So this is my first time writing for Chicago PD and I hope you guys like it! The story will go from A-Z with random Linstead one shots. They are all happening in the same world, but they're not necessarily in chronological order or connected to each other. Please review and let me know what you think! If you have any ideas, tell me and I'll try to work them in. I've got this all pretty much planned out with what I want to happen, but I can still add in some things if someone would like to see them!

A: Accident

*No one imagined that Tawny could be lying about being raped. No one ever thought Erin would be in any kind of danger, until Jay manages to save her just in time. Takes place during 3x11.

"Lindsay's with Tawny right now." Jay announced to the rest of the team. It took about two seconds before everyone leapt into action and jumped up, knowing that the only woman on their team had no idea what she had gotten herself into.

Jay was the first one out the door with Antonio not too far behind him. He ripped a set of keys off of the key hook, but Antonio took them from him.

"I've got this."

From the stern look on his face, Jay knew better than to argue. He didn't have time to anyway; Erin needed them. She needed him.

When he first met her, Jay would have never imagined he would fall in love with Erin Lindsay. She was scrawny, inexperienced, and Voight's surrogate daughter, which usually led to her getting special treatment. But after they had been assigned to be partners, he knew there was something different about her. Antonio told him that Voight had raised Erin since she was fifteen because she had a crazy past and he could definitely relate to that.

Little by little, he found out more about her. He relished the idea that he was able to break down those walls; that she trusted him enough to let him see the most vulnerable parts of her.

They had a short friends-with-benefits kind of thing for around a month, but it ended abruptly when Voight, who had voiced his distaste for in house relationships, caught onto them. Jay hadn't wanted to, but he knew the sergeant was basically Erin's father and she was terrified to disappoint him.

Then, Nadia died. She had been a young drug addict when Erin found her and helped her turn her life around, just like Voight had done for her when she was a teenager. But a serial killer had murdered her and Erin blamed. This led to a downward spiral that resulted in he and Voight actually seeing eye to eye and doing everything they could to get her back to them. After seeing the younger detective's dedication, Voight had given him his blessing and they were now dating.

And now, she was alone with a group of thieves and rapists.

"Turn left up here." Jay shouted as he banged against the dashboard. Antonio took a sharp left and pulled up to the building. Ruzek and Atwater weren't far behind them and Jay jumped out as soon as the car stopped. Antonio followed him and they busted into the house together.

"I'll take the upstairs." Jay huffed as he ran towards the stairs, his gun drawn and ready to shoot anyone who got in his way. He slowed and carefully walked down the hallway. He heard an unmistakable, muffled cry and busted open the door where it came from.

Erin's ankles were bound tightly together and her hands were tied. Her mouth was gagged and he could see it in her eyes that she had doubted that she was going to make it out of this. A man who was much bigger than her had her back pulled to his front and a knife to her neck. Her pants were down to her knees, her shirt was sliced open, and the guy's hands were on her underwear.

"Walk out of here, man!" the guy called to him once he realized his presence.

Jay kept his eyes glued to the man. If he looked at Erin's face, he knew he would lose all focus.

"Drop the knife!" he called.

"You wanna see her neck s…"

The man never got to finish his sentence as a bullet entered his skull. Erin shifted her body off of his and as far away as she could go from him with her arms and legs tied to the bed. Jay holstered his weapon and ran forward. He pulled the gag from her mouth and studied her blood spattered face for any sign that she was hurt.

"You good? Are you okay?"

"Tawny and Spence…they're still in the house."

"Antonio, one offender down, get the other two." He shouted into his radio. Even though he was pretty sure that bullet had killed the third guy, he checked his pulse just in case. There wasn't one.

"Jay." Erin muttered.

He pushed the guy's body off of the bed. He picked up the knife that had been held to Erin's throat less than a minute ago and used it to cut the ropes holding her to the bed.

"It's okay. I'm here. You're safe." He pulled her pants back up and pressed a quick kiss to the top of her head. "Did he…"

"No." she shook her head to emphasize her point. "I'm fine."

Her bottom lip quivered as she spoke and he knew that even if she was okay physically, she was a mess mentally.

Jay knelt down to untie the bindings around her wrists. He heard a sound on the stairs and stopped what he was doing. He rolled on top of Erin and pulled his gun out, all in one fluid motion.

"It's just me." He looked at Ruzek in relief. "We got Tawny and Spence." His eyes landed on Erin, who was still tied up. "You okay, Linds?"

"She's good." Jay answered for her. He finally managed to untie her hands. She flexed her wrists and winced at the pain that shot through them. He grabbed both of her hands in his own and kissed her wrists delicately, then got to work on untying her feet.

Erin tried to pull the fragments of her shirt together, but it was useless. She felt so…exposed.

"Where's the other guy?" Ruzek inquired.

Jay motioned towards the floor with a cock of his head and Adam went over to check it out. "He's dead?"

"Yep." Jay finished untying Erin's feet and threw the rope to the side. He helped her sit up and pulled her into his arms immediately.

Ruzek must have finally realized how personal that moment was and excused himself from the room. Jay rocked gently back and forth.

"You're okay."

Erin let her head rest against his chest and tried so hard not to let the tears fall. She couldn't be weak right now. Later on when she was alone, she might cry at the fact she was almost raped, but she had to be strong for her team.

"I love you." Jay whispered into her hair as his arms tightened around her. "I'm never going to let anything happen to you."

Her breath hitched at his admission. They hadn't said 'I love you' to each other yet, but in this moment, she knew it was true. She loved him with every little piece of her heart.

She wrapped her arms around his back. "I love you too." She whimpered. And with that, the tears poured out. "Can we go? Please?"

"Yeah, of course." He started to lead her out, but saw the state her shirt was in. He noticed blood on her stomach and touched it in concern.

"He-He cut my shirt open with the knife. It's just a surface wound." She explained. Her eyes were glued to the ground and Jay felt his heart sink.

He knows Erin takes things hard. He knows she blames herself for a lot of things that are out of her control, and he was sure she was blaming herself for not seeing through Tawny's act.

"Hey, this isn't on you." He tilted her chin up. "We all bought into what Tawny was saying. It's a mistake anyone could have made."

"I couldn't even put up a fight."

"You're safe now." Jay wiped the fallen tear from her cheek.

A sound from the hallway startled both of them. Antonio came into the room with a t-shirt that had 'POLICE' written across the front.

"Ruzek mentioned you might need a new shirt." He tossed it to Erin. "You good?"

"Mmhmm." She nodded.

"Do you want me to call an ambulance?"

"She's alright." Jay answered. "Thanks, Antonio."

"Come down when you're ready." He left the room.

Erin changed her shirt quickly and she and Jay walked out of the house together. She saw Atwater walking by with Tawny in his grasp.

"Hey." The two of them kept moving as if she never spoke. "Hey!"

Tawny turned to look at her as Atwater stopped walking. "You know that little girl was fourteen?"

Jay watched as Tawny spit on Erin. Before anyone could react, Erin had pulled her arm back and punched Tawny in the face. She would have fallen to the ground from the force if Atwater wasn't holding her up.

Jay ran forward and gathered her into his arms, pulling her tight against his chest. "Calm down." He pleaded.

She moved out of his grasp. "I'm good."

A third car pulled up to the scene. Voight and Alvin jumped out, immediately going over to the only woman of the group.

"What happened here?" Voight's gravelly voice demanded. His eyes were glued to Jay with silent accusations.

"I went off without backup." Erin explained. "I believed Tawny's story and I wanted to find the men who did this to Carolyn."

"That's it?" Voight motioned to her blood splattered face. "Whose DNA is all over your face then?"

Erin was silent for a moment as she watched the cars drive off containing Tawny and Spence. Jay could sense her discomfort and motioned subtly to Ruzek and Atwater that they were no longer needed. They climbed into their car as Antonio went over to the car the two of them had arrived in.

"I was trying to help Tawny identify who the men were. We were looking at pictures and out of nowhere, one of the guys hit me with something and pressed a rag of nitric oxide over my face. Next thing I know, I'm tied up to a bed and the third guy is coming towards me." She bit her lip. "I tried to fight, but he had my arms and legs bound and then tied to the bed. I wanted to scream, but my mouth was gagged. He grabbed me by my throat and he held me down and he cut my shirt open."

Jay could see Voight growing angrier as Erin's story progressed. Even Al had that wild look he sometimes got in his eye when someone he loved was in danger. Jay rubbed a hand over Erin's back to try and comfort her.

"He got my pants down and he was about to pull my underwear down when Jay showed up."

He decided to pick up the story from there to give her a break. "He held a knife to her neck, I told him to drop it, he refused, so I put a bullet through his brain." He described simply. "He's dead in that upstairs bedroom."

"Good work, Halstead." Voight commended. "Lindsay, take the rest of the day off."

"No."

"That was an order."

"I have to tell Carolyn. She needs to know she's safe."

"I'll tell her."

"It has to be me. Please, Hank. She's a little girl."

"A little help here?" he looked to Jay.

Jay knew that Erin needed to go home, but he also knew that she always put everyone before herself and she wouldn't rest until this girl knew she was safe.

"Please, Sarge." He backed her up.

"Fine. Halstead, go with her."

"Trust me, I'm not leaving her alone any time soon."

The detectives shuffled around cars so that Jay and Erin could be in their own car to go tell Carolyn the good news. Jay's mind couldn't leave his partner. He couldn't imagine if something had happened to her.

His grip tightened on the steering wheel. "Promise me something." She hummed in acknowledgement. "Promise me you'll never, ever go off without back up again. I'm serious. Not even to write up a speeding ticket. That goes for all of us..."

"Trust me, I'm already kicking myself for how stupid I was."

"Promise me."

"I promise." She reached out for his hand. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize. Just don't scare me like that ever again." He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. "I love you so much."

He glanced at her and saw her smile. "I love you too."
