Hello again! Thank you so much for all the kind reviews! Special shout out to the tumblr peeps that came over to read the story!

I had intended this as a one shot, but I thought it would be fun to see the New York side! This is definitely more of Hailey's thoughts and experiences. I didn't want to include too much about the FBI team so people who aren't familiar with the show wouldn't be confused.

All of the characters are from Dick Wolf's Chicago PD and FBI

Hailey had arrived in New York early enough to put in a full day at the New York field office. She had thought about how to approach this assignment on her plane trip. She could keep her head down, work through the days and try to get it over with as quickly as possible. Or, she could try to turn this into a positive experience. She was stuck here regardless of her attitude at work so why not at least try to enjoy herself. The office had already secured all the necessary credentials and badges that she would need so she was able to jump right in. The first thing she noticed when walking into the field office was how different it was from the Intelligence bullpen. The office had rows of desks with analysts and agents sitting at each one typing away. In the front of the room was multiple large screens anchored to the wall that the agents were able to send vital information from cases to. She chuckled thinking about the unit working in this setting with all the technology. Jay had told her a story once about how Mouse had attempted to digitize the unit. He had scanned all their files and made a database to make it easier to sort through information. He had only 1 screen set up but that was 1 too many for Voight. The old school cop walked right up to the screen and taped a mugshot to it. By the end of the day, the screen was gone and the white board was back where it belonged. Agent Valentine noticed her walk in and went over to make all the necessary introductions.

The FBI team were very friendly and excited to have her temporarily join the team. She was teamed with Agent Zidan, whose partner had unexpectedly accepted an undercover assignment. She could tell he had a lot of respect for her and that he worried about her undercover assignment. He talked about Agent Bell often, definitely more than he talked about himself. She enjoyed hearing his stories about cases they had worked on almost as much as she enjoyed telling him about her team, and her partner. Her anchor. Her everyday. Her Jay. Agent Zidan couldn't help but be a little impressed with Hailey's knowledge of the Rangers. She knew some army post names and was able to retell some of the funnier, more lighthearted stories Jay had shared with her from his army days. Agent Zidan found himself wanting to meet this Detective Halstead. Shake his hand and thank him for his service to his country and the people of Chicago. He could tell from the way Hailey talked about him that Jay was special. What he couldn't tell was the nature of their relationship. He never asked her if their partnership was a romantic one. He had a feeling it wasn't, but he also could tell that she maybe wished it was.

As much as Hailey was enjoying eating her way through New York with a personal tour guide, she was missing Jay. Every time she felt the vibration in her pocket, she'd feel her heart skip a beat hoping it was him. Most times it was either him or Vanessa. Sometimes it was the rest of the team reaching out. But those times that it was Jay, her heart and mind would take her on a whirlwind of emotions. Excitement to hear from him, sadness to be away from him, longing to reach out and touch him, happy to have him. The highlight of her day was every night about an hour before bed. I say an hour, but it wasn't really. That was just the time that they had decided to facetime. Both Jay and Hailey would wait until about an hour before bedtime to call. Always expecting to just say hi and catch up. Never expecting for it to be more than an hour but never hanging up after one had passed. The conversations usually ended when one of them started to doze off. The goodbyes hurt every time. Neither one able to say 'I miss you", but both seeing it in the other's eyes.

The one-time Jay called her during the day, Hailey had panicked. She wasn't expecting a phone call during the day. They always texted and saved their talks for night when they didn't have to worry about putting time limits on their thing. She was relieved to hear it was just to make fun of the unit.

"Here. I'm gonna put you on speaker."

"There is no way you can tell how tall he is based on one photo."

"Ruz, look at them. She barely reaches his shoulder. That means he's my height, maybe taller."

"Did she say if he was single?"

"Why would that matter Kim? Why would you even need to know that information?"

"Relax Adam, I am not asking for me, I am asking for Rojas."

"I don't think Rojas is looking for any kind of long-distance relationships."

"I don't know Kev, I might be able to make an exception for the Feds. Especially if Agent Zidan is what they have to offer."

Hailey and Jay laughed at the conversation they were hearing.

"Should I grab OA? Have him say hi to the team?"

"I don't know Hailey. I am not sure they could handle that at this point."

"Well, please tell them I said hi and that I will be home before they know it. You might also want to emphasis that I will be coming back empty handed so they don't get their hopes up."

"Alright partner. I'll call you tonight for our thing!"

Agent Zidan looked over to her and couldn't help but notice her chuckling to herself.

"Are they expecting you to bring something back from New York?"

"No. It's more wishful thinking than an expectation."

"Ah. And what are they hoping for?"

"Umm, just a little snack. Nothing crazy."

The confused look on Agent Zidan's face made Hailey's chuckle turn into a full-blown laugh. She sighed as she thought about how much she missed her unit and reminded herself for the umpteenth time in 5 days that this was only temporary.
