It has been forever since I've updated and i am so sorry for that! I had finals and then I got sick but I am back! I should be updating every other day now, but I am starting work soon for the summer. I will try my best! Thank you all for your comments and favorites and follows. I hope you like this chapter, and I was going to go a different way with the story, but I changed my mind...for now...
Erin's facial expression didn't change, "If we break even one rule, you're out. And I don't want to be the reason you are kicked out of this unit."
Jay nodded, "But this is my choice too!"
Erin shook her head, "No it isn't. It isn't either of our choices. And that's the saddest part."
Jay nodded his head again, "So what are you working on?" Jay had to get this off of his mind somehow.
"The drug bust we thought was going to be a great thing ended up being a distraction. They wanted us there while they were moving the drugs somewhere else. We need to find where they actually brought them by tonight or else we lose the case altogether."
"Don't you have a date with the fireman tonight?" Jay nudged her.
Erin's eyes went wide, "I will be right back!" And before Jay could even blink, she was out the door.
"Erin!" He started to yell, but she was too far-gone, "you left your phone…"
Jay looked down at her phone. He knew he shouldn't look at it, but he just couldn't help himself. He slide the bar of her iPhone over, and of course it required a passcode. He thought to himself, what was that fireman's name…Kelly, right. But this could only be four letters, not five. Erin. Would she really use her own name as her passcode? He thought it was worth a try, 3-7-4-6. The phone was open for him to use.
"Too easy." Jay said out loud to himself. He went to her messages and went right to Voight's name. There were multiple texts from Voight that she hadn't answered.
"Where are you?"
"You disappear every night. Where are you going?"
"Erin, answer me."
"Stay away from Liam, Erin please."
"Liam is nothing but trouble. Erin, if you know what's good for you, you will stop. Severide is coming over to look after you. Don't make it hard for him."
That was the last text from last night. Who was Liam and where was Erin going with him? Was she really going to see Severide right now or was she going to see Liam? Jay locked her phone and put it back where he found it on her desk. He heard people coming up the stairs and he quickly ran to his desk and made himself look busy. It was Voight and Antonio.
"Where's Erin?" Voight questioned Jay.
"She went to go see Severide at the station."
"Are you sure that's where she was going?" Voight looked concerned.
"No, why?" Jay pushed for an answer.
"I was just wondering. She just hasn't been focused, that's all." Voight walked straight into his office without letting Jay get out another word. Voight paced around his desk on the phone. Jay assumed he was calling Erin, but he got no answer. Voight stormed out of his office.
"Halstead! Let's go!" He yelled as he was walking down the stairs.
Jay look to Antonio and Antonio shook his head, "Just go."
Jay did as he was told by his boss.
Erin marched into the fire station like a woman on a mission. She first ran into Gabby Dawson.
"Hey Erin." Gabby greeted her with a smile.
"Gabby, hey, have you seen Kelly?"
Gabby nodded, "He should be inside. Just go in."
Erin nodded, "Thank you."
Erin walked through the door remembering the first night she had met Kelly. He had pissed off the wrong person and she had to protect Kelly. Then his sister went missing and she helped get her back.
Kelly saw her walk in, "Hey, Erin." He looked so happy to see her.
"Hey." She didn't return the happiness.
"You okay?" Kelly could tell something was wrong.
"I have to take down Liam."
"What?" Kelly didn't get it.
"I told you, he is back in town. He has been trying to contact me…"
Kelly nodded his head, "Why are you taking him down? Won't that get you into trouble too?"
Erin was silent for a minute. "Yes." She said quickly.
"Then you can't do it."
"I don't have a choice. It's kinda my job remember?"
"I don't know Erin-" He was cut off by the sound of the alarm calling his squad to a fire.
"Erin, I gotta go, do not do anything yet, do you understand me?!"
Erin nodded, but she had no choice. This wasn't something she could control. Voight would find out soon enough and he would take down Liam himself. He had tried the night after he visited the hospital, but Liam had to ability to stay hidden if he really wanted. Erin got in her car and went back to the station. She hadn't even told Kelly that she couldn't go out with him tonight, maybe he just assumed it. She parked her car in her spot outside of the station and started to walk up the stairs.
"Erin!" She heard someone call out her name.
She looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Erin!" The voice called at her again.
She walked back down the stairs and looked around. She saw Liam standing on the side of the building.
"What are you doing here? If Voight sees you-"
"I know, I'm dead, but Voight is already looking for me, or at least that's what I hear." Liam gave Erin a glare.
"I'm trying my best to stop it, but it won't be easy."
"Where are they looking?"
Erin shook her head, "I cant tell you that."
Liam nodded and started to walk away, "There's a lot of things I shouldn't tell about you Erin, but one wrong move, and all your secrets will be out. You cant hide from me, not forever."
