Jay felt as his phone was taking from his hand and his wallet from his pocket and he fell backwards against the wall, in the dirty kicked back, manage to kick one against the knee and almost grab his phone, only to get another punch in the face. The muggers ran away and he tried to crawl up, but his head hurt to bad and his foot was stuck under the container and he sighed, tried to pull his foot lose but he was stuck and worried he started to call out to the people on the street. He held his back as the muggers hadn't taken it and pressed it against his chest, as it was the last things of worth he still had, as it contained all the papers about his father. He also made sure that his police badge was still there and he was glad it was.
Finally a girl saw him and ran up to him.
''Sir, sir? Are you okay? You are bleeding.'' She asked him worried.
Jay nodded slowly and she helped Jay up, getting his foot from under the container.
''Can I use your phone for a second?'' He asked then and the girl handed him her phone. Quick he opened his back and took the memo with Erin's phone number.
''Babe...I...I got lost. Can you pick me up?'' Jay said then with a shaking voice and he told Erin where he was and gave the phone back to the girl, thanking her for helping him and after she walked off he grabbed his stuff together, made sure there was nothing left on the ground and slowly walked out of the alley, leaning against the wall as his ankle and foot hurt from the container and he waited for Erin, clutching his bag as he was afraid somebody would take it away as well. Some people, looked at him, worried as his head a was bleeding, but they didn't dare to ask him as he seemed to scared and they didn't want to startle him.
He sighed relieved as he saw Erin running his way over the sidewalk and he stood up and she pulled him in her arms.
''I was so bloody worried about you.'' She cried as she laid her head on his shoulder and then look up, carefully caressed his face.
''What happened?''
''I...I am sorry, I lost everything.'' He cried, feeling bad as he hadn't been able to fight the men off and get his phone back. She took his arm as they walked to the car and he tried to keep from sobbing. He felt so awful he had lied to her and had lost the way and worse, had lost his stuff.
He sat down sideways in the car as she looked at his face, worried.
''I think we should get you checked out at the ER.''
''No.'' He said firmly as he sat down in the car and swayed the door closed. Upset Erin walked around the car and got in at the driver's side. Jay looked away from her and worried she looked at the dried blood on his chin and nose.
''But what about your nose?'' She asked worried. It didn't seem broken but she was worried it was as there was a lot of blood but he looked at her, mad.
''I just want to go home.'' He said upset he laid his hand against his face and Erin knew she wasn't going to get anything done with him instead of going home and she would keep an eye on him. She didn't want upset him even more by taking him to the ER against his will and she decided it was better to just go home and she did so.
She also wondered how he came in this side of Chicago if he was at the hospital but it was not a time to ask now...maybe later tonight...maybe tomorrow. It worried her, she didn't like he was keeping things from her.
''Jay?'' she asked then as they almost passed their favorite drive through restaurant, hoping she could cheer him up a little bit.
''Do you want something to eat? Or drink.''
He looked at her for a second and back out of the window. ''No.''
''I am think I am going to get one of these Chicago style mozzarella pizza that you like so much.''
Jay shrugged, still upset and worried Erin drove through the drive-trough hoping that he would eat something at home and after she was handed the pizza they drove home, Jay still silent.
''Jay, don't get so upset. We will get you a new phone...was there anything important in your wallet?'' She asked as she parked the car.
''Just a picture of you. I used all my money for dinner.'' He said and she nodded, glad all of his passes where still in a drawer in the kitchen.
''They didn't steal my badge and my case though.'' He said as he pointed at the bag and Erin raised one brow:
''Why were you carrying your badge?''
''I didn't go the hospital today...I worked on my case.'' He said and he sighed. ''And I visited a Jurgen Halstead. Not my dad. Nice man though.''
Slowly they got out of the car and Erin held the pizza a little awkward as she was also holding Jay. She was keeping an eye o nhis because she knew a hit on the head could cause seizures and she put him down on the couch as she walked to the kitchen, to get a plate and a cooling pack for him and she handed him one.
''I don't nee-''
''Put it on your face.''
Grumbling Jay laid it against his swollen eye and Erin started eating. Halfway during the movie he suddenly looked at her.
''Are you going to finish that whole pizza?'' He asked then with a small smile on his face and smiling she handed him a plate with a piece and he looked a little lost as he was still holding the cooling pack against his face and she took it back and brought a piece to his mouth with a fork.
''Oh, we are going down this road again.''
She laughed as she kept feeding him the pizza and as they were both tired of the long day and he finally laid the ice pack down, his eye already bruised, as well as his cheek and she laid her hand against it, carefully and hoped that it only would be bruised for a while, but he was fine other than that. She had cleaned the blood away and was glad it didn't seem to be from a broken nose. Hopefully his eye wouldn't get to bad either.
''You can tell tough stories in the office tomorrow.''
''I fought a whole gang.''
''Totally.'' She laughed as they walked to the bedroom and got ready for bed.
''undress, then jammies.'' She said as she got undressed for bed and he nodded as he still got lost in the order of getting ready for bed from time to time.
In bed they cuddled up and Erin laid against Jay.
''I am so proud you are looking for your father and how much effort you put in it.'' She told him then and she laid her head on his chest, smiling at him.
''But you don't want me to go alone, do you?''
She shrugged with a smile. ''I'd like to help you, but it is your case and your job, detective Halstead.''
''I'd love you to help me, detective Lindsay...but only with driving the car.''
She laughed as she kissed him.
''You are going to find him, I am sure.'' She said then, knowing Jay would find him eventually.
NOTE: awww poor Jay, he lost his phone but at least Erin comforted him instead of getting mad. Do you think she did this well or should she haven gotten more mad he lied at her and he didn't tell her where he was going?
But did Jay really walk off with a beaten face, broken ego and a missing phone or is he keeping something from Erin again?
