chapter seven. the weigh station , part 2.

Sam puts a gun into her ankle holster and Antonio gives her a pair of cuffs and says, "Ratchets on the cuffs have been shaved down. So one tug, and they'll come off" then he walks away.

"You're gonna be smart right, and safe?" Jay questions. Sam nods her head and says, "Yeah"

Jay leans in closer to Sam and kisses her when no one is looking.

"What was that for?"

"To remind you not to do anything stupid and that I'm waiting for you when you get back"

Sam smirks and asks, "Are you trying to tell me something Jay Halstead?" and then Kevin rolls in, in an unmarked car.

"I guess you'll find out later" Jay smiles and walks away. Sam rolls her eyes and says, "Yeah, cause that was fair"

"Alright, I want four tracking devices on this thing" Al annonces, and Kevin and Adam do as told.

"Alright Burgess and Roman, stay close but not to close in case we need to call in patrol. Ruzek you're with Antonio. Atwater with Olinsky. Halstead and Lindsay with me"

JP drives down the alley where the meet is suppose to happen. Sam is sitting in the passenger seat, handcuffed and 'unconscious' while the team is following behind them.

Then minutes later after hearing Price's phone ring, she feels herself being taken out of the car and held against it. "Satisfied?" Sam heard Price say, then he puts Sam back into the car and drives off.

While at a stop light, Price gets another call. Sam opens her eyes to see what's going on and she sees a horrified look on JP's face and asks, "What is it?"

There was nothing but silence lurking in the car for about 2 minutes and Sam knew something was wrong, like a gut feeling, her grandfather always said that if you have a gut feeling, act on it cause it's probably right.

Sam sees JP go for his gun so she quickly undos the cuffs to go for it as well but Price was quicker and pointed it at the detective.

"Don't do it" Price says as he drives off, trying to ghost the others, while still pointing the gun at Sam.

Price drives over the train tracks right when the stop signs were going down, barely making it over when the train passes, really losing the team now.

"Gimme your phone" Price demands as Sam pulls it from her pocket and hands it him, "Now your gun"

Sam then hands over her ankle gun, while Price still points his towards the girl, who asks, "I thought you didn't kill cops"

"Yeah, well things change" Price says pulling over to the side and gets out still pointing the gun at Sam and telling her to get out which she obeyed, "Put these on" Price hands Sam zip tie cuffs, "Do it!" Sam does as told and JP pulls on them making it tighter then need be.

A cell phone rings and Price kicks over a barrel and answers it, then he throws Sam's phone and gun on the ground and leads them across the street to a women emptying out the trunk of her minivan and forcing the woman to give Sam the keys.

"I'm in a gold minivan" JP says over speaker phone, "Westbury field"

Price pulls up to an abandoned warehouse and gets out, and you guessed it still pointing the gun at Sam and then pulls her out and and up against the car, who asks, "You really think your gonna walk away from this?"

"Shut up! He's got my son. You or him? Not even close"

While Price is on his phone, Sam takes the only opportunity she could get to take him down. All the training she got from her family, from the academy, from her time in NY and when she taught herself, has come down to this. Sam grabbed the gun from Price's hand and tackles him to the ground, putting him in a headlock, making him almost past out.

Once Sam felt Price get weaker and lets go of the gun, she moves away from him grabbing it and now pointing it at the man who's been pointing it at her all afternoon and shouts, "Get against the car, now!"

"Don't let him kill my kid"

Sam quickly gets out of the zip ties and dials Voights number on the burner phone.

"Voight, I'm at 103rd central near sag channel. I got a car approaching 500 yards from the north. It's a red mustang. I think it's Showstack"

Voight says something but Sam isn't listening and hangs up the phone, then points the gun against JP's back and says, "You're going to act like everything is normal, like you're in complete control. Got it?"

"Uh huh"

"That's how we get your son back. Let's go" Sam pulls Price behind her still pointing the gun at him, waiting for Showstack to get out of his car, but he never does and ends up backing up.

"Where's he going?" Price questions.

"What's he doing?" Sam mumbles.

Price and Sam turn their heads to see Voight, Lindsay and Halstead drive down the dirt road, chasing after the dirtbag. Sam then pushes JP into the passenger seat and runs over to the driver's seat to follow after Voight.

When she finally catches up to everyone she runs over to Lindsay so she can cuff Showstack herself.

"In about 20 minutes I got to meet Commander Perry so he can brief the command staff including Commissioner Miller. You know, no one out there really knows how we operate, how we put ourselves in harm's way. If they did, our hands would be tied and the worst of the worst that we hunt down would go free. So when I say this stays in house, this stays in house, so we can keep operating the way we do" Hanks says then walks over to Sam and puts an arm around her shoulder, "Sam what you did today. What you did for this city...well no one will ever know, but this family will know"

Voight walks away and Antonio walks over to the girl and gives her a hug and says, "Cheers to that. Now I'm going to Molly's and getting drunk. Who's in?"

🌙🌙🌙

Sam heads into the waiting room at Chicago Med, waiting to hear anything about Maddie when she sees Sylvie Brett, who says, "Hey"

"Hey" Sam says sitting down a couple chairs down from the blonde, "Any update?"

"Waiting on one. Maddie's parents and sister are in there"

"You know, I've seen dead bodies and I've seen people shot in front of me. But uh, I've never seen someone take a bullet that was meant for me"

Then the doctor walks over to the two girls and they stand up, who says, "Here's the latest. The bullet severed the subclavian vein. The emergency surgery was to repair the rupture. Thankfully the bullet missed the jugular and the spine. So she's going to be in the ICU for at least another week, but very optimistic. She's gonna be okay"

And just like that a weight was lifted off of Sam's shoulders but she still feels guilty for even letting this happen in the first place.

"A bunch of us at 51 are down at Molly's if you wanna join" Brett asks.

"Any other night I'd say hell yes but rain check?"

"Yeah"

"Cool. Hey, um, tell Kelly I said hi"

Sylvie nods her head and leaves.

Sam walks into Jay's apartment and throws her keys onto the side table and walks into the bedroom and falls back onto the bed and sighs.

"Sam?" Jay questions walking out of the bathroom in nothing but his blue and pink plaid boxers, "Maddie okay?"

"Yeah, thankfully" Sam says sitting up and puts her head in her hands, "If the bullet had gone an inch closer to the left-"

Jay sits next to Sam and wraps his arm around her shoulder and says, "But it didn't so don't think like that"

Sam runs her hands through her hair and stands up, "You're right. I'm sorry"

Jay gets up and hugs the girl, "I'm just glad she's okay and more importantly, that you're okay"

Sam smiles and they both lean in for a kiss.

Sam breaks away from the kiss to go over to her suitcase to look for something to wear to bed, while taking off her shirt, and asks "So, you gonna tell me what you were gonna say earlier or am I supposed to guess?"

"Oh that, well uh-" Jay clears his throat, "I forgot"

Sam turns around and raises her eyebrow at the brunette, "Right...hey can I borrow one of your hockey jerseys? I gotta do laundry tomorrow"

Jay nods his head and Sam goes over to his dresser to looks for his Blackhawks Jersey. Jay watches the girl he likes put on his jersey and then take off her jeans, watching the jersey stop right at her thighs.

"Hey I'm gonna get a beer, you want one?" which Jay nods his head in response.

'Come on Jay. Get it together just tell her you like her, how hard could it be?' Jay thought to himself as Sam walks back in with two cold beers and hands one to him.

"Can I ask you something?" Jay asks.

"Yeah, what's up?" Sam says sitting criss cross on the bed.

"How do you think this partnership is going?"

"Really well, why? Do you not think so?" Sam frowns.

"No, I think it's going great. But what if I said something that will change that"

Sam chuckles a bit, and says, "I don't think it will. Try me"

Jay sighs, "I like you Sam, like a lot. I think we have this connection, that I just can't ignore anymore"

Sam's face falls to shock, "Jay I uh-"
