Adam's P.O.V.
We had just gotten back to the precinct after going to the crime scene. There was no news about Lex, and whether or not she's ok. Kevin and I had stopped at Trudy's desk to tell her about everything we had found when the doors suddenly burst open. Everyone in the room turns to see Jay just standing there, with Kim behind him, scanning the room obviously looking for someone. When his eyes landed on Nolan you could see his whole body darken. Then Jay did the one thing that for the past few months I only thought Kevin would be pushed to do. He walked right up to Nolan, and the only ones who realized what he was gonna do were our team. I don't know whether it should be unfortunate that we couldn't stop him in time before he right hooked the man before pushing him up against the wall. Everyone just stood in shock, except for Kim who was working on getting Jay to let Nolan go. It took me, Kevin, and Kim before Jay's grip even loosened. When we finally got him to let Nolan go everyone finally got to hear why Jay lost control.
"That's my little sister! Lex didn't do anything to you!" We managed to pull Jay towards the stairs with Voight's help, who had come downstairs after hearing the commotion. Then, Nolan did something that made everyone want to kill him. With a smirk he said probably the worst thing possible.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Alexa knew the risk of taking that case.You should've taught her better Detective Halstead about the importance of the blue line."
Lex's P.O.V.
I had just gotten off the phone with Kim who told me that Jay didn't kill anyone. Although, he did right hook Nolan which if I didn't have to be professional I would've done multiple times before now. Right now I was just laying down in my room. It was really the first time since I woke up that I was alone for a long period of time. Will and Nat had been called in, and before that Owen was taken down to the in hospital daycare for a while so I could get some rest. That wasn't gonna happen. I mean I was asleep for god knows how long. I guess Doctor Rhodes also thought that I didn't need that much rest because he walked in with an older guy. The older guy came and sat at the chair by my bed while Connor checked my vitals.
"Hey Alexa this is Dr. Daniel Charles, and he's gonna talk to you for a bit. I'm gonna leave you two alone for a bit. If you need anything just ask a nurse to get me. Alright?" I nodded towards him before turning my head towards Dr. Charles. My guess is that he's some type of therapist.
"Well Ms. Halstead I'm here to talk to you about whatever you want." Yep I was right.
"I'm ok doctor...really. You don't have to do this. I've gone to therapy for years; I know how to cope with it." It seemed like he wasn't surprised with how I answered because he just nodded, and we sat there in silence for a while. He was probably thinking about another approach; probably going to go on the empathetic route.
"You know he doesn't do that with most people." This isn't how that path starts.
"What do you mean?" Who was he even talking about? His eyes just lit up; dang it I just walked right into his trap. Whatever it is that he's playing at.
"Connor...he cares about all of his patients, but I've never seen him check on one of them as much as he has with you." That doesn't mean anything.
"It could just be that I'm the little sister of his best friend." There was no way the hot doctor liked me...and I really have to stop calling him hot doctor.
"I don't know Ms. Halstead. I've known Connor a long time, and I've never seen him like this."
"He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. There's no way." Before he could respond I got a text from Kim saying that the whole Intelligence Unit was about to come up.
"Can we change topics though because I really don't want either of my brothers to hear us talking about guys: especially one that is Will's best friend." He sent me a smile and a nod before starting to leave.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Ms. Halstead, and if you ever want to talk I'm always open ears."
Daniel's P.O.V.
I had just left Alexa's room, and watched as everyone in the Intelligence Unit entered her room before going to find Connor. Surprisingly I was able to get a lot from her based on our conversation, and the gist I got from her therapist. I figured that Will and Jay were both already in their own emotional turmoil that they would run themselves thin. That's one of the reasons why I went to find Connor; the other one being that Connor was the one who asked me to talk to her. I found him in the breakroom alone, thankfully. As soon as he saw me he stood up.
"So…" I had to think about what I could tell him in order not to breach patient confidentiality.
"She's gonna go through a lot, and I feel like right now she's gonna try to push it down to make it easier on Jay and Will." At that he made a face.
"That's not healthy."
"No it's not, and at some point she's going to break, but she's not going to go to either of her brothers. Part of that is most likely because of how she grew up, and another part I'd place on the Halsteads' nature to try and protect everyone."
"So what can we do?"
"Be there for her because at some point she is going to break, but I'm almost positive she won't go to either of them."
"Yeah sure I'll stop by her room after visiting hours. Thanks Doc." After giving me a farewell his pager went off, and he was gone. I'd put money that those two are gonna be in some sort of relationship in the next couple of months. This will be interesting to see how it plays out.
