The Hit List
"Damn it!" Jay yelled throwing his cellphone at the wall and watching it shatter.
"Jay." Hailey said reaching for his arm, but he pulled back and grabbed his black, leather jacket from the back of his desk chair.
"What are you doing, Jay?" Antonio asked, following him towards the stairs.
"What the hell does it look like i'm doing?" Jay snapped back.
"Making a bad call." Voight said coming out of his office.
"Excuse me? Don't you want me to get my brother back safely? Do you even care?" Jay snapped turning his attention to Voight, not even realizing that Antonio was now blocking his way.
"You know that we do, Jay." Ruzek said stepping towards him. Jay turned back around, realizing that Antonio was blocking his way down the stairs.
"Move!" Jay snapped, but Antonio didn't even flinch.
"Hey Sarge, you need to come see this!" Atwater said motioning Voight over.
"What's up?" Voight asked him, seeing the blood rush out of Kevin's face.
"I found the "hit list" that Will was talking about." Kevin said handed Voight a newly printed piece of paper.
Jay Halstead-500 K
Antonio Dawson- 450 K
Hank Voight-450 K
Adam Ruzek-350 K
Kevin Atwater-350 K
Hailey Upton (WILL HALSTEAD-50 K)
Kim Burgess-50 K
Wanted ALIVE! Slightly injured is acceptable
"You have got to be kidding me!" Voight roared, getting the other Detectives attention.
"Will wasn't lying, Jay." Atwater said as he slapped the piece of paper onto the whiteboard, everyone gathered around, including Jay.
"Son of a bitch!" Jay exclaimed throwing his black leather jacket, towards his desk chair.
"No meet, Halstead." Voight told him, knowing what he was thinking.
"Okay, so they have Kim, they exchanged Hailey for Will, and we all have a bounty on our heads? Is that where we are at?" Jay asked Voight anxiously.
"Yes." Voight said, still not sure whether or not to be stone faced or show his true emotions.
"Sarge, I know the risks, please, I'm absolutely begging you, let me go to this meet." Jay said holding his hands together like a child begging their parent for another cookie.
"I just don't think this is a good idea, kid. Voight told Jay, quickly.
"You know what? Screw this! Why am I even asking for permission? You break the rules all the time!" Jay snapped as he looked Voight dead in the eyes.
"I may not be able to change your mind, Halstead, but you go down those stairs, don't bother coming back!" Voight snapped. Jay quickly walked back to his desk and sat down, staring at the whiteboard.
"Good choice." Voight said as he walked back into is office and shut the door.
"Antonio…."Jay started to say, but was interrupted.
"Sorry, Jay, I'm not getting involved." Antonio said as he sat down at his desk and started sorting through files from old cases.
