A Day in the Life
Jay J's Point of View
I was in my apartment getting ready for my first day at work when there was a knock at my door. Sighing at the disturbance I walked over and pulled it open. Something I wish I hadn't done. On the other side was none other than my mom and dad.
"What are you doing here?" I complained.
"You didn't think I was going to miss my baby boy's first day at work did you?" Mom grinned as she barged inside.
"Kinda hoped you would yeah." I complained.
"Sorry son but you know your mom." Dad laughed as he too came in.
Closing the door and cursing to myself I turned around to find mom inspecting my breakfast.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I pulled the bowl from her.
"Lucky Charms? Really?" She questioned.
"Not very healthy and high sugar content." She continued.
Rolling my eyes in annoyance I turned to dad.
"Stop her? Please?" I begged.
Dad just shrugged as he sat down.
"Ok I really need to go, I'm going to be late!" I cried as I tried to escape.
"Don't be silly, you're early. Sit down I will make you a proper breakfast." Mom smiled.
"Mom I don't need a proper breakfast. I'm a big boy, who is a cop. You need to stop fussing!" I sighed.
Mom ignored me as she began raiding my fridge. I was powerless in stopping her and there was no chance of escape. Mom was also a cop and I'm pretty sure as much as I hate to admit it, she could take me down. So reluctantly I collapsed into the seat beside dad. Mom was just serving her fry when the door went again. Mom took the liberty off opening it and who was on the other side? My freaking sister and her husband.
"Oh great the whole band is here." I remarked as Alex walked in.
"I thought I was going to miss you!" She smiled as she pulled me in for a hug.
I wrapped my arms around her and allowed her to hug me.
"You're my sister, you're supposed to stop mom from doing this to me." I hissed as she pulled away.
She just gave me her big sister look as she turned away.
"Jay J, mom went to all this effort. Appreciate it. When it was my first day she didn't even know who I was." Alex told me.
"That's right I didn't." Mom chimed in.
"Wasn't she lucky." Dad joked.
I couldn't help but snigger as mom looked daggers at dad. He went to say something but closed his mouth instead.
"Not worth the risk." Chase laughed.
"Speaking from experience?" I asked my brother in law.
He nodded in response.
A few moment later and mom served breakfast to all of us, seeing as how she had enough for us all I had the suspicions she knew Alex was coming.
"So Jay J what are you going to be called?" Mom asked as we tucked in.
"Called?" I asked confused.
"Well yeah, I mean your dad is still there so that rules out just Halstead. Not to mention I am Halstead but everyone at work still calls me Lindsay to stop confusion." Mom explained.
"I was Halstead to for a while." Alex commented.
"So what did they call you?" I asked.
"Legendary." Alex smirked.
"Of course they did and I'm Harry Potter." I replied sarcastically.
"Fine they called me Lindsay Junior, or just Junior." Alex blushed.
"I think Halstead Junior works for you." Dad smiled.
"I mean we all know your going to take after the best cop here." Dad stated.
"Well in that case honey don't you mean Lindsay Junior?" Mom corrected.
I couldn't take it the more they mentioned their names the more I realised I had to live up to them all. I mean I had two cop parents, who had trained under Hank Voight. Who in his own right truly is a legend, despite his retirement. My parents knew everything about the Intelligence Unit and to this day still ran and worked in it. I had a sister who was equally as good, who was once the youngest detective to make it to Intelligence before her move to the drug unit. That was a lot of pressure that hit me all at once. I had to escape breakfast.
Jumping to my feet I could see them all watching me.
"Um I'm going to go now, so I don't be late." I announced.
I could see mom work out what was wrong. She walked over and gave me a quick hug.
"Honey you will be just as good, if not better than everyone at that table. You are a combination of two of the best cops ever. So you know what that means?" She whispered.
"What?" I replied.
"It means there is no way you can screw this up." She smiled as she released me.
"Thanks mom." I said returning the smile.
"Good luck son, you will be great." Dad said as he took his turn at hugging me.
"Thanks." I replied.
"Knock them dead little bro." Alex grinned.
"Alex!" Mom scolded.
"Not literally of course." She corrected as she shot mom a glare.
"Good luck." Chase waved as I headed for the door.
"See you at the station?" I asked, suddenly nervous.
"Yes we will be there." Mom assured me.
"Ok…..Bye." I finally said as I stepped into the hall and closed the door behind me.
"Ok Halstead, this is it. Your first day as a cop." I said to myself as I headed for my car.
Walking up the stairs of the station as a cop and not just the kid of one was surreal. It was like first day of high school. I was excited, nervous but overall happy that I had finally made it. I walked up to the desk and was about to give my name when the desk sergeant told me.
"Halstead Junior. Expecting big things from you kid." He grinned.
"Um thanks?" I mumbled, unsure what to say.
"Hey the guys and me were talking. How would you like to be called Linstead?" He smirked.
"Linstead?" I asked confused, before realisation hit me.
"As in Lindsay and Halstead together?" I cried.
"No way!" I yelled.
"Well tough Rookie, that's what were calling you. Can't have a Rookie getting mixed up with the legends now can we?" He said.
'This is going to be a long road in carving my own story.' I thought to myself.
"Hey Linstead!" The desk sergeant called.
Coming back to reality I turned to look at him.
"This is you new partner. I trust you already know her. Hank Voight's granddaughter?" He said.
"Yeah I know her, Cam." I smiled. Relieved I had a good partner…
Hope you enjoyed :-) Please let me know your thoughts :-)
