A/N: Sorry for that cliffhanger at the end and for that long delay. But school is almost over and I don´t have to learn for class tests anymore so I should be able to have more time for writing. I also want to thank you guys for these amazing reviews and for the increasing number of followers. You are amazing

As if on cue Dawson busted through the door looking furious and worried at the same time. "We need to go Alvin. Halstead has been shot during his CI meeting. They are taking him to Chicago Med." Alvin did nothing than stare at his colleague.

Halstead. Has. Been. Shot.

He played these five words over and over in his head. He was just talking about Jay in danger. `That has to be Karma` he thought to himself. Why was this kid always in danger? You can´t just leave him alone for more than 10 seconds. Alvin sighed deeply and stood up very slowly. Facing Sargent Platt, he communicated with his eyes, trying to apologize for Antonio´s interruption, although he knows that it was not his fault.

"We´re talking later" she said, knowing how sorry Alvin was that they had been interrupted. She also knew that she was very worried at the moment. "I hope he is okay. Call me when you know something, will you?" Alvin nodded and headed to Antonio´s car.

"Do you think what I think?" Antonio asked after a few silent moments in his car. As Alvin didn't respond he looked over to the older man. He looked lost in his thoughts and was clearly not in the mood to talk about anything. His face did not show any sight of emotions but Antonio know that Alvin was worried deeply about Jay and probably angry like himself.

This kid had already gone through so much. First the war, then the thing with Ben Corson and the accusation of murdering Lonnie Roddiger. After that he had struggled very hard with Nadia´s death and had been kidnapped by Keyes. And now he has been shot. How much was Jay supposed to carry on his shoulder before he would break down.

Antonio remembered Jay´s first day at Intelligence like it had been yesterday. Jay had been so shy and was wearing his typical black Hoodie and the black leather jacket. He had kept his hands in his pocket and had looked very shy and a bit scared. But after walking up the stairs he had just smiled at everybody and said hello before he had gone into Voight´s office. Nobody had thought that Jay would become one of their closest friends that day.

But here they are now, worried and scared about their best friend, breaking as many traffic laws as possible to get to Jay. "I think you know exactly what I think" Alvin replied after an eternity. At least that´s what it felt like for Antonio. As he looked at his watch he realized that it was only a few minutes later. He had been that lost in his thoughts too.

"I think I am going to ask Platt to do some research on Jay´s father." Antonio said more to himself than to Alvin. "Not necessary anymore" Alvin replayed more calmly as he felt. Antonio looked up. "I didn't say that out loud did I?" Alvin couldn't help but chuckle because of the terrifying look on Tony´s face. "You did." He said with a smile "And as I said I already did that." Antonio blushed and glued his eyes on the road ahead of him. "What did she say?" he asked after a few moments. "Nothing. Your dear friend was so kind to get himself shot and your announcement interrupted us." Despite that horrible situation both detectives couldn't help but smile due to Alvin´s choice of words. "You make it look like it is Jay´s fault." Antonio said, the smile still evident on his face. Alvin chuckled. "It is. The kid can't do anything halfway can he? You can't leave him alone for 10 seconds." With these words they arrived in front of the hospital and their minds returned to the thoughts of an unconscious Jay Halstead. Antonio pulled his car in one of the parking lots and went to the front entry, Alvin hot on his heels.

They reached the front desk and looked for a familiar face. Fortunately finding one I nurse April. "You guys are looking for Detective Jay Halstead I suppose" she said with a tiny smile on her face. Antonio nodded and searched for any sign of worry in her face. After finding none he released a breath he didn't realise he was holding. "I´m sorry but he is still in surgery. If you want me to ask for further information I could try what I am able to do." "That would be very nice." Alvin answered with a thankfully glance. "Is there a chance where we could wait for him?" April nodded and lead them into a small waiting room. "I´ll come and tell you if I´ll know anything new." She promised and disappeared.

Both of the detectives sat down and buried their head in their hands. "Who else knows that Jay is in the hospital?" Alvin asked after a few silent moments. Antonio looked up: "I told Voight as soon as Will has called me but I think there was nobody else there. But I guess he told everyone. I mean he should do that shouldn´t he?" Alvin nodded calmly, seeing that Antonio tries to cover up his fear by talking very fast. It was something very typical for him and Alvin knows that everybody in this unit has a very special way of coping with his fears.

As he noticed Antonio talks very fast.

Voight paces a lot when he fears something.

Erin is very similar to her father figure and paces a lot too.

Ruzek just sits there and stares at blank walls, often joined by Atwater and Burgess.

And Jay, well Jay was very different and his reactions weren´t always the same ones. But Alvin realized a few things like Jay would either punch a wall or something or he would go to some quiet places like a rooftop. But there were a few situations when jay paced a lot too or just sat there staring at walls like Ruzek and Atwater. And to complete the whole unit he sometimes talks very fast too.

Alvin realized that Jay united the reactions of all of them and that was the reason why he was so unpredictable. The older detective put a hand on Antonio's shoulder and squeezed it slightly. "He will be okay. You know Jay longer than me and I know that he´s a fighter. You have to keep that in mind will you?" Antonio nodded thankfully and buried his head once more I his hands
