Well, here is another chapter, but I am starting finals this week, so the updates may not be as frequent. But again, hope you like this chapter!
Jay walked through the neighborhood with his hood up. He knew he could get killed, but at this point, who would really care? Erin didn't care about him, hell, his own boss didn't even care about him. He risked his life everyday for them and for the people of Chicago yet he wasn't allowed to date the girl he liked. That made no sense to him. Yeah, Erin had a messy past, but he was prepared to make her future bright. Jay shook his head thinking about it. All of the sudden he felt two hands on his shoulders. He turned around and drew his gun as fast as he could.
"Shit Olinsky!" Jay yelled.
"Sorry." Olinsky said without much emotion.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jay thought he was going to die from shock.
"Are you going to come back to the station or what?"
Jay shook his head, "I don't belong there."
"What does that mean?" Antonio said coming from behind Jay.
Jay turned to look at Antonio, "You guys are all a family. You worked with Voight for as long as your careers and Erin has lived with him for what almost eleven years?" He looked to them for confirmation; the only thing he got was nodding heads. "You are all a family, like I said-"
"And you aren't?" Antonito cut him off.
"Sometimes, I don't think so."
"Jay, you need to understand that we have known each other for a long time, but we love you. You're one of us, Voight would have never let you into this unit if he didn't like you, you realize that right?"
Jay nodded his head, "Is that true?" This time he wanted to hear Olinsky confirm.
"Jay, Antonio is right. But with Voight, Erin comes before everyone. Damn, Erin comes before his own son."
"Really? His own son?"
They both nodded, "So, Halstead are you coming back or not?" Antonio asked with a smile.
Jay sighed, "You're not going to tell anyone about this right?"
Antonio smirked, "About how you actually have feelings? Of course we are telling everyone."
Jay walked with them to their car, "So am I riding in the back?"
"Of course not." Olinsky replied.
Jay looked around, "There's only one car…" And of course right as Jay said that, another car pulled up. Voight.
Jay looked at the other two detectives, "Great." He muttered under his breath. He wished Erin was the one pulling up in the car.
"Get in!" Voight yelled when he rolled down his window.
Jay walked over to the passenger side and got in.
Voight shook his head, "Why Halstead?"
"What?" Jay responded, only partially confused.
"Why did you leave? We need you. You're a good detective. Like I said before, I have a lot of respect for you." Voight drove out of the neighborhood as quickly as he could.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"To save your life."
Jay didn't get it, "I literally do not know what you are saying right now."
"How do you not get it? You are a walking target. I am like a human dart. I can hit or miss you, Halstead."
Jay shook his head, "That metaphor made no sense."
Voight gave him the look, the look that told him to shut up, "Fine, I mean to say, I can get this target off your back."
"I don't even know why I have it on my back in the first place!" Jay was getting genuinely angry.
"Doesn't matter, you're on their radar now." Voight had dealt with this personally in the past.
"What can I do to get off their radar?" Jay was willing to do anything.
"Do not go anywhere near them. Someone will deal your CI's, from this point on, they are no longer your CI's. Do you understand that?" Voight was looking for a real answer.
"Of course. What else?"
"You almost got one of your CI's killed when you went Charlie- hunting in the hood. That lost you a lot of your CI's. We will have to find you new ones once you can get back in there."
Jay nodded his head, "So they want to kill me because I'm a cop?"
Voight shook his head, "They want to kill you in order to protect each other. If you almost got one of your CI's killed and if one of them almost died, then more can too. You are putting their lives at risk, and they will do anything for each other. Do you get that?"
Jay nodded his head, "So just stay clear of the hood?"
"Stay clear of the hood."
They pulled into the parking lot and Jay got out of the car. Voight didn't though.
"Aren't you coming in?" Jay asked.
"No, Olinsky and Ruzek are going to talk to a few of their CI's. Dawson is coming with me to continue on the case."
"What about Erin?" Jay asked.
"I don't know." Voight obviously did know, and wasn't willing to tell Jay. But what else was really new?
Jay sighed and walked into the station and up into the Intelligence Unit.
Erin was sitting at her desk and say Jay come up the stairs. She walked over to him and punched him on his good shoulder.
"Ouch, how do you know I didn't hurt that one too?" Jay laughed a little.
"Not funny. You could have died. You are so dumb!" Erin yelled.
Jay smiled, "I am not dumb. I just didn't know where to go."
"So you went to the place where people want to kill you?"
"Erin, we need to talk." Jay was serious. He needed to know what this was. If they were never going to be together he wanted to know, so he could get over her.
"Jay, whatever talk we are going to have is pointless. You know the rules." Erin shook her head.
Jay smirked at her, "I know but rules were created to be broken."
Just another quick question for you guys, do you like more description or dialogue? :)
