It was the third time that morning that she had rushed into the bathroom. She had tried to make it seem normal and that she was going to get stuff from the locker room but sometimes she had to make it fast and she felt the eyes of her team on her. She was about 10 weeks and even though she did not want to say anything to her team she knew it was becoming a risky situation. She hated the fact that she was keeping this from Voight but she had to wait. She didn't know why it was so important to her, maybe because of all the people she had lost in her life but she had to wait.

She could hear footsteps walking to the bathroom as she finished wiping her face clean, she was exhausted. The team hadn't had a big case or anything but just the running around and the stacks of paperwork were taking a toll on her. Not to mention her ankles were swollen and her back was killing her. She quickly grabbed a paper towel to dry her hands as Kim entered the locker room.

"Erin? Is everything okay? This is the third time I have seen you run in here today." Kim asked Erin with a concerned look on her face.

Erin wanted to tell one of her closest friends so badly but she couldn't get herself to say it, "Just a stomach bug I think. I am okay, thanks for checking up on me."

Kim wanted to believe her friend but she knew there was something more to the situation and she didn't want to push Erin. "Okay well Voight wants us in the bull pen, something important on a new case. Come on." And with that Erin followed Kim out to her desk. Sh could feel Jay's eyes on her and decided to meet his with a faint smile to let him know she was okay. Once she sat down she felt much better, she braced herself for the new case they were about to be told about.

Voight walked out of his office pinning pictures to their board without saying a word, no one spoke but the pictures said thousand words. Three females torn apart, bloody, barely even recognizable, and dead. Erin had to look away from the pictures before she would be running back to the bathroom.

"Alright three middle aged women were found this morning in an alley off of Braxon street. All evidence has been sent to the crime lab for any dna or other evidence not found. It looks like they were strangled and brutally stabbed. Vanessa Buxon, Geralynne Alexander, and Lauren Graver all ID'd at the scene all registered nurses at Springfield hospital two blocks away. From the looks of it, they had seemed to be heading into shift, we will need the hospital's records and Antonio Ruzek I want you all there immediately after we finish up here. Apparently these nurses had been supplying a drug ring here , the police was notified when many drugs were not accounted for in their department. We need to look into this."

Voight paused and looked back at Erin which made her feel uneasy. What was he about to say? Because from the looks of it Voight was having trouble saying it. "As for suspects, the cameras were not working there in the alley but we do have footage of an black SUV pulling up around the time of death for the girls. Now uh we only got a blurry picture but we ID'd the man to be Teddy Worth." Voight paused before Turing back around to the board and slowly putting up a picture of a blonde older man that Erin recognized immediately.

Teddy? Her brother? It was like everything was in slow motion, she could hear Voight continuing to talk but she couldn't make out his words. Her breathing began to become labored, it was getting so hot in the room. What was he doing at the scene of the crime, he wouldn't have ever gotten involved in something like this would he? Her and was running a mile a minute, she couldn't even process all of her thoughts and she didn't even realize Vight had stopped talking until she felt an hand on her shoulder.

"Erin? Hey you okay?" It was his voice, that voice that made her calm down within seconds and she knew she was safe. Although she knew she was fine she was still in shock, she couldn't do anything but nod her head yes. There was some more talking she heard around her and then she was being led into the break room with the door being shut behind her.

"Erin, we don't know anything for sure okay? We are hoping that he has no part in this but we need more information. Don't jump to any conclusions." He had sat her down on the couch and moved his body next to hers to hold her. HE smelled of her favorite deodorant and he was so warm, his heart beat beating in his chest calmed her breathing and her mind. She didn't want him to let go of her.

"Are you feeling okay? I know I can't really say anything in front of the others yet but you had me worried. Three times in one morning is a record for you." Jay's voice was soft, almost a whisper.

She finally had enough strength to lean back and look into his eyes, "I am fine, you don't need to worry. What we do need to worry about is the fact that my brother may be involved of the murder of three young innocent women." Her eyes had a fire in them, she needed to be on board with case as much as possible.

"Okay we will but Erin hey don't let this stress you outfit isn't good for you." He moved his hand to her belly, softly rubbing his thumb in circles. Her hand found his and lifted it off of her stomach and she got up.

"I am going to figure out what Teddy was doing, I have to. He is my family." And with that she was walking out of the break room leaving a worried Jay on the couch.

Voight's office door was opened which got him to turn around in his chair. He knew she would be coming to him sometime soon. "Erin hey, sit down I've been wanting to talk to you."

Erin smiled a small faint smile and sat down, "So what do we know? Is he in danger? Was he a part of this?" She almost sounded like she was going to break just asking those questions, she didn't want them to actually be true. Voight analyzed her and debated whether or not to tell her all of the information he knew.

"Look kiddo as of right now we think we might be dealing with a big drug lord, we don't know anything for sure but Teddy might be a part of that. We think these nurses being killed was a way to stop from being caught. We think they were getting threatened to give supplies to this group. We don't know anything for sure about who killed them but we are gonna need someone undercover to go in . We think they might be going back to target more nurses since they are not getting their supply anymore." Voight was very hesitant to say the last part because he hadn't announced it to his team yet, he didn't know who he wanted to send in. "I was thinking Atwater, we could use him because they might confide more in a male nurse."

Erin was trying to comprehend all the information given to her, undercover? She could do that, she would be perfect for that! If Teddy was a part of it she could talk to him and she could figure this out and get him out of this mess safely. "What about me? If Teddy is a part of this he could come to me and I could get the information, I am sure he is not doing this by choice." She had the fire in her eyes again, she was burning up with determination.

"I don't know Erin, this is a big case what if- what if they went after you like the nurses. There is no guarantee. I know you can handle yourself and take it but I just got you back, would you be ready for this?"

Erin stood up and looked into his eyes, she knew he was just looking out for her and she appreciated that but she knew what she had to do. "When it comes to family, I will always be ready."
