Chapter 4
Hank Voight sits at his desk in his office, everyone had been long gone and he was left to his thoughts. He reaches under the keyboard roll out thing on his desk and carefully un-tapes a stack of pictures. He looks at each one for a while. One was of Erin cooking for the first time on Voight's favorite grill, Justin was doing bunny ears behind her head with a smile. She hadn't even known Voight's wife got the picture. The second one was a picture of Erin sleeping on the floor with their old dog Stinker who passed away not long after that picture was taken.
Voight was about to flip to the next picture but a heavy panting at his opened office door stopped him. He quickly hides the pictures and looks up to see Antonio, blood on his hands.
"Antonio, what happened" Voight questions carefully.
"It's Justin, he showed up at Molly's looking for Erin and-"Antonio stops to take a deep breath.
"We told him she went home, so he left and then there was gun shots… we went out to look and found him on the pavement clutching his stomach." Voight shot up from his desk and pushes past Antonio. The man who attacked Erin must have a group, a large one that got the memo. They had gone too far.
Voight arrives at the hospital where he is greeted by a nurse.
"Family of Justin Voight?"
"I'm his father, where is he?" Hank rasps.
"He's in surgery, we won't know much for at least a couple more hours. We promise to call with any new information" Voight nods and angrily sits down in the waiting room. It was long after he sat down when Erin rushed through the hospital doors and saw Hank.
"Is he alright? Antonio called me and told me what happened"
"They don't know much, we have to wait." Voight mumbles.
"I'm so sorry Hank" She whispers, gently holding his bicep.
"I want to catch these guys, I'll act as bait and we'll get em' Hank" Voight shakes his head.
"Absolutely not" He disagrees. Erin frowns, she stands up angrily and looks at Voight.
"If you won't let me then I'm doing it on my own. With or without your help, you won't win this argument Voight. You know that" Hank sighs at her persistence.
"Fine, but it goes down how I say. Got that?" She nods and sits back down.
Hank felt Erin's head against his shoulder, she drifted off to sleep in the few hours of being there, still no news about Justin. Hank heard Erin's phone going off in her pocket. She wasn't aware of it so he grabs her jacket from the seat next to him without waking her and grabs her phone. Jay Halstead.
"What do you want Halstead?" Voight grumbles into the phone, waking Erin almost instantly.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing with my phone?" She says protectively and snatches it from him, hanging up on Halstead.
"Halstead was probably just checking in on Justin! What the hell Hank!?" Voight chuckles, the first real smile stretching across his face all day.
"This reminds me of that time you were hanging out with that Cody kid, you'd never let me on your phone because you knew I didn't approve of him" Hank reminisces. Erin felt her face heat with embarrassment, this is what happened with nearly all the guys Erin hung out with.
"I thought I told you my thoughts about you hanging out with him?" Just as Erin is about to answer, the doctor comes out into the waiting room.
"He made it through surgery, the bullet did hit an artery but we were able to stop the bleeding and get the wound all fixed up. He should recover just fine" The doctor explains. Erin laughs happily and hugs Voight, relived at the news.
"When can we see him?" Voight asks.
"He hasn't woke up yet but you can see him now if you'd like"
"Call when he wakes up, we'll be back tomorrow" Voight says. Erin waves bye to the doctor, who smiled and waved back.
"Hey Voight, how would you feel about me dating a doctor?" She jokes.
"Just get in the car Kid" Voight says as he ruffles her curls. He knew she was joking. After all, she was never the type of girl to go after the rich type.
"So what you're saying is you're going to use yourself as bait to catch these guys? I don't know if I feel comfortable about that" Jay says worriedly as he leans against the black van set up with cameras and all that good stuff.
"Yes Jay, I'm sick of being hunted down and people I care about getting hurt. I need to do this" Erin explains.
"I envy you Lindsay, be safe. Please" Jay says seriously. Erin looked around quickly and practically threw herself into Jay's arms and squeezed him tight. He saw Voight talking to Antonio, they were approaching so he whispered in Erin's ear which caused her to step away from Jay.
"If this all goes down as planned, perhaps we could finally have that dinner" She adds quickly before walking over to Voight.
"You sure about this?" Antonio asks her for the 5th time in an hour. She nods and takes a deep breath, hops in the van and the crew drives off. It was late at night when they decided to send Erin out to the trailer park where they figured out was the gangs hide out.
Erin walked up to the door and looked through the window. A group of men were gathered around a TV which played photos and videos of Erin.
"Man she is hot, what I wouldn't give to tie her down and have my way with her" One comments. Erin wanted to throw up from her nerves, she couldn't back down now. She knocks on the door and looks at the ground. Finally one of them comes to the door.
"Can I help you?" One grumbles.
"I'm sorry to bug you sirs, but I need some help finding a building around here" She says, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Well I'll be… guys its Erin Lindsay!" The greeter yells into the home.
"W-what?" She stutters, trying to act completely surprised. The man at the door grabs onto her wrist and yanks her into the home, locking the door behind him.
"Macki! Grab them ropes!" Voight and the rest of the detectives listen carefully but are disgusted by it.
"C'mon you filthy bastards… say it" Voight whispers out loud.
"I bet Ivan would love to be here right now, but unfortunately he got pinched. Asked us to do the job" Another brags.
"Bingo, roll in" Voight commands his team. Ruzek, Olinsky, Halstead, Dawson and Voight jump out of their vehicles and gather at the front door.
"1…2…3" Voight counts. Halstead shoots the door's lock and kicks the door open
"Chicago P.D! put your hands up!" Voight yells. Jay runs over to Erin who was in the corner of the room with her hands tied behind her back. He cuts her bonds free and helps her stand up.
"You were brave kid, we finally got em" Voight says to her admirably. He puts his arm around the width of her shoulders and walks her over to the black van. Jin had a blanket waiting for her, which she gladly wrapped around herself.
"Hey man, you alright?" Antonio asks Halstead. Jay had spaced out as he leaned against his car, thinking about Erin.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I don't think I'm the one you should be concerned about though" Antonio nods and pats Jay's shoulder.
"She's alive man, at least we got em' this time"
A/N- sorry for the wait guys! So Erin's attackers have finally been caught! New drama soon to be added, kinda playing it off the show a little bit though. Hope you enjoy!
