Hold On To Me

Chapter 8

"Talk to me" Sienna starts her day with a 911 in the pit. The ambo stops right when she gets out.

"55 year old John Doe, 3rd degree burn wounds and smoke inhalation" Gabby continues reading the man's vitals. Sienna finally has a chance to check the man's face and is shocked when she sees it.

"No, he's not a John Doe." She frowns, "This is Pat Halstead"

"You know him?" Choi asks her

"Yeah, let's get him to trauma bay. Page Plastics"

"Copy that Doctor"

Sienna and Choi cut off what's left of his shirt and starts treating him.

She calls Jay after she treated his dad. There's unfortunately no way he's going to make it. His organs have shut down completely.

"Hey Si, I'm in the middle of a case."

"Jay, your dad is at Med. He has third degree burn wounds and smoke inhalation. He's not going to make it"

Jay's silent for a few seconds. "I c-can't. Not now Si."

Sienna sighs, she understands where he's coming from. Jay's estranged to his family ever since his mom died. Will's in New York as a fancy Plastic surgeon.

They haven't had contact since before Jay got deployed.

"Okay, it's time to bury the hatchet Jay"

He hangs up without saying anything else. Sienna sighs and goes to check on Pat. He's barely awake when she walks in. He gives her a tiny smile.

Sienna has only met him twice. Jay clamps up every time someone asks about his father.

"Hi Pat, you remember me?"

The man coughs, "Jay's....friend"

"Yeah" Sienna smiles, "You shouldn't talk. You suffered from third degree burn wounds and smoke inhalation. I treated you as best as I could but your organs are shutting down. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you."

She hands him a notebook and a pen she always keep on her. He immediately writes something and then shows it to her.

My boys?

"Will's in New York. He's on his way, and Jay... Jay's busy with a case."

Jay's in Chicago?

Sienna nods, "He is. He's back from Afghanistan."

He nods but doesn't write anything back. Sienna sighs in sympathy and walks out of the room to find Will Halstead by the nurses' station.

"Will?" Sienna walks up to the red-head He turns around and smiles brightly at the blonde girl.

"Sienna Roberts, as I live and breathe"

She gives him a hug. "I'm sorry it's not better circumstances, but it is good to see you."

He smiles, "It's always good to see you. When did you get back from Afghanistan?"

"A year ago. I uh, got a job in Boston as Head of Trauma but moved as soon as there was a place for me here."

"I'm glad you're in Chicago. Do you have any news on my dad?"

Sienna frowns, "His organs are shutting down; all we can do now is make him comfortable. He's in room 5"

He nods, "Jay?"

"I told him, he's working."

"He's not coming is he?" Will guesses, his suspicions are confirmed with the look on Sienna's face.
