The next day as me and Gabby drive to work together, we sit there in front of Firehouse 51, trying to calm my nerves.
"Are you sure you can do this, Leslie? We don't have to do it today." Gabby says rubbing my leg.
"I have to. WE have to. If I don't do it today, Clarice may do it the next. It needs to be done." I say placing my hand on her hand.
Gabby leans over and kisses my lips gently. She pulls back and smiles at me.
"I'm so proud of you, Leslie. I love you." Gabby whisper stroking the back of my neck.
"I think I'm ready now." I say to Gabby.
We walk out the car toward Firehouse 51. We part ways and I head to Boden's office. I knock at his door.
"Come in." Boden says.
"Chief, can I talk to you?" I ask as soon as I step in.
"Sure, Shay. What about?" Boden says.
I sit down in the chair.
"Sir, do you remember when ambulance 61 was missing pain killers?" I ask.
"Sure, I remember." Boden says.
"Boden, I'm the one who stole the pills. I was under a lot of stress due to the death of Darden and Severide was having a hard time. So I started using them." I explain.
"What about when we had to do that drug test?" Boden ask.
"During that time I was trying to stop using. After the ambulance crash, I realize how I can't die being a drug addict, so I stopped and started getting help." I say.
"Why are you telling me now?" Boden ask.
"I can't truly be clean if I don't take the punishment for my actions." I say.
Boden sighs as he rubs his forehead.
"Well I'll have to talk to the board, to see what we'll do with this situation. But for now, Shay, I'd recommend you take a couple of days off. Make sure you have your whole story put together. You'll probably have to tell the board of this." Boden says.
"Yes sir." I say as I stand up.
I walk out of Boden's office feeling like half of that secret is of my shoulders.
