The Thin Blue Line, Rage In Chicago #3 (Chicago PD/Jay Halstead)

Chapter 6 "Take A Walk"

"I have to go and see her!" Halstead tells Severide.
Severide shows Halstead the way.
Walking up to the door, Halstead knocks, "Come in" he hears come from inside.
He opens the door and walks in, there's very little light in the room. The only light is coming from a small lamp that's sitting on a table across the room from Boden's bunk.
"Jay?" he hears Shaylynn say.
Looking over at Boden's bunk he can barely see her sitting there. It looks like she has her knees up against her chest.
He starts walking over to her and sits down on the bunk, "Babe, why did you run?" he asks her.
"I had to get out of there! The walls were closing in on me!" she tells him.
"Babe, I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you!" Halstead tells her.
Shaylynn puts her legs down, scoots up a little and puts her arms around his neck, Halstead puts his arms around her.
"Kelly told you, didn't he?" she asks him.
"Yes," he says gently into her ear, "He's the one who called me," he tells her, "Babe, you should have told me! Kelly told me you didn't want to tell me because of my reaction. How do you think I would've reacted? What happened isn't your fault! I love you! I would never think of you any differently, you're my world!" Halstead can hear Shaylynn crying in his ear, "But you have to go to Med!" he tells her.
Shaylynn starts shaking her head, "Okay" she tells him.
Halstead doesn't waste any time, he stands up and puts his hands out to Shaylynn to help her stand up. He doesn't want to give her any time to change her mind.
Leading her over to the door, he opens it and walks out with her behind him.

Walking out to the Common room they see Severide standing there.
"She's agreed to go to Med!" Halstead tells him.
"That's good!" Severide says giving Shaylynn a quick smile, "Here" he says holding a key out to Halstead.
"What's this for?" Halstead asks him.
"It's the key to my place. I'm here for another 48 hours and thought maybe you two would want some time alone to talk before going home to the kids" Severide tells them.
Halstead's speechless, "Thanks, Kelly!" he's finally able to get out.
"No need! You two need a quiet place" Severide says.
"We better be going!" Halstead.
"Yeah," Severide says.
Shaylynn starts walking for the doors, "Thanks for this Kelly!" Halstead tells him then hurries after her.

Outside Halstead and Shaylynn walk up to the van as Ruzek gets out of the passenger side.
Halstead helps Shaylynn up into the van and shuts the door.
Ruzek follows Halstead to the back of the van, "Those guys gang raped her!" Halstead tells him.
Ruzek stops dead in his tracks in shock!
"I want to see these guys especially Nico!" Halstead tells him.
"I'm pretty sure the guys went to the District. It looked like Nico ended up in the backseat of Alvin's car" Ruzek tells him.
"Then he'll get what's coming to him!" Halstead says.
"Did you really just say that?!" Ruzek asks Halstead.
Halstead pushes Ruzek up against the van, "Yeah, I did!" he tells Ruzek, "You would be saying the same thing if this happened to Sophie!" Halstead says letting go, "I'm taking her to Med! Here are her keys! Drive her car to Kelly's place!"
Halstead walks up to the driver's door, opens it and gets in.
He quickly pulls away leaving Ruzek standing there.

~~~~~~

At Morgan Point, Hank and Alvin are standing with Nico who's standing on the edge of the wall along Lake Michigan.
"What are you guys going to do?" Nico asks them.
Hank and Alvin look at each other when Hanks phone sounds an alert.
He takes his phone out of pocket and sees it's a text message from Ruzek...

Ruzek: Shaylynn was gang raped!

With the light of the phone shining on his face, Alvin can see Hanks pissed!
Alvin moves closer, "What is it?" he asks.
Hank shows Alvin the message, "It's time for you to take a walk!" Hank tells Alvin.
Alvin nods to him and starts walking back to the car.
"Hey!! Where's he going?" Nico asks.
"Shut up!" Hank tells Nico putting his gun up and pointing it at him.

Alvin walks back to the car.
On the way he pulls a stick of gum out of his pocket and starts unwrapping it, putting the wrapper back into his pocket.
As he puts the stick of gum in his mouth, he hears a POP and then a splash.
Alvin walks up to the car, stands in front of it facing the hood.
A couple of minutes later Hank comes walking up to the car, "Ready" he asks Alvin.
"Yep!" Alvin says walking to the passenger side and gets in.
