OG | Love Is Blind (One Chicago)

Chapter Three

Elizabeth puts her hand on the timer. After a couple of minutes, the timer shuts down.'

'That's it?' Kelly asks surprised.

'It's not that easy.' Elizabeth replies. The timer starts up once more. This time, it shows six hours.

'Six hours?!' Kelly exclaims. 'Is that until the bomb goes off?'

'Not quite.' Elizabeth laughs nervously. 'That's how long I have to stand here with my hand on the bomb until it disarms.'

'Does Voight know?' Matt questions.

'Yeah.' Elizabeth nods. 'I told him just before we left them. I didn't want to say anything in front of Halstead otherwise he would have done everything in his power to stop me from coming in.' 

'Are you and Halstead close?' Kelly asks.

'You could say that.' Elizabeth responds. 'He's friends with my brother. They were both in the Rangers together.' 

'Mouse?' Kelly asks. 'He used to work in Intelligence as the tech guy?' 

'That's the one.' Elizabeth laughs and nods. 'I take it you guys are close with Intelligence?' 

'We're all friends.' Kelly nods. 'One of our colleagues owns a bar called Molly's. It's pretty much full of firefighters, cops and doctors.' 

'Jay said that you're married and have kids.' Matt states. 'How long have you been married?' 

'Five years.' Elizabeth replies. 'His name's Callum.'

'Is he a detective too?' Matt queries. 

'No.' Elizabeth shakes her head. 'Emergency Medicine Resident. He starts at Med in a few days.' She adds. 'Because of our jobs, we're looking to hire a nanny to look after our kids when we're not there. We have a five-year-old boy called Aaron and a six-month-old girl called Harper.' She finishes.

'How come we haven't seen you around?' Kelly asks. 

'We've just moved from Seattle. I moved over there for college and then started my career there.' Elizabeth answers. 'Voight offered me the job a few months ago but I couldn't leave my job in Seattle until two weeks ago.'

'How did Callum get his job? Isn't it extremely difficult to switch hospitals during residency?' Matt questions.

'My father-in-law is a key donor of over a hundred hospitals. He essentially brought the job for Callum.' Elizabeth explains. 'Callum didn't want him to but Harry - Harry doesn't listen to anyone.' There are a couple of minutes of silences. 'You two should go. There are people trapped in this building that need help getting out.' 

'YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE FOR SIX HOURS?!' They hear Jay shout. They look over to the door and see Jay standing by it with Intelligence behind him. 

'We'll get back out there.' Matt states before leaving with Kelly. Once they've gone, Jay walks up to Elizabeth.

'Did you think that I wouldn't find out?' Jay raises his eyebrow.

'I knew that you'd try and stop me.' Elizabeth replies. 'There's no point in getting the bomb squad here because, like I said, the bomb is only able to be disarmed by fingerprints. My fingerprints. Any other attempt to disarm the bomb will cause it to detonate. I've done it before.' She says. 'I just have to make sure that my fingers don't slip.' She looks at Voight. 'Sarge, Seattle P.D has all of the files needed to work this case and Seattle F.D has all of the original fire reports and stats.'

'Who's best to call?' Voight asks her. 

'Officer Ryan Tanner with SPD and Luitenant Andrea Herrera at SFD Station 19.' Elizabeth tells him. 'Tell them that you need the files on the Jamie Williamson case.'
