Hailey had just been caught hiding the fact that she knew Vanessa had been interacting with Reyes behind Voights back. He didn't know that the footage had been deleted yet just that Hailey knew some part of it and kept it a secret from him. He was pissed. A couple of days later they arrested Reyes. At first, they were going to use his wire to get him a deal but it didn't work out. Hailey planted drugs in the car to try to protect Vanessa. He got pulled over by patrol and the drug dogs found the drugs. Voight found out about it and was pissed.

"Good work everyone go home, Hailey my office," Voight said

"I'll wait for you," Jay told her

"Halstead you can wait in the car or I will have your badge," Voight told him.

Jay nervously walked out and started to walk back to his car.

"You wanted to see me?" Hailey asked.

Close the door" Voight told her.

"Sit down," Voight told her.

Hailey nervously sat down.

"I just heard from Becerra patrol found two keys of dope in the trap of Gael's car and she gonna use that wire to build that case it should be a slam dunk and Luis he's gonna get the one-year deal in exchange for corroborating evidence so," Voight told her

"That's great we finally caught a break" Hailey replied.

"Yeah" Voight responded.

"So this is something we're doing now, planting drugs, creating evidence?" Voight asked.

"If the product was found in his car, it was his own product," Hailey told him trying to deny that she had anything to do with this.

"And you think that makes it better? Voight asked

"Gael got off easy Luis deserved the deal," Hailey said admitting to it.

"Hailey I understand why you did it in nit stupid. Do you understand you crossed the line? Do you? Hailey the problem with crossing lines, is you cross enough that sometimes you forget where they are. You dont see them anymore" Voight told her.

"I see them just fine sarge" Hailey replied shakily.

"Ok well new yorks FBI task force is looking for a loan-out officer I just signed you up," Voight told her.

"What?" Hailey asked

"It's an assignment for a few weeks believe me they do things differently there," the lines are real clear Voight told her.

"I did the same thing you would've done" Hailey replied.

Voight stood up and threw everything off his desk as soon as she finished her sentence, effectively scaring the shit out of her. He got in her face and started yelling.

"I DONT WANT YOU TO BE ME THAT'S MY JOB YOUR JOB IS TO BE YOU" Voight yelled.

Hailey was holding back tears.

"Platts got the details flight leaves tomorrow.

Hailey went to get the information from Trudy but broke down as soon as she reached the desk.

"Woah Hailey cmere" Trudy said guiding her into a back room.

Hailey was starting to hyperventilate. Trudy pulled her into a hug and tried to calm her down.

"Ssh ssh your ok your safe it's okay just breathe for me, focus on your breathing" Trudy soothed while hugging her and rubbing her back.

Hailey calmed down a couple of minutes later.

"I heard what happened. Do you want me to drive you home" Trudy asked.

"No jays waiting for me," Hailey told her.

"Ok let me get your stuff and ill walk you out to him.

Trudy got her stuff and walked her out. Jay immediately ran out of his truck and out to them when he saw Trudy holding Hailey.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Jay asked panicked.

"Jay we'll explain everything in a minute. Pull into the back f the parking lot across the street ill be right behind you" Trudy told him.

Jay and Haily got in their truck and Trudy got in her car.

Jay grabbed her hand as soon as they go in the truck.

"Hailey, what happened what is it?" Jay asked

"It's bad" Hailey replied shakily

Jay pulled into the parking lot and drove to the back and Trudy was behind him. All 3 of the got out of their cars.

"What's going on?" Jay asked.

"Please dont hate me," Hailey said quietly.

"Hails I would never hate you I will never hate you," Jay told her.

"Do you want me to tell him?" Trudy asked, Hailey, nodded.

"Ok in the begging of the case Vanessa deleted a part of the wire conversation and Hailey covered for her. Then when Luis didn't get the deal she planted drugs in Geals car to protect Vanessa. Voight found out and screamed in her face and threw everything off his desk and is sending her to new york for 3 weeks" Trudy told him.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry" Hailey cried.

"Oh, Hails cmere," He said pulling her into a hug. "I get why you did that you were just trying to protect Vanessa I'm so sorry this is happening. Voight is being such a hypocrite right now".

"He says he doesn't think I'm cut out for this" Hailey cried.

"No hails that's not true you are cut out for this and you're a good cop. Just because you made one mistake doesn't make you a bad cop. He's done way worse things than all of us combined and he's a sergeant. Honestly, if anyone of us isn't cut out for it it is him. He's crossed lines more times than I can count" Jay told her.

'Get her home chuckles. Call anytime even if it's the middle of the night if you need anything." Trudy told him.

"Thanks, Sarge," Jay told her.

As soon as they got back in the truck, Hailey began to have a panic attack.

"Ssh ssh Hails you ok your safe I'm not mad it's ok everything's going to be ok I'm going to figure something out just breathe for me in 1,2,3,4 out 1,2,3,4 ssh" Jay repeatedly soothed till she calmed down.

Once she calmed down he put on some Christmas music at low volume and held her hand the whole way home.

Once they got home Hailey began to panic again.

"I can't do this I can't I hate traveling especially when I'm alone" Hailey cried.

"Ssh Hails I'm going to figure something out. Go to bed and watch tv. I'll is there in a minute I have to make a phone call real quick.

Jay looked at Hailey's plane ticket and then got his laptop. He logged onto the airline website and saw the flight was only half full. He called Trudy for help on his next step.

T Hey chuckles is Hailey ok

J no she's nervous about traveling alone. I have an idea but I need your help

T ok what is it

J I have 2 months of furlough saved up. I want to go with Hailey to new york. Her flight is only half full.

T Ok I think that's a great idea. I can get the paperwork started but voight needs to sign it.

J ok thanks sarge I already have a plan for that

T ok ill start the paperwork right now.

Jay then called Voight.

V Voight

J I need you to give me three weeks of furlough. I have 2 months saved up.

V I know what you're doing no

J If you dont do this I will tell the chief about all of the lines you've crossed.

V You wouldn't do that

J To protect Hailey yes I would, I'd do anything to protect her. She is the love of my life,

V ok fine

Voight hung up and Jay bought his plane ticket and was able to switch Hailey's plane ticket so he updated both of their tickets to first class. Just as he finished Trudy texted him that Voight signed the paperwork. he thanked her then went and told her the good news.

"Hey, Hailey I have good news I was able to get 3 weeks of furlough and get on your flight. I was also was able to upgrade our seats to first class" Jay told her.

"Oh my gosh thank you so much. I love you so much" Hailey replied pulling him into a hug.

"I love you too," Jay told her as he kissed her head.

Jay and Hailey quickly packed their bags.

"What do you want for dinner Hails?" Jay asked.

"I'm not hungry" Hailey replied.

"I know baby but you need to eat," Jay told her.

"Fine can we get mac n cheese?" Hailey asked

"Of course babe" Jay replied.

Jay ordered their mac n cheese and they cuddled until the food got there. The delivery person knocked on their door 30 minutes later causing Hailey to jump.

"Hey hey, it's ok it's just our food your ok" Jay reassured her.

He went and got their food and they ate. Jay scarfed his down but Hailey only took a couple of bites.

"Hey Hails can you try taking a few more bites for me you haven't eaten anything since this morning," Jay asked

"No my stomach hurts please dont make me," Hailey said starting to tear up.

"Ok ok ssh I won't make you, you can be done now it's ok" Jay soothed.

He stood up and threw away his container and put Haileys in the fridge. Then he grabbed ice water tums and a sprite for Hailey and some juice for himself.

"Here Hailey drink some water and sprite and take some tums to try and soothe your stomach" Jay told her.

"Thanks, babe" Hailey replied quietly.

Jay kissed her and turned on the tv. They decided to watch Judge Judy since they both needed to laugh.

Halfway through the first episode Hailey ran to the bathroom and threw up. Jay ran after her and comforted her.

"Ssh your ok it's ok just let it out your safe" Jay soothed while rubbing her back.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't mean to please dont hurt me," Hailey said panicked

"Ssh Hails I will never hurt you. No one means to throw up it happens to everyone. Your safe" Jay soothed.

"I know I'm sorry. My dad used to get mad whenever we got sick as kids. Especially when we did it right after a meal. He said we were wasting his food therefore wasting his money. He'd get really mad" Hailey told him shakily.

"Oh, babe I'm so sorry that happened to you. I will never get mad at you for being sick it's out of your control you can't help it. And what your dad said about throwing up being a waste of food and money is not true at all" Jay told her.

Jay got her cleaned up and pulled her into his lap and hugged her tight. They sat like that for a bit before Jay walked her into the room and put her on the bed. Once he made sure she was comfortable he went to the kitchen to grab supplies.

"I'll be right back I'm gonna go grab something from the kitchen," Jay told her.

He went and grabbed another iced water made some green tea and grabbed more tums. Once he got back she took the tums and sipped on her tea. She fell asleep in Jay's arms an hour later. 2 hours after falling asleep she woke up and threw up, she didn't make it to the trash can and threw up all over herself.

"You're ok it's ok I'm not mad I'm not going to hurt you just breathe for me" Jay soothed.

"I'm sorry" Hailey cried.

"Hey hey, it's ok it wasn't your fault" Jay soothed.

"I'm going to get your legs wiped off real quick then get you into the bathroom," Jay told her.

Jay grabbed the towel he had put next to their bed and wiped Hailey's legs off. She was wearing shorts and was on top of the comforter since she ran hot when her anxiety was bad so it mainly got on her legs. Once her legs were cleaned up he carried her into the bathroom and set her in the tub.

"I'm just going to clean up your legs a little more then ill start a warm bath," Jay told her, Hailey nodded in response.

He detached their shower head and cleaned Hailey's legs off. Once he was done he wrapped her in a towel and set her back on the toilet. He quickie rinsed the tub and then drew the bath.

"Are you going to be ok in here alone for a minute I need to go do something thing real quick?" Jay asked

"Yeah" Hailey replied quietly.

He got her clothes and the comforter in the wash and he also put Hailey's favorite blanket in the dryer so it would be nice and warm for her when they were done. Jay went back into the bathroom and turned off the water. He put aroma therapy stuff in the bath then got Hailey in and slipped in behind her. He began to rub her back and could feel how tense she was.

"Try and relax for me babe you're really tense," Jay told her.

Jay knew her muscles always got tight and sore when she was anxious so he increase pressure while he was rubbing her back. They sat like this for a bit before Jay helped Hailey wash her hair and body. Jay got her out and wrapped her in a towel and quickly dried himself off. He went and got the blanket from the dryer and transferred the stuff from the washer to the dryer who;e Hailey was getting dressed. Once he was done he brought it back to her.

"Here Hails I warmed up your blanket for you," Jay told her.

"Thank you I love you" Hailey replied while wrapping herself in the blanket.

"I love you too, let's go back to bed," Jay told her.

They went back to bed and turned on the tv and watched random shows for a bit.

Hailey fell asleep in Jay's lap but woke up soon after from a nightmare. Jay woke up to her thrashing sound and talking in her sleep.

"No stop I'm sorry dad I'm sorry please dont" Hailey cried out.

"Hey Hails ssh your not there it's not real wake up you're ok your safe" Jay soothed.

Hailey began to sob when she woke up and Jay comforted her.

"Ssh ssh you're ok it's ok I've got you just breathe for me" Jay soothed.

"Hailey calmed down a couple of minutes later.

"Everything that happened today reminded me of my childhood," Hailey told him.

"I'm so sorry babe," Jay said pulling her into a hug.

Hailey fell asleep soon after but had multiple nightmares throughout the night and Jay helped her through each one. By the time Hailey had her 4th nightmare, they had to be up in 30 minutes so they just got up. They got ready for the airport and Jay could tell Hailey was nervous.

"Hey, it's going to be ok. I'll be with you the whole time. Everything is going to be ok" Jay told her.

"I know I just hate traveling and airports it makes my anxiety go through the roof" Hailey replied.

They got everything ready and drove to the airport. Jay held her hand the whole time and she fell asleep in the car. Once they got there Jay woke her up and they walked in holding hands. Jay could tell she was extremely anxious so he would wrap his arm around her while they were waiting in line. Thankfully they got through security relatively quickly and went to their gate. Once at their gate they stopped by Starbucks for coffee. They went and sat at their gate and sipped on their coffee while talking and holding hands. They did this until it was 10 minutes before boarding started.

"Hey Hails let's try and go to the bathroom before we get on the plane, the airplane bathrooms are pretty tiny," Jay told her.

They each went to the bathroom and then boarded when they got back.

"Go to the window looking out the window should help with your anxiety" Jay told her.

They got seated and Jay grabbed Hailey's hand and wrapped his other arm around her. As soon as the plane started moving Hailey began to panic.

"Hey, it's ok your ok your safe I'm here I've got you squeeze my hand" Jay soothed.

Once the flight reached altitude Jay pulled out his laptop so they could watch a movie. A couple of minutes into the movie Hailey got sick. She grabbed the sick bag and threw up into it.

"Ssh your ok it's ok your safe I've got you just get it all out" Jay soothed.

Once she was done throwing up he led her to the bathroom to clean her up. He made sure he was quick since the bathroom was tiny and they were both claustrophobic. Once they got back to their seat a flight attendant came and checked on them.

"Are you guys ok?" the flight attendant asked.

"Yeah, can we get some ginger ale and water? And do you guys have water?" Jay asked

"Yes we do" the flight attendant replied handing Jay a pack of saltines. The flight attendant got the drinks and handed them to Jay.

"Thank you," Jay told the flight attendant.

"My pleasure let me know if you need anything else." the flight attendant replied.

Hailey spent the rest of the flight holding onto Jay with her eyes closed. Once the plane landed they got their bags and went straight to their hotel. Once they got to their room they changed into pajamas and fell asleep in each other's arms. They slept for 4 hours before waking up for dinner. They went to a soup restaurant for dinner and came back and cuddled and watched movies. Once they were done watching movies Jay ran her a bath since he knew it helped with the anxiety. After the bath, they went to bed holding each other again. They woke up at 10 but Hailey didn't have to go in until 1. Jay called Olvia to see if they needed another officer to help.

J Hey Olvia it's Jay Halstead, I'm from Voights intelligence unit in Chicago. My partner Hailey is here to help you with a case. I'm here also on furlough. I was just wondering if you needed an extra set of eyes or anything.

B Actually yes I would love that one of my officers just had to fly back home for a family emergency so we're down a person. Can you come in at noon with Hailey?

J yes thank you.

Jay hung up and told Hailey the news. They both ate breakfast and got ready for work. Once they got there they got introduced to everyone and started working on the case. Olvia sent everyone home a little after 6 they picked up a pizza on the way back to the hotel and ate. When they were done eating they decided to go to the hot tub. On the way to the hot tub, Jay saw a sign about the hotel spa offering massages, so he made a mental note to check it out more in the morning. They spent an hour talking in the hot tub before going back to their room and watching tv till they fell asleep. The next morning while Hailey was in the shower Jay ran down to the spa. Once he got there he saw they offered a couples massage so he scheduled an appointment for Saturday afternoon then went back up to the room and got ready. The rest of the week was normal and they had Saturday off.

"Hey Hails I scheduled us a couples massage for today at 1," Jay told her.

"Thank you I love you so much" Hailey replied.

"I love you too," Jay told her.

1 o'clock rolled around and they went and got their massage and felt great after. They spent the rest of the Saturday cuddling and watching movies.

Two and a half weeks later they closed the case just as their assignment ended and they flew home. This experience made them realize just how much they needed each other.
