《Reason to this madness (Jay Halstead x reader)》Drive home (5)

Jay and I walked outside and he held his car door open for me. I hopped in.
"I'm so sorry about the drink." He apologized again "About everything."
"Jay, it's fine." I turned to face him. "Please just stop apologizing"
"ok, I'm sor-" He stopped himself.
"Why don't we start over?"
"Ok, yeah that would be perfect." He sounded relieved.
"I'm y/n, y/n y/l/m." I smiled.
"I'm Jay, Jay Halstead." He smiled back at me.
"So Jay Halstead, how do you know where to go if I haven't even told you where I live?"
"Well you see, I interviewed this woman the other day, I was a douche to her, but she gave me your address so I know where you live." He played along.
"hmm, is it often that you remember people's addresses?" I questioned him again.
He didn't answer and instead kept looking forward. We were silent for a while.
"So your brother is a doctor and you're a cop, your parents must be proud."
"My mom was yeah, she passed a couple of years ago. My dad...I don't really talk to him."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
"Don't be, no apologies remember." He gave me a weak smile.
"So are you from Chicago?"
"Yeah born and raised for many generations." He told me proudly.
We finally got to my apartment building. Jay quickly hopped out of the car to open the door for me. "I'll walk you in." He told me.
We walked into the front doors and I saw the landlord standing behind the front desk. "Miss y/n, there's been a break-in at your apartment I'm not sure if anything was taken."
"What-" I muttered as I ran to the elevator to go up to my floor, Jay following close behind me.

We arrived on the floor and I ran to my door which had been broken off its hinges. "You have got to be kidding me!" I screamed frustrated.
We then heard something crash inside my apartment. "Wait here" Jay whispered pushing me behind him and taking out his gun. He walked inside my apartment, gun raised checking to see where the source of the noise was. "All clear." Jay hollered at me walking back to the door. "I think it was one of your picture frames that fell."
I walked in and just felt like crying out of frustration. I walked around finding several broken things. I walked into my room and opened my drawer looking for something specific. "No!" I cried falling down to my knees.
"What?" Jay rushed to my side.
"They took my necklace, my Grandmother's necklace, my mom gave it to me when I moved here, it's sort of like a good luck charm. I never take it out of its box because I'm afraid of losing it but they've taken it." I explained to him trying to remain calm although I just felt like crying.
"Look, I've called for some backup, they can check it out, but for now you can't stay here." Jay place a hand on my shoulder. "C, mon." He extended his hand out to me.
"I have nowhere to go Jay." I sighed taking his hand and getting up.
"You're staying with me don't worry." He smiled.
"Oh no, you don't have to-"
"I'm not taking no for an answer y/n." He cut me off.
I gave him a soft smile. "Ok, I'll just grab some clothes then." I grabbed a gym bag and started tossing a couple of things in there. I opened my closet and furrowed my brows.

"What?" Jay asked me noticing my change of expression.
"Whoever broke in stole a bunch of my clothes..." I said confused.
Jay looked confused and walked over to stand beside me, he noticed items had been moved around and it looked very empty.
"That's a first for me...Let's go y/n." He said grabbing my arm gently and pulling me in front of him. I noticed he looked uncomfortable.

The Essence of Cultivation
After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve. Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.

Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring. Original cover edited on GIMP. Destroyed city original photo "apocalypse" from Camila Rodrigues on Pixabay.
