Chapter 3: No Emotions
Hank Voight was a man who didn't show a lot of emotion. You could almost say he was a cold hearted man. But that wasn't the truth, he did care about things and people. Just had a funny way of showing it. Pulling into the diner parking lot where everything started 12 years ago, Hank sat for a few minutes. Pulling out his wallet, he found a picture of him, Camille, Justin and Erin, it was their last family picture before Camille got sick and eventually passed away. "Miss you everyday Camille." Hank could feel his eyes moisten from past memories. Clearing his throat, Hank put his wallet back in his pocket and got out of the car.
The crisp cold October air forced Hank to pull his jacket tighter as he walked across the parking lot. Walking in he could hear the bells on the door announce his presence to the diner staff and what few customers they had. "Welcome to Caddy's, take a seat wherever you want, I'll be right with ya." Hank could hear a voice yell from the back of the kitchen, he smiled as he made his way to his and Erins booth. As he approached the small booth in the corner, his phone buzzed. A text message from Erin, 'running a little behind, be there soon.' He smiled at the text before responding, 'take your time, I'll be waiting at our table.' As he sat down, he spotted two cards; one with Erins name, the other with his name. "Think I would forget you two?"
Hank looked up at an older lady, smiling. "You Marion? Never in a million years." Marion smiled, before looking around. "I don't see Erin anywhere." Hank nodded his head, "she's running a little behind, as usual." Marion chuckled, "she's always been good for that." Hank shook his head, "my guess is that she's with Jay." "Jay? As in her partner Jay?" Hank nodded, "the one and only. They think I don't know about their secret relationship, but I figured it out awhile ago." Marion just shook her head while laughing, "now why does that remind me of two people I know." Hank smirked, "I know you're not referring to me and Camille." Marion nodded, "who else would I be referring too?"
"Hmm. Point being I told Jay to keep it in his pants. But obviously he can't follow orders, just like Erin." Before Marion could respond the sound of sirens blared outside the diner, Hank and Marion with the rest of customers from the diner watched as the crew from 51 rushed to their call. "Well I guess we can say there's never a dull moment around here now is there? I'll be back with your coffee Hank." Hank nodded and glanced around the diner, "everything is still the same." Hank didn't like changes, wether big or small. It was a big adjustment after Camille passed away, but he had Erin and Justin to help him along the way. He didn't know what he would do without them.
****Meanwhile at the 21st District******
Antonio Dawson headed up the stairs to the bullpen, ready to start a new week a new case. Getting settled at his desk, he started up his computer when his phone rang. Looking at the screen, Gabby's name showed up. Smiling he hit the answer button; "hey sis, what's up?" He could hear Gabby crying. "Sis...are you okay?" There was a short pause before she answered, "yeah, no I'm okay." Antonio could hear the sirens from ambulance 61. "Gabby what is wrong?" Gabby cleared her throat, "I need you to call Voight and have him meet us at Chicago Med, it's Erin." With that Gabby hung up the phone, leaving Antonio speechless for a brief moment. How was he supposed to call Voight and tell him that his pseudo daughter was being taken to the hospital, having no idea as to why; but he knew he had too. Scrolling down the list of contacts he came to Voight's number, taking a deep breath he hit the call button. "Go for Voight." Taking a deep breath, Antonio began to inform Voight of the phone call from Gabby.
"Voight, it's Dawson, listen I got a phone call from Gabby." Antonio paused for a brief second. "Okay, go on." "You need to get to Chicago Med now, something happened with Erin, I don't know anymore details." There was a moment of silence. "Tell everyone to meet me there, I'm on my way." With that the phone call ended. Sending a group text out to everyone, telling them to head to Chicago Med. Before heading out he took one glance around the bull pen, eyes landing on Erin's desk. He prayed that whatever happened, that she'd be okay.
******Back at the diner*******
Hank glanced at his phone, it'd been well over 45 minutes since the last text from Erin . When he tried calling it went straight to voicemail, definitely unlike her. "Still not answering?' Marion comes back to refill his mug. "No, it's not like her. She said she was running a little late but this beyond a little late." Hank sighed. "I'm sure she has a good exscuse Hank."
"I swear if she's with Jay, fooling around, I'll have one of them transferred out of intelligence before they can blink." Marion shook her head, "now Hank, I'm sure there's a good reason for her tardiness." Just as Hank was going to say something, his phone started ringing. "See? I bet that's her now." Hank smiled, before glancing at, "it's Antonio." Marion sat down across from Hank, as he answered the call. "Go for Voight." She watched his smile turn quickly into a frown, as the phone call carried on. "Tell everyone to meet me there, I'm on my way." Hang hung up the phone and stood up, pulling his jacket on, not making any eye contact with Marion. "Hank? By the look on your face, something is very wrong. What is it?" Hank looked up at Marion, "Something's happened to Erin, I don't know anymore details." Marion frowned, "you call me as soon as you find out what happened. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help." Hank nodded, "I will. Thank you Marion." He gave her a quick hug, and left money for the coffee on the table before heading out the door. As he took a step outside, he felt moisture on his face. It was raining earlier, but it stopped for now. Reaching up, he felt a single tear down his face. He wasn't a man of many emotions but after that phone call, just about every emotion was running through him. It didn't help that he had no idea what happened to Erin, all he knew was that something bad happened and someone was going to pay.
