Chapter 21

Erin's Point of View

The following morning after Alex walked in on Jay and myself in the shower was incredibly awkward. I was in the kitchen making coffee when I heard Alex get up and walk to the bathroom. She crept up to the door and I heard her knock. "Als, what the hell are you doing?" I laughed as I sipped my coffee. "JESUS!" She cried as she jumped. "I was making sure I wasn't going to see Jay's bare ass standing in the bathroom again. Or yours for that matter." She mumbled. "Huh. I guess I didn't apologize for that kid. Um sorry?" I replied.

"Whatever unless you can remove memories that are engraved in my brain, I don't think, I will ever get over it. However….." she smiled. "What? What do you want?" I laughed. "Well in my horror I dropped my iPod and it sort of smashed on the tiles. So a new one might help me forget my traumatic experience." She grinned. "Fine after work I will get you a new one ok?" I replied. "Thanks mom." She laughed as she walked into the bathroom.

An hour later we were at the station I bid Alex goodbye at the bottom of the stairs before heading up to the office. It was the first time I was going to see Voight and Jay since our awkward moment in my apartment. As I rounded the corner I saw both Jay and Voight had already arrived, as had the rest of the team. "Nice of you to join us Lindsay, have a night with the fireman?" Antonio joked as I sat down. Jay caught my eye but looked away almost immediately as he thought Hank was watching.

"Ok now that we are all here, we can get started. We are looking for this man." Voight said as he put up a mug shot on the board. "We don't have a name yet, but last night he was seen dealing some pretty serious drugs at a night club." Voight explained. "So we hit the streets ask around?" Ruzek asked. "Yeah that's the idea, asked your CI'S see if that know anything." Voight told us. At that point we got up to go, like we did all the time. Except Voight stopped me. "Lindsay your with me." He said. "HANK? How many times do we have to tell you we are not together?" I argued. "This isn't about that." He replied "Oh ok, well what is it?" I asked.

"Jay, go with Ruzek and Olinsky." Voight said as he led me into his office closing the door. "What is it?" I asked concerned. "Justin." He replied. "Is he ok?" I replied. "Yeah, he is getting out and I was hoping we could have dinner tonight." Voight said. "You know just the three, well four if you want to ask Alex. I mean she is part of the family now." He added. "Of course I am up for dinner, I will ask Alex but I don't think she will go. She isn't up for going out much, you know after her friends kind of tried to kill us." I told him. "Have you talked to her about it?" he asked concerned. "I tried, but she blew me off. I even asked Lizzy for help but she was out of ideas. Told me I had more chance of figuring out than her." I replied.

"Well she is right, you have a good relationship with her. Just talk to Alex, make sure she is ok. And as for dinner I will ask her, make her go. It will be good for her, plus Justin will love the fact he has someone younger in the family." Voight smiled. "Yeah he always wanted a younger sibling to pick on!" I laughed. "So your ok for dinner?" Hank smiled. "I am." I replied. "Ok good, so um Erin…." He began to say, but he trailed off. "Yeah?" I said, trying to get him to continue. "Never mind. Come on we have a case to work." He said, totally changing the subject. I decided not to press the matter and instead followed him out of the office. So I could go and call my CI'S.

An hour or so later Jay and the others returned. "Anything?" I asked as they each sat down. "Nothing." Jay grumbled, with his adorable mad face. I couldn't help but smirk as he sat pouting in his chair. However I didn't get to look long as Voight came out. He was in the middle of saying something but I didn't catch it as my phone buzzed.

"Cant keep your eyes off me can you? x" my message read, from Jay.

"You had to be looking to, if you saw me x" I replied.

"I like that top, makes you look hot x" he text back.

"Well maybe if you're nice you can take it off later tonight x" I sent.

"Am I interrupting something?" Voight said suddenly, making me jump. "Um no, just a CI." I blushed. "Sure?" he questioned. I nodded in response. "Halstead? You texting a CI to?" he said turning his attention to Jay. "Um- Um no." Jay mumbled. "Then what are you doing?" Voight hissed. "Looking up iPods, for Alex." Jay lied. "iPods?" Voight said, not impressed. "Yeah she broke hers, kind of my fault." Jay replied. "Can it wait till after WORK?" Voight yelled impatiently. "Yes boss, sorry." Jay said not daring to look at me or to touch his phone again.

After Voight finished talking I took the time to slip downstairs to talk to Alex. "Hey everything ok?" she asked as I walked over to her. "Um yeah but I need a favour?" I replied. "Ok what?" she asked. "I need you to distract Voight for me." I explained. "How? And why?" she questioned. "How is up to you but please me creative, Voight is keeping Jay and myself apart and I don't like it. As for why, well I think I explained that is the how part." I rambled. "Mother for the record are you asking me to distract your boss/father figure so you can get in a booty call from Jay?" she smirked.

"Does that make me and awful parent?" I cried. "No, well maybe, I don't know." Alex laughed. "So will you do it?" I asked. "Go, be with Jay leave Voight to me." She grinned. "AHH thanks kid!" I cried pulling her into a hug before racing back upstairs.

A few minutes later Alex came up, and asked Voight if he had a minute. He nodded and the two of them went into the office and closed the door. "Jay want to go and talk to the CI I was texting earlier?" I said. "Sure Erin. Now?" Jay replied. I nodded and he got up and followed me downstairs. "I really hope there is no CI." He laughed as we headed for my car. "Well I actually do have one, but I was hoping we could make a stop at my apartment first?" I winked. "Oh totally!" he grinned as we sped off…..

Ok so that was chapter 21, hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
