Chicago Fire, PD, and Med belong to Dick Wolf and NBC. I only own the situations I put them in. An alternative to "Fork In The Road" I know the events in that episode happened because Sophia Bush decided to leave the show but I thought of a different way things could've gone down.
Hank Voight's expression was serious as they headed to scene. Just what had Bunny gotten herself into this time? Can't believe she's trying to drag Erin down again, he thought. Well, he could, but…Alvin Olinsky stared at his friend.
"If she's done something stupid, we'll keep Erin out of it," he promised. I'll do anything to protect our girl, he thought to himself. And yes, he thought of Erin as his girl. And why not? He had known the detective since she was fifteen and living with Voight, so yeah, she had become like a daughter to him.
"Yup," Hank agreed. "Bunny? It's Hank," he reported, knocking on the door. To his surprise, the door swung open and immediately the two partners grabbed their guns and walked in, followed by the rest of the unit. Except for the occasional call of "Clear", the house was silent as they searched. Together, they headed to a back room. Suddenly, Hank stopped.
"Aw hell," he sighed, seeing Bunny's lifeless body.
"She can't see this," Alvin stated. It'll kill her, he thought. Yeah, they had their problems, but it was still her mother. Before Hank could respond, they heard footsteps.
"Hank, there's no one here. She must've played us again," Erin stated, disgust creeping into her voice.
"You need to leave," he told her, turning around.
"What? Why?" Erin demanded, bristling. How can he blame me for this? I didn't think she was playing us. She sounded genuinely scared, she seethed.
"Halstead, get her out of here," Hank ordered, his voice hardening. Sorry, Kiddo. But I'd rather have you pissed off at me, he thought to himself. Immediately, Jay started to pull Erin back but she yanked out of his grasp and started forward, Immediately, the sergeant went to block her view and with a glare, she pushed past him, freezing when she saw the scene.
"Oh my…" Erin's eyes widened as her face paled and Hank drew her into his arms, sitting her down, his body in front of her to block her view. "Oh….mother…" she sobbed, leaning into him.
"We are going to find this guy, you hear me? They won't get away with it. We will avenge her." He may have hated Bunny with a passion and he may have wanted to off her himself at times, but he would never hurt Erin like that. Someone had done this and he was going to find out who.
