"Mrs Florrick? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can." The ringing it Alicia's ears made the paramedics sound as though she was listening to him underwater. Alicia tried to focus putting all her effort into squeezing the mans hand which was placed in her own. However no matter how hard she tried she couldn't take control of her hand. Managing to take in a breath, albeit a shallow one, Alicia could taste the metallic blood that had slowly made its way down her cheek to lay to rest on her trembling lip.

"We need to get her out of the car now!" The paramedic, Nick, shouted as he took in the state of the woman who was drifting in and out of consciousness. The car was a complete wreckage, the lorry that had driven into the side of the Lexus made sure of that. Surveying the scene around him, the paramedic was unsure how the lawyer wasn't dead on arrival.

The sound of snapping metal could be heard as the firefighters pulled back the mangled rood prompting a stretcher to be slid in behind Alicia. Nick took a tight hold of her hand and squeezed it as he pushed the stretcher in the back of the ambulance set for Chicago General.

"Don't worry Mrs Florrick, we've got you now." Alicia could make out the mans voice as she tried to stay awake long enough to remember exactly how she nearly ended up at deaths door.

"Mr Florrick, I can assure you that your wife is in good hands." The doctor explained as Peter paced back and fore in the family waiting room. Zach and Grace were sat in the corner of the room, both still in their school uniforms. Resigning to the fact that no matter how much power he held in the political world he wasn't going to hear anything anytime soon on Alicia's surgery, Peter rubbed his face in frustration and took a deep breath before walking back over to sit with his children.

"I need to phone your Uncle Owen, I'll be right back." The broken tone that showed in their fathers voice was one which neither Zach or Grace had ever heard their father use. Peter had never cried in front of either of them before, he may have been close to it when he had to tell them about the scandal but he was a man of optimism and always found a way to turn everything positive. But not this time.

"Really? Again?" Diane turned in her seat across from Wills chair to see her law partner as he waltz into his office late for the 3rd time that week.

"Stay out of it." Will snapped as he placed his briefcase down on his desk, taking a seat on his work chair.

"It is my business when you're late more or less everyday, it doesn't impress our potential clients Will. I understand Alic-" Diane tried to reason with the younger lawyer but was rudely cut off.

"Don't even say her name. It has nothing to do with her."

"It does! You really think I believe that you're with that blonde bimbo because you think she could be a wife one day? Don't insult me Will. I understand Alicia meant a great deal to you but you need to stop taking it out on others!" Diane was past being nice to Will as she lay it on thick.

"Get out!" Will shouted as he rose from his chair, pointing at the glass door he had just walked in from. Diane just shook her head in disappointment as she continued to stare at him in surprise at his outburst. The staring match was cut off as the door was swung open to reveal an obviously distressed Kalinda with tears running down her face.

"Kalinda?" Wills voice conveyed his confusion as to why the always put together PI was so shaken.

"She's been in an accident." Kalinda struggled to get the words to come out of her mouth past the large lump that resided in her throat.

"Who has?" Diane questioned as she quickly made her way to stand next to Kalinda before her legs gave out from under herself. Kalinda answered the older woman as she turned to face Will, locking eyes with the concerned lawyer who knew what was coming next.

"Alicia."
