"Well I have a bigger problem with her right now, I need to call you back." I said and didn't wait for an answer before hanging up. I put the phone down in the cup holder and finished the drive to the hospital. When I pulled up to the doors I got out and carried Spencer inside.

"Help, please!" I said and ran towards the nurse's station.

Once of the nurses came over with a stretcher and I placed Spencer on it. The nurse pushed her into a room and looked at me.

"What happened?" He asked me, I didn't say anything I just ripped open Spencer shirt and showed him.

"I think the stitches are infected, she didn't tell me about them and she passed out in my arms." I said.

"Okay we'll take care of her, what is her name?" The nurse asked just as the doctor walked in.

"Spencer" I answered and backed away so they could work on her.

The doctor and nurse worked quickly and in a half an hour Spencer was admitted to the hospital and had the infected stitches removed. The doctor wants to keep her over night to give her strong antibiotics to kill off whatever infection is left. I was super thankful when they told me. It could have been a lot worse if Spencer kept it from me any longer.

Spencer was asleep for most of the day as the drugs did there job. I called Amanda again to tell her that I'll be staying with Spencer overnight until the doctor clears her to go home. After I ended that call I pulled my burner phone out of my pocket and called Sophia back.

"So how is the little trouble maker?" She asked after she answered the phone.

"She'll live, what did you find out?" I asked wanting some answers.

"So Spencer Law is originally from Chicago, she was born there and lived there till she was 7 then she moved to Miami, Florida where she stayed till she went to NYU. There was no father on the birth certificate but she does have a younger half-sister named Santana, same mother different father. Mother is no longer living." Sophia said.

"Where is the girl now?" I asked.

"That I don't know, I haven't been able to find anything with her name on it recently. But that's not the reason I called about." Sophia said.

I heard some papers shuffling in the background. I looked up and saw that Spencer is still sleeping.

"The problem is is that she knows Joe." Sophia said.

"What are you talking about she knows Joe?" I asked.

"I looked at her picture from her school ID and thought she looked familiar so I did some digging and I found some surveillance photo's of them together. I can't tell what is going on in the pictures of what they are talking about but Joe has a smug look on his face while Spencer looks pissed." Sophia said.

"If you find anything else about her give me a call. I need some time to think about all of this." I said.

"Sure thing Vero." Sophia said and hung up the phone.

After the call I sunk into my chair even more. How the hell does this girl know Joe of all people? In the mists of my heavy thoughts I heard some rustling so I looked up from my hands and saw Spencer trying to get up.
