Elle Greenaway's POV

I'm in the ambulance beside my son. I'm holding his hand and holding back my tears. Jeremy is badly bruised and the EMT is trying to stop the hemorrhage from his abdomen.

"He's crashing down!" The EMT yells as we arrive at the hospital. 

Jeremy has no pulse anymore and the doctor that takes charge of him tries to resuscitate him. I run beside him till I get stopped before the OR.

"Ma'am, you're not allowed in this room," the doctor says.

I walk back to the waiting room and I let myself fall on the floor, crying hard. Derek runs to me.

"Shhh... It's okay. I got you. Shhh..."

"When I left him... He... He has no pulse!" I sob.

"He's gonna be fine. He's your son, he's as strong as you."

"But I'm not strong!" I cry, looking in Derek's eyes.

"Yes, you are."

He helps me to get up and to sit. I sit between JJ and Derek.

"Is there anyone you'd like to warn?" JJ asks.

"Like Jeremy's father?" Derek adds.

I tense as I hear this.

"What's wrong, Elle?" JJ asks, holding my hand.

"Matt, Jeremy's father, he..."

"What happened?"

I calm myself down before answering.

"I ran away from him. He abused me and my son for 3 years. I didn't call the police, I just ran away. I had to protect my son. Then I started having these strange calls from Mr. Scratch... He waited 2 years before kidnapping me... And now he's hurting everyone I love..."

I start to cry harder. I cannot stop anymore. My son is dying in the OR!
