Chapter Four
Jay and Elizabeth walk into the ED at Chicago Med. Voight is waiting by the nurse's station so they walk up to him.
'We dropped the evidence off at the district on our way here.' Elizabeth informs him.
'Good.' Voight nods. 'You did a good job.'
'Is there any update on the case?' Jay asks.
'That's actually why I called you guys here instead of having you go home.' Voight tells them. 'About two hours ago, a man matching Williamson's description was hit by a car and brought in. There was no official identification on his body. He currently in a coma.'
'You want me to confirm that it's him.' Elizabeth catches on.
'Yeah.' Voight nods. 'He's on the ICU. The nurses up there are expecting us. Are you okay to do identification?'
'Yeah.' Elizabeth nods.
'Let's go.' Voight says. Voight, Elizabeth and Jay all walk up to the intensive care unit. When they do, Dr Crockett Marcel is waiting for them. 'Dr Marcel, this is Detective Maxwell.' Voight introduces Elizabeth to the doctor. 'Detective Maxwell, this is Dr Marcel, he's a trauma surgeon here at Chicago Med.' Crockett and Elizabeth shake hands.
'Elizabeth, everyone calls me Liza.' Elizabeth states.
'Crockett.' Crockett nods. 'If you'll follow me, I'll take you to where we're keeping John Doe.' Elizabeth nods and she follows Crockett to a room with Jay and Voight following them. They stop at the door and look in.
'That's him.' Elizabeth nods. 'That's Jamie Williamson.'
'What's his prognosis like?' Jay queries.
'It's not looking good.' Crockett shakes his head. 'He had massive internal bleeding. He's still actively bleeding at the moment. We've done everything that we can but-'
'He's going to bleed to death.' Elizabeth finishes.
'Yeah.' Crockett confirms. 'We've made him as comfortable as we can.'
'The last thing he deserves is comfort as he dies.' Elizabeth scoffs.
'I'm sorry?' Crockett asks confused.
'He's suspected of killing hundreds of people.' Jay replies.
'He's not a suspect. He did kill all those people.' Elizabeth corrects her friend. Elizabeth notices that Crockett looks even more confused. 'You know the warehouse fire that happened earlier?' Elizabeth asks and he nods. 'He's the one that started it. M.O matched quite a few fires and bombings in Seattle. All evidence pointed to him but we couldn't make the case.' She finishes.
'Did he have any personal belongings?' Jay asks.
'He did.' Crockett nods. 'A backpack.'
'Can we take a look at it?' Elizabeth questions. Crockett hesitates. 'Just tell me where it is and look the other way.'
'Under the bed.' Marcel tells them quietly before walking away. Elizabeth takes some crime scene gloves out of her pocket and puts them on. She walks into the room, gets the backpack from under the bed and walks back out to Jay and Voight.
'What are you looking for?' Jay asks her.
'I won't know until I find it.' Elizabeth says. They walk over to the nurse's station and Elizabeth places the bag on the desk. She opens it up and starts rummaging through it. 'That's odd.' Elizabeth says under her breath. 'The lining of the bag is newly sewn.' She says. She takes a pocket knife out of her jacket pocket and cuts open the lining of the bag and takes out a piece of paper. She unfolds it and reads it.
'What is it?' Voight asks.
'His confession.' Elizabeth responds, handing over the letter. 'His confession to everything. All of the bombings in Seattle and this fire.'
'Slap some bracelets in this son of a bitch.' Voight states.
.
It gets to 7am when Elizabeth finally arrives back home. She walks through the apartment and into the kitchen where Callum is stood making breakfast for Aaron.
'Hey.' Elizabeth yawns. Callum looks at her and smiles.
'Hey.' Callum grins. 'Have you got to go back in?'
'Yeah.' Elizabeth nods. 'I just came to freshen up.'
'You can't go back in, you've been up all night.' Callum states. 'You need to sleep.'
'This case, Callum, it's linked to the Williamson case back in Seattle. We're expecting Ryan and Andy in a couple of hours although there's not going to be much point soon anyway.' Elizabeth responds.
'What do you mean?' Callum asks confused.
'Williamson was hit by a car. He's in ICU at Med. He had massive internal bleeding. They tried to stop it but didn't work.' Elizabeth tells him. 'So he's essentially going to bleed to death.'
'He's getting what he deserves.' Callum states. 'Was it a hit and run.'
'No.' Elizabeth shakes her head. 'We got CCTV footage from where he was hit. He stepped into the road without looking. The car going too fast and was too close to stop in time. The driver is shook up, she's only 17 and only got her licence last week. She was within the speed limit but and she did nothing wrong but that's not going to stop her thinking it's her fault and that she killed someone.'
'What if Williamson's family want to press charges for manslaughter?' Callum questions.
'It won't even make it past the front door of the DA's office.' Elizabeth says. 'The CCTV footage alone is enough to prove that this girl isn't at fault.' She adds. 'Anyways, I better go get changed. Jay is waiting in the car.'
'Why didn't he come up?'
'He's taking a power nap.'
'Of course he is.' Callum laughs.
.
It has been a few hours. In that time, Williamson had gone into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead. Intelligence are filling out some final paperwork on the cade when Sergeant Trudy Platt walks up the stairs with Officer Ryan Tanner and Luitenant Andrea Herrera. Ryan is carrying a box of files.
'Detective Maxwell.' Trudy calls over to Elizabeth. Elizabeth looks at her. 'Your visitors are here.' Elizabeth smiles and walks over to Ryan and Andy as Trudy walks back downstairs.
'Hey.' Elizabeth grins as she hugs her two friends. 'I'm afraid your trip was wasted.' She adds as she steps back. 'Williamson was involved in an accident. He died of internal bleeding an hour ago.'
'I wouldn't say it was wasted.' Ryan laughs. 'You'll still need all the files.' Voight walks out of his office and up to them.
'Maxwell?' Voight states. Elizabeth turns to face him.
'Sarge, this is Officer Ryan Tanner with Seattle PD and Luitenant Andrea Herrera with Seattle F.D. They were also involved in the Williamson cases back in Seattle.' Elizabeth introduces Andy and Ryan to Voight. 'This is Sergeant Voight, my boss.' Voight shakes hands with Andy and Ryan.
'Thank you for coming over.' Voight nods.
'No problem.' Ryan replies. Elizabeth then goes on to introduce Andy and Ryan to everyone else apart from Jay since they already know each other.
'So, what do you want us to do?' Andy questions.
'Just help us go through the files and paperwork to make sure everything matches up.' Voight tells them.
'You got it.' Ryan nods.
.
It gets to the end of the day. All of the paperwork has been finished, filed and sent to the courts. Everyone from intelligence and Andy and Ryan are sat at a table in Molly's.
'Don't you want to be getting to Callum and the kids?' Ryan asks Elizabeth.
'I'm only staying for about an hour.' Elizabeth states. Someone then covers her eyes with their hands.
'Guess who.' She hears.
