Liz's P.O.V
"Let me answer it.Please.You don't trust me.I understand.But if she found out,I'm all she has.Okay."I said pleadingly.
A thought.A thought can get even Elizabeth freakin' Steele to plead.
Linda would be devastated.Losing her husband and now her only son to whatever she has been told might make her do things.Hurt herself for one.
And it will all be on me.Matt dying and Linda.
His voice broke my chain of thoughts and I'm glad it did.
"Okay.But put it on speaker."He said.
I took a deep breath before picking up,knowing I'm gonna have to act and well this time.
"Linda?Are you okay?What happened?Did something happen?Why are you calling me this late?You're scaring me."I said it almost in a breath as if I was flustered.
But somewhere inside I was.And I was hoping she's just say that she ran out of gas and is stuck somewhere or something and tell me that Matt is fine.But instead she just sobbed on the phone.
"Hello?Linda?You're scaring me."I said after a while.
"I'm fine.It's Matt.He..."She began sobbing.
"Linda?Is Matt okay?"I asked hoping for a better truth.A better reality.
"No,he's not.Liz,he is dead."
And she broke down.
I knew Matt was dead.I'd heard it.But I never let it sink in.Now it was.
I shook the horrible feeling tugging at me and soon I was numb again.
Somebody shook me and I looked up.It was Chase.
"....Liz,darling?Elizabeth?"Linda was calling out.
"I'm here."I said in a raspy voice.
"It's okay.We are gonna be okay.He died a hero.My son died a hero.He died saving this girl from being mugged.It was a mugging gone wrong."She said and sniffed.
"You should be proud of him.Maybe this fact might make it easier."I said clearing my throat.
"I need you,Liz.I don't think I can stay alone tonight."She sniffed.
"Okay."I said motionlessly.
"I'm at the city morgue.They called me in to identify him.My son.."And she sobbed a bit more.
"I'll be right there."I said immediately.
"I know you don't do this.You are brave.You are strong.And I know that you loved him as much as I did.So let go of it.Let go,sweetie.You'll feel better."She said through the phone.
By now I could feel all three pairs of eyes at me.Waiting for me.To say something.To do something.
"I'll be there,Linda."I said gritting me teeth.
"Okay."She said and sighed.
I hung up the phone.
All three of them,now seated were looking at me intently.
"I have to go,please."I said in monotone.
"Only on one condition,I come with."Sebastian said.
"Ok-"He cut me off and said,"Two,actually.Blindfolded."
I nodded.
"Then let's go."I said.
