Erin arrived at the construction site and saw that everyone was already there. "Hey, Antonio. Are we all ready to go?"

"Yeah, Voight is just going over the plan with Casey and Severide in case we need them."

"Good. I just hope she is in there. I don't think Jay can take any more dead ends." Antonio squeezed Erin's shoulder, showing comfort as Voight walked up to the group.

"Okay, here is the plan. Erin, Antonio, you will come with me through the side door that we saw Jace enter before. Ruzek and Olinsky, you two take the service entrance at the back and Burgess and Atwater, you two take the front entrance. We have the cooperation of hotel management, so they know we are coming. We have the place surrounded and he is not going to get away this time. Let's go."

Everyone went to their assigned areas and entered the building. Erin, followed by Antonio and Voight, headed towards the door that Jace had been entering. Antonio checked Jace's van as the passed; it was empty except for some tools. As they approached the door they realized that they wouldn't be able to break it down.

"Call Severide and see if he and his crew can widen the door so we can get it open."

As Erin called Kelly, Voight and Antonio tried to look through the windows to see if they could see anything. "I am not seeing any movement. Severide on his way?"

"Yeah, he said to give him a couple minutes but they should be able to get the door open." Erin responded.

Severide showed up and got to work on the door with the help of Capp. The door started to separate and they were able to finally get the door open. Just as Severide swung the door open someone was coming up the stairs right on the other side.

"Jace Holman, freeze. You are under arrest for the kidnapping of Lydia Halstead." Antonio shouted. Jace froze for a second and then took off back down the stairs. "Why do they never freeze?" Antonio muttered under his breath as he, Erin and Voight took of after Jace.

The basement of the hotel was like a maze, hallways leading to dead ends and doors everywhere, one that hopefully lead to Lydia. "Erin, start breaking down every door and find her. We will take him down."

Erin started opening up every single door and nothing. Behind every door was just storage. She passed by a hallway that was dimly lit and decided to walk down. At the end there was a small hallway leading to a door that had a padlock on it. Realizing she wouldn't be able to get it open herself, she called Kelly, "Kelly, its Erin. I need you to come down here and get a padlock off the door. Could you bring Sylvie and Gabby with you? I think Lydia might be behind this door."

She walked up to the door and put her ear against it to try and see if she could hear anything. She knocked slightly on the door, nothing. She didn't want to assume the worst, but that didn't stop her gut from heading in that direction.

"Hey." She heard Kelly say from behind her as he appeared in the hallway with Sylvie and Gabby behind him, "you ready?" he asked.

"Yeah, let's get in there." She replied.

Kelly broke the padlock and moved out of the way so Erin, Sylvie and Gabby could enter the room. It was dark so Erin handed Kelly her flashlight to shine around the room. It was more of a closet than a room and right in the corner was a girl. She was huddled in a ball in the corner wearing the same thing that she was in the picture that was thrown through the diner window. Erin stood back as Sylvie and Gabby walked up to the girl.

"She's breathing but they are short breaths like she is gasping for air." Gabby said as she continued her evaluation, "Can you hear me? If you can hear me, try to move your hand that I am holding onto." A few seconds went by without any movement and then Gabby felt a slight squeeze on the hand she was holding, "Alright, she heard me. We have to get her to med right away."

As Sylvie and Gabby were getting the girl onto the board and putting a mask on her, Antonio's voice came over Erin's radio, "We got him Erin. He put up a fight and he will have to go to Med, but we got him. Did you find Lydia?" Erin hesitated before answering, "We found a girl. We don't know if it is Lydia yet, but Sylvie and Gabby are about to load her into the Ambulance. I am going to go with them."

"Sounds good, we will meet you there."

Erin followed the girls and Kelly up the stairs and she got in the back with Gabby.


The ambulance pulled into the hospital and Conner was there waiting with Maggie to get the girl in as quick as possible. "What's the verdict?" Conner asked as Gabby and Sylvie pulled the girl out of the ambulance.

"She has short and quick breathing, cuts and bruises all over her body, and she has been unconscious for most of the ride."

"Let's get her into room 1 and see what we need to do." Maggie said and called for April and Natalie to assist Conner.

They got to work on the girl and Erin waited by the front desk. Sylvie and Gabby walked by and told Erin that they would be back later, probably with the rest of Firehouse 51 after their shift ended. She felt someone come up behind her.

"Is that her?" Will asked.

"I don't know yet. Did Jay find out where I went?"

"Yep. I wouldn't go in there unless you want a fight. He isn't very happy with you or your team right now."

"I can handle myself. Thanks Will." Erin said as she walked towards the room Jay was in.

They had locked the door to the staff lounge from the outside so he wouldn't get out. Erin looked though the window and saw Jay asleep on the couch. She asked Maggie to unlock the door for her but then lock it after she went in so Jay couldn't escape. She walked in and heard the lock click behind her. She pulled a chair up to where Jay's head was and sat down. She started to run her fingers through his hair and before long, he started to wake up.

"Hey. How are you?" She asked him quietly.

Jay scoffed, "I cannot believe you left me here. Once I found out where you went, god Erin, how could you do that?"

"You threatened to kill him, Jay. Voight didn't want you near the hotel in case he was there."

"Was he?"

Erin took a deep breath before replying, "Yes. He is in police custody and on his way here because Antonio said he needed to be checked out by a doctor."

"That shithead does not deserve to be treated." He rolled over onto his back and looked at the ceiling. "Did you fine her?"

"Jay, we found someone. We don't know if its Lydia yet. It looked like she had the same cut on her face from the picture, but I can't say for sure. Conner is checking her over to see if she needs any surgery. She wasn't breathing very well when we got here and was unconscious."

Jay tried to hold back the tears that were forming in his eyes but he couldn't. Erin leaned down and kissed Jay's forehead before wiping the tears from his face.

She heard a knock at the door and looked up, it was Connor. She got up and walked to the door, "Did you find out anything?"

He nodded, "Her shoulder was dislocated and she had a few cuts that needed stitches. She was also very under nourished, probably from not being fed and beaten and she does show signs of being raped. Erin, we ran her blood just in case she was in our system."

"Is it her?"

"We ran it multiple times to be sure. We even ran it against Will's."

"And?"

"It's her. It's Lydia."
