- Sergeant Platt have you seen Jay? - Upton asked
- I think I caught a glimpse of him while he was leaving. He seemed to be in a hurry. - She replied.
- Thanks - replied the detective.
- Hey Hayley, are there any problems? - asked the sergeant.
She just shrugged as she walked out of the precinct.
She began looking far and wide for him. No trace of Jay.
- Jay, where are you? Jay ...-
Meanwhile, the colleague was already slowly recovering. He couldn't figure out where he was. He felt dizzy.
He had opened his eyes for a few seconds and had already understood that he was lying on the asphalt.
Slowly, with great effort he managed to sit up with his back leaning against the wall.
It was white, very pale. Everything around him was slightly in motion. It was an annoying feeling. The detective opened and closed his eyes several times to understand where he was exactly.
Drawing on all his strength, she stood up and staggering away from the wall he started walking again.
It was then that Hayley saw him. He thanked God for bringing him to her and immediately approached him.
He was happy to see her.
When she saw him the detective was more worried, he was like a reed in the wind and the fresh air of Chicago made him tremble.
Immediately she Hayley put the jacket on his shoulders and she was about to hug him to warm him when something happened that she did not expect.
Halstead's legs gave out. They bent abruptly. The detective was about to fall to the ground again, this time to his knees, were it not for the colleague who was supporting him.
Hailey was using all her strength to hold him up and try to move him into the precinct to make him sit up.
Come on Jay! Let's go a little effort, let's enter the district, so you sit down to rest.
The detective was confused.
Antonio had observed the whole scene. Jay who hastily left the room to go towards the entrance to the district and Hailey ran after him a few seconds.
He was worried, never had he seen his friend feel so bad.
He had been stalking him ever since he and his partner had returned.
First he had struggled to describe the elements they had found in the ranger's house, then he had been sitting at his desk staring at the computer with a blank and absent look and finally he had slipped away without even wearing the jacket that Hailey had promptly taken for bring it to him.
Suddenly he got up from his chair and went down to see what was happening.
