Kelly had looked to me a lot after Shay's death, I would find myself spending the night at his place often. Not doing anything, just being there for support. Everyone had wrapped their heads around Shay's death as being a terrible accident. So after Gabby arrived at the station with her suspicions that Shay's death had been a murder, that was a lot to take in.

I had talked to Kelly about Adrian Gish and his interactions with him and the way he described him and his attitude, there was no doubt in my mind he was responsible for her murder. The problem lied in the fact that it was close to impossible to catch an arsonist, the perfect crime, all evidence auto destructs. But if there was someone who was gonna figure it out, it was going to be this unit.

Gabby was in the district helping us out with the case, everything was kind of crazy. We had to be extremely careful during this investigation because Gish knew we were onto him and he was playing games with us.

Kim and Adam were ordered to follow him one night which ended up with their patrol car being blown up, although once again with no evidence to point back to him. He knew we were watching him, and he was watching us.

I was going to meet with a C.I for some information in a more secluded location. I parked my car and started walking to a parking lot. I turned a corner and I jumped when I found myself face to face with Adrian Gish.

"Hello, Detective y/l/n." He spoke softly with a terrifying smile on his face.

"Gish, what do you want." I tried to compose myself quickly as to not to show any fear.

"How are your cop friends, Kim and Sean I think are their names?" He didn't lose the smile.

"Why did you do it, Gish? Why did you kill Leslie?" I tried to press him to confess.

He laughed. "She was gone in seconds, wasn't she? Poor old Gabriela Dawson, couldn't do anything about it could she? " He started walking away.

"You're not gonna win this Gish!" I told him. He laughed again before disappearing behind a building.

I quickly pulled out my phone and called Hank. "Talk to me" He answered.

"Sarge, Gish was following me, I think he pretended to be one of my C. Is to lure me out. He just left. Only said weird phrases like he normally does, mentioned Gabby." I told him.

"You alright?" He asked me.

"Yes, I think he just wanted my attention."

"Alright, get back to the district," he instructed me.

"I'll be there in 10" I confirmed before I hung up.

I got in my car and I was driving back to the district when I got a text on my phone.

Adam: Meet us at the warehouse in pulaski, we have a lead.

I read it and turned my car around to head to the warehouse.

_____

Jay had gotten a lead to a house and everyone was gonna head there.

"Where the hell is y/n, she said she'd be here in 10" Voight shouted at everyone.

Everyone shrugged. "I'll send her the location and tell her to meet us there."

Adam took out his phone and sent the text but it didn't go through. He thought nothing of it, just taking it to be a bad signal.

Everyone arrived at the house and walked in guns drawn. Everyone separated, Jay walked into a dark room that had pictures hung all over it. He opened a curtain and he felt his heart skip to his throat.

"Hey, guys!" He screamed for everyone.

Everyone walked in and gathered around a desk and a board filled with pictures of Gabby and y/n.

Antonio and Adam picked up their phones as soon as they registered what all of this meant and called for the girls.

"Y/n where are you?" Adam yelled through the phone.

"What warehouse? Hello? Hello?" Adam threw his fists to the wall frustratedly.

"Jay, call the office and tell them to track their phones down," Voight instructed.

———————

Adam seemed stressed when he called me so I sped up assuming it to be because I wasn't at the warehouse yet.

I parked my car around the back and started walking towards the door. I thought it was weird that it was really silent but I thought checking the inside couldn't hurt.

I opened the door and a huge smell of gasoline immediately hit me making me slightly dizzy. It's a trap. I thought and I quickly turned around only to realize the door I came through only opened from the outside.

"Sh*t." I turned around and tried to look for another exit but noticed a fire had started in the opposite side of the room and was quickly moving towards me.

I reached for my phone and tried dialing Adam, Jay, Hank, Erin but it would go straight to voicemail.

"C, mon!" I screamed starting to cough from the smoke.

I then grabbed my radio and called for help. "This is 50-21 Trent requesting immediate Fire assistance at Warehouse Pulaski. I'm trapped." I repeated this 3 times hoping someone would hear this.

I took my jacket off and placed it over my mouth staying as close to the door while looking for any way out. I noticed a metal container on the opposite side of the room.

———————-

We had located Gabby, Antonio and Hank were on the way to her. But they were having a harder time tracking y/n, once they did Jay and Adam were on their way.

On their way there both Adam and Jay heard y/n's voice coming through the radio, barely audible but all they were able to hear was 'fire' and 'trapped' which was enough to make them panic.

Jay picked up his radio and asked for y/n to come through again but there was no answer.

Once Adam and Jay arrived at the warehouse Firetruck 51 was at the scene. They quickly made their way to Boden asking for information.

"We got a call reporting smoke coming from the warehouse, I wasn't aware you were called."

"Chief we have reason to believe y/n's in there," Jay told Boden with urgency.

There was a visible change in Boden's demeanor before lifting his radio up to his mouth. "Everyone we have a female victim inside, suit up and get inside!" He yelled.

Squad had now arrived and Kelly ran over to Boden, Jay, and Adam. "Why are you guys here?" He asked.

"Y/n's inside, Gish did this," Adam told him.

"Chief I'm going in." Kelly ran to the truck to grab an oxygen tank. Boden didn't bother stopping him.

Kelly and Hermann went inside. Jay and Adam watched outside impatiently to find out what situation y/n was in.

After about 10 minutes after going in, Severide and Hermann came out, Kelly was carrying y/n's limp body over his shoulder.

Both Adam and Jay ran to her as Hermann helped Kelly put y/n down gently on a stretcher where Chili and Brett were ready to treat her.

"She climbed into a metal container, we almost didn't find her," Hermann told us.

"Is she alive?" Jay asked Sylvie with tears welling up in his eyes.

"She inhaled a lot of smoke and her body temperature is incredibly high. She's alive but we need to take her to the hospital now." Sylvie told them as she pushed the stretcher into the ambulance, Chili getting into the driver's seat.

"I'm going with you," Jay and Kelly announced at the same time trying to hop into the ambulance with y/n.

Jay glared at Kelly and he hopped in. Kelly simply stepping back and shutting the ambulance doors.

———————————

I wasn't taking no for an answer, I had to be with her. Adam shut the doors and Chili started driving to the hospital.

I held her hand as Sylvie checked for her vitals. "Hang in there y/n, you're gonna be ok," I spoke to her.

"Chili, hurry up." Sylvie turned to the front and shouted at Jessica.

"Why what's wrong?" I asked her worried at what she was seeing and I wasn't her.

"Her pulse is slowing down." Brett hesitated before telling me.

"Don't you dare y/n! Please...I...I...I need you here, with me" I brought her hand up to my lips as if in some way I was speaking to her skin, and she would hear me that way.

Sylvie gave me a pitiful look before administering something else into y/n's IV.

Once she got to the hospital Dr.Rhodes rushed her into an emergency room.

"Jay you gotta wait here...Sorry." Maggie placed a hand on my chest stopping me.

I got back to the waiting room and Adam arrived shortly after asking for information, telling me he had already called the team letting them know we were here.

I woke up and felt like I had smoked 100 packets of cigarettes. I started coughing and I felt like I couldn't speak until I got a glass of water. I lifted myself up on the bed and I saw Nadia was in a chair next to my bed.

"y/n, Hi." She got up.

I gestured for some water. She quickly grabbed a sippy cup next to my bed and handed it to me. I started drinking and gulped everything down in seconds. "Thank you." I hissed.

"I'll get you some more and call Dr.Rhodes in here." Nadia squeezed my hands before walking out.

Dr.Rhodes walked in a few minutes later with Nadia. "Hi y/n, how are you?" He asked me.

"Like I've smoked a packet of cigarettes every day for 50 years." I could barely speak.

Connor laughed. "I can imagine. You had some 1st-degree burns on your hands, and you were oxygen-depleted which caused you to pass out. Luckily the guys from 51 were able to find you on time so you weren't exposed long enough for permanent damages. With Oxygen therapy we expect you to recover within the next few days. Just drink loads of fluids and don't do anything strenuous." He finished explaining.

"Thank you, Connor." I smiled.

"Now you have some very antsy visitors, d'you mind if I let them in?" He asked me.

"Not at all." my smile grew wider.

Seconds later there was barely any space left in my room. Jay, Hank, Trudy, Adam, Kim, Sean, Alvin, Antonio, Gabby, Kelly, and Hermann were all there to see me.

I suddenly remembered hearing Jay's words when I was in the ambulance. I wasn't going to mention it though, I had promised myself not to get involved with him while Erin still had 'control' over him.

"How are you feeling?" Kelly asked me stroking my hair back.

"Like I'll survive thanks to you. Seems like I owe you again." I smiled up at him I grabbed his hand.

"Oh stop it." Kelly leaned down to kiss my forehead. As he did I noticed Jay's jaw clench.

"Did you get him?" I asked Hank shifting my attention away from Jay.

"He's gone." He told me and I felt a huge wave of relief flood over me.

"Thank you for finding me...again." I then turned to Adam and Jay. "I'm never going to meet anyone alone anymore." I laughed.

"We've got your back y/n, always." Adam squeezed my foot over the sheets.

Jay simply nodded although he wouldn't keep his eyes off Kelly.

As Connor had told me, only 3 days later I had already recovered and was back to work.
