Gracies POV (7 Years Old)

I woke up to the moonlight still shining through my closed blinds and sighed heavily when I realised that I needed a drink. Will normally puts a bottle of water next to my bed before I go to sleep but he's in New York for some kind of medical conference. With a slight hint of reluctance I climbed out of my bed in search of some water. Being as quiet as I possibly could I opened my door silently and tiptoed down the hallway stopping dead in my tracks when I saw the front door wide open. My heartbeat escalated as I silently backed back down the hallway and silently pushed Jays bedroom door open,

"Jay" I whispered frantically as I shook his bare shoulder, looking over my shoulder terrified that someone was in the house "Jay wake up" I pleaded and his eyes flicked open,

"What's the matter?" He whispered back groggily,

"I think someone's broken in" I said with fear evident in my eyes and Jay sat up straight immediately "I went to get water but the front door's wide open" I told him and he moved to get out of bed,

"Ok ok" he soothed "stay here ok" he said as he stood up,

"I don't wanna be on my own" I said scared and he gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze,

"It'll just be for a couple minutes" he assured "if you hear any noise, you hide ok" he said firmly "do not leave this room unless I say, do you understand?" He asked and I nodded with tears in my eyes "good girl" he said giving me a kiss on the forehead before quietly grabbing his gun from his bedside table.

I waited glued to the spot as the deafening sound of silence filled the apartment. That was until I heard the sound of a crash then a hell of a lot of shouting coming from the kitchen. Remembering what Jay had said I grabbed his phone with shaking hands and climbed in to the wardrobe. Trying to ignore the unpleasant sound that where happening in the next room I unlocked Jays phone and selected the first number that came up,

"Jay?" I heard a tired Adam answer on the other end,

"It's Gracie" I whispered with a shaky voice,

"Gracie?" He asked confused "what's the matter?" He asked now fully alert,

"You need to help Jay" I sobbed as quietly as I possibly could "someone broke in and now there's all this banging and shouting and I don't know what to do" I cried,

"Ok baby girl I'm coming right now" he assured "where are you?" He asked,

"Jay told me to hide so I'm in the wardrobe" I told him,

"That's good" he said "I'm gonna stay on the phone with you ok but I want you to stay as quiet as you can" he said and I swallowed in an attempt to calm my breathing,

"What if they find me?" I asked terrified,

"We're not gonna let that happen" he promised "someone's gonna be with you in two minutes ok?" He assured and I nodded silently. I jumped out of my skin when the sound of a gunshot rang through the air and I covered my ears and scrunched my eyes shut hoping that everything was somehow a dream "Gracie?" I could hear Adam ask but I was to afraid to speak "Gracie are you ok?" He repeated but I kept silent "we're coming for you kiddo, everything's gonna be ok" he assured but I just kept crying silently.

Adams POV

My heart sank when I heard a gunshot through the phone and I pushed down on the gas pedal. Kim was on the phone with Voight who had already alerted the rest of the team as well as some uniforms and an ambo but Kim and I were sure to make it there before them. I pulled my car to a sudden stop outside of the building and we both pulled our guns as we ran up to the apartment. The front door was wide open and I scanned the hallway for any apparent danger,
