Jay's P.O.V.
I don't get why I was doing this at all. Right now I was on my way to this small diner in Chicago for a blind date. Will had set it up and stupidly I agreed. I never do this. When I get there I look for the woman I was supposed to meet. There were a couple of people there, but I easily found the woman Will described. She had light brown hair that fell to the middle of her back, and apparently blue/grey eyes, but her back was toward me. I guess I should just walk over to her. As I'm walking she must have heard me because she turned.
"Hi I'm Elena. You're Jay right?" She had gotten up out of her seat, walking towards me, while looking me in the eyes. That was when I saw those blue/grey eyes Will had talked about. She was wearing a dark blue sweater and ripped jeans with combat boots.
"Yeah I am. I'm sorry if I kept you waiting." I lead her back over to the table she was sitting at, and pulled out her chair which earned me a smile.
"It's fine, being a detective and all, I get that your job has an erratic schedule. Mine does too so I totally understand." Will must've told her I'm a cop. He told me that he knew her from New York, and that she had just gotten to Chicago.
"So what do you do for work?" I know that it's probably the most stereotypical question to ask on a blind date, but Will never told me what she did.
"I'm an emergency surgeon, but I've specified in neurology."
"So do you work with Will now then?" He wouldn't set us up on a date if he knew she would be leaving soon, and the hospital is the only logical place she would work.
"I will be. My first shift is in two days, but I wanted to get here a little early to settle in." Right when she finished the waiter asked for our orders, and that sort of just kicked off the whole date. Elena was really cool, and we had a lot of fun. After lunch I ended up showing her around for a while before I got a call from Adam saying that he wanted me to come with him on a lead. We ended up separating there, but we did exchange numbers.
It was now 8, and I was just sitting in my apartment watching some movie that was on when Will called me.
"So what did you think?"
"She seems nice. How do you even know her anyway?" I doubt that she was a part of the party scene with Will in New York.
"She was doing her emergency surgeon training while I was doing my residency at the same hospital. We crossed paths a couple of times, but started talking when I mentioned that you were in the army."
"Why would you start talking because I was in the military?"
"Because she was in the navy. She was a naval neurosurgeon, and served around 6 deployments in 5 years."
"So why is she in Chicago?"
"She was still in New York making a name for herself, but Sharon offered her a job here. After I found out about it I practically begged. I guess I was able to convince her." Alright something is either really special about this girl for Will to allow himself to beg, or there is something else going on with her because the chance Will would beg is very unlikely. He was probably making up an excuse.
"So why did you set us up? You know other people don't you?" He laughed at that one, and I heard a female voice in the background. It's probably Natalie. I can never keep up with their relationship.
"I do, but I think you two would go really well together, and Kim mentioned that you've still been down in the dumps since Erin left." Wait Kim? Could Kim be the voice? No, it couldn't be. Right?
"When did you talk to Kim?" I really hoped they weren't together, not because I like her, Kim was like my little sister. I already watched her get burned by Adam, and neither of them have a great track record with relationships.
"We talked a little when she came to check on a CI of hers that had gotten into some trouble. You know what I have to go. I'll talk to you later, and give Elena a chance." Then he hung up without letting me get a word in. I looked back at the tv, failing to focus on it, and just decided to head to bed. Little did I know that Will had a similar conversation with Elena a little before he talked to me.
