Breaking Free

Rosalind

Lucy's POV
I woke up and i was strapped to a table, i couldn't move. i felt sore from Luke's beating the day before yesterday and now i've been kidnapped, just great. i felt a needle piercing my skin, the DOD tattoo. I know when I get home Luke will have some new consequences for me despite the fact that i was literally abducted.
Caleb: You know what it is? Tell me
Lucy: my day of death
i managed to make out

Jackson's POV
Jackson: have you seen Lucy?
John: uh, no, not yet
Jackson: like texted me last night, she never came home
John: Well, she's a grown woman. Why? Are you worried?
Jackson: No. I-I mean, yeah, a little. I-I texted and called. There's still no answer
John: Her phone could be dead. She's always complaining the charger in her car doesn't work
Nolan called over Nyla
John: Harper. Did you see Lucy in the locker room?
Nyla: no, why?
John: If she's just running late and we ring the fire alarm, she'll get dinged, but -
Jackson: But - If we don't and something terrible-
Nyla: Sergeant!
she called out to Grey we all walked over to him and Tim

Tims's POV
I saw Nyla come over, she looked worried
Grey: yeah?
Nyla: Tell him.
John: Lucy did not come home last night. She's not responding to texts or calls
Tim: okay, didn't she go to the bar with you Jackson?
Jackson: she did but i left early, she insisted on taking me home... but i let her stay. she um, she did say something about a guy, i think Caleb?
Tim: Caleb Wright- with a W
Grey: Could've ended up at his place, overslept
Tim: no lucy wouldn't cheat
Jackson: she doesn't do one night stands
Nolan: lucy doesn't over sleep and she's never late
we all said at the same time
Grey: What do you know about this Caleb guy?
Jackson: Nothing
Tim: No, he uh, said that he worked for a medical supply company downtown. I saw a video of him playing with a puppy.
they all looked at me weird
Tim: lucy had a weird feeling, i saw her checking out his instagram page
Grey: All right, take West, run a background check. I want to know everything you can find on Caleb before we knock on his door. And find Armstrong.
Tim: right, come on West
Nyla: I'll run a trace on Lucy's phone, get her into MUPS and NaMus systems.
Grey: Everyone, listen up! Officer Lucy Chen has not been seen for approximately 13 hours. Given the circumstance, we cannot rule out abduction. So stop whatever you're doing. I want everyone on this until she's located. Notify S. O., see if they can shag calls for service.
Nyla: Phone company says GPS is disabled. Last tower ping was on Sixth and LaBrea at 9:07 last night.
Jackson: that's not far from the bar we went to
Grey spoke in his radio
Grey: Control, I need a shop to swing by Las Torres looking for a missing officer, Lucy Chen. Code 3.
Dispatch: copy that
John: So, what do we do now?
Grey: Go to the hospital. Talk to the victim you saved, see if she has any insight to help us find this guy.
John: if anything happened to lucy-
Nyla: Don't go there. If she is in trouble, the only way you are good to her is if you are focused solely on saving her, not playing worst-case scenarios.
we all dispersed and jackson and i headed by Armstrong. we searched for his name but all socials were gone. we had to search for any faked ideas and new killing grounds.

Lucy's POV
I woke up again, after passing out from the pain. caleb was standing there eating bacon
Caleb: Oh, hey. You're up. I'd offer you some, but it's better if your stomach's empty, you know, later. All the screaming tends to make you
he imitated a gagging sound
Lucy: Can- can i at least have some water
Caleb: of course, i'm not a monster
he walked over to the table and gave me some, i started drinking more faster
Caleb: ah- don't get greedy
he said pulling the water away from my lips. i'm still so thirsty, tired, it's hot, and boy would i rather be at work sitting in a shop talking to
Tim right now.
Lucy: Is this why you hit on me in that bar? Why you asked me out? So you could make me a victim?
Caleb: Oh. No, no. I see the confusion. You weren't the target. You were just a happy opportunity. I was there scoping out Armstrong. Honestly, I don't know what Rosalind sees in the guy. But who am I to judge? We all have our fetishes.
Lucy: Are you gonna bury me in Rosalind's third unmarked grave?
Caleb: I think so? I was gonna put Nora in there, but then your friend screwed that up.
Lucy: why are you doing this?
Caleb: You know, that's more of a second date question. And we're just not gonna get there. I'm sorry. Now, I got to get to it. I got a lot to do before I put you inside.
Lucy: Wait, wait, wait. Uh, why the tattoo? Is it some display of ownership? The ultimate control over another person, deciding when they die?
Caleb: No, it's not for me silly. It's for you. To force you to face the truth of your death. It's the gift of something we rarely get in life. Clarity.
Lucy: Did Rosalind teach you that?
i said trying to turn him on her and maybe, just maybe, get him to let me go
Caleb: No! That's mine.
Lucy: I just thought, Rosalind is your mentor, so-
Caleb: No, no, no. It's not like that. We're equals.
Lucy: Does she know that?
he stared at me and started to come closer
Caleb: You're good, Officer Chen. I'm gonna enjoy this. More than I thought I would.
he said with this evil smirk in his mouth. he walked away and i tried to get free from my restraints.
