Meanwhile back in the basement,
"What is your name?" The leader asked Jay.
"It's Jay." He told him, not knowing what was going to happen to him.
"Full name" He snapped back.
"Jay Halstead." He said slowly.
"Are you in the Intelligence Unit?" He asked Jay.
"Yes." jJay said, knowing he was done for.
"Remember our deal?" He asked Jay, who was looking at the door.
"Well, duh, I made it with you!" Jay laughed.
"Oh, smart guy, you're going to wish you never made that deal." He laughed at Jay.
"If you're going to kill me, just do it! Unless you're a coward!" Jay said annoyed.
"Not yet, you haven't given me what I want." He laughed back.
"You aren't getting those files!" Jay said, as he started to lunge, but was held back.
"Correction, file." He told Jay who now had his hands pinned behind his back. Jay winced, from the pain, but tried not to show his emotion.
"File?" Jay said confused.
"Yes. I told that one male detective, Dawson, I think that I wanted one of your teams known aliases and undercover operations, I will get the others later!" He told Jay.
"I'm not giving you anything!" Jay snapped back.
"Maybe I can persuade you!" He laughed as he motioned down the hall. Two of the captors took Jay to a back room, that had a steel table with thick straps. They forced Jay down onto the table and strapped down his wrists and ankles.
"Torture me, all you want, I don't expect to leave her alive!" Jay laughed at him.
"Let's test that theory." The leader snapped as he pulled out a gun and handed it to another male.
"Now talk." The male snapped at him. But Jay stayed quiet.
"Fine, we'll do this the hard way." The leader snapped as he flipped the table upright, making it harder for Jay to keep himself steady.
"Ready to talk?" He asked Jay, who shook his head, not realizing what they had planned next.
"Go to Med and bring me back Will Halstead." The leader laughed. Jay started to struggle against the straps.
"Leave him out of this! He's not a cop! He's just an ED doctor, I'm more valuable to you to get what you want than he is." Jay snapped.
"You said it yourself, torture me all you want, I won't fight back!" The leader laughed at him, as some of the captors headed out to the black Suv and sped over to Med.
"I meant hurt me, kill me if you have to, just don't bring Will into this." Jay said trying to plead to the leader.
"You got yourself into this, get yourself out!" He laughed at Jay.
"Undo these straps, and I will give you something to laugh about." Jay snapped.
"Do you think I'm stupid! I know you have a Military background, why do you think you are in restraints?" He asked Jay.
"Because you're all talk!" Jay laughed.
"Try all you wan't Jay, I'm not going to undo the restraints!" The leader laughed as he watched Jay struggle against the thick straps.
Over at Chicago Med, Kim and Hailey were being watched carefully, after realizing that both women had been drugged.
"How's Kevin?" Voight asked Will as he walked into the waiting room.
"The laceration on the back of his head isn't as bad as we originally thought, but he definitely has an concussion. We are moving them all upstairs and admitting them, at least overnight, for observation." Will told him. Voight looked at him with a worried expression.
"It's just protocol. I'll be right back down, and let you know how they are doing" Will told him with a smile. And took the elevator upstairs to check on the other detectives.
All of sudden the group that abducted the four Intelligence officers earlier, stormed into Chicago Med. They opened up fire on the ED. Maggie and the other nurses were trying to get patients out of sight. Voight pulled out his gun and started firing back, Ruzek reached for his gun, but remembered that they had taken it from him, earlier that day.
"Just give us what we came for!" One of the males snapped at Voight. Then started grabbing random patients and using them as human shields.
"Give me your gun!" One of the males snapped at Voight. He quickly handed the gun to one of the males.
"Adam, get Will out of here." Voight whispered in Ruzek's ear. He nodded and started walking towards the back of the ED, by the elevators.
"Where do you think you are going, Detective?" One of the males with a gun said to Adam.
"Detective? Why is everyone calling me that?"" Adam thought to himself.
"Come on, man, nature calls." Adam said trying to get past him.
"Get back over there!" The male snapped threatening Ruzek with his gun.
"Okay, okay, no one needs to get hurt." Ruzek said as he held his hands up in the air as a sign of surrender. He pretended to walk back over toward where Voight was, but quickly turned around and tackled the male, who kept a firm grip on his gun as he threw Ruzek to the floor.
"Dumb move." He said as he grabbed a young lady by the shoulders and held the gun up to her head. Ruzek saw Will coming out of the elevator and knew he needed to get to him.
"Will, RUN!" Adam yelled as he jumped up of the ground, disarmed the male and took the gun from him. The male started to back away from him, but wouldn't release the young woman from his grip.
"Let her go!" Adam said pointing his own gun at him.
"If you have the shot, Ruzek, just take it!" Voight snapped at him.
"He's not armed." Ruzek told him refusing to shoot the unarmed male, he did have a hostage, but no weapon. Will had just come out of the elevator and walked into the ED and towards the nurse's station, to figure out what was going on.
"Will! RUN! You're the target! I'll cover you!" Ruzek yelled as he shot at the other males that were returning fire from the waiting room. Will could hear screams and see glass shattering, but did as he was instructed. Will went running towards an emergency exit, with Ruzek right behind him, trying not to take fire as he and Will ducked behind desks and assorted objects, unfortunately the captors split up. Half kept the ED at gunpoint, while the other half were firing their guns at Ruzek and Will as they ran after them. Ruzek stopped feet from the exit.
"I'm out of bullets! Just get out of here!" Ruzek told him.
"What about you?" Will asked as he turned back towards Ruzek.
"Don't worry about me, I'm going to try to hold them off." Ruzek told him.
"No. I'm not letting you get shot because of me, If they want to take me, just let them." Will said as he pushed past Ruzek.
"He's definitely a "Halstead." Ruzek said as he caught up to Will and grabbed his arm.
"You don't get it, they have Jay, you need to leave, so we know you are safe and we can find Jay." Ruzek told him.
"If they have Jay, I have to go, if I don't they'll kill him." Will snapped.
"And if you go, you'll both be killed." Ruzek told him.
"That's a chance I'm willing to take." Will said as he pulled his arm free, and walked out into the waiting room.
"I know that you came here for me. So, I'll make you a deal…" Will started to say but was cut off.
"What is with the "Halstead brothers" trying to make deals?" one of them laughed at Will.
"Let everyone else go, and I will come with you. Do we have a deal?" Will asked them.
"Walk, Halstead." one of the males with a gun snapped at him.
"Let them go, first." Will protested.
"You hold up your end, we will do the same." The male closest to him snapped as Will's hands were pinned behind his back, and he was forced to walk out of the ED.
"Will! What is going on?" Dr. Manning asked as she entered the ED.
"It's fine, Nat," Will said as they forced him out the door. Once they were outside they secured Will's wrists with a zip tie and forced him into the back seat of the black SUV. The rest of the males came running out of the ED and jumped into the vehicle, and sped off. Will was watching Chicago Med disappear from his view out one of the windows, until he was blindfolded.
Minutes later, Jay heard a vehicle pull up outside. A group of males yanked Will out of the vehicle, by his wrist. He could feel a surge of pain, and hear a "crack."
"Great. They broke my wrist." Is all Will could think about, he was forced inside, and heard a heavy metal door, bolt behind him.
"Jay!" Will yelled at his brother, after they yanked his blindfold off.
"Chain him up against the wall!" The leader laughed as he watched Jay struggle against his restraints, starting to form red marks from all the rubbing as he would try to get loose. Before Jay or Will could say anything, they had spread Will's arms out wide chained to the wall by his wrists. His feet were still firmly planted on the ground.
"Hand me your pocket knife." He told his second in command as he cut Will scrub top open exposing his bare chest.
"Please don't!" Jay yelled at him.
"Why? Because the Calvary is coming?" The leader jokes, as he slashed Will's bare chest.
Jay and Will heard several vehicles pull up outside and heard familiar voices coming closer.
"Breach now!" Antonio snapped, trying to donkey kick the door in, but it was no use.
"The police are outside, right now." One of the males told the leader.
"You must have forgotten to dump the sim card!" He said angrily and took a gun from another male and shot him three times in the chest.
"5021 Frank Shots fired! At 157 North Elm, requesting S.W.A.T" Antonio said into his radio.
"Copy 5021 Frank S.W.A.T" is three minutes out." the dispatcher said back.
"We don't have three minutes," Antonio told the other officers. Voight and Ruzek pulled up behind the Black SUV's. Antonio had his vest on and popped his trunk and handed Ruzek and Voight's theirs, as all three of them tried to break down the door, but it was useless.
"Wait a sec." Antonio said as he ran back out to his car and grabbed a tire iron and pried of the doors hinges, with help from several others.
"Tell me all of one of your team's aliases!" The leader snapped at him.
"I can't...Okay...Okay, I'll tell you mine." Jay said to the leader.
"I don't want yours!" He laughed as he slashed Will's torso with the pocket knife. Will tried to hold back the screams, but the pain was becoming unbearable.
"Try again." He snapped at Jay.
"I don't know all of them, when we are undercover we are supposed to stay hidden from the Intelligence Unit." Jay told him.
"For God's sake, Jay, just give them what they want!" Will said as they wouldn't stop making shallow cuts and gashes in Will's skin.
"Wrong answer!" He snapped as he used a clamp like grip, digging his fingernails into Will's bare shoulder, causing him to shake from the big bursts of pain, surging through his body.
"You know what? Stop hurting my brother! And come hurt me. Better yet, release me from these restraints and fight like a man!" Jay snapped at him.
"I've had enough of this! Kill them." The leader snapped.
"Remember the redhead dies first, then the other one!" The leader laughed.
"Got it." His second in demand said as he pulled out his own pocket knife and raised it above Will's chest, and was about to bring it down, when he heard the first bolted door hit the concrete floor.
"Hurry!" The leader snapped at his second in command.
"They're already here, you aren't going to get away with this!" Jay snapped. The leader whipped around and slashed open Jay's shirt.
"Do it!" The leader snapped. His second in command brought the knife down just as the metal door hit the concrete. The knife slashed him down the side and hit the floor. Antonio, Voight, and Ruzek, were right there with their bullet proof vests on, and guns loaded. The leader moved the knife up to jay's neck.
"I'm so glad you are here to see one of your detectives die!" The leader said as he slashed Jay across the chest.
"Coward!" Jay yelled at him and he put a shallow slice in Jay's neck but kept putting more pressure on the blade, until Ruzek had enough and had a clear shot, and this time he took it. The second in command decided he wanted to die and grabbed his gun and pointed it at Will! Voight took the shot, and he fell to the concrete floor, dead, next to his leader. The rest of the males got away, but patrol was sent after them. Voight and Ruzek unchained Will's wrists, while Antonio freed Jay from the straps. Jay fell forward, but Antonio was able to catch him, and bring him down carefully to the floor.
"Call a bus!" Voight ordered Antonio.
"5021 Frank roll a two ambulances to my location!." Antonio said into his radio.
"Copy 5021 Frank your ambulance is 30 seconds out and I just dispatched another." came back over the radio. Jay and Will could hear the sirens as one the ambulances pulled up outside of the house. Less than a minute later the other one pulled up. Jay and Will were put on stretchers, loaded into separate ambulances and rushed to Chicago Med.
