Kim left Kevin's room and headed back down to the burn unit. A nurse told her Adam was still asleep and would probably sleep through the night. Kim then asked the nurse to let Adam know she went home to shower and change her clothes if he did happen to wake up.
Kim felt like a new person after she showered and changed her clothes. She was going to head right back to the hospital but decided to stop by the district to catch up with the team and see where they were at. Kim buzzed herself upstairs and made her way to the group as they looked like they were planning something.
Al noticed her first and said, "Hey, how's Ruzek doing?" The rest of the group stopped and turned towards Kim.
"He is going to survive. They say he is already getting in more oxygen then they would expect with with the amount of smoke he inhaled so that's good." Kim explained. Then she asked, "Do we have any progress?"
"Thanks to your idea about checking for supplies we think they are holding the jurors in a warehouse here." Voight said pointing to a map. "We were just planning our raid. You in? We could use the help since we are two men down." Voight asked.
"I'm still not cleared by the doctors or I would." Kim said.
"Yes you are. The doctor sent over your clearance this afternoon." Voight said.
"Okay. What's the plan then?" Kim asked without a hesitation.
Kim, Olinsky and Antonio were at the back entrance of the warehouse geared up and waiting to hear Voight's signal. They had used inferred sensors to figure out where everyone was. It was Kim's job to get the hostages out while the rest of the team took care of the team inside. She thought about texting someone from Chicago Med to have them tell Adam where she was in case he woke up but she didn't have time.
Voight sent the signal and the team of three made their way through the back door. They moved through multiple doors of warehouse before Kim finally opened the door where the hostages were. There was a guard and he pulled his gun but Kim shot him before he had a chance to fire at her. Kim radioed to the team that she found the hostages. She went to reassure the hostages that she would get them out once the building was secure when she saw a shadow at the door. She went to turn to see who it was when she hurt a shot fired and a pain in her side.
Antonio and Jay walked into Adam's room in the sterile gowns.
"Well don't you to look dashing." Adam said seeing the two of them.
"We got something for you." Jay said handing Adam a piece of paper.
"An application for Chicago Fire Academy. Very funny." Adam laughed softly.
"We got the guys and the jurors are all out safe." Antonio explained. "Voight and Al questioned them and they admitted they were paid by Badge."
"Good." Adam said. "Have you guys seen Kim? The nurse said she went home to shower but that was hours ago."
Antonio and Jay looked at each other.
"What? What happened?" Adam asked in a panic.
Finally Antonio responded, "She will be here after she is finished getting checked out in the ED. Voight got her medically cleared for the raid. She was ambushed from behind when she was with hostages and got hit twice in her side."
Adam thought he was going to be sick.
"Thankfully her vest stopped both of them and she was able to get a shot of and wound the perp before Al got there. They are just checking her out since she has the broken ribs so recently." Antonio finally finished.
"So she is okay?" Adam asked.
"She will be fine. She is a tough cookie." Antonio told him.
"Okay." Was all Adam could say while he thought why would she do that? She was in a major car accident less then two months ago. She knows better.
Jay and Antonio notice Adam wasn't saying anything after that and had a slightly angry face on.
"Are you saving your energy to yell at her?" Jay asked.
"Oh you better believe it." Adam said.
Kim was waiting in one of the rooms of the Emergency Department trying to figure out how to explain to Adam what happened. He was going to be pissed. She knew she probably shouldn't have been out in the field yet, but she just couldn't say no.
Voight knocked on the glass and stuck his head in.
"How you doing?" He asked her.
"I feel okay. I'm just waiting for Will to get back with my x-rays and the all clear." Kim told him.
"Good. So it looks like we are going to be without Atwater and Ruzek for a while upstairs so now that you are cleared do you want to stay up with us. You do good work and we would be happy to have you." Voight said.
"Yes sir." Kim said. She was happy even though it would probably only be temporary.
"Good to hear." Voight said as Will walked into the room.
"You are one lucky girl, Kim. It looks like just some bruising. You know you could have rebroken your ribs, right?" Will asked.
"Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna hear plenty of that once I tell Adam I don't need it from you too." Kim replied getting off the exam table.
"She still cleared for duty?" Voight asked.
"Yeah. Just don't let her get hit in the side again this week." Will said leaving the room.
"Good I will see you tomorrow then." Voight told her patting her on the back before heading out.
Now Kim just had to go explain to Adam what happened.
Kim walked into Adam's room. She saw Jay and Antonio outside and they warned her that they already let it slip that she went to the raid and got shot.
"What were you thinking?" Adam asked once he saw Kim enter the room.
"I'm sorry. I went to check in after I went home to shower and they were headed out and said they needed me. I couldn't say no. Voight got me medically cleared for it." Kim tried to explain.
"You're okay?" Adam asked without any emotional tone.
"Yeah. Just some bruising. Will said I am all good. Dumb. But good." Kim told him.
"He's right. That was dumb. You could have been hurt way worse. And you just got back. I just got you back." Adam choked out the last sentence.
"I know. I know. Believe me I was kicking myself as soon as I got my breath back again." Kim said.
"Come here." Adam said making room on his bed for her to sit. "Hearing you had been shot again was gut wrenching. I'm very thankful for your vest right now. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you." Adam told her.
"Adam, I'm here. We both are. This probably won't be the last time either of us are in the hospital. We both were a little reckless this week. But we are both dedicated our lives to this job. But it will be okay. We have each other now." Kim expressed.
"I'm still mad at you, but I love you." Adam said.
"I love you too." Kim replied.
"Will you stay the rest of the night?" Adam asked.
"Of course." Kim said before she leaned over and kissed him.
