Dodging Bullets || Antonio Dawson

trienta tres.

Alejandra sighed, looking down at her phone as Justin didn't respond to her text. He stayed her place for another couple of days before returning home. Of course Hank asked questions but Justin didn't answer.

"So Justin is just gone and you don't know where he is ?" Erin asked once again to clarify. "We are detectives, let us help."

"No I already got people looking for him. He always disappears and comes back."

Alejandra was fighting to keep her mouth shut but she made a promise to her brother that his secrets were safe with her , she no choice but to keep her mouth closed.

There was a knock on the front door.

Hank got up and went to the front door. Erin and Ali got up as well , wanting to see who it is. Trudy Platt was at the door with tears in her eyes.

They all froze at the sight of her. Trudy was probably the most unemotional person they all ever known so for her to be crying , something was wrong.

Really wrong.

"They found Justin on the side of the street with a bullet in his skull, they have him at Chicago Med, we need to go now."

Hank nodded before grabbing his keys and rushing out the door. Erin and Ali rushed to put their shoes on and grabbed their things before rushing out. Trudy was already driving off behind Voight. They all sped to Chicago Med.

Voight ran in with them right behind him.

"I need to see my son , Justin Voig-"

Will Halstead rushed over.

"Voight , I got him."

Hank rushed over to him.

"Where's my son ?"

"I'll take you guys to him."

Will rushed them to his room and Hank ran over to his son. His head was wrapped up , tubes everywhere. Bruises as well with welts. He looked terrible. Tears raised in Hank's eyes.

This was his son.

His baby boy.

And someone did this to him.

Alejandra grabbed Will's arm before looking at him teary eyed.

"Is he okay ?"

Will Halstead hesitated to say anything.

"Just be honest with me , please. Atleast to me , to him so I can tell him."

He grabbed her arm , dragging her out to the hallway.

"We don't think he will make it through the night, the bullet was in his brain too long. By the time , we removed it , his bleed flooding his whole brain. His body is too damaged to function , a lot of things were sprained , damn near broken."

Alejandra ran her fingers through her hair and nodded.

"I would advise you guys to say your goodbyes before 12."

She sighed and looked at him.

"Thank you."

He nodded and walked off. Alejandra walked back in from talking to Will. Erin looked at her slightly teary eyed.

"Is he going to be okay ?"

Hank looked at Alejandra with teary eyes and she couldn't look at him as she looked at her feet.

"Will said that by the time they found him , the bullet was in for too long. The damage is too extreme for his body and he might not make it through the night so saying our goodbyes would be best before 12."
