There's a possibility that it's a family member of a criminal she arrested. They might be seeking justice in their own twisted way. They could have been planning the attack for a long time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike when Burgess was most vulnerable. Another suspect could be a corrupt cop from another precinct who doesn't like the way Burgess and her team are cleaning up the streets and cutting into their illegal activities.
One possible plot development could be her fellow officers' reactions. They might be filled with rage and determination to find the shooter. For example, they could start an intense manhunt across the city, questioning every possible suspect. Another aspect could be Burgess's own struggle in the hospital. She could have flashbacks of her time on the force and the cases she worked on, which gives her the will to fight for her life.
It could be an old enemy of Ezra. Maybe someone from his past who has a grudge against him for some reason, like a business deal gone wrong or a personal feud.
Well, the plot could start with the immediate aftermath of Erin getting shot. There'd be chaos at the scene, her colleagues in shock. Then it might focus on the investigation into who shot her. Maybe it was a criminal she put away who had connections on the outside and arranged for the hit. The story could also involve her struggle in the hospital, dealing with pain and the fear of not being able to return to work.
Perhaps it was someone within Toby's own group who had a hidden agenda. A so - called friend who was jealous of Toby or had some ulterior motives that led them to arrange for the shooting. This would add a lot of drama and betrayal to the fanfiction story.
There could also be a plotline where Burgess is pregnant during a particularly tough case. Her pregnancy could add an extra layer of tension and motivation for her to solve the case quickly, not just for the victims but also for the future of her unborn child. She might be more determined than ever to make the streets safer while carrying a new life.
In the fanfiction, Erin getting shot might have been an ambush by a long - time enemy she made during her investigations. As she lies in the hospital, she could have flashbacks of her past cases and the events that led to this moment. Her recovery could be a long and arduous process, with her struggling both physically and mentally, but with the support of her friends from the PD, she slowly regains her strength.
Well, in such a scenario, the other members of the Chicago PD might launch an all - out search for Burgess. They could start by interviewing witnesses who might have seen Gaines or any suspicious activity. Maybe they'll find some clues at the scene of the kidnapping that will lead them to where Gaines is hiding Burgess.
