Blood, Sweat, Love & Bullets (Chicago Med/Connor Rhodes)

Chapter 1 "Heads Up"

The shift is over for Dr. Connor Rhodes but his day isn't quite over yet.
Tonight is the yearly fundraiser for his Mom's Memorial Psychiatric Ward, a night he dreads.
His Porsche is pulled up for him, he gets in and heads home.

~~~~~~

As soon as he walks into his place he drops his bag and heads to take a shower.
When he's done he gets out, grabs a towel, and puts it around his waist. Looking into the mirror he thinks about shaving off his beard but decides against it when a wave of tiredness hits him.
Drying off, he walks out to his bedroom, over to a dresser that's sitting in a corner. He opens a drawer and pulls out a pair of pajama pants.
After putting them on, he lays down on his bed to take a quick nap.

Connor is woken up by his phone.
"Hello," Connor says groggily.
"Where are you?" he hears his Dad, Cornelius, ask him.
"I'm home, why?" Connor asks.
"The Fundraiser has started!" Cornelius says.
Connor looks over at the clock to see he's been asleep for five hours.
"I'm on my way!" he tells his Father hanging up.
Connor quickly gets up and puts on his suit.
When he has everything on, he combs his hair, grabs his keys, phone, along with his wallet and runs out.

Arriving back at Med, Connor walks directly into the Fundraiser. This year it's being held in the hospital's Atrium.
As soon as people see him, they start swarming around.
"Excuse me!" someone says trying to make their way through to Connor, "I need to talk to you," says Will Halstead.
"If everyone will excuse me," Connor says walking past everyone with Will.
"Thanks!" Connor tells him.
"By the look on your face, I figured you needed rescuing," Will says laughing until he sees someone walking their way, "Heads up!"
Connor turns around and sees his Father walking over, "It's about time you show up," Cornelius tells his son.
"I was busy and lost track of time," Connor tells him.
"Over the phone, it sounded like I woke you up," Cornelius says, "Nevertheless, there's someone I want you to meet."
Cornelius turns and waves someone over, "She's the biggest donor," he tells Connor, "We've already raised two million dollars from just her donation."
Connor looks and sees a blonde walking their way.
Looking at what she's wearing, Connor can't help but wonder how can she walk in the tight skirt she has painted on and breathe in the skin tight shirt that molds to her breasts perfectly. 

"Connor, close your mouth," Will whispers to him.
Connor elbows Will in the ribs as the woman walks up, "Connor, I'd like to introduce you to Shaylynn Voight. Shaylynn, this is my son,"
"Dr. Connor Rhodes," Connor says interrupting his Father.
Shaylynn smiles and extends her hand out to Connor, he shakes it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Rhodes," Shaylynn says.
"Please, call me Connor," he tells her, "This is a colleague of mine, Dr. Will Halstead."
Shaylynn extends her hand out to Will who shakes it, "Pleasure to meet you, Dr. Halstead."
"It's Will," he tells her, "I'm going to go and see what Natalie is up to," he says to Connor, "Shaylynn, it was nice meeting you."
Will walks away and sets off to find Natalie.
"I have some other people I need to talk to. If you'll please excuse me," Cornelius says.
He walks away leaving Connor and Shaylynn.
"I want to thank you for your donation," Connor tells her, "I'm shocked by how much."
"Quite a few of my fellow soldiers have been treated here," she tells him.
Connor looks at her confused, "I was in the Marines and Special Forces," she tells him, "I want to make sure more know they can come here and receive treatment."
Connor smiles at her, "I should make my rounds," he tells her.
"Yeah, I see quite a few people staring over here," Shaylynn tells him, "I need to be leaving anyways."
"Can you please stick around? I would love to talk to you some more," he tells her.
"Alright, I can stay for a little while longer," she tells him.
Connor smiles again and walks away.

Over the course of the Fundraiser, Connor is unable to get away from everyone to talk to Shaylynn anymore.
Seeing that people are leaving, Connor looks around and doesn't see Shaylynn anywhere.
He walks outside and sees her waiting on her car.
"I thought I missed you," he says to her, "Sorry I couldn't get away."
"Don't worry about it, you had an obligation. But there is one thing," she tells him.
"What's that?" he asks her.
"All night I wondered what your beard would feel like," she tells him as her Ferrari pulls up.
Connor smiles when he sees her car, "You still can feel it," he tells her as she walks over to her car.
"Not with my hands silly! With my inner thighs," Shaylynn says winking at him, "Bye, Connor!" she says as she gets in her car and drives off.
Connor's eyes get huge, he looks at the Valet who's standing beside him as his Porsche pulls up.
"If a woman who looked like that said that to me, I would go after her," the Valet says to Connor.
Connor quickly makes his way around to the driver's side, gets in, and speeds away after Shaylynn.
