Shay ran into the ER as he eyes scanned the busy emergency room searching for any sings of her girlfriend, she frowned when she saw no sign of her.
"Hey," Dawson said as she came up behind her.
Shay whirled around, "hey how is she?" she asked as she have her friend a hug.
"Not well from what I hear," Dawson said sadly.
"What the hell happened?" Shay asked as she still glanced around the hospital.
"She's with the rest of the team outside Burges's room," Dawson said as she glanced down the hallway.
Shay followed her eyes as they landed on a distraught Lindsay who was being comforted by Halstead.
"She's pretty broken up," Dawson said as she laid a hand on Shay's shoulder.
"Is she blaming herself?" Shay asked as Lindsay finally turned around and locked eyes with her girlfriend.
Before Dawson could answer Lindsay walked over and threw her arms around Shay as she sobbed into her shoulder.
Dawson took that as her cue to walk over to where Antonio stood with the rest of the intelligence unit.
Shay stood there for what felt like hours holding her sobbing girlfriend before finally pulling away.
She gently cupped Erin's cheek and stroked it as she looked deep into her eyes, "this isn't your fault."
Lindsay closed her eyes as she reveled in Shay's touch, "I know," she whispered.
"Good," Shay said with a smile as she kissed Lindsay's forehead.
"Guys," Halstead called as the Dr. treating Burgess walked out looking grim.
"Is she going to be okay?" a broken looking Ruzek asked as Shay and Lindsay rushed over.
"She lost a lot of blood she is very lucky to be alive," the Dr. began.
"Get to the point," Ruzek begged as he held back tears.
"She has fallen into a coma, there is very little chance she may ever wake up," he said.
"Oh God," Ruzek said as he fell to the floor and sobbed.
Everyone went to comfort him as the Dr. walked off.
"She will beat this," Atwater said as he looked towards the room where his ex-partner lay.
Voight looked around at his team before kneeling down in front of Ruzek, "we will put this fucker in the ground I promise you," he said as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
Ruzek gave him a small nod as Antonio helped him up.
"Okay guys I know we are grieving but we still have a case to solve," Voight said as he noticed something.
"Where's Erin?" he asked as he looked at Shay accusingly.
Shay looked around as she noticed her girlfriend was no longer beside her, "she was right here," she said as panic coursed through her.
Dawson ran over and hugged her, "she will be okay," she whispered for only her to hear.
"Halstead find her, Voight ordered as he turned to the rest of the team. "Walk the streets, someone is bound to know where he is," Voight ordered.
"Everyone nodded as they all turned to leave.
Shay rushed over and grabbed Halstead's arm before he could leave, he stopped and turned to see nothing but pain in shay's eyes.
"Find her," Shay pleaded.
"I will," Halsted promised as he nodded towards Dawson before turning to leave.
"Jay will find her," Dawson promised as she pulled Shay into another hug.
"God I hope so," Shay said sadly as she allowed Dawson to lead her towards the exit.
"Are you okay?" Kelly asked as he entered the apartment to find Shay pacing back and forth nervously.
"Lindsay is missing," Shay said sadly as she began to sob.
Kelly immediately rushed over and pulled her into a hug, "I can stay if you need me too," he said as they pulled apart.
"No go I will be fine," Shay said as she wiped her eyes.
"Are you sure," Kelly asked as he looked in her eyes.
"Go," Shay said with a tight smile.
Severide just nodded as he kissed her forehead before grabbing his keys and leaving.
Shay grabbed her phone once more to see if there were any updates her heart broke when there was none.
Meanwhile across town Halstead was looking everywhere he could think of for his partner.
"Any signs of her?" Antonio asked as they all met up in front of the police station.
"None," Halstead said sadly.
"I think I know where she might be," Voight spoke up as he turned to heads towards his car.
Halstead was about to follow but Antonio stopped him, "let him handle this."
Halsted just nodded as they all watched him drive off.
Shay jumped when her phone suddenly rang, she quickly answered it, "hello?"
"Hey it's me," Halstead said.
"Did you find her?" Shay asked.
"Voight thinks he may know where she is, I just wanted to give you and update."
Shay closed her eyes before answering, "Thank you Jay."
"He will find her I promise," Jay answered before hanging g up.
Voight pulled up next to an old abended bridge and immediately spotted Lindsay sitting down with her head in her hands. He frowned he could tell she had been crying.
"Hey kiddo," he said as he took a seat beside her.
Lindsay jumped at the sudden appearance of the man who saved her life as she wiped her eyes, "I should have picked a better hiding spot."
Voight smiled, "I will always find you."
Lindsay gave him a small smile, "I just needed a little space."
"Understandable," Voight said as he looked around the bridge where he first met the young detective.
"We have to find this fucker," Lindsay said as more tears welled up in her eyes.
"We will," Voight promised her as he took off his jacket and wrapped it around the obviously cold Lindsay.
"Thank you," Lindsay said as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Shay was on her third cup of wine when her phone rang again, "hello," she whispered into the phone.
"Baby?" Lindsay said into the phone.
"Oh God Erin," Shay cried out as tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm sorry I made you worry," Lindsay said as tears fell from her eyes.
"Don't worry about that, where are you?" Shay asked as she heard voices in the background.
"At the station, we are collecting money for Burgess," Lindsay answered.
"Well put me down for a hundred," Shay said as she went to sit on the couch.
Lindsay smiled, "you got it."
Shay smiled as she listened to her girlfriend talk to Halstead for a brief moment before returning.
"Hey I have to go, but is it okay if I stop by?" Lindsay asked.
"Of course," Shay said.
"I love you so much," Lindsay said as she closed her eyes.
"I love you too," Shay said.
Lindsay quickly ended the call before racing over towards her desk and giving Voight her full attention.
"We already have one officer down let's not make it two," Voight said as he glared at Lindsay before turning towards the rest of his team.
"Ruzek will be staying with Burgess the rest of you need to be on high alert, never go out alone understand," he said his eyes once again travelling towards Lindsay.
Everyone nodded as they all glanced around sadly at each other.
"Dismissed," Voight said as he headed towards his office and closed the door.
Everyone grabbed their gear and headed towards the door, Erin lingered behind as she glanced towards the closed door.
"You coming?" Halstead asked as he looked back towards his partner.
"Yeah in a minute," Lindsay called over her shoulder as she entered Voight's office.
Voight looked up as Lindsay took a seat across from him.
"This isn't your fault either," she said as she looked him in the eyes.
"She didn't deserve what she got," Voight said sadly as he rubbed his face.
"Burgess is tough she will be okay," Lindsay assured him.
Voight smiled as he stood up and walked over to where Erin was sitting, he leaned down as he placed his hands on her shoulders, "don't shut her out."
Lindsay frowned as she recalled all the times she pushed Shay away, "I won't."
"Good," Voight said as he stood back up, "now go to her," he said as he waved her off.
Lindsay just smiled as she grabbed her jacket and walked out.
Shay was trying her hardest to stay awake as she glanced at the clock one last time and saw it was three in the morning, she wanted to cry, and once again Lindsay just wasn't going to show. She stood up and stretched as she grabbed her wine glass and headed towards the kitchen, she jumped when a loud knock sounded throughput the apartment.
"Sorry I'm late," a tired looking Lindsay said as she gave her girlfriend a tight smile.
"Get in here," Shay said as she pulled her girlfriend inside and closed the door.
"I'm so sorry Shay," Lindsay said as tears fell from her eyes.
Shay quickly wiped them away, "for what?"
"For always shutting you out, I need you so bad right now," Lindsay cried out.
"Oh sweetie," Shay said as she pulled her into her arms and held her tightly.
"Please forgive me," Lindsay cried out into her shoulder.
"I always will," Shay assured her as she kissed her forehead.
Lindsay pulled away and kissed her girlfriend deeply.
Shay was quick to respond as she tangled her hands in her hair and pulled her closer.
"I have missed this so much," Lindsay whispered against her lips.
"Me too," Shay replied as she kissed her again before dragging her upstairs where she made love to her all night long.
