Trials, Tribulations and Triangles.-Chicago PD/Fire

Chapter 28 - Worst-case Scenario

Lexi pulled the screw driver out of Calvin's leg and enjoyed the scream of pain that escaped his lips. "I've said I'm sorry" Calvin said quietly. "What more do you want from me?" he cried as blood dribbled from his mouth.

"We're way past sorry" Lexi told him.

They had been in Kelly's boat house for twenty-four hours. It had taken six hours for Calvin to realise it wasn't a game, six hours to break him, then he had turned in to a quivering mess. Lexi had used numerous tools to torture Calvin. Screw drivers, pliers to pull off each of his nails, a knife to slice cuts in to his arm, a hammer on his hands. She couldn't deny it felt good to hear him scream, see him cry, hear him beg for his life.

"Please" Calvin pleaded spitting a mouthful of blood on the floor. "Please stop"

Lexi heard the burner phone ring, it sat on a table a few feet away. She turned to answer it even though Cam was stood closer to it, knowing it would be Hank. She walked two steps toward the table as Cam shouted her name in a warning tone, "LEX" Cam's warning made Lexi turn back around.

As she twisted to look at Calvin, he was on her, plunging a broken piece of metal in to her stomach. He was already weakened from the torture and Lexi was able to knock him to the floor easily, but it was too late the broken piece of boat or whatever it was, was embedded in her lower abdomen. Cam was on her feet and on top of Calvin knocking him out with a punch in less than a second.

Lexi looked down to see the metal sticking out of her. It was in deep. The phone was still ringing. Lexi walked to the table, holding the metal steady in her stomach. She found the phone and walked slowly outside to answer the call.

She leant against the outside wall of the boat house and answered the phone. "You came looking for me, right...Stop looking. You won't find me...Neither was taking Jay to look for me...Go home. I'll be back tomorrow, you can both be pissed at me then" Lexi ended the call. She leant against the boat house behind her, she breathed heavily for a moment looking up at the tree tops and blue sky. How did they not understand that this was something she had to do alone?

"Hank came looking for you?" Cam asked her poking her head round the door.

Lexi nodded "with Jay"

"Jay's the old but new boyfriend" Cam commented pretending to be confused.

Lexi rolled her eyes and laughed "it's not that hard to grasp Cam" Lexi knew her real name was Victoria but was so used to calling her Cam, it was strange to call her by any other name.

"Jay is the super hot Detective new boyfriend, Kelly is the smoking hot fireman ex-fiancé"

Lexi chuckled "Correct"

Cam looked down at the metal sticking out of Lexi's gut. "That doesn't look good"

"It doesn't feel good either" Lexi took a deep breath

"We should get that seen to"

"No" Lexi shook her head

"Lex" Cam began protesting "I don't want you bleeding out on me"

"Just patch me up" Lexi offered "then let's finish this, before Hank and Jay do actually find us" Lexi advised walking back in to the boat house.

"Or you bleed out" Cam remarked following her.

Lexi unlocked the door to her apartment from the street. She threw her bag at the bottom of the stairs and switched on the light. She tried lifting her leg to take the first step, but she couldn't, she was to weak, she put her hand to her wounded side and sat on the bottom step.
