Slowly opening your eyes, the bright light coming from the light hanging over you, caused you to squint your eyes. As you tried to move, your hands were tied to a rusty old radiator along with your ankles tied together which lead you to be immobile. A sharp pain cut through your head and it felt like your whole body was in pain. Every movement you made causes some bone or muscle to ache. You started to feel something trickling down your face and once it reached your mouth, you tasted blood. The kidnappers must have busted your head open when they hit you over the head and knocked you unconscious.
You heard the kidnappers talking in the hallway, “why the hell would you kidnap a cop?”
“She’s been threatening to file my arrest. I had to do something.” It was all coming back to you now. You were meeting up with your CI and when he didn’t want to do what you asked, you threaten to file his arrest, and he decided to knock you over the head. But who was the other guy he was talking to? “Look this can work in our favor. We can make demands. Get what we want.”
“I should have arrested you the moment I picked up at that drug bust.” You finally manage to find your voice which was hoarseness from the lack of water and dehydration. “It will never work. Making demands in hopes they will give you something. They won’t give you anything.”
“Well it’s worth a try and if they don’t give us what they want we can just kill you.” Sam, who was your CI, pulled out a phone from his back pocket
“Hey, have you heard from Y/N this morning? I tried calling her on my way, but she didn’t answer.” Jay walked up to the crime scene with coffee in hand and concern in his voice.
“She called me letting me know she was meeting up with a CI about something.” Antonio turned around to see Jay walking toward him. “She said she would meet us back in the district.”
Just as Jay was about to say, his phone went off and to his surprise, your name popped up on the screen. “Y/N? Where are you?”
“Y/N is a little busy right now.”
“Who is this? Where’s Y/N?” Jay stopped dead in his tracks which caused Antonio to stop also. Jay put the phone on the speaker so that Antonio could hear the other person.
“You don’t get to ask questions.” You wanted to call out to Jay, but Sam had tied a handkerchief around your mouth. “The only way your going to see Y/N again is if you give me what I want.”
“Yeah, that’s not going to happen.” Antonio ran off to go find Voight.
“Well, then I guess we have no business left to discuss.”
Sam was about to hang up, “okay, wait. First off, I need proof that Y/N is okay, then we can make a deal.” With that said both Hank and Antonio approached Jay.
“Fine.” Sam removed the handkerchief from your mouth. “Talk.”
“Jay! Whatever you don’t listen to him he’s a drug addict!” You screamed out which caused a slap to the face and a whimper to escape your lips. Sam replaced the handkerchief and took a few steps back.
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you want. Just don’t hurt her.” Hearing you cry out anger flooded through his body. Jay glanced up at the Voight who was, of course, worried for his daughter. “Tell me what you want, and I will see what I can do.”
“I want my drugs back. The ones that were taken from me that night of the drug bust. Y/N took them away from me and now I want them back. I’ll call back in 1 hour with a location and you better have my drugs and if you don’t Y/N is dead.” With that said the line went dead.
Jay felt sick to his stomach when he heard you cry out and Jay will do whatever he has to get you back. “He was using her phone we can ping it. He wasn’t too smart on that part.”
“Jay’s right. You two go back to the district ping her phone and get a location. Keep this between the three of us and we will bring the rest of the team if we need to.” Voight was, of course, worried that his daughter was taken but he knew that Jay and Antonio the situation could handle the situation. Hank didn’t want to worry the team considering that this lowlife drug-addicted was stupid enough to use your phone to make his demands.
Sam had thrown you into a trunk of a car and drove for about a half-hour until you reached your destination. Sam’s partner in crime disappeared when he realized that Sam was insane for kidnapping a cop and making demands. Once Sam pulled you out of the trunk, you notice that you were at a much nicer house than the last one. Sam carried you through the house and into the backyard considering that both your ankles and wrist were bonded by zip ties. Once outside, you saw that there was an inground pool and you had a bad feeling that if Jay didn’t show up something very bad could happen. Even though you told Jay not to do anything, you knew that he would do anything to save you.
“Well looks like your boyfriend isn’t going to make it.” Sam looked down at his watch realizing that the hour was almost up, and Jay was nowhere in sight. Sam removed the handkerchief from your mouth as he set you down on one of the patio chairs.
“Why are you doing this?” The zip ties dug into your wrist and they started to bleed from your struggling to get out.
“Because I’m taking back what’s mine. I never wanted to be your CI, but I didn’t have a choice. I couldn’t go back to Jail not again.” Sam waved a gun around as he paced the patio you could see that he was clearly high on something.
“If you kill me then that will definitely put you back in prison.” Sam looked down at his watch again before pulling you up from the chair and standing you at the edge of the pull. “Times up.”
“Sam listen don’t do this.” You struggled against Sam’s hold, but he had the upper hand.
“Let her go.” The two of you snapped your heads to the right to see Jay standing there with a duffle bag. “Look I brought you your drugs. That was the deal.”
“Your late.” Sam decided to make another stupid move by putting the barrel of the gun to your head.
“Well, you’re the one who changed locations last minute. I was on my way to the other location when you decided to call and change locations.” Jay dropped the bag to the floor as he took a cautious step toward the two of you.
“We had a deal. I bring you your drugs and you let Y/N go.” Sam gripped his hand around your arm which you knew would leave a bruise. You tried to get out of his grip, but it was no use, so you stopped trying.
“Like I said it’s too late.” The next thing you knew, Sam threw you into the pool and the moment your body hit the water, you tried to move, but you couldn’t because of being bonded. The water whirls around you, trapping you from the oxygen you needed. Your entire body started to throb as your lungs start to feel like they are on fire. Slowly, blackness begins to surround your visions and you knew you couldn’t hold on much longer. As you lost consciousness, you still felt someone, or something grab you and pull you out of the water.
Jay had jumped in the water shortly after attacking Sam and putting him in handcuffs. The moment Antonio stepped into the backyard to see Jay giving you chest compressions, he called into his radio for an ambulance and backup. “Come on Y/N.” After a few more compressions, you started to spit up water and you slowly opened your eyes.
“Jay.” Jay sighed in relief when you spoke up. Once Jay sat you up, he cut the zip-ties with his pocketknife and instantly pulled you into his chest.
“What’s the verdict doc?” Will stood in front of you finishing up with stitches on your forehead as your father walked into the exam room.
“She’ll live.” Will chuckled as he removed his gloves. “She’s got a couple of stitches, a few cuts and bruises, and a concussion.” Will grabbed the tablet from the tablet and started punching in things. “You’re lucky you didn’t suffer any permanent damage.”
“Thanks, Will.” Will gave you a soft smile as he patted your dad on the shoulder while leaving the room. “Where’s Jay?” Even though you almost just died all you cared about was Jay and how he came to save you.
“He’s in the waiting room.” Your father stood in front of you with a soft smile on his face. Even though your father didn’t like in-house relationships he would make an exception for the two of you if it ever came to that. All he ever wants is for you to be happy again and if that means bending the rules a little, he would do it. “You know it’s okay.”
“What are you talking about?” You slowly got off the examining table and started to change into the pair of dry clothes that your father had brought you.
“You and Halstead.” You turned around as you pulled on your jeans followed by your sweatshirt. You looked up at your dad shocked considering that he wasn’t a fan of in-house relationships.
“There’s nothing going on between us.” That wasn’t a complete lie. You had no idea what you and Jay were. Since telling him about Ryan and then kissing him and him not kissing you back, the two of you haven’t talked about it. To be honest, you have been avoiding him because you weren’t ready to talk to him about it.
“All I’m saying is that it’s okay to be happy again.” Your father had a small smile on his face, as he walked out of the room with you.
“Okay, here’s a prescription for some anti-nausea medication” Will handed the bottle with the prescription. “And here are your discharge papers.” Will handed to you the rest of the paperwork. “Now go home and get some rest and take a few days off.”
“Oh, trust me, she’s taking a week off,” Hank spoke up from behind you which earned him an eye roll from you.
After thanking Will again, the two of you walked into the waiting room to see Jay slightly pacing. Once Jay saw you, he practically ran over to you and pulled you into a hug. “I’m so glad you’re okay,” Jay whispered against your hair before pulling away just enough to see your face.
“According to Will, I’ll live.” You chuckled as you still hand your arms slightly wrapped around his waist.
“Jay take her home and take the rest of the day off.” As Voight appeared behind the two of you, you both took a step back. “And make sure she takes it easy. Will said she needs her rest.” Jay nodded his head as your dad hugged you. “Alright, I got to get back to the district. Take care of her.”
“Thank you.” You sat on the couch with an icepack pressed against your head as your headache started to rise again.
“I’m just following orders.” Jay around the couch and sat down next to you.
“That’s not what I meant.” You removed the ice pack and tossed it into the coffee table. “I meant for saving me.”
“I wouldn’t think twice about saving you.” Jay reached over and squeezed your hand.
“I’m sorry.” You whispered.
“For what? Getting kidnapped and almost drowning?” Jay looked at you with a questionable expression.
“For kissing you the other night. I was just caught up in the moment.” You pulled away from his touch as you started to feel uncomfortable about bringing it up, but it had to be done. The room got quiet making things more awkward and uncomfortable. “You don’t have to stay. I’ll be fine.”
“I didn’t kiss you back because you caught me off guard.” Jay completely skipped over the fact that you basically told him that he could leave. “Believe me when I saw that I regret not kissing you back, but I don’t want you to think that I did it out of pity because it wouldn’t have been.” Jay reached over to cup the side of your face and lightly stroked your cheek with the pad of his thumb.
You laid your hand over his hand as you leaned into his touch. “You are the first guy I’ve kissed since Ryan died.”
“Really?” Jay removed his hand from your cheek along with yours and rested them in your lap.
“I’ve been struggling the last two you to regain my life back and then I realized that the only way I was going to move on with my life is by letting go of Ryan.” Without thinking you turned his hand over and begin to run your finger over the lines of his palm. “I will always love him, but I need to move on and be happy again.” You looked down at your conjoined hands and whispered, “you make me happy.” You looked up only to get caught by Jay’s lips. After a moment, you pulled away to catch your breath. “What was that for?” You whispered against his lips.
“I regret not kissing you back the other night.” Jay moved a piece of hair behind your ear and smiled.
“So, what now?” Without realizing it, you leaned forwarded and rested your hand on his chest which took Jay by surprise but didn’t show it.
“I don’t know. But I do know that you should get some rest. That concussion won’t heal itself.” Jay rested his hand on the back of your head before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on the top of your head.
You smiled even though you knew he couldn’t see it. “Will told me that shouldn’t be alone for the night.”
“If you wanted me to spend the night again all you had to do is ask.” Jay chuckled as you pull away from him and playfully slapped his chest. “Well, I guess if it’s doctor’s orders then I’ll stay.”
You woke up the next morning to the soft sunlight hitting your face through the curtains. Last night, was tougher than you thought it would be. You woke up twice last night feeling nauseous along with a piercing headache. The first time you got up you sprinted to the bathroom and threw up all the contents from the pizza you and Jay had ordered for dinner. After the second time you woke up, you asked Jay to lay in bed with you until you fall back asleep. As you rolled over in bed you came face to face with a sleeping Jay and you couldn’t help but smile. At this moment you realized that this was the first time in two years that you shared a bed with a man and there wasn’t a single ounce of regret or guilt.
“Your staring,” Jay mumbled as he slowly opened his eyes.
“Well, when a good-looking guy is lying next to me, I can’t help but stare.” You scooted closer to Jay only to be a few inches away from him.
“How are you feeling?” Jay rolled so that he was now on his side fully facing you.
“My head still hurts, but the nauseousness has subsided for now.” You reached over and lightly stroked his cheek with your thumb. “Thank you.”
“For what?” Jay reached up and covered his hand with yours.
“For being you.” You whispered as you leaned forward and landed a soft kiss on his lips. When you kissed him, your brain lit on fire, and warmth spread throughout the rest of your body. Your whole body craved more, and for the first time in a long time, you were happy. Since kissing him the other night all you could think about was kissing him again and now that you have it was intoxication and you never wanted to stop.
“As soon as you’re feeling better, I am taking you out to dinner.” Jay breathed out as he pulled away.
“Is Jay Halstead asking me out on a date?” You smirked at him as you popped yourself up on your elbow resting your head in your hand.
“Yes, I am.” Jay smiled at you as he sat up in bed going for his phone that was going off. Grabbing his phone off the nightstand, the smile on his face disappeared which meant one thing. “We caught a case.”
You sighed as you gently fell back on the bed. “Go save the city. At least one of gets to go to so that.” Jay chuckled as he stood up from the bed.
“Well, I manage not to get myself kidnapped and then thrown into a pool.” Jay leaned down slightly hovering over you. “I’ll call you later.” Jay was inches away from your lips as if he were about to kiss you but ended up kissing your forehead instead.
“Such a tease.” Jay chuckled as you tossed a pillow hitting him in the back as he left the room. As you lay on the bed staring at the ceiling you let the happiness soak into your bones. This was the moment you have been waiting for. Happiness. It’s been a long time since you felt this happy and you weren’t letting it go. As you heard the front door close, you slowly got up from the bed and headed into the bathroom.
