There’s A Bomb | Jay Halstead
Request: Jay falls in love with Voight’s daughter.
Pairing: Jay Halstead x Voight!Reader
Author’s note: Requests are open. (The moment with a bomb was inspired by an episode from “The Flash” when Joe saved Cecile.)
Your dad was always worried about you, especially when you told him that you want to be a cop like him. First, he didn’t approve of your decision, but when he saw you graduating from the police academy, he knew that it was your right path. He wanted to keep you safe and close, at least he could do that, so he brought you to Intelligence. You were happy there since day one, it was your dream to watch him catching bad guys.
He partnered you with Erin, because he trusted her the most, like you. She wasn’t from Voight’s family, but she was like a sister to you, she knew everything about you.
But after a few years, it was her time to go and she moved. You took it hard, just like Jay, who wanted to propose to her. You weren’t close with him, but the pain he had was very similar to yours. After she left, Voight partnered you with him and Hailey, the new girl, was now a partner to Kim.
Cases that involved drugs were your favorite. Going undercover, to make a deal was your favorite part of the job. You were the best in this and you were happy to do it every time. But when kids are involved… This hits just different. You usually took it very personally, it was just too hard to see them working for those bastards.
“Okay guys, we’ve got a case involving drugs and the murder of a mob boss. I think we all know who that is, Alejandro Cortez. 32 years old, he’s chasing by police and the FBI for 2 years. He killed his own wife, then his mob boss, and two murders with a bomb. One pinned to the car, the second one in the club. He’s hiding since then, we can’t reach him.” Kevin pinned his photo to the board and gave you files about the case.“But, we know that his niece was taken from her family and we all think that he took her because he wants to take an act of revenge on his brother for turning him to the police.”
“All of this because he’s angry? And why the kid?” you asked.
“We don’t know yet. She’s missing for 4 days and the people who saw the kidnapper described him. The description matches Alejandro. They’re living in Chicago, that means he’s here and this might be our last chance to get him.” you sat on your desk and started to look into the files.
“Hey, you okay?” Jay asked you. Before nodding to him, you brushed his hand with your fingers and smiled at him. He was always caring about you in cases like this, you were so thankful for him. “Let me know if you need anything.”
“Y/N? Can we talk?” your dad asked.
“Sure.” you walked into his office and closed the doors.
“I’m worried about you. If you want I can take you off the case!” he said.
“I’m fine, really. It’s just… I don’t understand some things, I need to figure them out. Don’t worry.” you hugged him and went back to your desk.
The tension was thick, everyone was working on the case, while Jay was trying to figure out his feelings. He couldn’t talk to anyone about this, because they knew that person, especially he couldn’t talk about it with you.
God, he wished that you noticed how much he adored you. He stood up and walked to your desk.
“Y/N? Y/N?” he tapped your shoulder.
“Hmm?” you muttered.
“You kinda zoned out, I brought you some coffee.”
“Thanks. Do you want to go with me and check on this woman who saw Alejandro? I don’t want to go there alone.” you asked.
“Of course, partner.”
You drove in silence, Jay was watching you the whole ride. He loved to look at your smile, and your beautiful eyes when you tried to be serious, but he always made you smile and laugh. He trusted you like no one, he could put his life in your hands, because he knew that you’ll help him no matter what.
“Chicago PD!” you said and knocked on the doors.
“What do you want?” a woman appeared and looked so scared.
“Sophia? We’re from Chicago Police Department, I’m detective Halstead and this is detective Voight. We wanted to ask you a few questions.”
“There’s no need to, I already spoke with the police!” she answered.
“We know, but we wanted to ask about the description you gave us. Are you sure that this was the guy?” you showed her a picture.
“Yes, definitely. Now leave me alone!” she said and walked away, then closed the doors.
“I think she won’t say us more.” you laughed and made your way to the truck.
“Yeah Adam, what’s up?” Jay said, answering his phone.
“We’ve got a possible location where Alejandro can be, go and check this place.”
“Alright, let’s go!” Jay said.
“5021 Frank, detective Y/N Voight, we’re heading to a possible location where our suspect can be. Plain attire officers on the scene, roll a backup, and ambo.”
“Copied 5021 Frank, sending a backup and ambo.”
“Do you think he’s gonna be there?” Jay asked you.
“I don’t know, I just hope to find his niece sooner than him so I could kick his ass after. I mean, she’s a kid… How can he do that?” you answered. Jay looked at you worried. After a few minutes, you were on the scene.
“You take the back, we’re going from the front!” you said to officers who were there already.
“I’m coming in.” Jay went first, you right after him.
“I’m covering you.” you pulled your gun low until you noticed blood on the carpet. “Blood.” you both raised your gun and checked the first floor.
“Stairs!” Jay said and again you followed him.
“You heard that?” the sound reminded you of a cry.
“Chicago PD! Alejandro put your gun down and come out!” Jay yelled. “Let your niece go first!”
“Stop! Stop!” you looked at Jay confused.
“Alejandro, if you won’t come out we’ll come for you” he yelled again.
“Wait, it’s not him.” you looked at Jay and nodded over the mirror where you saw a little girl tied up, sitting on the chair.
“Please, it’s gonna blow!” you hid your gun and walked into the room while Jay was calling for a bomb squad.
“Hey, what’s your name?” you asked her.
“Lauren.” she cried so hard. You needed to calm her down when you saw a bomb pinned to the chair.
“Okay Lauren, I need you to sit there carefully, don’t move, okay? We’ll get you out of here.”
“He said that he’s gonna make them suffer!” she yelled.
“Jay? Call for a backup, send them to her parents.” you knew that at this point he wanted to kill all of her family, to make them suffer, especially this little girl. “It’s gonna be okay. I’m gonna check on the timer right now okay?”
“Mhm.” she calmed a little. 6 minutes you saw. You knew what kind of bomb was that. Jay told you his stories when he was in the army, you knew more than he thought.
“Y/N? What are you doing? Let’s go, the bomb squad will help her!” Jay showed up in the room, watching your actions.
“It will be too late. Hey, Lauren. I need you to switch places with me on 3 okay?” you looked at her, and she nodded slowly.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! You want yourself killed?”
“Jay! Just let me do my job. It has 5 minutes timer now, when she’ll stand, it’s gonna run down, we won’t be able to get out of there and they’ll be too late. I’m gonna sit there to stop it from going down fast.”
“Y/N, please…” he walked closer and hugged you.
“On 3 Lauren. 1… 2… 3…” you pushed her to Jay and sat on the chair. You looked at the timer. 3 minutes left.
“Take her out, I’ll stay on the line!” you said.
“5021 George, I’m going out with a hostage. Detective Voight will stay on the line.” he felt tears in his eyes. He let go of her hand and went outside. Lauren went to the ambo to get checked out.
“Halstead, what the hell? Where’s Y/N?” Voight asked him.
“She switched places with Lauren, she’s holding out the timer.”
“Y/N?” Voight spoke.
“D-dad, I’m fine. Just tell the squad to come here asap.”
“They’re 6 minutes out.”
“Well… We’ve 2!” you said.
“I’m calling them!” Jay said. He put them on the line to speak to you.
“Y/N, we need you to say what this looks like.”
“Well, it has a timer and 3 colors inside. Black, white and blue.”
“Okay, that means he used the same bomb as on the vehicle. You need to stay calm and carefully remove the blue one!” they instructed you. Your hands were shaking, your eyes were blinded and your heart was pounding so hard.
“Okay, yeah, I’ll do it.” you took a deep breath and take moved slowly to the blue cable. You looked at the timer. It has stopped.
“Y/N? Y/N!” Jay was screaming to his radio, but you couldn’t respond. You immediately stood up and went downstairs. Tears blurred your vision. You reached out to the doors and opened them. All the members looked at you relieved. “Shit!” he said and run to you.
At this point, you were crying. He took you in his arms, softly stroking your hair.
“I can’t breathe.” you choked.
“Easy honey, easy. It’s the adrenaline rush, everything is okay.” he hugged you tighter.
You had still covered your face with your hands. They were shaking so bad. Jay tried to calm you down, so he took them from your face and kissed you.“Come on, I’m taking you home.” he held you close and went with you to Hank.
“Oh god Y/N! What were you thinking out there?!” now he was the one holding you.
“I was doing my job, I needed to help her!” you said as you felt something hugging you from the side. Lauren held your hand hard and cried.
“Thank you, thank you. I wanna be strong as you! I’ll be a cop one day!” she was full of energy, she didn’t realize what just happened, she was only 8 years old after all… And that fact was making you sick. That little girl almost died because of payback.
“I’m so glad you’re okay, baby. Go to see your mom.” you pointed at a police car, who just arrived.
“Hey, you sure you’re fine?” Jay asked you when Hank left to speak with Lauren’s mom.
“I just want to go home.” he nodded at went with you to his truck.
You held Jay’s hand the whole ride to your home.
“Can you go upstairs with me? I need someone right now… Also, I have your favorite beer.” you smiled.
“Yeah, I’ll take that beer!” he answered and followed you to your apartment.
You closed the door and went to the kitchen. Taking a beer, you noticed Jay standing in the hallway, looking at the picture frame with you and him. You put the beer down and walked to him. He turned to face you when you hungrily kissed his lips. The kiss was so desperate, but at the same time filled with passion and love. He put his hands on your back, bringing you closer. When you couldn’t catch a breath, you pulled back.
“I love you. I love you so freaking much. I think about you, day and night if you’re okay if you slept enough. When I pushed Lauren into your way… I knew that I’ll always want you to be the one who won’t leave my side, Jay. I want you to be here. Right here, with me.” he pulled you into a hug, just like before. It was different than the other time when he was with you. This time, there was real love between you two.
“Y/N, you don’t know how happy I am right now. You saved me so many times, you’re my little miracle. I was so afraid to tell you that, but now I wish I could say it earlier. Holding you in my arms is the best thing in the world and I’ll always be here for you baby. I love you.” he kissed your forehead and took you to the couch. You sat next to him and covered both of you with a blanket.
He couldn’t stop thinking about how lucky he was to have you. You were his light.
