p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"Everyone got the call at the same time. Al was in the hospital as he'd been stabbed in prison. Hailey had actually been about to head over to Mollys for a drink when she got it. At this point her and Adam were friends with benefits. The benefits part came later to the friends part but it was a nice way for them to let go of the cases. Kim and Adam were old news now and that made her very happy. She had just pulled up to the hospital and flashed her badge and before she could even speak, A very good familiar strong build hugged her. Adam./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Hey" She whispered./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Hey" He replied back./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"They stayed in the hug for a minute before walking together to where everyone else was waiting. They greeted everyone and then sat in chairs next to each other. Hailey knew that surgery took a while but she still felt like time was moving very slowly. Finally around four a doctor came out./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Al lost a lot of blood and unfortunately we weren't able to get his heart started again. Im very sorry"./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"From that moment Hailey felt physically sick and was suddenly overwhelmed. She could hear the soft cries of Kim and Antonios punch into the wall but she couldn't look up. This was not about her and she silently willed the nausea to pass. The doctor noticed Haileys paling face and went to ask if she was okay and thats when she smelled the stench of blood on the doctor and lost her lunch all over the ground. The sound made everyone turn and she was so dizzy she could only see Adam quickly making his way over to her. Thats when it call came rushing back and she promptly passed out./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""We need some help over here!" Adam yelled. He was panicking internally and he was worried about Hailey. "Hales! Hailey wake up!" He practically yelled. Right after that, Dr. Halstead rushed in with a nurse and loaded her onto a gurney. "Please take care of her." With that she was wheeled out of sight and Hank seeing what went down asked a very simple question./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Does anyone know who her emergency contact is?"/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Uhh that would be me Sarge." After those six words were spoken by Adam, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Finally Hank cleared his throat and spoke to his team. "Alright I know we are all mourning but Al would want us to bring whoever did this to justice. So, Burgess and Atwater go talk to the warden. I want to know what the hell happened. Antonio, go review the security footage. Im going to go talk with the superintendent. When everyone left Hank went up to Adam. "I don't know why, Nor do I care but since you are Upton's emergency contact, you stay with her. Both of you take some time to figure out your personal lives and don't come back till your heads are on straight./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Copy that Sarge"./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"With that Hank left the room and a nurse alerted Adam that Hailey was ready for visitors. She was sleeping when he got there so he took a seat in the chair and held her hand. "Hi Hales. I don't know if you can hear me but Im here. God you scared me and I'm so sorry I didn't see it before. God Hailey, this is gonna sound cliche but I love you. I want us. Not just the sex but a real relationship. You are so beautiful and I'd give anything to see those beautiful blue eyes of yours open again"./p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"Careful not to lean on her, he gave her a kiss on the head and then went back to holding her hand and began to cry. He was sobbing so hard he almost didn't feel the movement of her hand in his. Looking up, he saw tears in her eyes. "Hey" He whispered/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Hey yourself. She lifted her hand and put it to his cheek. "I heard what you said." she admitted. Suddenly he felt embarrassed and was going to try and play it off. "Listen, we don't have to do that. We can just forget what I said okay?"/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Adam." She interrupted. Her voice made him look up again. "I want that. All of it. With you. For the record, I love you too." Smiling, Adam stood up again and kissed her lips. He was about to pull away when her arms latched onto the back of his neck and so he laid down on the bed next to her. "How do you want to tell the Sarge? I mean I remember the fit he had with Jay and Erin sneaking around but maybe because your not his daughter. "Hmm. Hey what did he say? Was he mad?"/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""No not at all. He was worried and then surprised at me being your emergency contact. I think he suspects but we have as much time off as we need to recover from..."/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""Al." she remembered. She did her best not to cry in front of him but was failing. "I know. Its okay." He soothed bringing her close. Interrupting their moment, Dr. Halstead knocked. "So. Your labs came back clean, nothing bad. I think it was just the stress. Speaking of, how's your stomach? You up for some food?" The nurse followed closely behind him, carrying a tray of hospital food. At the smell, Hailey's stomach formed knots again and she leaned over to the other side and again threw up. The nurse rushed out after. "Ill take that as a no. Don't worry. The cleanup crew is being paged right now. Just drink some water and rest okay?"/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"She nodded and then wiped her face with the cloth. "Can you get me some water?" Hailey asked Adam. He nodded and poured half a cup. "Go slow, I don't want that coming back up."/p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';" /p
p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';""I love you." Hailey said sleepily. "I love you too Hales. Get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up." With that the newly formed lovers fell into a deep sleep both oblivious to the fact that Kim had come back and was standing outside having heard Adam's last sentence./p
