The late night came in Chicago. Will still had not leave Nina's room, Natalie came up to check on him a while back, making sure he had eaten and was sleeping. As she imagined he didn't. It's not like he was extremely worry about the girl, but he felt so sorry about her. She still didn't acknowledge her real family, but they were there, keeping their distance as a total stranger watched her sleep. She was exhausted, so was Will. However, he couldn't sleep.

He watched as the guards in the front door ended their shift, making their way to others. Will didn't recognize any of them, but he politely nodded at them when they looked inside of the room. Something took his thoughts away for the day when Keyes took Jay, making him remember how he felt helpless while the intelligence kept doing her job, the agony he felt when his brother came to the hospital and how he just wanted to make sure he was okay. Jay was taken for only two days, Will could only imagine how it would have been if it was 10 years. 10 years without his brother, without knowing if he was dead or alive, if he was hungry or cold, if he was in pain. Just the thought of it made him take his phone and call Jay.

He slowly left the room checking to see if Nina was still asleep. She looked peaceful, so he motioned to the cop he was leaving for a few minutes and made his way to the hallway, clicking in Jay's phone number.

He arrived in a hallway where no rooms were being used. He thought there we could have some privacy during his call and do not disrupt anyone's sleep. It was almost 2 a.m.; the hospital was almost asleep, asleep as it could be. There were only two nurses in the floor now, just in case some emergency happened. Doctors already made their night rounds and that was probably one or two resting somewhere. His thoughts were interrupt when Jay's voice came on his phone.

"Hey, is everything good?" Jay asked almost in concern.

"Yeah, just wanted to check on you. Are you still at work?"

"Will, it's almost 2 a.m, even Voight knows we need to sleep."

"Sorry, I was just…I don't know, just wanted to know if you were okay"

The line went silence for a moment. Jay understood what was happening.

"Will, I'm okay. I'm safe. Could you get some sleep?"

"I don't think so."

"Then do us all a favor and go to sleep. I'm gonna show up there in the morning, sounds good for you?"

"Yeah. Just- Goodnight"

"Go to sleep!" Jay said before ending the call.

Will let out a small laugh.

When he was making his way to the room, someone knocked him across the wall and pain began to form in his right arm. He took a millisecond to see the man in front of him and feel the gun barrel against his chest. The man was in his 50's, but was strong enough to keep him pressed against the wall, Will knew who that was, Joseph. The doctor thought about moving but then he imagined the man pressing the trigger, it wasn't a good vision.

"You stole her from me. She is mine." The man said in a fast and husky voice. His breath smelled like alcohol, making Will try to get as far away as he could in that moment, which was only moving his head to the side.

"Did you hear me?" The man said pressing the gun right into Will's diaphragm, making hard for him to breath. He thought about calling the cops that were just a few feet away, scream for help at anyone who could hear him. Something. Anything that could take him out of there, but the fear of being shot was louder.

"You can't steal her from me and get out. I made her in what she is today. Susan is my masterpiece, you think it was easy? All those year..."

Will was disgusted, the anger inside him grew as the man kept talking about what he did to the girl and without thinking, he pushed the man away from him.

That small second when his impulse took over was enough for the man to pull the trigger, making Will's chest fill with blood. He didn't feel any pain neither heard the sound the gun made through the silent halls. He just fell into the ground, leaving a trail of blood in the wall. The cops came running a few seconds later, saying "shoots fired, civilian down" into their radios. Joseph was getting ready to shoot one more time and finish the job he started on Will, but the cops were faster and pulled the trigger on him, making the bullet go through his head.

The cops ran to Will's encounter, followed by the night nurses. One of the nurse checked his pulse, finding one as the other one came with gauze to try to stop the bleeding, but the bullet hole in the wall said it would be almost impossible.

"WE NEED HELP. Someone page Rhodes! ASAP!" The nurse yelled. And in a matter of minutes Will was being lifted up of the ground and put into one of the empty rooms. Wires being connect in his skin, as he scrub was being tore open.

Connor ran over into the room, as Bekker followed him close behind. The couple looked at a motionless Will, laying on the bed. They would've took a moment to brace themselves, but that would've costed Will's life, so they didn't really think about it for now.

"SATs?" Connor yelled.

"Blood pressure 58/33 mm Hg; pulse 144 bpm; respiratory rate 33 bmp; and oxygen saturation 85%." The nurse said.

"Need to intubate." Ava said already on her way to Will's head, opening his mouth and trying to insert the tube in him.

"Let's put in on a femoral catheter" Connor said in hurry. "I want Fluids, un-crossed red blood cells and 2 units of FFP."

"Got it." Ava announced as she tubbed Will, already getting her stethoscope and placing it in Will's chest. "Decreased breath sounds in both hemithoracic cavities." She grabbed the FAST scan now. "Fluid on the pericardium, gonna need a chest tube."

The nurses started to run, grabbing what she needed.

"Can we get an X-Ray here?" Connor asked for the nurse.

"I'm sorry, just in the ED...It will take way too long." The reply made Connor look at Ava in almost despair.

Ava got the items she needed for the chest tube and started to open Will's chest, trying not to focus on anything else.

"We gonna need an OR-"

Connor was cut by a scream. Natalie was in the doorway, crying as all eyes were on her for a moment.

"What happened? Oh my God, Will."

Connor and Ava looked at each other, understanding what needed to be done.

"Right chest tube in. Going to the left side." Ava said.

Connor made his way to Natalie, her eyes begging for answer.

"It's a GSW, we don't know anything more than that" Connor almost screamed so Natalie could hear him from outside of the room. Maggie, who was now arriving, heard too. Maggie hugged Nat as she cried, but the nurse kept looking at Connor as he said "it's not good." without making any sound. Maggie eyes closed and she holded Nat a little closer.

"Still hypotensive, two more units of blood now." Connor ordered as Ava finished the last chest tube.

"Heart rate decreased from 140s to 120s" Announced one nurse.

"Let's get him in the OR NOW!" Connor yelled.

"OR 2 is available."

They started to move Will. Natalie tried to look but the amount of blood coming from him made her turn away and hide her face in Maggie's chest. Maggie just watched as Will was being transported to the OR. She stopped looking for a moment to check her surroundings, one cop was making a call, while the other was covering a body that stood in the middle of the hallway. Fresh blood still on the wall. Tears left her eyes without her knowledge. She watched as another alarm went off in the floor, this time coming from Nina Wheeler's room. She heard someone screaming Will's name, maybe it was the girl, but she couldn't do anything right now other than hold Nat.
