The team started spreading out through the warehouse. I didn't find anything so I took my place behind my assigned wall. I'm pretty sure Voight chose this one for me because he didn't think my head was screwed on straight and he didn't want me in the way, he was probably right.

'Chicago pd don't move,' I heard Adam yell. Whoever it was didn't stop because seconds later I heard 'damn it' then my radio came to life.

'5021 Ida, offender is fleeing on foot. White male, mid 30's. He's wearing a grey jacket. Halstead he's coming to you.' I was so ready to smash whoever it was' face in, so I waited, ready to move, behind the wall. I waited until the person got past the wall before jumping on him and pinning him to the ground. I started swinging my fists and punching him wherever I could reach. I let out all the anger, and it felt good.

'You sick shit.' I yelled at Gibbs. 'How could you do that to her?'

I felt hands trying to pull me off of him but I kept swinging, until I was dragged completely off him and guided outside. I realised the hands pushing me were Haileys. Damn she was strong.

We need him alive for a confession and to find parker.' She said. 'You can have at him after that'.

'Fine'.

'Hey i know you. I know you can't deal with something unless you get your feelings out. So if you want to cry, go ahead, if you want to hit something I will drop you at Antonio's gym, if you want to talk I'm here.'

'I'm fine. I'm just worried about Ava.'

By now the whole team had gathered outside, the patrol car having taken Gibbs to the station.

'Bullshit your fine. Your sister has been missing for five years, and I know you blame yourself for it, which you shouldn't. Ava is then found, has been through a traumatic experience and you don't know how to help her. I can tell you haven't slept in ages and I know you're not taking care of yourself properly. So don't you go telling your fine. Just for once tell me exactly what you're thinking and feeling. I want to help you.'

'You want to know how I'm feeling. Alright here we go. Yes I blame myself because if I hadn't taken the sleeping pills I would have woke up and I could have saved her, but no, I can't deal with my problems so I took the easy way with the pills. Now I don't know how to help my extremely traumatized sister, who I have raised since she was 3. I don't even know who she is anymore. No I haven't been sleeping because she wakes up every hour with a nightmare and I have no idea what i'm supposed to do to help her. She won't talk to me, at the moment I think she trusts Casey more than me. So yeah, that's how I'm feeling. Is that what you want to hear?' I yelled.

I don't even know why I was yelling she was trying to help me. And now that i've said it, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Hailey looked unaffected by it. Everyone else looked taken aback by my outburst. My phone buzzed and I saw a message from Mouse. 'And now I'm going to med'. I left before anyone could speak or question me leaving. I walked to where I parked my truck and drove off. Mouse didn't exactly specify what happened, only that Casey had been calling me for the last half an hour, however I could only assume it was an original injury with a complication.

NOBODY POV

'What happened', Jay asked when he saw Matt.

'She was shot by one of the guys when she first tried to escape. She said she had been having this pain before but they drugged her up pretty quickly so she would be quiet. The bullet is pressing against her spleen. They took her into surgery to get it out', Matt answered.

'Thankyou for taking care of her. I'm glad she has someone other than me and Mouse.'

'Anytime man. She's a great kid.'

'Yeah, she is.' Both men sat in silence until Natalie came into the waiting room an hour or so later.

'Surgery went well, she's back in her room, you can go see her.' Jay stood up and went to sit with her after Casey promised he would fill in the Intelligence for him.

When I got to her room I pulled up the chair from the corner and dragged it next to her bed. I grabbed her hand and waited. And being a halstead, waiting was hard.
