chapter 7

Liz woke up and looked around confused,then she remembered where she was. She sat up slowly and grabbed her crutches. Liz stood up and walked over to the kitchen,and grabbed her pill bottle and started taking her meds. Liz dropped her bottle on the floor spilling her pills everywhere. Liz bent down and lost her balance. She fell to the ground and clenched her stomach in pain. Antonio's eyes shot open, and he sprung to his feet. He ran into the kitchen and saw liz laying on the floor.

"Oh my God....hey hey are you ok" Antonio asked

"I'm fine I just slipped trying to pick up my bottle" liz said still clenching her stomach.

Antonio picked liz up and sat her back down on the couch. Eva came running into the living room.

"What's going on?" Eva said

"I just fell sweetie....I'm ok"liz said with a half smile.

Eva sat down on the couch next to liz.

"Maby you should rest today and not come with me" Antonio said.

"No I'm fine Antonio I need to get out of the house, I've been resting for three weeks."liz said

"Ok...before we leave you need to change you bandages." Antonio said

"Ok....eva can you help me sweetheart" liz said

"Yeah of course" eva said as she helped liz into the bathroom.

Liz pulled up her shirt and began unwrapping the bandages. As she took them off she saw all the stitches along her sides,back,and stomach. Eva grabbed the bandages and started rewraping lizs stomach.

"Thank you Eva" liz said

"Your welcome....are you ok"

"Yeah I'm fine....why do you ask."liz asked

"I heard you and dad last night" Eva said

"What are you talking about..."

"You dont remeber what happened last night?"Eva said concerned

"No...did something happen....Eva you need to tell me."liz said

Eva bit her lip as she finished wrapping Liz's torso. Antonio knocked on the door.

"We gotta go you ready." Antonio said

"Uh yeah...I'll be right out"

Liz threw on her shirt and walked out of the bathroom.

"Bye eva" liz said with a smile.

"Buy eva...watch your brother....I love you" Antonio said as he kissed Eva on the forehead.

"Bye dad....by lizzie"

Antonio helped liz down the stairs and into the car. As they where driving down the road liz turned to Antonio and said

"Hey me and Eva where talking....did something happen last night"

Antonio didnt know if he should tell her what happened.

"No....you where just talking in your sleep".Antonio said trying to keep a straight face and not give any hint of what happened.

"Oh ok" liz said a little suspicious

They pulled up to the district and Antonio helped liz out of the car and up the stairs. As they walked in everyone started clapping and greeting them.

"Hey guys!"liz said

Antonio helped liz up the stairs to the intelligence unit as they walked in everybody turned to them excitedly.

"There's our girl!" Voight said coming out of his office.

"Hey guys"liz said

"Hey lizzie" Erin said walking over giving liz a hug

"Hey girl" kevin said as he walked over giving her a fist bump and a smile.

"Hey partner" Alvin said

"Hey partner"liz said back with a big smile.

Adam and jay walked over and said

"Hey.....we a decided to get you soemthing"

Adam and jay pulled out a wrapped little box. As liz began to unwrap it she started to laugh. She took out a foldable cane.

"Very funny guys very funny"liz said laughing

Adam and jay ran off laughing as liz threw the box at them.

Voight walked in and said

"Alright everybody we have a case. We have a 26 year old female name Victoria Hernandez. They found her body by a dumpster cut ope across the stomach."

"So she was probably a drug mule."liz said

"Yeah...they're doing an otopsy right now." Voight said.

"Hey they just found another girl..."Antonio said

"Alright let's head out" voight said

"If you need anything Trudy is down stairs."Antonio said

"Thanks bro"liz said

Everyone walked down stairs. Antonio walked by trudy's desk and said

"Hey liz is upstairs...just keep an ear out please....your the best."

"I got it" Trudy said

The team headed out. About 10 minutes later Peter stone walked through the door and over to Trudy's desk.

"Hello I'm looking for srgt. Voight." Peter said

"He and his team just stepped out....can I help you with something."

"Well do you know where Elizabeth Dawson is" peter said

"Shes upstairs,can I ask what you need her for."

"Well I need to talk to her about the case she was involved in.....unfortunately we need her to testify"peter said with a frown

"You need to wait until voight gets back and discuss that with him....you can wait right there he should be back any moment"

"Ok thank you" peter said.

As the team headed back in Peter stopped voight and Antonio.

"Hey Peter what's up man" Antonio said

"Nothing much man"

"Walk with me peter" voight said as he walked into his office

"Hey voight....I need to ask you a very difficult question." Peter said

"What's going on peter" voight said giving peter a concerned look.

"The case involving Elizabeth Dawson is going to trial and .....we need her to testify"

Voight sighed

"I dont know if that's a good idea shes been through alot....you need to ask Antonio before you tell her"

"Antonio can you come in here" voight said

Antonio walked in suspiciously

"What up" Antonio said

"Close the door......the case involving liz is going to trial and they need her to testify." Voight said

"No...that's not a good idea she is not handling this well at all.....this would just make it worse.....Is it neccessary."Antonio said raising his voice.

"It would help....and it would definitely send these guys away for life." Peter said

"Just....call her in here...and we can try to explain this to her." Antonio said

"Hey liz can you come here please" voight said

"Yeah sure" liz said trying to get to her feet

Antonio walked over and helped her into the office.

"Hi I'm Peter stone nice to meet you Ms. Dawson

"Nice to meet you to and please call me liz"

"Liz sit down" Antonio said

"What's going on"liz said very confused

"Listen you dont have to do this ok.....the trial for the guys who blew up you car is about to start and they need you to testify.you dont have to lizzie."Antonio said

Liz looked shocked at first and then she turned to Antonio and said

"I would do anything to get those scum bags out of my life forever and put up where they could never do anything to anyone again.....I'll testify."

"Listen you can think about this....."

Liz interrupted Antonio and said

"I can handle it Antonio"

"Ms. Dawson.....liz thank you very much." Peter said with a smile

"Your welcome" liz said

Antonio helped liz back to her desk and walked back into voights office.

"Listen I'm telling you she shouldn't do this....she cant handle it."

"Antonio If she says she can handle it"

"No.... she cant....last night I woke up to her screaming and crying.....ok so I dont think she can handle it!!" Antonio said

Voight shook his head

" I didnt know it was that bad man I'm sorry... If you need to tell Peter she cant do it go ahead."

"I'll talk to her.....I'm just worried....she didnt remeber anything from last night."

"You need to tell her so she can go see dr. Charles"

"I know....let's just get back to the case."

Antonio and voight walked out of his office.

"Alright everybody listen up.....our second victim, lilly Garcia 28. She was cut open just like victoria. We just got Victoria's otopsy. they found traces of latex in her system."  Voight said

"So she was a drug mule"liz said

"Right....they just sent up lilly's otopsy report. Whoever cut her was sloppier this time they found a small bag of cocaine with a viper on it." Antonio said

"Scorpion...I've seen that symbol before...on that night club downtown." Kevin said

"Well we need to get somebody on the inside....jay you can go in on this one."

"Alright...."

"Erin your going in to.....we need you to go in first and see who's running this thing." Voight said

"Alright let's go get ready."jay said

"Alright let's head out and get the surveillance set up."voight said

Everyone geared up and started heading out. Once they got to the club they all spread out. Erin started looking around and saw a man sitting on a couch in the corner with some guards standing around him. Erin started walking over and smiled and said

"Hey" in a flirty voice

"Hello gorgeous" the man said

"Can I sit" Erin said

"Of course...guys beat it" the man said to the guards

"So what your name" Erin said

"Trent.....what's yours beautiful." He said to Erin

"Julia" Erin said with a flirty smile.

They kept talking for a while then Erin said

"So trent I've heard that you could really hook a girl up" Erin said

"Oh yeah....you looking to score."

"Well not me but my boss is looking for some good product."

"Well mine is as pure as snow"

"Well here is his number.... we can meet you here tommorow."

"Alright then...I'll see you tomorrow"

"You bet" Erin said as she walked off.

As everyone left the club they headed back to the district. On the way over they started talking.

"Ok tommorow in the club he is ready to make a deal we just have to get him to make the sell and tell us how he's spending it." Erin said.

"Alright tommorow everybody be ready to move in" voight said

As they arrived back at the district they walked upstairs to find liz passed out asleep on her desk.

"I'm gonna take her home" Antonio said with a smile as he picked liz up out of her chair

"Alright bye" jay said

As Antonio drove liz to matt and Gabbys place ( because Eva and Diego had gone home) he looked at liz who was asleep in his passenger seat with concern. As he pulled up in the drive way liz woke up.

"Hey sorry i fell asleep i....I'm just really tired for some reason."

"That's ok just go get a good night's sleep....we have a big day tommorow." Antonio said as he walked liz to the door and nocked.

Matt opened the door.

"Hey guys" matt said

"Hey matt" liz said

Antonio and liz walked in and saw Gabby laying on the couch.

"Hey Antonio.....hey lizzie."

"Hey gab....listen I hate to be so forward with you but I'm so tired I'm gonna go to bed I love you guys" liz said

"Ok goodnight" they all said.

"Listen I need to talk to you two.....liz has not been doing well....last night i woke up to her screaming and crying that we left her alone to die....I tried to calm her down but nothing seemed to work."Antonio said

"Oh my God....poor lizzie....we'll watch her tonight ....thx for telling us Antonio." Gabby said shocked.

"No problem goodnight you guys" Antonio said

"Goodnight" matt and Gabby said

Gabby looked at matt and said

"Wake me up if you hear anything....I hope shes ok." Gabby said

Matt and Gabby went and layed down  while Liz started to toss and turn. Matt's eyes shot open as he heard a loud scream come from the other room. He woke Gabby up and jumped to his feet. When they walked into the room they saw liz huddled up the corner.

"Lizzie it's ok....lizzie look at me ....its Gabby"

"Get away please....you left me....you forgot about me."

Gabby and Matt slowly walked over,but when Gabby went to touch liz she crawled away.

"Lizzie look I'm here now I promise I will never leave you"

"Dont touch me!!!..... you left me all alone to die" liz said as she started throwing things.

Matt went over and grabbed liz's arms.

"No!! Stop please let me go.....dont do this please" liz said with a tear in her eye

Liz reached up and scratched Matt on the cheek with her nails.

"Ouch!!" Matt yelled

Matt let her go,and liz crawled back on the bed and balled up. Gabby went over and wrapped her in a hug and said

"Everything is gonna be ok.....its ok....I'm here for you lizzie."

Liz sat there and cried into Gabby's arm until she finally fell asleep. Gabby walked out of the room with matt.

"Let me see your cheek.....I'm so sorry I dont know what that was" Gabby said concerned

"I'm fine it's just a little scratch......we need to get her to see dr.charles. matt said

"Yeah but Antonio told us not to tell her yet." Gabby said

They both layed back down and tried to go to sleep. Gabby sat awake for a long time thinking about what those guys had done to her sister....how much pain they had caused her. She was worried about how liz would handle the news of what happened but for now she had to keep it a secret.
