Locked and Loaded: A Jay Halstead Fanfiction

Chapter 23

"I'm not handing over the files until I see my detective," Upton stated as the two men sat in their car.

The one, Tyus, pulled a gun on her, "Get in the car."

Upton D's coworkers watched as she climbed in the car and they drove off. Immediately they rushed into action, trying to figure out what property they could be taking Haley to and where they were holding Harley hostage.

Upton held the case of fake files in her hands as she walked up to the address he had given her. Harley had been moved to this mansion, but wasn't treated any better. She laid on a green couch, body battered with bruises and blood, some dried and some still oozing from wounds. She was light headed from blood loss and severely dehydrated, but she was alive. The one man, who's name Harley didn't know, walked out of them room to meet Haley. He escorted her into the room where Harley and Darius were waiting.

"She clean?" asked Darius, looking past Upton at his buddy.

"Yep. Patted her down in the doorway. She's just got her badge and her phone on her," he informed Darius.

"And you've got the files?" Darius questioned, looking at Upton know.

"Right here," she stated, lifting the box.

"Set it down here," he ordered, "And then you can speak to her while I check these out."

Upton set them down before moving over to Harley. She gently pulled the duct tape off her mouth, still causing Harley to whimper in pain.

"You're going to be okay. I'm going to get you out of here. I promise," she whispered as she undid the ropes and turned to look at Darius, "I'm taking her and we're leaving now. You got what you wanted."

"Hold on," stated Darius as Upton had Harley leaning against her as the tried leaving, "These details aren't matching up."

"Those are the files my boss gave me. Let's go Harley."

"Andre!"

They were stopped by the man, Andre, as they tried to leave. Upton kept her one hand back, ready to grab the knife she had snuck on her.

"You think you could give me fake files you stupid bitch!" he growled, "Kill the pregnant one. And then her fellow detective."

Upton quick grabbed her knife as Andre came at her. She wrestled and fought with the man while Darius went after Harley. He tried to shoot her but she used all her strength to grab the gun and pull it to the side, letting the bullet hit the wall. She used the knife Haley had slipped her to stab Darius once in the side and then once in the shoulder. Meanwhile the team was just arriving at the mansion. Haley had stabbed and beat Andre, leaving him subdued and unconscious on the ground. Darius' gun slipped out of his hand as he grabbed his side in pain. Harley took this opportunity to shoot him in the shoulder and chest. He collapsed on the ground, dead. Harley stood above him, hands shaking as she still pointed the gun at him, paralyzed.

"Harley..." softly called Upton, not wanting to startle her, but she didn't move.

Just then Intelligence came marching in. The stopped when the saw the seen before them. Jay took in his wife's appearance and his heart dropped. Her had mascara tears dried to her face along with a few new ones as she stood there. She looked wide eyed and frightened as she stood over the body of the man who had put her through hell.

"Harley," Jay called sweetly, hoping to get her attention, but she still didn't move.

Jay carefully walked over and took the gun from Harley's hands. He gave it to Upton before turning back towards his wife. She collapsed in his arms, her body shaking as her tears and blood stained Jay's shirt.
