Hunting Season (Kelly Severide Love Story)

Down Is Better

"WHEN SHE'S SLEEPING IN THE BED WE MADE; DON'T YOU DARE FORGET ABOUT THE WAY YOU BETRAYED ME. CAUSE  I KNOW THAT YOU'LL NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR THE WAY I HURT"

"Baby" I kiss the back of his neck, "we need to get up" he simply groans in response, still turned away from me. He wraps my arms around him as he keeps his eyes closed, trying to get as much sleep as he can.

"Come on" I kiss his shoulder, "we are going to be late" I mention.

"Let's be late" he won't even open his eyes, "okay, I guess I will get ready all by myself" I unwrap myself from him and get out of bed. Knowing that his now-open eyes are watching my bare body walk over to the bathroom.

"I'll have a shower all by myself" I can already hear him getting out of bed.

"Oh look who's awake now" I chuckle while he carries me into the bathroom.

Erin's P.O.V.

"So what we got?" Voight walks in, "Olivia recognised she was being followed 3 times and managed to get away" I explain. "For the times which she didn't realise" I continue, "all we have is her going to work, back home and Severide's house" I inform them, "nothing suspicious" I add.

"Same for Jessica" Jay chimes, "only instead of Kelly, it's Cruz's house she goes to" he adds. "Though she has not realised that we have her followed," he tells us.

"So Olivia is more aware than Jessica" Adam theorises, "looks like it" I agree.

"You think she told Severide about what's happening to her?" Jay questions, "I don't know" I shrug. "You need to talk to Severide" Voight instructs me, "and say what?" I question, "we don't exactly have a case" I point out.

"We do now" Kevin walks in, "I just got CCTV footage of this guy" he puts a picture on the board. "Austin Miller, a good friend of Jesse's," he tells us, "buying a bunch of household chemicals a day before the fire which matches the explosive agents used in the arson" he adds.

"That counts as new evidence" Jay chimes in, "so we can officially reopen the arson case and sweat Olivia" he adds.

"Let's do that" Voight nods, "Ruzek, you and Atwater can go find this Miller guy and bring him in" he orders. "Erin, find a way to talk to Severide" I nod, "and Halstead get me a location on Jesse" he finishes giving orders.

"One more thing" Atwater interjects, "you might want to watch this" he plays another CCTV footage of the outside of Firehouse 51.

We see Jesse and Olivia having a very tense conversation.

"Zoom in on her face" Voight instructs as Kevin does so. "She looks frightened" I comment, "whatever he is saying is really scaring her" I add and the others agree with my observation.

"Look at that" we see Jesse holding up a file but it's too pixelated to read the writing. The sight of this file scares her even more.

He then holds up an anklet, similar to the one she has and she snatches it from him.

They finish their conversation, Jesse walks away and Olivia looks around terrified.

"This is the last time that Jesse has been seen" Kevin points out, "maybe he told her where he was going?" Adam suggests. "Maybe" we shrug, "what was that case file?" Jay questions but no one has the answer. 

"I think we are on the right track with this being about a previous case as a lawyer" Jay states.

"I am more concerned about the anklet" I chime in, "it's the same one that she and Jessica have" I comment. "So it's his?" Adam questions, "which means he would have been involved in whatever happened" Kevin adds.
