New York, Chicago

Chapter 4: I need you

The next day, I tell Desk Sergeant Platt all about the game. Noah and I are eating lunch with her while Intelligence is out on a case. My mom went with them because this could be a possible "sex crime."

Sergeant Platt is going to take me to the hospital with Noah after lunch to get my stitches looked at. She knows I hate them; but it only took one look from her to agree. She promised to hold my hand the whole way, so I gave in pretty quick.

Walking up through the ER department, I spot a man with red hair heading our way. "Dr. Halstead, thank you for taking time out" the doctors just gives a geniue smile "Anytime Trudy!" The doctor replies.

True to her word, Trudy held my hand the whole time. Noah was acting like mom, asking the guys why they needed certain information and all. I finally find the courage to ask the one question that has been on my mind since I first met the doctor.

"Is detective Halstead your brother?" Laughing, he gives me a "yeah, is he irritating you already?" I give him a "no sir" and we continue to listen to Noah talk about nothing in particular. Both brothers are handsome, but my boyfriend takes the cake.

Dr. Choi comes into the room to check on my head. Boyfriend number two! Dr. Choi's skin is so soft, and his beard looked so ruff, but smooth at the same time. Not my daddy issues coming out

Leaving Chicago Med, Trudy informs us that we are going to make a quick stop to Firehouse 51 where her boyfriend works. Me and Noah were stoked because we love firemen and women. Being on our best behavior because one, we are good kids, and two, Trudy told us we would get ice cream, we make our way into the firehouse.

I couldn't help but be in awe along with Noah. I've never seen a firehouse look this nice. We are introduced to Mouch and I quickly learn that nicknames are common in the Chicago family. Yup, that's what I'm calling them. I see the guy from yesterday with the cool car.

He doesn't notice me so I don't acknowledge that we've met before. I don't know if they know were he was or why we was at the station, so I just won't say anything at all. Noah and myself are introduced to EVERYONE and we are given an official tour of the place my Captain Matthew Casey. Matthew was really nice and I found myself opening up to him a few times.

Getting back to the main room, Trudy asks us if we are ready to go, we tell her yes and wave to the firemen and women. Upon leaving, I see a figure running towards us "wait up!" Turing around, o see the ocean-eyed man. "I didn't get to introduce my self, Hi, I'm Kelly Serveride"
***************************

"So, Sergeant, is there anything I can do to help you?" After getting the best ice cream ever, we head back to the precinct and we are waiting for Intelligence to get back from a call.

"No sweetheart, there isn't. Thank you for offering though." I sit back in my chair and try to entertain myself.  I am tempted to call up Reid and see if they need my help in a case, but I don't want to bug them.

The Chief from Firehouse 51 came into the precinct. Chief Biden looks very upset and pissed. "Sergeant Platt, how are you today?" The Chief and Sergeant continue to talk for a while, Boden wanted to know when Intelligence would be back because they had an arson case Now is my time to shine "Excuse me Chief Boden, Sergeant Platt, I can help. I train every summer with the BAU. They are a unit in the FBI. I have helped solved many cases with them."

Trudy was a little apprehensive about me going at first. "Noah will be glued to your hip after I leave Sergeant Platt, trust me." She finally agreed and so did Chief Boden. Leaving the precinct with Chief, we make our way to the scene. Boden informs me that everyone else is still there.

Arriving on scene, I am not shocked at what I see. After working more than 50 arson cases, I can hold my stomach if I see a victim. "Chief, I thought you were going to get someone from CPD?"

"What? Are you not happy to see me Matthew Casey?" The chief goes on to explain why I'm here and not someone who actually works for the CPD. Kelly Serveride makes me wear his fireman gear 'just in case' he's going all protective on me for no reason

I am able to help the CFD finish and solve the case in a hour tops. Kelly offers to give me a ride back to the station and I was tempted. Matthew told me that next time, he will take me. I was so excited to ride in a fire truck, but I decided not to. Noah has a love for them, and I am not riding in one for the first time without him.

I politely decline Kelly and ask the chief to take me back. I could tell Kelly was a little upset about not being able to take me back, but there was more at stake than just Kelly's feelings. My little brother has always wanted to be a fireman. And even though it scared me and mom, which ever one Noah chose, I would choose also.

Chief Boden walked me into the precinct and made sure I safely made it back to Sergeant Platt. "Thank you Chief Boden" He send me a kind smile and I walk back behind the desk where Naoh is waiting to hear all about what I did "Did you ride FireTruck?"

I pick up Noah and sit him in my lap "I would never ride on the FireTruck without you bubba" Noah goes to sleep not long after that. The bust ended up taking longer than we all thought so sergeant sent Noah and me up to sleep in Voight's office. There were two patrolmen with us, I started to have flashbacks to what happened weeks ago in New York.

I'm trying not to hyperventilate. Even though Noah is asleep, I'm still afraid that something may happen to us. I am tempted to call mom, or someone from Intelligence. I was given the numbers of everyone- The firehouse, doctors from med, and everyone here at the CPD.

There is only one number that I want to call right now, but I'm scared to. Fuck it I quickly dial the number, they answer after the third ring. "Hello?"

"Can you please come to the precinct, I need you"
