He's chasing her through the forest of all places. It's dark, darker than it usually is, and she's tripping over tree roots that appear out of nowhere. 

She hears his voice as he follows her, echoing around her. "You can't run forever, Mrs Florrick. Eventually, I will catch and kill you, like I did my wife."  Her heart rate is climbing with each step she runs.

She can't be killed: she has two kids, a husband, a job, clients, and Will. She can't leave Will, not now.

"I'm going to  enjoy hearing you scream and beg for mercy, Mrs Florrick." Sweeney's voice is closer now. He's gaining ground. 

"Run, Leesh!" A familiar voice encourages her from deeper inside the woods. She knows that voice, has heard it for years

 It's Will.

Will. 

Will is encouraging her to get away, to come back to him, to where he'll keep her safe from the wife murderer. 

She starts running faster, dodging the tree roots and the branches, navigating the forest in the dark, to get to Will, to run into his safe arms. She feels the sharp branches cutting at her skin, ripping it open, but she ignores it and keeps running to where Will is waiting for her. 

"Stop running, Mrs Florrick." Sweeney shouts. She ignores him, urging her legs to go faster. 

She's being brought to the forest floor, being flipped onto her back, staring into the face of Colin Sweeney, who has a sharp knife to her throat. She struggles against him, to try and throw him off her but it's no use: all it gets her is a knife pressed into her throat, drawing a thin trickle of blood running down her throat. 

"WILL!!" She screams. Will will save her, he's waiting for her, maybe with Diane, Kalinda, Cary and Peter. 

"Will, help me!" She screams before she's slapped across her face hard. 

"If you don't shut up, I'm going to kill people you care about right in front of you starting with your lover Will Gardner, then Diane Lockhart and ending with you, after you've watched them all bleed out. So I'd keep quiet if I were you." Colin hisses to her in a deadly tone of voice. 

Tears slip down her face. She has no doubt that he'll carry out what he just said he would, so if she wants to protect her family, she has to keep quiet no matter how much it'll hurt. 

"Good girl." Colin whispers, stroking her cheek with the hand that isn't holding the knife to her throat, like a father would a daughter. It makes her want to throw up. He's about to kill her and he's stroking her cheek. 

"Don't hurt them, kill me, just don't hurt them." She begs him. She told herself she'd never beg, but that was before he threatened Will, Diane and the rest of her family. Even though it's dark, she can see the evil smile he has etched on his face. 

"Well, my dear, whether I kill them or not, is completely up to you." Colin replies, removing the knife from her throat for the time being. Even though there's no knife to her, she's still powerless against him. He holds the fate of her life, and her family, in the palm of his blood stained hands.
