A Jay Halstead Love Story

Chapter 25

Jess' P.O.V:

"What do you mean he's been taken," I say with a shakey voice.

"Jay was meeting with a CI to get a meeting with the big boss and they made Jay out so they killed his CI and took him," Hank explains. "If there is anything I can do to help then tell me."

"Well how do we get him back?" I ask. "I was suppose to be off three more weeks but I can come back now to help."

"No you aren't coming back now," Adam exclaims.

"Adam this is my boyfriend and the father of my child. I will do whatever it takes to help get him back," I bark at him.

"We just have to wait right now," Hank says. "I'm sorry Jess."

All of Isabella starts crying. I rock her to try and get her to go back to sleep and that doesn't work. I try to feed her and change her but that doesn't work either. I start getting frustrated because I know she wants Jay and she can't be with him. I put my head down and start crying in frustration. Adam and Kevin come over to the desk.

"I'll take Bella from you," Adam offers.

"You can hold her as long as you promise to not lose her like you guys did with Jay," I sob.

"Come here," Adam says to Bella as he picks her up.

Kevin opens his arms and I wrap my arms around his torso and I cry even harder. I just need Jay back.

"We have a lead where Jay is!" Hank shouts. "Just tracked his phone to a wearhouse on Steven Street."

"I'm coming," I tell Hank. "It's not an option."

"But what are you going to do with Bella?" Adam asks.

"I'll ask Platt to watch her," I run downstairs to the front desk with Isabella. "Sarge, do you mind watching Isabella while we go rescue Jay?"

"Of course not! You go get your man," she smiles.

"Thank you so much," I hand Isabella over to her.

I run down to the locker room to put my vest on and change quick. Thankfully I grabbed my gun before I left the house just incase. I come out and everyone is giving me sympathetic smiles. Hailey keeps apologizing over and over because Jay is her partner.

"How about you stop apologizing and get Jay back," I snap at her. "Hank let's go get him."

Antonio and Burgess go together then Adam and Kevin, then Al and Hailey and last Hank and I. Hank wanted to make sure I didn't go off my rocker because Jay has done that quite a few times. When we finally arrive to the wearhouse I jump out of the car and draw my gun.

"Ruzek get back here," I hear Hank shout at me.

"I just want to get Jay back," I frown.

"We will, you just have to listen to me," He demands.

Everyone goes into the building different ways. As Hank and I are going down a hallway I see movement so I give Hank the signal that I see someone. As we get closer I see it's not Jay. But the guy also sees me and draws his gun towards him. Before I could even react Hank shoots him and he falls. I give Hank a thank you nod and we continue on our way.

"Roll an ambo to 75 Steven Street, we have an detective here and his breathing is starting to slow down," Burgess yells over the radio.

"Burgess where are you?" I question panicking. 

"East side of the building," she replies.

I run to where to where she says she is and Hank follows behind me. When I finally see them I see a limp body lying on the ground. My eyes start getting teary and I run faster to get to Jay. I sit on the floor next to him and grab his hand.

"Jay, I'm right here baby," I sob. 

"Jess?" His voice weak.

"An ambulance is coming," I reassure him.

After about 5 mins the ambulance arrives and takes Jay. Hank offers to drive me to the hospital so I accept and we head over there.

A Few Hours Later...

I am pacing back and forth in the waiting room waiting for results about Jay. Hank can tell I am getting ancy.

"Calm down sweetie he will be fine," Hank says as he grabs my hand.

"But what if he's not," I say tears filling my eyes.

"He's very tough, he made it through the rangers so he will make it through this," Hank smiles at me.

I finally see Will come out from the rooms and into the waiting room and I rush over to him.

"I'll just cut to the chase. So he was definitely beaten with a bat or something of that nature so he has bruising almost everywhere. He also has two broken ribs on his right side so he's out of work for three more weeks and absolutely no heavy lifting," Will explains everything to me.

"Can I see him?" I ask.

"He's been asking about you," He smiles. "Third door on the right, room 7 to be exact."

I basically ran there. But my feet stopped when standing outside of his room. He looks so helpless. I know he hated feeling like this. I feel someone come up behind me and touch my lower back. I look over and see Will.

"He's fine Jess," Will says.

"He looks so helpless," I frown.

"Go in there, he really wants to see you," he tells me.

I walk to the door frame and knocked. Jay motioned for me to come in. I pulled a chair up to his bed and grabbed his hand.

"Hey," He slightly smiles.

"Are you feeling okay?" I ask.

"Never better," he softly chuckles.

"Halstead I'm serious," I frown.

"They gave me pain meds for my ribs so I'm not feeling anything," he explains.

I kiss his forehead and there is a knock at the door. It's Trudy with Isabella.

"My baby," I smile.

"She kind of ran out of food," Trudy says.

"Thank you so much," I smile.

One by one everyone comes to visit. Eventually it is time to go to sleep. Will told Jay he has to stay overnight for observation. He also brought in another cot for me and a crib for Bella. After continuously making sure Jay was fine, we both ended up drifting off to sleep.
