Kelly walked into the apartment he shared with Casey and Dawson. Tossing his keys on the table by the door and slipping off his shoes. He went and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

He popped the top and took a drink. A couple minutes later Casey and Dawson returned home. They found Kelly leaning against the counter in the kitchen. Dawson headed to bed.

Casey grabbed a beer and stood against the counter in front of Kelly. "How'd it go?"

"How do you think it went Casey?"

"Well your here so I'm guessing not good."

"You could say that." Kelly took a drink of his beer. "I kissed her."

Casey stopped mid drink. The beer bottle an inch from his lips. "You what?"

Kelly sighed. "I kissed her and it felt so amazing. But then her phone rang and it was Ruzek."

"Well she is dating him."

"No their not official. It's just a fling. Nothing serious." Kelly placed his beer on the counter

Casey looked confused. "And she told you that?" Kelly nodded his head. "Well that's interesting that she told you."

"I guess." Kelly picked his beer back up and took a drink. "I just keep thinking how if we didn't go to Miami for spring break we would probably be married now and have a few kids."

"It could still happen." Casey felt for Kelly. He has been there with him since the beginning of all this. He knows how much he cares for Shelby.

"Maybe." Kelly didn't want to get his hopes up. He still loved her and wanted to spend forever with her. But everything that had happened, he didn't know if she felt the same.

The two friends finished their beers and then headed to bed. It took Kelly a while to go to sleep. He laid down staring up at the ceiling wondering how different life could have been.

Next Shift

Shelby had just gotten a call from Adam about another body that squad 3 had responded too. Shelby was at work so she went out to her crew and told them to load up.

They headed to the address. When they pulled up squad 3 was still there. Shelby jumped down from the truck and headed inside the house. Her crew went over and talked with squad 3.

The house was just like the last one, abandoned. Shelby walked through the house till she found Adam and Kelly.

"Jensen?" Adam hadn't told Kelly he had called her or what her involvement was.

Shelby walked over and bent down next to the body. She removed the tarp to get a look at the body. Her heart sank. Another female, young, and throat slit. "Damnit." Shelby stood back up and faced Adam and Kelly. "It's him."

"We know. Shelby he left something behind this time." Adam had a clear bag in his hand.

"What is it Adam?" Adam handed her the bag. Shelby opened it to get a closer look. It was pictures of her. Shelby started flipping through the pictures. They were all recent. She came to the last photo of her and it had some hand writing on it. You couldn't save her. Now no one can save you. See You soon.

Shelby swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat.

"I don't want you by yourself ever. Not till this guy is caught."

"Adam..."

But Adam cut her off. "No. This is not up for discussion. He is blaming you for Tracy's death and he's coming for you. You are his end game."

"What is going on?" Kelly was now worried something was going to happen to Shelby and he wanted to know.

"Shelby is being targeted by a serial killer. He started in Kansas city after his girlfriend was killed. His girlfriend happened to be one of Shelby's best friends and Shelby responded to the fire but couldn't save her." Shelby was glaring at Adam. She didn't want to share this information with anyone else.

Kelly turned his attention to Shelby. "I'm with Ruzek on this one. Your not to be alone. Period."

"How the hell is that going to happen? I can't have a bodyguard 24/7." Shelby crossed her arms glaring at both men.

Ruzek raised an eyebrow at her comment. "You want to make a bet?"

"How Adam? How are you going to protect me 24/7 while chasing this guy?"

"I believe between Erin, Jay and me we will have you covered."

Kelly wasn't going to let anything happen to her. "I'll help too and I bet Casey will as well."

Adam smiled. "See we got you covered. I believe it will be in the best interest if you work at 51 till this is over."

"Your kidding right?" Shelby was not happy about this. She didn't want to work underneath Kelly. She wanted her squad.

"No Shelby I'm not." Adam walked closer to her. "I care about you and I want to make sure you are safe." Kelly had to bite his tongue and look away from them. It made his stomach turn thinking of her with someone else.

Shelby realized there was no point in arguing. She was going to be out numbered when it came to her safety. "Fine. But as soon as he is back in custody I'm going back to my own squad."

"Deal."

Shelby arrived at 51 for her next shift. It had been 3 days since the last body was discovered. Cruz had been sent to be Lieutenant on squad 6 till this was over.

Adam had practically moved into Shelby's apartment so he could always be there. Shelby was literally never alone. If Adam wasn't there then it was Jay or Erin.

Shelby had barely been able to convince them to let her drive to work by herself. Of course Adam followed her. Shelby grabbed her bag off the passenger seat and exited her car.

She waved bye to Adam and made her way up the driveway to 51. Kelly and his crew were already sitting at the squad table.

"Morning Jensen."

"Morning Severide."

"Let me show you around." Kelly got up from the squad table and began to give Shelby a tour of 51. She was assigned a temporary locker. Kelly left her alone in the locker room to change.

Shelby had finished changing but just sat down on the bench. She wanted to enjoy a few minutes by herself.

Casey entered the locker room and took a seat next to her. "How you holding up?"

"Honestly?" Casey nodded. "I haven't had a single minute alone since all of this happened. I just want this to be over. I don't want to be in this house. I want my squad back."

"I'm sure intelligence is working hard to catch this guy." Casey bumped her shoulder."And hey 51 is not that bad." Casey gave her a smile.

"You know what I mean Matt."

"Enlighten me?"

"Just awkward. Working with Kelly. Behind on the same team at that."

Casey sighed. "Its only awkward if you make it awkward."

Ambulance 61 Truck 81 Squad 3 Car accident on the freeway

Shelby and Matt jumped up and ran out to the trucks to head to the accident.

They pulled up to the scene. It wasn't just an accident it was a pile up. Everyone jumped down from their trucks while Chief Boden called for more assistance.

Severide's crew followed him as he assed the situation. "Start checking cars. See who we can get out quickly and who needs the most help!"

The firefighter of house 51 began running and checking on victims. Ambo 61 began to set up triage.

Shelby ran over to a pickup truck that was upside down. Shelby got down on her stomach and looked inside. There was a young kid sitting there bleeding.

"Hey can you hear me?" No response. Shelby felt for a pulse. She was relieved when she found one. She then got on her radio.

"Brett I need you over here now. The victim is unconscious but has a pulse."

Bretts voice came over the radio. "On my way."

Shelby began to assess how to get the guy out of the truck. she then got back on her radio. " Lieutenant I am going to need some help stabilizing this vehicle."

"On our way Jensen."

Shelby was waiting for re-enforcements but then the truck started the creak. Shelby looked around and realized the trucks roof had been comprised. "Shit."

"Severide where are you?"

"We are getting cribbing. Hold tight."

"The roof of this truck is going to give any minute."

"Jensen we are coming."

The truck began to make more noises and Shelby decided she couldn't wait. Shelby took over her coat and crawled into the truck around the victim and cut him lose from his seatbelt.

Shelby tied a rope around the victims shoulders. She then broke the passenger window and started to drag the guy out.

Kelly caught sight of what she had done. He dropped the cribbing and ran over and pulled Shelby out along with the victim just as the trucks roof gave in.

"What the hell Jensen?!" Kelly was furious with her for putting her life in damager. "You could of been seriously hurt."

Shelby stood up and brushed some debris from her pants. "Well I'm fine lieutenant." Shelby wasn't in the mood for Kelly being overprotective. She was the same rank as him.

"This conversation isn't over." Kelly left Shelby there with Brett to help get the victim on a stretcher and over to 61.
