The Motherboard (The Blacklist x Scorpion)

34. Alice Jane

Abandoned Warehouse, 13.35

"Morgan!" It's too late for Walter to stop her, blood already on her face and in a glimpse, he got tears on his eyes. He knows Laila will never survive, but he didn't think it would be on Morgan's hand. Her eyes and her cold face really terrified him to the point he step back and frozen. Red goes and take off the gun from Morgan's hand, she doesn't fight it and just walk away. "I wish you didn't do it. My hands are already bloody but you.. you didn't. Now you do."
"I don't care dad. I lose everything because of her." She looks down and then looks at both Reddington and Walter. "Feel free to see me as a monster. I don't mind."

Before she could reach the door, she collapsed, resulting in Reddington rushed to help her while Walter still couldn't believe what he saw earlier. "O'Brien! Walter!" He doesn't seem to hear Reddington, not before Dembe wakes him up. "Walter. We need to bring her out. She needs doctor."
"Doctor?"
"The gun. She'd been shot."
"Wait, what? Who shot...." He then looks at Laila's hand. She did shot Morgan right before she shot her on the head. It was almost at the same time that they think it was only Morgan who pulled the trigger. Realizing what just happened, he rushed to help Red to bring her to the car.

She had a gunshot wound on her upper abdomen and lost a lot of blood. She barely breathing normally. Walter tries to slow down the bleeding while Reddington calls out his emergency team through Mr. Kaplan. "What are you doing? She needs hospital!" Walter realized they just drive passed a hospital but Dembe didn't make a stop. "No. She just shot someone and now got a bullet just below her chest. No, we can't go to any hospital right now. I got a team." He assured Walter to stick to his plan to avoid conviction on Morgan. "Okay. Whatever you think the best."

At one moment, her lungs start to fill with blood and she start to coughing. Blood droplets are coming out from it. "Morgan. Hang on. We will get you to..." Before Walter could finish his sentence, she hold his hand. "I'm sorry. I killed her. I can't help myself."
"Don't say anything. Okay? Save if for later. We got plenty to be talked about. You hear me?"

They rushed in and they keep her under heavy medication to prevent her from choking by her own blood. Not long after, a doctor comes out with a very frustrated face. "She's in a very bad shape. The bleeding won't stop. Did she take any medication or anticoagulant lately?"
"Yes. After her miscarriage, she had to take them regularly. She got um.. condition."
"We need something to seal her wound, so we can stop the bleeding. It's a blood pool inside." Reddington becomes very worry about her condition after talk with the doctor and almost lose his mind.

"Raymond I need your gun."
"What?"
"I said I need it. Call my team. We're gonna fix her up." There are lights on Walter's eyes as he said it, and it brings Reddington's faith back. "Dembe call Toby. Sly and Ms. Quinn. We need them here."

It's been more than an hour but all that he can do is watching them busy doing whatever inside. They seems like having a complicated procedure even all the doctors can't understand. "She's gonna make it Raymond. They're the best team we could ever have."
"I know. It's just something that she said to me. This whole... tragedy was start with me trying to find her. Walter was right, like it or not, I put her under my chain. Drag her around and brought misery to her and to people around her."

"She's fine." Toby comes out of the room and bring the news to both Red and Dembe. For a moment, his face lights up as he stands up. "Can I see her?"
"Yes. We will give you times, I will tell Cabe about what happened. He's quite upset about this whole mess. We're leaving in 5 minutes, but I don't think Walter would leave her side."
"I know. I can see that." He see Walter's eyes nailed on her face as he hold her hands. After Happy, Sly and Toby leave the room, Reddington turns to Dembe, "Dembe, you can walk Scorpion to the front door. Make sure no one is following them."
"Okay Raymond."

Red walks into the room and Walter doesn't even turn his face. "O'Brien."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for what happened. I know you love Laila and.."
"I love both of them. And they're hurting each other. I don't know anyone who's more sorry than me Raymond." There is this massive pain in Walter's eyes. "I'm about to marry Laila, this woman that I thought would be the best choice for my life. But she betrayed me, and the person who I care the most. The person who directly put us together. The person that ironically I also love so much but I could never approach. Because she's your daughter. She had this life, with her brand new husband, that was killed because of what Laila has done. I feel like I lost both of them."
"You haven't lost Morgan."
"You don't understand. I'm dying to be with her, but she said herself that we couldn't be together. You know why? Because she thought she was a danger to me. Guess what? Turns out I am the danger for her. My fiance was the reason she lost Patrick and her unborn child."
"That's not your fault."
"Is it? She used my equipment. Something that I should never given the access outside my team. Of course it's my fault. And because of that, Laila is dead and Morgan.... she's more likely will never recovered. She would heal physically, but not her soul."
"There is something you can do for her."
"And what is that?"
"Whoever after her, is after the motherboard. You could help me to extract it."
"Wait, you can't do that without killing her."
"Yet the very same organization who was after her is almost perfecting the technology. You are above genius. With the help of my people, ny resources, and your team, we can beat them."
