I know that Jay was a lieutenant in the Army and most lieutenants sit in the front passenger seat, but in this insistence he wanted to sit next to Mouse in the back. Yes they are dating. Also I don't really like the whole switching P.O.V's so I may just continue the story from third person.
"Hey! Halstead got a girl at home?" Jim yelled from the front seat.
Jay looked at Mouse as he responded. "Nope, no one at home."
"Well that's a shame. What about you Mouse?"
"I have someone, but they're not home." Mouse yelled back. Right after Mouse responded the Humvee was lifted out of the air. They had just ran over an IED. Jay was the first to wake up.
"MOUSE! Come on, don't leave me!" Jay yelled when he saw an unconscious Mouse next to him. After not being able to wake him up he checked out the others. It was difficult to check if they were living being that the Humvee was on its roof.
"I need to get out of here if I want to check on them" Jay quietly said to himself. Jay undid the straps that were holding him to the seat grunting as he hit the roof. "Shit" Jay cursed as the door refused to move. It was easier to move not being held in place anymore. He crawled closer to Mouse and put his index and middle finger to the side of Mouse's neck. Jay let out a sigh of relief as he felt a strong heartbeat beneath his fingers. He then crawled closer to the front seat, positioning himself between the front seats.
Jay looked at the driver, Andy, but quickly looked away. It didn't pay to check if he was okay. His neck was at an odd angle and there was way too much blood coming out of his chest to be alive. Jay put two fingers to Jim's neck and let out a strangled noise when he couldn't find anything.
"Hmmh."
Jay scooted backwards so he was closer to Mouse. Mouse opened his eyes only to close them quickly again when it was too bright.
"Mouse, come on, please be okay." Jay said loud enough for Mouse to hear him.
"That- That was not a fun ride." Jay let out a chuckle at the innuendo, but stopped when it started to hurt. Mouse opened his eyes again, slower this time, to look at Jay. "Is everyone okay?" Mouse asked. Jay looked Mouse in the eyes and shook his head to the side sadly. "Well, fuck."
Mouse undid his straps and checked his door. It didn't seem to want to open, but did when Mouse kept ramming his shoulder into it. He pulled himself out into the hot dry desert and turned around to help Jay out as well. When they both got out they checked their surroundings. It was a mess. They were the first Humvee in line of three. The others were in the same condition as theirs.
"You check the second one, I got the third one." Jay said as he started walking. After checking on the people inside to see if they were okay he left sadly and went back to Mouse. "Anyone alive?" He asked. Mouse just shook his head.
"You?"
"No, it seems only we survived."
Mouse was shaken out of the memory by the one and only Hank Voight.
"Mouse! You got anything in this case?" Voight yelled from his office.
"No, not yet. The programs are still running the evidence." Mouse responded. Hank seemed content with his answer and continued to do paperwork. Mouse looked up from his desk to look at Jay. Jay smiled sadly as he knew what Mouse was thinking about.
God Mouse hated cases that involved explosives.
