Milady29 and I(sarrabr4) are super happy with the reception of this story by everyone and we love writing it. This chapter is a joint effort because as you know, she's in Australia and having fun (hope so) but works super hard so she cooked up part of it (before going to sleep) and I picked up the rest of it. We hope you'll like it.
BTW, there might me a few coarse words in this chapter, just so you are all warned.
"I am done. I can't do this anymore!'' Matt said then as Kelly looked at the pictures, not sure what to say.
''Look Matt, I am really sorry, I hope that you blame this on Voight and not on me.''
''Oh I sure will!'' Matt gritted his teeth. ''He had promised to keep an eye on her and he didn't hold his end of the deal.'' Matt suddenly turned around and left Kelly's office, Kelly trying to catch up to him. "We're going for a ride." He told his team and everyone from 81 stood up and followed their lieutenant.
"Casey, wait up. I'm coming with you." The rest of the house had seen what happened but were left in confusion as to what was really going on. The drive to 21 wasn't long and Matt jumped out of the truck, Kelly right behind him. The rest of truck looked on confused as the two lieutenants entered the building.
"I need to have a word with Voight." He tried not being too rude to Platt, know how the desk Sargent had an explosive temper.
"Wait a little bit." She rang upstairs, telling the IU receptionnist that lieutenant Casey needed a word with Voight. "He can't see you right now lieutenant, you'll have to come back."
"The hell I am." He turned around fast enough and went up the stairs two at a time until he was at the gate, not being able to go further without a code. "VOIGHT." He bellowed. There wasn't any doors other than the metal one in front of him stopping his voice to go through. Lindsay came down the stair two at a time.
"Are you trying to get yourself kicked out?" She seethed.
"I need to talk to Voight." Matt was being pissed and Lindsay quickly let him in. He followed behind her, Kelly next to him until they reached the top stair.
"I don't appreciate you interrupting one of my cases." Voight was none too pleased with the two lieutenants barging into his bullpen.
"Well I wouldn't have to if you held your end of the deal."
"My office." Voight stood by his office door, letting both Casey and Severide in along with Lindsay before closing the door behind them all. "You two care telling me what's going on?" He sat behind his desk.
"You said you'd protect my wife." Casey let the anger course through him because this latest stunt made all rationality hit the fan.
"And we have been detailing her."
"YOU CALL THIS PROTECTING MY WIFE?" Casey violently threw the envelope on Voight's desk, pictures spilling over on it. Voight took it and looked at the pictures one at a time.
"When did you get those?"
"Does it even matter? Your job was to keep her safe, I counted on you to keep her safe while I'm on shift."
"She is safe, trust me."
"TRUST YOU? How am I supposed to TRUST you, if you can't keep my WIFE AND UNDORN CHILD SAFE from these lunatics? They followed her everywhere she went, the store, on her daily walk and at Shay's GRAVE."
"They've been following me also." Severide was getting angry too.
"What's going on in here?" Antonio didn't even bother to knock on Voight's door before he walked in.
"This doesn't concern you Dawson."
"When it has something to do with my sister, it sure as hell concerns me. I'll ask again, what's going on in here?"
Voight and Lindsay proceeded in telling Antonio about the fire 51 has responded to and how they had asked Casey and Severide's help to determine that it was arson. Then Casey and Severide told him about Matt's truck and Kelly's window before finally telling him what happened at Shay's grave.
"Have you told Gabby?" He directed his question to Casey.
"I wanted to but she's been stressed out a bit and tired, I didn't want to pile it on."
"That was a dick move Casey. She'd be pissed if she knew about this."
"I'm just trying to protect my family Antonio." Casey defended his actions to his brother-in-law. "I would never let anything happen to her."
"Let's just hope for your sake that this doesn't blow up in your face and that my sister won't get hurt in the process." Dawson wasn't very happy with the way Casey had handled it so far and then he turned to Voight. "I want in on this investigation."
"You're too invested in it Dawson, I can't let you."
"So it's ok to involve two fire fighters that aren't part of this unit, one that is my sister's HUSBAND no less and I'm too invested in it? That's bullshit and you know it. What's our next move?"
"We wait for them to get sloppy. Until then, we add extra surveillance on your sister."
"You may be ok with putting my wife's life in more danger waiting for them to be sloppy but I sure as hell aren't."
"Sloppy, really?" Severide wasn't happy either. "They've already been SLOPPY. They thrashed Shay's GRAVE, isn't that SLOPPY enough for you?"
"Did you see who's been following you?" Voight completely ignored Severide's angry stance, suddenly crossing his arms over his chest, a low growl escaping his lips.
"Black sedan. I noticed it while on a run day before last."
"And did you see a similar car around your house Casey?"
"Not while I've been there." Casey let a sigh escape his lips.
"You need to tell your wife Casey." Lindsay finally spoke up for the first time since they all entered the small office.
"I don't want to put some extra stress on her, she has enough as it is."
"If you don't tell her, I will." Antonio finally said, upset with Matt.
"You don't get to decide that Antonio." Anger flashed in Matt's eyes as Antonio insinuated that he wasn't taking care of his sister properly.
"Than man up and tell her." He growled.
"That's enough, walk it off Antonio." For once Antonio didn't argue with his Sargent and turned around before banging the door on his way out.
"You need to find out who did this to Shay's grave before I do it for you." Severide turned around and walked out of Voight's office.
"I swear nothing better happen to both Gabby and my son otherwise it's on your head Voight." Matt pointed an accusing finger in Voight's direction before going off after Kelly.
"Put an extra detail on Gabriella Dawson and put someone on the black sedan's." Voight instructed Linday who nodded and left his office, leaving him to think. This investigation was getting out of hand fast and they needed to get it over with.
Both lieutenants went down the district stairs, anger still boiling inside them. Severide hopped in the back of truck while Casey took his spot up front, slamming his door shut. "We're going back to 51." he announced, Cruz driving them back home. As soon as all the guys from 51 came out of the truck, the overhead paging system called them to a building fire in the industrial part of town. They quickly jumped back in as did Squad and went to the scene, sirens blazing. Everyone came out of their respective vehicles and Boden called out his orders to Truck and everyone did what they were ordered. Matt went in with Herrmann and Cruz while Otis and Mouch took the back of the warehouse.
''Boden, Gabby went into labor in the hospital.'' He suddenly heard the dispatch of 51 over the radio and since Kelly was standing next to Boden, he had heard it too.
''How? She's way too early to go into labor.'' Kelly said worried and Boden grabbed his radio.
''Is she doing okay?'' Boden asked and Kelly bit his lip, as he looked at the smoking building. Casey was still in there and Dawson would need him by her side right now.
''911 dispatch don't know. All they know is that she called an ambulance and that she is on her way to the hospital now." 51 said over the radio.
Casey, Herrmann and Cruz were doing a primary search in the main area of the small warehouse and it was starting to be extremely hot in there. Both firefighters had found victims and were bringing them out when Casey pushed past the heat, looking for more potential victims. Flames were licking at his jacket sleeves but he was trying to be thorough when his radio came to life.
''Casey!'' He heard Kelly's voice right before an explosion right in front of him propelled him on his back, everything suddenly turning black.
a/n: Casey finally gives Voight a piece of his mind...and don't we love that. But now Antonio knows about it and isn't too happy with Matt but will Matt be ok for Antonio to really get mad at him or will the fire bring bigger consequences?
