?" she frantically looked around to find the direction of his voice.

"Are you okay?" his voice was shaking, filled with sorrow and worry, "What did they do to you?"
''...Nothing.'' she whispered. She didn't want to talk about it. She couldn't let Jay think any less of her.

Jay could tell she didn't want to talk about it so he didn't force her. All he could feel right now was guilt and shame. He had promised to protect her no matter the circumstances but now he had failed her. ''We'll be alright. I'm sure they're looking for us.''

Looking around the big, dark and empty hall they were in, he was pretty sure that they were in an abandoned warehouse. ''We'll get out of this. I know we will.'' he reassured her once again.
