Erin woke up in the hospital and the last thing she remembered was her yelling at Severide to save Jay, the rest was a blur, she remembered talking to Severide after that but she couldn't remember what was said. When she woke up Voight was by her side with both his elbows leaning on her bed. One of his hands was holding hers and his other pointer finger was rubbing his upper lip. He looked like he was deep in thought.
"Hey, you're not getting rid of me that easy, I've been through worse." She laughed.
Voight shot up and looked at her, he looked as if he was about to cry, "Erin… what happened back there?"
Erin shook her head, "We were shot at in the neighborhood, the CI's are targeting Jay, I don't know why…but we were shot at and Jay was injured and we switched places and I was checking to make sure he was okay, and I took my eyes off the road, is he- is Jay okay?"
Voight nodded his head, "They got him to the hospital just in time, he should be fine."
"I am so sorry, Voight. I shouldn-"
"Hey, Erin. Listen to me, the first thing I care about is you." He squeezed her hand a little tighter, "You're the only person I really care about."
It all came rushing back to Erin like a tidal wave. What Kelly said to her back at the accident, "Is Kelly here?"
Voight shook his head, "After the accident he did come here, they were working on you, and you're going to be okay by the way." Voight cracked a slight smile.
"I knew that." Erin assured him.
"But still, Kelly went back to work, he's a good guy." Voight nodded his head while saying this. Erin knew he wasn't trying to convince her; he was trying to convince himself.
"I don't know what I would have done if I lost you, Erin. I lo-"
Erin smiled, "I know." Voight had told Erin he loved her on only one other occasion. Erin was 20 years old and she had been living with Voight for a few years now, and she was sent in under cover. She wasn't part of intelligence yet, but she went back as a CI sort of thing. She had to get information for Voight. She was found out immediately and they beat her immensely. Voight came right when she was on the verge of death. He was crying, it was the first time she had seen him cry, and he told her he loved her, over and over. She wasn't supposed to make it, but it was miracle that she did.
Voight smiled, "You didn't let me finish."
"I love you too." She smiled back.
"I'm going to check on Halstead, but I will be back later. Don't go anywhere."
"I couldn't even if I wanted to."
Voight left the room and her door opened right after.
"Wow that was-" she turned and looked at the door and turned white.
"Erin, great to see your okay, I'm sure you remember me?"
"Get out. Get out now!" She screamed.
"That's no way to talk to an old friend, is it?"
Erin Lindsay, for the first time in a long time, turned pale with fear.
"If you do not get out of my room, I will scream and Voight will come in and have no problem killing you like he should have seven years ago."
The man laughed, his shaggy black hair made him look like the exact same man who beat her and got away seven years ago. "Don't talk to me like that. Remember the last time you spoke out of turn?"
"Yeah, I almost died, but I'm not the same girl I was seven years ago."
"And I am not the same man I was seven years ago. The last time I saw you I was just a boy, and now? Now I am the man."
Erin rolled her eyes, "You're repulsive." She hit the nurse button on her bed as quickly as she could. A nurse came in right away.
"Detective, are you alright?"
"I'm tired and this man is disturbing me. Is there anyway you can make him leave?"
"Let me get Sargent Voight for you."
"Sounds perfect." Erin raised her eyebrows in the direction of the black haired man.
The nurse left and the man shook his head, "Erin, I thought you would have learned by now you shouldn't do things that put me in a bad situation-" He was cut off by Antonio opening the door.
"Hey, Erin everything okay in here?" Antonio could clearly tell that everything was not okay, but he was not as intimidating as Voight is.
Erin shook her head slowly.
"I was just leaving." The man said.
"And don't come back." Erin added.
"You wont have to worry. I will catch you at another time."
Antonio stepped forward, "If I ever see you around again, I will make sure it is the last time anyone ever sees you."
The man put his hands up in surrender, "Got it, chief."
The man walked out the door and Erin almost burst into tears. Her past was back to haunt her, again.
Antonio came by her best side and Erin couldn't hold it in anymore. Erin burst out in sobs and Antonio sat on her bed, "Erin…"
He put his arm around her and her head laid on his chest, "Who was that?"
Erin shook her head, "I can't tell you."
Antonio pulled her chin up and they locked eyes, "You can tell me, Erin."
"His name…his name was Liam. He was the one- the one who…"
Antonio nodded his head, "The one who beat you to the brink of death."
Erin nodded her head, and laid back on Antonio. Voight walked into the room and rushed over to her bed, "What Erin, are you okay?"
Antonio shook his head, "Someone came looking for her, boss."
"Who?" Voight's raspy voice demanded.
"Liam."
Voight's face got red with anger, and he pulled out his phone.
"Olinsky, we are going to find someone, Liam Adams, I will tell you the details on the way."
Voight rushed out of the room and Erin sobbed to Antonio, "You cannot let him kill Liam, please do anything you can!" The truth was, Erin used to love Liam.
