Emotional

Chapter 10

It'd taken Erin about six weeks to make a full complete recovery. The first two weeks they'd spent working through emotions and blame, talking it out until Jay believed he wasn't at fault. Then he went back to work and she was still doing PT. On the fourth week she was cleared for desk duty and two weeks later she was back to full duty.

It felt great being back, and Jay was back in a better place. Things were going good with them.

They'd been working a case all week and hadn't really had much time to spend just them. She could tell by Friday we was getting worn down, and she would be glad when they wrapped the case up.

Friday afternoon they were back at the district so Voight could interrogate their suspect, and close the case. The team was chilling in the bullpen just waiting when Platt walked up. "Halstead, visitor," she said.

Jay and Erin exchanged a look because he wasn't expecting anyone. "I'll send him up?" Platt said before going back down. Erin and Jay assumed it must be Will making a surprise stop by.

Adam, Kevin and Antonio went to the break room to get drinks while Erin stayed with Jay.

The man that topped the stairs definitely wasn't Will so Erin was curious now. She glanced over at Jay and he'd gone rigid sitting on the edge of his desk. His face had paled considerably as well. She was instantly worried.

"Jay?" the man said holding his hand out.

Jay refused to take it which was unusual and he backed away just a little after standing.

"Detective Lindsay," Erin said shaking his hand instead as she kept glancing at her partner. She noticed some facial features similar to Will but she wasn't sure. She could tell the guys were watching from the break room as well.

"Jay?! Aren't you going to say anything?" the man questioned with a smirk.

Erin stepped closer to Jay as she watched him. It was almost like he couldn't breathe and he was seriously whiter than he should be. Before she could ask the man who he was or what he wanted Jay hit the floor. He'd passed out cold.

The guys came running from the break room as Erin tried to wake him. She sent Antonio to get Hank not caring that she'd be interrupting his interrogation as she sent Kevin a pleading look to get rid of this man. He nodded and got up grabbing the man by the arm and escorting him back down the stairs.

Adam radioed in that they needed an ambulance stat for an officer down and he helped Erin try to get Jay awake. Hank, Al and Antonio returned quickly and the four guys managed to lift Jay and get him down to the roll up to wait on the ambulance. Kevin joined them after getting rid of the man.

"He kept screaming I couldn't keep him from his son," Kevin said to Erin.

It suddenly all made sense and she sent Hank a look. They loaded Jay in the ambulance and Erin jumped in too. Hank told the others to get busy digging on Halstead's father; he wanted an update when he called. He jumped in his SUV and followed after the ambulance to Med.

Jay came too in the ambulance after receiving a little oxygen. Erin was so glad to see him awake and softly rubbed his cheek. "It's gonna be ok," she whispered.

"Where is he?" Jay whispered trying to move the oxygen mask.

"Gone. Kev made him leave," she said putting it back on him. Before anything more could be said they pulled up at Med and unloaded him.

She spotted Will first thing and yelled for him as Ethan took over assessment.

"What happened?" Will asked rushing over despite knowing he couldn't work on his brother.
