You stood outside the room in the empty corridor, you smiled as you watched Roman and the boy interact. You knocked on the door pushing it open. ‘Hi, am I interrupting? You asked, Roman shook his head. You nodded as you opened the door wide enough and pushed in the wheel chair. ‘Jess, this is my old partner Y/N.’ Roman introduced you to Jess. ‘Nice to meet you.’ She said, you nodded and gave her a friendly smile. ‘You too, are you sure about this?’ You asked her, she looked at her little boy before nodding. ‘You must be the famous Cayden I’ve been hearing about.’ You said as you bent down at the side of his bed. ‘Yeah.’ He said, you smiled. ‘Well then, I have something special for you.’ You told him, as you stood up and reached behind you into the waistband of your trousers. Holding the hat out in front of you, his eyes widened, he looked at his mum and Roman, you placed it on his head. ‘Wow.’ He said, you smiled and nodded. ‘Are you ready to go?’ Roman asked him, he looked at them. ‘To where?’ He asked excitedly. ‘Well, Roman here has pulled a few strings and you are riding along with him and I all day. Capturing the bad guys.’ You told him, his eyes brightened as he sat up and looked at Jess. ‘I thought the doctor said I couldn’t leave.’ ‘Well we convinced him.’ Jess told him, and he smiled. ‘You ready?’ Roman asked, Cayden nodded as Roman picked him up and placed him in the wheelchair. ‘I almost forgot, you need your badge.’ He said, he reached into his pocket and attached ‘Also you captain leathers.’ You said, he then looked at you as you held out the leather jacket with the Chicago PD logo. You placed it over his shoulders as Roman helped put it on and then took off, Cayden waving bye to his mum before disappearing. ‘He’ll have fun. Don’t worry.’ You comforted her, she nodded watched as you left, trying to catch up with them. ‘I can’t wait to be like you when I’m older.’ He said happily, Roman froze and an awkward smile appeared. ‘Yeah, maybe you’ll be in charge of us.’ You suggested, and he smiled, you glanced at Roman who was still staring off into the distance. ‘Well I’m going to get some coffee, would you like anything?’ You asked, Roman shook his head. ‘Hot chocolate.’ Cayden asked, you smiled and nodded. ‘Of course.’ You said before leaving the room. Glancing around the station you noticed a man in handcuffs sitting on the bench, when an idea popped into your head. ‘Hey Sarge, what’s he in for?’ You asked as you lent on the desk. She looked up with a raised eyebrow. ‘Attempted robbery.’ She stated as she turned back to the paper work in front of her. ‘Can I borrow him?’ You questioned Trudy, he looked at you as you motioned to Roman and Cayden. She smiled and nodded. ‘You, stand up.’ He did as he was told. ‘I need you to allow a little boy arrest you.’ You told him. ‘What’s in it for me?’ He quizzed you. ‘Pride. Letting a little boy fulfil his dream.’ You said deadpan. He looked at you for a couple of seconds before nodding. You walked behind him and uncuffed him ‘Cayden, I need your help.’ You shouted, Cayden and Roman then came out and watched as you ‘struggled’ with the man. ‘He’s not letting me put the handcuffs on, will you help?’ You asked him, he smiled and nodded. Roman wheeled him up and you handed him the handcuffs, which with a little help with Roman he managed to put on. Then the people sat around the station started to clap, as you gave Cayden a high five. ‘Thank you.’ You said to the man as the applause was dying down, he nodded as he watched Roman wheel Cayden away.
‘Ill let you be.’ You said as you gave Jess a comforting pat on the shoulder, so she knew you where there. ‘Y/N?’ Cayden whispered, you turned around to him. ‘Yes Captain.’ You said. ‘Thank you.’ He whispered, you nodded. ‘It was a pleasure to work with you.’ You said with a smile, he gave you a weak on in return as you squeezed his toes. You nodded to Jess and Roman as you walked out and made your way to the waiting room.
‘Y/N.’ You heard your name getting called out, you looked up and stood up in front of Roman. ‘He passed.’ He told you looking at you with teary eyes, your heart broke as he let out a quiet sob. You took a step forward and placed your hands on either cheek. ‘It might not seem it but he’s in a better place now.’ You told him as you rubbed the tears off his cheeks. His hands made their way around his waist as he pulled you tightly into him, your hands went under his arms and rubbed his back as he sobbed into the crock on your neck.
