"I'm not sure. All I know is that they were going to ask questions with a suspect and he opened fired." Laura explained as a surgeon walked out of the OR.

"Family of Antonio Dawson." Dr Holland, the doctor who treated Gabby a couple of weeks ago.

"How is he?" Laura asked, standing up.

"He is stable, we were able to repair the damage to the artery. He is very lucky. He will be in Recovery for a couple of hours before being moved to a room under surveillance." Dr Holland said.

"When can we see him?" Gabby asked, also standing up.

"Didn't I treat you a couple of weeks ago." He said, looking at her bandaged hand.

"Yeah. Back to my brother. When can we see him?" She asked again, changing the topic from her back to Antonio.

"Once he is in his own room. Until then, go home and get some rest." Dr Holland said, before taking his leave.

"I'm going to take the kids home. Are you coming?" Laura asked, watching as the kids stood up.

"No, I need to get back to the firehouse. I'm still on shift." She said, hugging them all before starting the long walk back to the firehouse.

Half an hour later

"Hey. We were worried about you." Matt said, watching her walk through the common room doors.

"Sorry I had to go do something." She said, sitting down at the table.

"I guess you went to the hospital to see how your brother was, and how many stitches did you get?" Casey asked, setting a glass of water in front of her.

"Five stitches. Boden tell you about Antonio?" She asked, drinking the water down quickly.

"Yeah. There is another letter on your bunk." Cruz said, watching her quickly stand up and walk into the bunk rooms.

"What does it say?" Casey asked, watching her read it over and over again.

'Stop helping Casey or more of your family will be hurt.' it read.

"I'm taking this in," Casey said, grabbing her arm to help steady her.

"Why does this keep happening?" She asked, sitting down on the edge of her bunk.

"I don't know but whoever it is, we will get them. I promise." Matt said, pulling her to her feet and hugging her close.

"I hope so. I don't know how much more I can take." She mumbled into his chest.

"It's going to be okay. Come on, let's go tell Boden and go down to the station." He said, wrapping an arm around her waist and leading her towards Boden's office.

District 21

"We will get this to forensics straight away. You're the younger sister of Detective Dawson aren't you?" The man behind the desk asked, taking the bag with the letter in it.

"Yeah I am. We have been getting these for the last 2-3 weeks." She said, looking at her hands.

"Yeah, anyway this will go straight to forensics. We will contact you if we find anything." He said, before watching them leave through the doors.

Firehouse 51

"Dawson, Laura and the kids have been moved to protective custody until they catch whoever is threatning you and your family." Boden said, watching as she walked away towards the bunks.

"Gabs are you okay?" Casey asked.

"Not really." She said, sitting on her bunk.

"It's going to be okay." He whispered coming closer to her and wrapping his arms around her.

"I hope so." She whispered back, looking up at him.

"Do you want to go see your brother after shift?" He asked, kissing her forehead.

"Yeah. Do you want to come?" She asked, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I'll be there for your support and Antonio." He said, hugging her close.

"Thankyou." She said, kissing him on the lips.

"Sorry to interrupt. Uh Boden told me to let you know you can both take the rest of the shift off." Shay said as they pulled away from each other.

"Thanks." Gabby said, hugging her best friend.

"I want details later girl." Shay whispered into her friends ear.

"Yes Ma'am." She replied, pulling away and walking away with Matt towards his truck.

Lakeshore

"Which room is Antonio Dawson in?" Casey asked at the nurses station.

"Last room down the halls. With the police surveillance." The nurse behind the desk replied, pointing them in the right direction.

"Thanks. Come on." Matt said, wrapping an arm around Gabby's shoulders and leading her down the hallway.

"Name?" The man at the door asked, looking at a check list of names.

"Gabriela Dawson and Matthew Casey." Gabby said, looking at him.

"You're on the list. Don't be too long. They are still doing blood transfusions." He said. "And one at a time."

"I'll go in first." Gabby said, before entering the hospital room.

She walked quietly over to the bedside. "Knock, knock."

"Hey." He said in a raspy voice, turning his head towards her.

"Hey. How you doin?" she asked, holding his hand.

"Sore." He replied, smirking a little.

"Well duh of course its gonna hurt." She said, turning to face the window so he can't see her tears.

"Hey, I'm going to be fine. And we are going to find the asshole who did this." he said, watching her stand there.

"I know. Laura and the kids are safe. They took them into protective custody until they find who did this. They are thinking the person who did this is associated with Voight." She said, turning back to face him and sitting on his bed.

"Well they are thinking along the right lines too." Antonio said, as Matt walked into the room.

"Hey. They let me. How you doin?" He asked Antonio shaking his hand.

"Sore. You look after my sister, otherwise I will find you and make your life miserable." Antonio said, looking him in the eye.

"How did you know?" Gabby asked, looking at him.

"Brother knows everything." He said, laughing at her before wincing in pain.

"Get some rest. I'm going to find out where Laura and the kids are." Gabby said, kissing his cheek before leaving the room.

Firehouse 51

"How's your brother?" Otis asked, as they walked through the door with Eva and Diego with Laura behind them.

"Good. He's sore." Gabby said, sitting down at the long table with Laura next to her.

"I'm going to take these two and go show them the truck rig and squad rig." Matt said, guiding Eva and Diego towards the Apparatus Floor.

"Thankyou for staying with us. I just can't stand not being in the house." Laura said, accepting a cup of coffee from her.

"Its okay. As long as there is police outside on all entry points we should be safe. And I know martial arts so it will help." Gabby said, smiling over her cup.

"Hallelujah! We're saved." Laura joked.

"You're funny." Gabby said, as the alarm went off.

"Ambulance 61...Breathing difficulties." Dispatched called over the PA system

"Ah, thats me. Stay here." Gabby said, before running out the door

Apparatus Floor

"Watch your aunt and Shay. They have to move fast too even though they don't have to suit up. They only have to suit up sometimes." Matt explained, pulling the two kids away from the rig.

"Bye Aunt Gabby." They called, waving as she ran to the ambulance.

"Bye guys." She said, before climbing into the passenger seat and driving away.

Half an hour later

"Hey. I see you did stick around. I finish shift tomorrow. So if you want the kids can sleep on my bunk or you can share Matt's." Gabby said, finding them in the kitchen cooking.

"And before you ask, I don't mind." Matt said, easing her concerns.

"Thankyou. What time do you finish?" Laura asked, adding some spice to the paella.

"Tomorrow morning at 8.30." Gabby replied, grabbing some safron from the back of the cupboard.

"So you do keep spices in here." Mills said, looking into the pot.

"Yeah. I keep them up the back whenever I cook." Gabby said, walking around the table and placing plates of bread out.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, watching as Matt took the cups from her.

"Didn't come up." She replied, smiling at Matt.

"Gabby. Come with me." Shay said, dragging her friend away.

Laundry room

"So, what's going on between you and the Lieutenant?" Shay asked, as they put on another load of washing, that for some reason kept building up.

"Um, well I guess we are kinda dating." She replied, as Shay pushed her to the side.

"Finally!" Shay exclaimed, jumping on top of the dryer.

"Shut up. You can't tell anyone." Gabby said, leaning against the washing machine.

"You got my word." Shay said, as they walked back towards the common room.

Common room

"Dinner is served." Gabby said, placing the pot on a cooling rack as the men grabbed bowls.

"Smells great." Boden said, sitting down at the head of the table while the others took their places.

"Yeah, well Laura is a great cook." Gabby said, grabbing a bowl as well.

"Not as good as you." She said, sitting next to her.

"You're both even." Eva said, sitting next to Mouch and Diego.

"Thanks." They said, smiling as they began to eat.

"This is great." Mouch said, grabbing a bit of bread.

"Guess who is doing the cleaning up?" Severide said, turning around to face him.

"Who?" They all asked.

"Us." He replied, standing up and taking the bowls.

"Great. This should be interesting. Do you even know how to use a tap Severide?" Gabby asked, sitting back in her chair.

"Uh, I will work it out." He said, as they all moved towards the kitchen.

"Mouch, do you know how to use a sponge?" Laura asked, watching him look at it.

"What he said." He replied, before turning around to face the sink.

Lakeshore

"I want to go home." Antonio argued with the doctor.

"Well I'm sorry but you can't. You're still on blood transfusions." Dr Holland said, signing off the chart for that day.

"Listen to the doctor." Laura said, walking into the room with Gabby and the kids following.

"Hey. What are you doing here? You should be in protective custody." Antonio said, kissing her.

"Yeah well, Gabby bailed us out of there for her staying with us and police at all entry points." Laura explained, as both kids sat on the edge of the bed.

"I don't like it." He said, poking Eva and Diego.

"It's the only other option." Gabby said, standing by the window.

"Still don't like it. What are you doing here anyway, shouldn't you be at 51?" He asked, looking at her.

"I couldn't stand sitting there watching grown men work out how to use a tap." She deadpanned.

"That would of been funny." He said, laughing.

"It was." Laura said.

"I'll be back." Gabby said, before taking her leave.

"When are you getting out Daddy?" Eva asked, hugging her father.

"Next week hopefully." He replied, hugging her back.

"Ambulance 61...Squad 3...Truck 81...Multiple person trapped including infant..." Dispatched called over the radio as Gabby walked back into the room.

"Copy that. Ambulance 61 reponding. Shay, can you get me a Lakeshore?" She called back through the radio.

"On my way Dawson." She called back.

"Sorry guys, I need to go. I will leave my car keys with you so you can get back to the firehouse." Gabby said, giving Laura her keys before giving them all a kiss and running out the door.

5 hours later

"Hey, how did it go?" Laura asked, as they walked into the common room shedding their turn out gear.

"Well we didn't lose anyone." Gabby said, sitting down in one of the chairs.

"That's good news. Coffee? Fresh pot just finished brewing." Laura offered, holding up the pot.

"Ah. Sweet caffeine." Gabby said, pouring herself a cup as the rest of them got up.

"Good stuff too." Laura said, sitting down.

"It is. Where are Eva and Diego?" She asked, sitting down.

"Sleeping in Matt's bunk." She replied, leaning her head back.

"How is Antonio? When is he being released?" Shay asked, stopping in the door way.

"He is good. And next week. I'm tired, so I'm going to go lay down with the kids. Night guys." Laura said, hugging Gabby and smiling at the others.

"Night." They replied, watching her walk out.

Next day

"Morning. Pancakes are in the kitchen." Gabby said, watching as all the men walked out of the bunk room rubbing their eyes.

"What time have you been up since?" Cruz asked, grabbing some and sitting down at the table.

"5ish." She replied, grabbing her fourth cup of coffee.

"Did you make all this?" Laura asked, walking into the kitchen with Eva and Diego following.

"Yeah." Gabby said, as Herrmann came running into the room.

"Dawson! You need to see this." He said, watching her drop her cup onto the counter and run out the door.

"No, no, no." She said running towards her car, stopping suddenly as it exploded into bigger flames.

"Gabby careful!" Matt yelled as she stumbled back a few feet from the explosion.

"I'm okay." She said, walking up to him running her hands through her hair as Engine put the fire out.

"Are you sure?" Laura asked running up to her.

"Yeah I'm fine really. My car isn't though." She said, looking back at her charred car.

"This was found on it." Severide said, as she put on a pair of gloves to take the note.

I won't stop. Stop helping Casey. Or I go after your niece and nephew.

"Ah." She gasped, dropping it before turning around.

"What?" Casey asked, watching as Severide picked up the note.

"Where is Diego and Eva?" Gabby asked, walking quickly into the firehouse.

"Matt's quarters." Laura said, following her.

"Oh thank god." She said, finding them both in the room safe. "I want you to go home with the police, make sure every door and window is locked. And have a couple in the house with you. I need to go see Antonio."

"Why? What's wrong?" Laura asked, noticing the fear creeping into her eyes and voice.

"I will explain later. Wait for an escort or get Severide to take you to District 21. You will be safe there." Gabby said, grabbing Matt's keys.

Lakeshore

"Antonio! Can you be absolutely sure its Voight doing all this?" Gabby asked, walking into her brother's hospital room.

"Yeah why? Gabs what happened?" He asked seeing the look of fear on her face.

"1, my car just got blown up and 2, they are threatning Eva and Diego. What way can we bust him?" She asked, turning to face him from the window.

"Get the note to forensics and wait." He said, sitting up.
