Part 1:
"Burgess, get into plain clothes. Atwater is on furlough and Voight needs an extra hand upstairs." Platt yelled at Kim as she walked into the district.
Before, Kim was always excited when she got asked to work with intelligence. But now, after her break up with Adam, she felt torn over the assignments. However, work was work, so after giving Platt a little salute she headed to the locker room to change and then head up to the bullpen.
Once Kim got upstairs Erin made her way over to her and said, "Don't worry, Voight has you partnered with Antonio today."
"Thanks." Kim said as Voight made his way out of the office to address the team.
"Alright we are picking up a case of home invasions from robbery." Voight said.
"Why?" Ruzek asked.
"Two of the victims have worked for the mayor. So the mayor put in a word to get better people on the job, hence here we are." Voight said.
Antonio walked over the board and pointed to a map. "The robberies have happened in these to major areas. And the families were not home when they happened." Antonio explained.
"So you all are going to talk to CIs in the areas during the day and then wait tonight in the areas undercover to see if there is any suspicious activity." Voight instructed.
"It also may be helpful as you are going around to see what houses look like the families are out of town. It's the summer so there will be a few. Those might be the house they hit." Antonio added.
"Right. Now get to work." Voight said as he headed back into his office.
Kim walked over to talk to Antonio she tried not to look at Adam but she had to. They made eye contact and Kim just relived that day in court when she caught his eye when she told the whole room she was involved with Roman. It killed her. She could still see that pain in his eyes. She turned her head back towards Antonio she couldn't deal with those emotions right now she had to get to work.
Kim and Antonio spent the day tracking down different CIs but no one knew anything about who was pulling off the home invasions. They did however identify a very expensive looking house, which obviously had the family on vacation with how many new papers were piled up on their front steps. They decided that was the house they were going to watch for the night. The rest of the team each had their own streets to watch for the night.
"I mean why didn't she say anything about it to me? Well probably because I told him he could have her. Why did I do that, Al? I know I was angry but I shouldn't have said that. I caused this." Adam rambled to Al.
Al was starting to bang his head against the headrest. He was going crazy after listen to Adam talk about Kim and their drama for the last two hours. Finally he turned and said, " Do you remember when I was having issues with Merideth? You told me if I love her fight for her. I should have given you the same advice a few months ago. But I'll give it to you know. If you love her fight for her."
"But is it too late now?" Adam asked.
Before Al could respond Antonio's voice came over the radio. "We got them going into 123 Maple Street. There are two of them. Burgess and I are headed in. All teams report."
"That's only three blocks over. Lets go." Adam said and pulled the car into drive.
Adam and Al pulled up and drew there guns as they got out of the car. They made their way up the path when they heard some loud commotion. Adam made is way through the door and saw the perp with his gun out slowly moving towards a body laying at the bottom of the stairs. It was Kim. Adam didn't think and just fired his weapon right at the guys head. The perp dropped to the floor before getting a shot out. Adam just stood there. Al made his way through the door and ran to Kim on the floor. He checked the pulse and then pulled on his radio. "We have an officer down at 123 Maple Street. We need medics now!" Al said into his radio. Adam still just stood there looking at her until Al finally said to him. "Ruzek get something I can use to try to stop this bleeding on her head with."
Adam just nodding and looked through the house. He made his way to the kitchen where Antonio had the other perp in cuffs.
"What happened?" Antonio asked Adam.
"It looks like the other one knocked Kim down the stairs. She is unconscious and bleeding. I shot and killed the other one." Adam said grabbing a kitchen towel.
"You killed my brother?!" The perp yelled.
"You bet I did." Was all Adam said and he walked back to where Al and Kim were.
Jay, Erin, and Voight made it to the scene at the same time as ambulance 61.
Slyvie and Jimmy got started working on getting Kim onto a stretcher with help from Al as Jay asked Adam, "What happened, man?"
"I don't know. I walked in the door and she was at the bottom of the stairs unconscious and the guy had his gun pointed at her. I took the shot and got him."
"You saved her life." Voight said.
"If there is a life to save." He said as his eyes teared up as Slyvie and Jimmy rolled Kim to the ambulance.
"I'll go with her." Erin announced. "I'll call with any updates." She added and she patted Ruzek on the back.
A few hours later Erin was sitting by Kim's bedside waiting for her to wake up. Thankful she was just mostly one giant bruise with no broken bones. What the doctors were really worried about what her head. But they wouldn't know anything until Kim woke up they said.
Kim started to move and Erin grabbed her hand.
"Hey Kim its okay I'm here." Erin said softly.
"Erin?" Kim asked. "Why are you here? What happened? Where is Adam? Did we get the guy?"
"You're in the hospital. You took a bad fall. And we got both of them." Erin said.
"Both of them?" Kim asked still groggy. " I thought it was only one guy setting the fires."
Now Erin was confused and worried. "Kim what is the last thing you remember?" Erin finally got the nerve to ask.
"We were working the arson case for House 51. The guy had just blown up our patrol car and Platt reamed me and Roman out. Did I fall at the district after that?" Kim said.
"Sweetie, just stay put, I'm going to get the doctors." Erin said.
Erin made her way out of the room and found Dr. Choi who was the ED doctor who was taking care of Kim.
"Ethan we have a problem." Erin said.
"Is she up?" Dr. Choi asked.
"Yeah. And the last thing she remembers is from a year and a half ago." Erin said.
"Okay. We will go run some tests." Dr. Choi said without trying to sound too concerned so Erin wouldn't worry.
Adam was still at the district filling out his paper work for firing his weapon when his phone rang.
"Hey Erin. How is she is she up yet?" Adam asked.
"She is awake. There is just a small problem." Erin choked out. She had no idea how to tell him this.
"What's wrong?" Adam asked his voice full of concern.
"Well it seems she doesn't remember much." Erin said.
"About tonight? That should be normal right?" Adam asked.
"About the last year and a half." Erin said. "The last thing she remembers was the arson case we worked for House 51."
"What?" was all Adam could get out.
"The doctors are running tests now." Erin told him.
"So she doesn't remember the break up. Or everything with Roman. Or even our engagement?" Adam asked.
"None of it." Erin confirmed. "And she keeps asking about you and where you are."
"Tell her I will be right there." Adam said without hesitation before hanging up the phone.
Before leaving the district Adam found Al. He explained what was going on and then asked, "What do I do? Do I tell her what actually happened or do I use this as a chance to get back together and not tell her we broke up?"
"Adam you got to tell her the truth. Do you really want her to be with you because you tricked her or because she wants to?" Al asked in reply.
"But she is asking for me. She wants me." Adam said pleading for Al to agree with him.
"Go and talk to her. Explain everything and I'm sure she will be confused but maybe you two can work it out. She is really going to need someone." Al told him as he patted him on the back.
Adam got to the hospital and found Erin sitting in a chair in the hallway.
"Where is she? More tests?" Adam asked her giving Erin a hug.
"No she is in her room right there." Erin said pointing at the room next to them.
"Why are you in there then?" Adam asked confused.
"Because she doesn't remember we were friends. She keeps giving me this strange look when I try to go in or talk to her." Erin said trying to hide how upset she was.
"It will be okay. I will go talk to her. Thank you for being here for her." Adam said.
"No problem. I think I will head home for a bit and shower. Call me if you need me to come back." Erin said leaving.
Adam made his way into Kim's room. It's now or never he thought.
"Hey Darlin'." He said. He wasn't sure he should but it felt so natural.
"Adam. Thank god you are here. No one is telling me what is going on." Kim said.
"I mean they said I fell down some stairs when dealing with an home invasion with Antonio. But the last thing I remember was Platt yelling at me and Roman for getting our patrol car blown up. Why was I with Antonio and not Roman? And why was Erin here and not you?" Kim asked starting to get upset.
Adam could sense the fear of not understanding in her voice and he went to sit next to her. "Hey. Its okay." He said stroking her arm. "I guess I was elected to tell you, what you remember of your patrol car being blown up, happened over a year ago."
"What?" Kim asked.
"Yeah. And since then a lot of things have changed. You and Erin are actually very good friends now and Roman is no longer with Chicago PD, that ones is a long story." Adam said.
Kim started really crying. "I don't remember any of this." Adam couldn't resist, he moved onto her bed more fully and held her in his arms as she cried.
"What else don't I remember? Did something happen with us? Was that why you weren't here?" Kim asked.
"Something happened but it doesn't matter right now. I am here for you. I will help you get through all of this and we will figure it out together." Adam said and then gave her a kiss on the top of her head.
A/N: There will be a part two. I just have to figure out what I want to do with it. Any ideas let me know! Please review.
