Antonio raced into the bullpen and got everyone's attention,
" that guy was saying stuff and he remembered Jay and when they first took him to the warehouse and he was talking about everything they did but he wouldn't tell me where the gang are held up now and he's not gonna snitch but we gotta get him back, we just gotta get him..."
"Dawson what are you talking about, save who?" Hank shouted over him rambling
"Jay, Jay's alive!"
Everyone had a look of shock and confusion on their faces and didn't really know what to do, "how do you even know for sure?"
"He told me how they stabbed him but he got stitched up and they just kept him to torture him. He wouldn't tell me where he was!"
The team spoke over each other until they saw Erin running up the stairs, "guys some man just walked into med with a gun and took Will and Nat. We need to get down there now!"
"Okay Erin and Kim go to med everyone else is gonna look for them and cover everything here" Hank ordered.
At the warehouse
As Will and Natalie took a step inside she was pulled out of his arms by some guys until Will fought back and grabbed her, "NO, she stays with me she's a doctor and can help me with who's hurt." Will shouted.
Jay shot awake after hearing shouting and fighting from downstairs and he was praying they weren't about to come kill him.
Both Will and Nat were pushed through a door at the end of the hall. They both hit the floor and could hear someone else in the room, "hey how are we supposed to help if we can't see?" Will shouted through the door and shortly later two flashlights were thrown in.
Will turned his flashlight on and scanned around the room until he saw someone slouched against the wall. He ran over and got down and his knees but then turned around to see Nat with her head buried in her knees, "Nat come one please I need you"
Nat slowly got up and walked over to him, they both started to look at the guy but Will couldn't see his face due to bruising and scratches but then he heard him muttering.
"Wait Will, he said something?" Natalie said after not hearing him properly.
"Will it's me" he whispered and that was when Will noticed who it was.
"JAY, jay what the, oh god man wha..."
"It's okay brother I'm pretty used to this happening to me by now" jay coughed
"How the hell are you alive?" Will said holding his brother in his arms
"You guys and my family kept me going all this time. I've been so close to giving up. I'm sorry Will"
"Oh no Jay you have nothing to be sorry for okay, we're gonna help you now but I have to look at your leg Jay"
Will touched Jays leg which made him flinch, " no it's okay Will carry on, it's just a force of habit"
Will and Natalie strapped Jay's leg up in bandages and everything they had but it still wasn't good enough, "wait, wait Will the twins, did they make... I haven't stopped thinking about it... is Erin okay?"
"Jay you need to calm down, it's not good for you to stress out and yeah Erin had to beautiful twins via C-section"
Jay let out a smile and a laugh, "of course she didn't. What are their names?"
"Well your little girl is called Hope and your little boy is called Henry" Will said as he leant on the wall next to his brother an hugged him, "that's amazing!" Jay whispered as he dozed off to sleep.
All Will could do was sit and stare at his brother but then he looked up at Natalie with a look of fear and terror,
"We're gonna help him Will!" Nat said grabbing Will hand.
At the district
Everyone gathered around and listened to Antonio, "So Will Halstead and Natalie Manning were taken at gun point from Chicago Med three hours ago. The witnesses reports show that there was one guy and he knew who he was looking for as he asked to speak to Will directly. It is also believed that they took Natalie hostage as a way to make Will go with them"
"Where's Lindsey and Burgess?" Ruzek asked
"On their way back from Med, Sarge are we gonna tell Erin about Jay?" Antonio asked
"Not until we know it's true. No one mentions anything to Erin" Hank ordered, " our main priority right now is bringing Will and Natalie home safe. They are family to Erin and to us. So let's start tracking phones!"
At the warehouse
The next morning Natalie woke up to see Will with Jay in his arms, "Will?" She shook him awake
"What what?" He said waking up quickly
"How's Jay?" She asked him
"Well he's weak and starved. I have never seen him this skinny in his life. His leg is getting infected and most of his cuts and bruises are infected. Also I looked at his chest last night and it wasn't even sown up properly so I don't know how he didn't bleed out."
Natalie took out her phone and passed it to Will," there's no signal but keep trying"
"I can't believe he's alive, i know we never found his body but we all saw that video and there was no way he could of survived that type of injury."
Will and Natalie sat together hugging in the corner, "I love you, you know"
"I love you too Will" Natalie turned around to kiss him when the door opened and two guys came in. One walked over and grabbed Natalie and Will stood up, "Let her go!" he shouted waking Jay up.
"She'll be back, we just need her for something" the guy said
Will ran over to them but before he reached for Natalie he was punched and fell to the floor, "Will, Will it's fine!" Natalie said as she was pulled out of the door. Will went and sat down next to Jay but Jay hadn't spoke since they first arrived, "What if they hurt her man?"
Will wait for a reply but he didn't get one, "Jay, Jay can you hear me?" he said shaking him. Jay looked up at him but still didn't speak, "it's okay Jay, you're in shock but i'm here now and I'm not leaving you again" Will said hugging his brother.
At the district
"Ok, so Natalie's phone is on but signal keeps dropping, that means it's pinging off several towers but the good thing is it is in one area. On the map it shows the strongest signal so far has been in the middle of several warehouses." Erin said
"so what are we gonna do, wait for a stronger signal or go search all those warehouses?" Al asked
"waiting for a stronger signal does weaken there chances and there isn't enough of us to go into all the warehouse" Hank said
"No, THEY ARE MY FAMILY, we are going to look for them now!" Erin shouted
Everyone listened to Erin, suited up and then made their way to the warehouses. As everyone pulled up they decided to go into each warehouse together. "Right our main priority is to find Will and Natalie and watch your back" Hank said as they entered the building
"Clear!" Erin radioed
"Clear!" the team radioed after each other
"All right this building is empty lets move on!" Hank ordered
Will's POV
I'm sat with Jay when I hear the door opening and then the next thing I see is Nat hitting the floor, "Nat, nat are you ok?"
"Yeah Will I'm fine they had someone who was injured and they wanted me to help them"
"So they didn't hurt you then?" I asked
"No Will I'm fine, how's Jay?"
"He's in shock, not speaking and I really don't know how he's going to come back from this, He's been tortured for over a year"
Me and Nat are stood hugging when the door came bursting open and Jay was grabbed, "hey what is going on?" I shouted
we heard someone shout, "They found us!".
"Hey leave my brother" I started to fight back when I heard a bang and felt a pain in my side. I looked down to see the blood pouring out of my stomach and I fell to the floor.
"WILL!" I heard Nat shout as she pressed her hands on my stomach.
"I love you Nat" I gasped.
"No don't you say goodbye Will, you're gonna be fine. Can you hear that. It's gunfire they are coming to help." she said to me.
Nobody's POV
The team made their way through the warehouse clearing every room and having multiple shootouts. Antonio looked around the corner to see a door at the end of the hall, he approached the door to find out it was locked, "Guys south side of the building, locked door at the end of the hall" he radioed.
As Antonio kicked the door down he turned around to see Natalie on the floor with Will bleeding out, "Nat!" he shouted running to her side
"He had a gunshot wound to his stomach and he's bleeding out fast, give me your jacket I need to put pressure on it. Antonio... we was with Jay, they took him"
"What, why, was he ok?"
"No he wasn't. He's traumatized, they brought us here to fix his leg but it's infected and he was multiple infections from other injuries. Antonio he's stopped talking he's in the worst kind of shock I have ever seen."
"Dammit, we need to find him!" Antonio shouted, "Hank we need an ambulance now, Will's been shot" he radioed.
"It's on the way" Hank said running into the room.
"Hank, Jay was here. They took him with him again!"
Hank looked at Antonio, "We know, Ruzek and Atwater are in pursuit of a car. Erin doesn't know yet but we are going to get him back."
The ambulance arrived and Will was quickly took to med. Erin and Kim went to med to be with Will and Nat while Hank, Antonio and Al went to join Ruzek and Atwater. "car heading south. we can't lose this car!" Ruzek radioed
The cars were speeding through Chicago when a crash was heard. Ruzek looked up to see the car they were chasing upside down after crashing into another car, the team got out of their cars and ran towards the car. Hank and Antonio tackled two guys to the ground after they tried to flee from the car but when Ruzek opened the back door he saw Jay slouched over the seat,"JAY!" he shouted as he pulled him out.
Ruzek shook Jay and he started to open his eyes, "Jay we found you, you're safe now" he said as he lifted up and hugged him.
"Atwater call an ambulance" he shouted back but as he lifted his head his saw the team running towards them, "Guys it's Jay, he's alive!" the whole team surrounded Jay but their was still no response from Jay even though he was alive.
At Chicago Med
"Okay what have we..." Maggie froze
"Yeah we know it's a long story but he needs help now and keep Erin away" Antonio said
"Yeah sure take him to trauma two and Erin's upstairs waiting for Will to come out of surgery" Maggie said pushing Jay's gurney
Nurses and Doctors started to work on Jay when he started to freak out, "Jay, Jay calm down!" April said but he wouldn't calm down so he had to be sedated. Jay was rushed off to surgery and the team waited for an update on him. When everyone was waiting Erin walked down the hall towards them, "hey guys what are you doing here?"
"We came to check on Will, how's he doing?" Hank said
"He's out of surgery and in recovery. Nat's with him now, they are both pretty shaken up still. I'm gonna head back to the district to change so call me if there is any changes"
The team watched till Erin got into the elevator and Antonio turned around to face Hank, "Are you gonna tell her Jay is alive?"
"Yeah when Jay is out of surgery and he is out of the woods."
A few hours later
Jay was out of surgery know and Dr Rhodes came to give everyone an update,
"Ok Jay had multiple serious injuries, His leg was severely broken, his arm was fractured, he has a broken nose as well as a fractured jaw, he's dangerously dehydrated and starved but his stab wound on his chest which had been believed to have killed him was infected and I managed to stitch it back up again and I have no idea how he didn't die from sepsis and even blood loss."
"Oh god, what about mentally?" Ruzek asked
"We don't know but it's not looking good. He panic's every time someone touches him and he's stopped talking. With his background as well he is defiantly having major PTSD and the level of his trauma after a year, he may not be able to come back from this."
"You can go see him but two at a time." Dr Rhodes said as he walked away.
"Sarge i have to go see him. He's my best friend" Ruzek asked standing up
"Yeah, yeah sure you and Dawson go" Hank said
The two walked into Jay's room to see him lying in the bed asleep. Adam sat in the chair next to him and Antonio stood against the wall, "I can't believe he's alive" Adam said. They both just sat and watched Jay sleep still shocked from the fact he wasn't dead and he was back.
