There was about a minute of silence while the shock of Mouses statement sunk in.
'Jay doesn't have a sister. He would have said something', Hailey said.
'Yes he does. Her name is Ava Maria Halstead, she turns 14 next week.'
'Why didn't jay say something'
'He was ashamed. Back when Jay was working on the 36th, he was going through a pretty rough patch. He was having nightmares every night and it was scaring the crap out of her. She was only 8, she didn't know what to do about it. So she told me, I managed to convince Jay to go talk to someone. They prescribed him sleeping pills, they would keep him out all night and he wouldn't have any nightmares. One night someone broke in and snatched Ava, but Jay didn't hear a thing. Next morning he woke up and she was gone. All he found was blood. Her blood. He thinks it was his fault she got taken. He thinks that if he could have handled the nightmares better, he wouldn't have needed the pills and he would have heard them come in.'
By the end of Mouses explanation, Hailey and Rojas had tears in their eyes, and everyone else looked shell shocked.
"We're going to med, jay needs support right now and we are going to give it to him. Whatever he needs' '. Voight stated. Everyone packed up their things and within 20 minutes they were walking through the doors to the ER of Chicago Med. Mouse immediately spotted jay sitting on one of the unforgiving plastic chairs the hospital had to offer, with his head in his hands, and his body occasionally heaving as another silent sob tore through him.
Mose signalled for the team to keep their distance, as Mouse slowly made his way over sitting next to him and gently rubbing his back as they waited for who knows how long for someone to give them an update.
The others in the room carefully made their way over patting jay lightly on the back before taking a seat, letting him know they were there for him.
