Hey guys sorry it took so long to update! I'm back again though :)
Disclaimer: See Chapter One
As soon as Jays head had hit the floor the whole team was up. Ruzek quickly called an ambulance.
"They will be here in 10 minutes." Ruzek stated hanging up his phone.
Erin was down on the ground next to Jay, she was trying he best to wake him up but she was having no luck. Erin was almost on the verge of tears, what was happening to him? She thought as she gently ran her fingers over his sweaty forehead. As he started to convulse Erin yelled to the team, "Where's those medics?!" Ruzek looked back at her.
"They should be here any minute." Ruzek said as he kept glancing down at the street hoping to see the ambulance pull up. Shortly after Erin asked Jay stopped convulsing and the EMT's arrived. They began to do a few test on Jay and then loaded him into the ambulance. After he was loaded in Ruzek and Erin hopped in her car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
As they waited in the waiting room a doctor came out to greet them.
"Family of Jay Halstead?" The doctor asked. They all nodded. The doctor gave them a grim look, then looked back down at his papers not wanting to look them in the eyes. "We've detected that there may be traces of Dimethylmercury in his system. This is extremely lethal. Most of the cases we've had with such a toxin has resulted in mortality. It seems to be that he had been exposed to this a few months ago which gives us a very slim chance of being able to fix the damages it has already done. I know this is not the news you wanted to hear but this is what is happening. We will do our best to hope your friend, but I'm afraid it doesn't look good." The doctor looked at them with a sad expression waiting for them to respond.
The first person to respond was Ruzek who grabbed the closet object to him which happened to be a chair and he punched it, letting out a frustrated cry.
Erin just stood staring at the doctor in disbelief. She had to go see him. "I need to see him." Erin demanded the doctor. The doctor informed her that he was still sleeping, but she didn't care she just wanted to be with him right now.

Antonio and Voight arrived at the hospital about two hours after the incident had occurred. They needed to wrap up the case they had been working, they had no idea the seriousness of Jays condition.
When they arrived they saw Ruzek sitting in the waiting room with his head in his hands. He looked beyond stressed.
"What's the word?" Voight asked Ruzek. Ruzek gave him a sad look and shook his head "It doesn't look good for him sir" Ruzek said looking into Voights eyes.
Antonio looked down with a sigh. "Do they know what's wrong?" Ruzek nodded and told them of the Dimethylmecrury and lethalness. Antonio shook his head in disbelief how could this be happening to him? how did he even come in contact with this stuff? Then it hit him. "Jay was injected when he had been taken right?" Antonio asked Voight nodded. "Maybe that's was they injected him with! Maybe those stupid sons of bitches did this to him!" Antonio said his voice raising with every word. "They didn't even bother to check for it.

Erin sat by Jays bed for hours. There was no change in his status, however they were working on getting the cure. They were unsure though how effective it would be this far into the poisoning. Erin let a few tears slip from her cheek as she held onto Jays hand praying he would pull through this.
After about two hours Voight, Ruzek and Antonio joined her in the room with Jay.
"Anything change?" They asked her she shook her head as she looked down at the ground. Then a doctor came in and did a few more tests on Jay to make sure at the time he was stable.
After the doctor had left Antonio decided that he better go home to his wife and son. He told them to call him if he woke up or if anything has changed. Erin nodded and said goodbye to Antonio.
Soon everyone else left except for Erin who eventually fell asleep in chair next to Jays hospital bed. Her dreams were plagued with the thought of Jays death. She woke up and immediately her eyes fell on Jay. It looked as though he was trying to open his eyes.
"Jay?" Erin asked.
His eyes pooped open and he started gasping for air.
Again I am very sorry for the late updates. Finals are coming up soon and I've had so much work to do. But I do hope you enjoyed the chapter I'll get the next one up as son as possible.
