Chapter 6

Jay sat at his desk tiredly. He hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night and it didn't help that he was stuck with paper work until everyone arrived.

"Halstead you look like shit, want a cup of joe?" Ruzek jokes, he was the second to arrive at the district.

"Yes please" Jay mumbles. Ruzek's smile disappears. He stands next to Jay's desk and leans down so he is eye level with him.

"I heard about Justin showing up at Lindsay's apartment last night, also heard you kicked his nuts in. What the hell happened to you last night?" Jay opens his mouth to speak but closes it the moment Voight steps foot in the district.

"Halstead, my office" The older man says coldly. Ruzek slaps him on the back and mutters 'good luck' before his fellow detective walks dreadfully to the sergeant's office.

"You talked with Lindsay this morning?" Voight asks as he sits down at his desk.

"No sir" Jay answers.

"Well she isn't picking up her phone, I stopped by her apartment and she wasn't there. You best get your ass out there and help find her, you're supposed to have her back Halstead. I expect a lot from you when it comes to Lindsay" Jay's heart was racing a thousand times a minute, what the hell did Justin do?

"Want me to go now? She might just be-" Jay is cut off by Voight standing up quickly and peering out his office window. There Erin was, walking towards the break room.

"Am I dismissed?" Jay asks eagerly. He wanted to go see Erin, he wondered why she hadn't answered her phone. Voight nods so Jay walks out of his office and towards the break room. He stops at the door when he hears gentle sobs and sniffles. Jay carefully steps foot in the break room, he stands next to her by the coffee maker. He places hand on her shoulder and looks at her concerned, that was when he saw her face.

"Erin what happened?" Jay asks quietly. Erin shakes her head and squeezes her eyes shut.

"Erin, I'm your partner, talk to me" He urges. She looks at him and takes a deep breath, preparing herself to speak.

"Last night, after you left…" she starts to say. She exhales slowly and looks at the counter, refusing to look at Jay.

"Justin's friend Catalano or whatever his name is, he came to my apartment and said he needed to talk about Justin so I let him in." Erin looks around to make sure no one was around except Jay.

"He started beating me, telling me to stay out of Justin's life. I tried taking my gun out but he somehow grabbed it from my hands. It all happened so fast and i-" She stops to cry a little more, her head in her hands on the counter.

"I didn't fight hard enough and he just wouldn't stop until I told him I'd make sure he wasn't put in prison. He left after that, took my gun and my phone" Erin finally finishes. Jay's fists were clenched, rage seethed through his veins, something was going to be done. And results were going to be shown, and soon. Jay storms out of the break room and into Voight's office, the older man stares at him curiously.

"Erin okay?" Voight asked. Jay shook his head and stepped closer to Voight's desk.

"Catalano attacked Erin last night, took her phone and gun." Jay blurts out.

"You went after Erin?! What the hell is wrong with you man?" Justin yells at his 'friend.' Joe simply laughs as he watches Justin's nostrils flare angrily.

"My dad is gonna kill me! What the hell is wrong with you where you think you can just beat a woman and not get in trouble?" Joe takes a step closer to Justin, smirk and all.

"She's a real pretty thing, too bad she's into that partner of hers. Yeah, I know you like her man. You're jealous of that Halstead guy that you always talk about. I bet, oh I definitely bet you imagine being the one taking her clothes off instead of Halstead. Aren't I right?" Joe teases sinisterly. Justin slugs Joe right in the nose, which causes it to bleed.

"Just shut up!" Justin snaps. Joe laughs and starts walking out of the park. Justin took out his phone and looked scrolled through his contacts until he spotted 'Hank'. He hesitated on the button to press call for a moment, his dad would not take it well that's for sure.

"Take him to the cage" Voight instructs Antonio and Alvin. The two gladly escort Joe Catalano down to the cage, he would deserve every last punch, cut or bruise he received.

"Think you're cool huh? Beatin' up women, I see you haven't changed much. Have fun with Voight" Ruzek threatens as he handcuffs Catalano to the cage.

Erin sat at her desk, watching everyone all busy dealing with Catalano. She was so deep in thought she didn't even see Jay looking at her from his desk.

"Erin-"

"Can I… can I stay at your place tonight?" She suddenly asks, looking at him with tired, desperate eyes.

"Yeah of course" Jay agrees. Voight then emerged from his office and headed towards the cage, Erin gets up and catches up, Jay does the same.

"Erin you sure you wanna do this?" Voight asks her. She nods and breathes deeply.

"Well well… if it isn't Justin's precious sister" He smirks confidently.

"Enough of the games Catalano, where's Justin?" Erin asks demandingly.

"Why don't you call him, oh wait… he's too afraid to answer" Joe replies. Voight had enough so he orders the other detectives out so that he and Joe were alone.

"You were brave Lindsay" Olinsky compliments, wrapping his arms around the shoulders of the young detective.

"I always hated the Disney princesses as a kid. They gave young girls false hope that life would be as great as these princess's lives, fall in love with the perfect guy and live happily ever after. What about you?" Erin asks Jay sleepily as they sit on his couch. She had her head rested on his lap and his hand stroked her soft hair.

"I always hated sleeping beauty, I think its because my mom played it for my younger cousin Tara (idk if Jay has a cousin named Tara but I'm adding her to the story as a little filler character) so much that I got sick of it but it could also be because in that movie all it took was a kiss to bring the girl back to life. Well that obviously doesn't happen" Jay adds. Erin looked up at Jay and smiled, this was the highlight of her day, and nothing could ruin it. Especially because Catalano is locked up, Justin is being sent to the military by Voight, and most important of all, Voight gave everyone the night off.

Erin sat up then stood in front of Jay, she grabs his hand and pulls him up off the couch. His hands find her waist as she rests her head against his chest, the soft thump of his heart putting her at ease.

"Thanks… for everything" She says after pulling away.

"You've always been there for me" Jay mumbles with a smile. Jay stood there looking into her eyes, something came over him and he swooped her up in his arms bridal style.

"Jay!" She laughs. He tosses her onto his soft bed, She crawls under the blankets where Jay soon joins. He rolls on top of her, hovering only a few inches away then places a soft, steamy kiss on her perfect lips. Well perfect to him anyway.

This time, there were no interruptions. No Hank, no Justin. No one but the two having the time of their lives. When they finished, Erin snuggled close to Jay, resting her heavy eye lids.

"Good night" She whispers drowsily. To her amazement, the man holding her close was already sleeping.

A/N- hey readers! So glad everyone is liking this story so far! The reviews inspire me to write more and make them the best to my abilities. The reason I left out the raunchy sex details is cause this moment was meant to be special… and I feel like gruesome details takes away from the image im trying to portray. I hope you all enjoy! Linstead on! :)
