Hailey pulled up outside of Chicago Med and parked her car.
"Are you coming Will?" She asked him, after realizing he hadn't gotten out of the car after her.
"I can't." Will said sadly.
"Jay is going to need you." Hailey told him.
"I'm the only reason that this even happened. Jay would be better off without me." Will said searching Hailey's car, and located her gun.
"Will, put the gun down." Hailey said as calmly as she could, but then Will locked himself in her car.
"Unlock the door! Will!" Hailey said madly.
"Damn it!" Hailey exclaimed, pulling out her cellphone.
"Dawson." Antonio said not paying any attention to the caller ID.
"Hey Antonio, are you still at Chicago Med?"Hailey asked anxiously.
"Yes. I'm upstairs with Jay, in ICU, he just woke up, and he really wants to see Will. Have you guys found him yet.
"Yes…"Hailey started to say but Antonio interrupted her.
"That's great! Bring him upstairs." Antonio said happily.
"I can't." Hailey said, still yelling towards her car.
"What do you mean you can't?" Antonio asked her.
"I'm calling you because I need your help with something down in the parking lot." Hailey told him.
"Okay...So why didn't you call Voight, I'm really not supposed to leave Jay.
"Will locked himself in my car…." Hailey started to say, but was interrupted.
"Hailey, I don't have time for this." Antonio said, getting ready to end the call.
"He's has my gun." Hailey said weakly. Antonio went ghost white, and ended the call.
"Jay, I'll be right back." Antonio told him,
"Wait, where is Will?" Jay asked trying to get up, but pain stopped him. Antonio stayed quiet, and dashed out of the room, down the hallway and into the stairwell. He took the stairs two at a time, until he made it to the main floor and ran out a exit leading right to the parking lot.
"Will, man, come on, don't do this. Jay is asking for you." Antonio said as he stood next to Hailey.
"Why? So I can go see the damage that I caused?" Will asked him, still holding Hailey's gun in his hand.
"Jay wouldn't want this." Hailey yelled back, trying to get Will to surrender her gun.
"How do you know what he wants?" Will asked her, tears forming in his eyes.
"Call Voight." Antonio whispered to Hailey, who walked a few feet away, pulling out her cellphone and scrolled through her contacts and tapped Voight's name.
"Voight." Hank said into his cellphone.
"Hey, Sarge, sorry to bother you, but Antonio and I have a situaation at Med." Hailey told him.
"What kind of situation?" Voight asked her.
It's Will...he locked himself in my car…..with my gun." Hailey said preparing herself for Voight to yell at her.
"What?! How the hell could you let this happen?! We are on our way over!" Voight said ending the call.
"Atwater, Ruzek, you are team one, Burgess, you're with me. We all need to get over to Chicago Med. NOW!" Voight commanded. The detectives got into their assigned cars, closed their doors and Kevin and Voight slid their keys into their car's ignitions, and they both sped off to Med. The two cars sped into the parking lot, and the Detectives were out of the cars almost faster than the driver's could park them.
"You called Voight?" Will said in disbelief.
"You didn't give us a choice." Antonio told him.
"Will, I know you feel like you betrayed Jay by letting Jade get so close to you. Not everyone you meet is going to use you, like she did. You need to forgive yourself!" Hailey tried again.
"How do you think Jay is going to feel if you kill yourself? He'll never forgive himself. Will, I am giving you the chance to go see your brother, I'd take it." Voight said gruffly. Will raised the gun to his head and was about to pull the trigger, but stopped.
"I can't do this." He said as he placed the gun down on the seat next to him, and unlocked the car doors. Hailey quickly reached in and grabbed her gun off the seat.
They both walked into Med as Maggie greeted them with a smile.
"Glad your back Will! I was worried about you" Maggie said as she continued "He just fought a small infection but he is finally in stable condition, he should wake up in an hour or two he's in recovery" she said
"Thanks" Will said as he and Hailey walked to the Recovery section of the hospital. They looked at every room until they finally got to Jay's.
He was laying on his back, but he was still intubated.
"He looks so peaceful" Hailey said as she moved closer to his bed.
"Yeah, I'm just glad he pulled through, I don't know what I'd do without him" Will said as his voice quivered.
"I'm glad too" Hailey said
They sat together in silence as the swoosh of the machines pumped oxygen into Jay's lungs
Finally, Hailey stood up and announced she was going to get coffee for the both of them, and update the team.
"I'll give you some privacy with him" Hailey said as she walked out
"Thanks" Will said as he stared at Jay's battered body
"Hey little bro, uh I've never missed you more than right now. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe, I-I'm sorry she stabbed you, and beat you , and punched you and everything, I'm so sorry Jay" Will said as he cried into his palms.
"He's gonna forgive you, you know" a voice said
Will looked up to see Rhodes standing there.
"Connor I-" Will started
"Hey let's go outside he needs his rest" Connor said as he led the way outside the room.
"I don't even know his injuries" Will said
"Alrighty then, he has a small bleed on his brain that is reducing, he has a broken jaw but his mouth is wired shut so he can heal faster, he does also have a crushed larynx which resulted in him having to be intubated, some bones in his face were broken but as long as he gets rest he should be better soon" Connor said
"Wow, oh my god" Will said "what about the stab wound?"
"Okay the knife penetrated through his abdomen, he does have some internal bleeding that we are trying to monitor",
lungs are getting stronger, hopefully we can extubate soon, cuts and bruises as well but those will heal up" Connor finished
Will just stared at him blankly as he found his words
"I'm just glad he's alive, thank you Connor" he said.
"He might be my patient but he's also family" Connor said as he smiled and said walked back into the room with Will.
