"Kelly please." Libby said standing up and putting her hands on her hips. "You need to tell me what's going on!' "They want me to go undercover." "What? No way!" "You really have no say in the matter." Voight said. "Like hell she is my wife." "Oh now I am your wife? That's really rich Kelly, was I your wife when you were sleeping with Renee? What about Riley huh?" "That's not the point Lib. Do you even know what are you are getting yourself into?" "I do." She said, "I need to do this."
"What is some sort of sick need to prove you are just as good as Erin or your brothers?" "No." She recoiled like his words had smacked her. "I am doing this because it's the right thing to do. Because right now what I have been doing isn't doing anything to make me happy." "Meaning me." "No. Don't put words into my mouth Kelly. Meaning that being a paramedic right now isn't making me happy. Being in a place that has happy memories of you and I being together is hurting me. Feeling like Riley and I don't mean a damn to you is hurting me. I need to do this for me." She said, "And you really can't do a fucking thing to stop me."
Hermann who knew Libby best inhaled sharply the only time she used those words was when she was really upset and hurting. And for the last few weeks since Kelly had been with Renee she had been hurting. And they couldn't do anything to stop it. Expect to let her do things that was going to let her stop hurting. And this, going undercover would help.
"What about our daughter?" Kelly asked, the anger that he had was shimmering, knowing now that he had hurt Libby so much after he promised and swore up and down that he wasn't going to do it. "She is going to stay with me and Cindy." Christopher answered, 'It will keep her safe." "Fine." The leader of the rescue squad said holding his hands up and walking out of the room. Casey following him to make sure he stayed out of the room.
"Sorry." Libby said sitting back on the table, "Things have been a little tense since he met Renee." "I am surprised you haven't taken swings at her." The officer with sandy hair said. "I don't need too, I know deep down that he is mine. I just have to wait for him to remember that." "Don't wait too long. Girls like you are diamonds in the rough." Antonio leaned over and smacked him upside the head. "Don't worry about Ruzek he is still a little new." "And I am going to be working with him?"
The anger and sadness that Libby's voice held was gone and she seemed almost amused. "Correct and Halstead too." "Will's brother right?" "Right. How do you know my brother?" "We got into trouble a couple of times when Michael was alive. Me being the granddaughter of the commissioner helped a lot." Libby answered, she wasn't going to let them know exactly how well she knew Will and how much trouble she had actually gotten into.
That was a story for another time.
"Are you will be okay being away from Riley?" Antonio asked watching the young paramedic who sighed before nodding her head.
"Hermann and Cindy will send me pictures and updates. I need to do this Antonio. And Kelly was right a small part of me wants to prove that I am just as good as my older brothers and sister. It sucks being the youngest with 4 older siblings to outshine." "Makes sense, we had the same thing in our family too." Jay said, he was already liking her. "Go get your stuff, we need you to fill out paperwork." Voight said. She nodded her head and stood up and exited the room quickly and to where Shay was standing waiting for her.
"Keep an eye on her, she is floundering and struggling she is playing it off like she isn't but she is." "We got her don't worry."
"Kelly in there?" Libby asked once Shay released her from her embrace. "Yeah, he is pretty upset about something." "I know, I should go talk to him before they take me down to the district." 'What's going on?" "Ask Casey, I really can't talk about it.' She returned before she pushed opened the bathroom door.
Her husband was standing in front of the sinks looking at his reflection. "Kel.' She started. "I am sorry Lib." he said cutting her off before she could go on any further. "I should have known that this would hurt you. Me being with Renee. But I didn't care. I wanted something I couldn't have but the truth was. I already had everything I ever needed.' Tears stung her eyes and she looked down quickly so he won't see the tears that rose up. He went over to her and tipped her chin up so she would look him in the eyes. "When you get back we will work this out." She nodded her head, her breath hitching in her throat. His lips had just touched hers when the alarm started going off. "Ambulance 61, Truck 51, Squad 3." He groaned and twined her hair between his fingers. "Go. Be superman, I will call you later."
