Trapped
Chapter 1- The case
Gillian Foster walked into the office, hair tied in a small pony tail and wearing a black pencil skirt that hugged every curve and a sleeves purple top that had elegant ruffles toped of with matching black heels. She wore a big smile on her face like she had every day since her divorce. Her heels clicked as she walked and she beamed at Heidi, the receptionist.
"Morning Dr. Foster," Heidi said smiling.
"Morning Heidi," Gillian replied, smiling brightly and continued walking to her office. She pushed open the door and placed her bag on the floor by her desk. Out of it she grabbed a chocolate pudding, shut her bag and headed back out of her office to the kitchen.
She placed her pudding in the fridge, grinning and then headed back out where she promptly ran in to Cal Lightman. She slammed into him and stumbled. He grabbed her by the waist to steady her and she placed her hands on his shoulder to hold herself up. Gillian blushed red, smiling. Cal chuckled and grinned at her.
"Alright there love?" Cal asked, his accent beaming strong.
"Fine, Cal. Morning," Gillian said, smiling back, looking into his eyes. She realized that if she slipped her around his neck and pulled herself closer she would be able to kiss Cal. She mentally shook her head. This was not the time or place.
For weeks she had been having thoughts like this. She knew she always loved Cal but now divorced her temptation was rearing its ugly head and making it extremely difficult for her to focus. She let her hand drop, slightly running down his chest. He let go of her waist and she missed the contact.
"Gillian, there you are, finally got in," Eli Loker said, walking up to the too. He looked between the two and narrowed his eyes.
"Did I interrupt?" Loker asked. Gillian rolled her eyes and Cal glared at him.
"What can I help you with?' Gillian asked, focusing her attention on the younger employee of the Lightman Group.
"We got a case. It's out at the old bank building which is now being turned into housing," Eli said, handing Gillian the file. She flipped it open and quickly read the content.
"OK, you can be with me on this one. Let me just grab my bag and we can go," Gillian said. Eli nodded and headed back in the direction he came in.
"It's going to be a busy day. I'll see you later?' Gillian asked, turning back to Cal.
"Course love. If your back for lunch we'll get Thai," Cal said. Gillian beamed at him and he smiled back at her.
She briefly touched his arm as she walked back into the kitchen. He frowned and rolled his eyes when she came back out holding her chocolate pudding.
"How old are you?" Cal rhetorically asked.
Gillian childishly stuck her tongue out at him and headed to her office. Cal shook his head, chuckling slightly and headed to the viewing room where Torres was.
Gillian came out of her office, bag in hand, and met Eli at the elevator. The two walked to her car and she slid in behind the wheel.
"Road trip," Eli said and Gillian laughed as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"So did I interrupt a moment between you and Lightman?" Eli asked. Gillian whipped her head around to him and glared.
"You know you radical honesty is annoying sometimes," Gillian asked.
"Yes, I do and your deflecting," Loker said, grinning. Gillian rolled her eyes and looked back to the road.
"No, you didn't interrupt a moment. I ran into him, literally," Gillian said, smiling.
Eli nodded, but thought she was still hiding something. It was a good half an hour before they arrived at the old banking building. Construction workers were hard at work, busy demolishing the building.
"So what are we doing here exactly?" Gillian asked, as she pulled into a space to park.
"There was a threat against them demolishing this building and turning it into housing. They want us to determine if the threat is real," Loker said, looking out the window.
"What was the threat?" Gillian asked. Loker never got a chance to answer. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by an explosion. Both whipped their head around to look out the windshield and gasped as they saw the building go up flames, smoke and collapse. Not all of it fell down but was blasted out. Debris flew everywhere and headed in the direction of Gillian's car.
Loker grabbed Gillian and pushed her down and he laid his body onto of hers.
It was the loudest thing that either of them had ever heard. Glass shattered around them as bits of concrete hurtled into the car. It slammed and rocked the car. Gillian screamed and Loker shook above her. It was like thunder was rolling right outside their car. Gillian shut her eyes tightly and waited. Eventually she could hear nothing. Gently and carefully Loker lifted his head and looked around. Everything was pitch black. He could tell that the windscreen was gone and had been replaced by a large chunk of concrete. There was a small gap in the windscreen where Loker could see some light.
The front of the car had been crushed. Loker couldn't tell if the back had any damage. Slowly he lifted his body of Gillian and she gently looked up.
"Are you OK?" Loker asked her, looking into her frightened eyes. Blood slowly dripped down her face were a cut wept on her forehead.
"I think so," Gillian said slowly. Slowly she sat back up and gasped. There car was completely covered in debris. Her side of the car was dented in. If she had been sitting up it would of crushed her ribs. The front by her feet was also crushed down.
"I guess," Loker said in a shaky voice. "We know the threat was real and what it was."
"Yeah," Gillian said, with a shaky voice too.
Above the two dust had now cleared. Workers who had survived the explosion now stood around in awe and panic. Then everything happened. People started running around, barking orders and hurrying to safety. Gillian's car was only just visible beneath the rubble. The man they had gone to meet saw them pull up and saw them get buried. He swallowed and turned to the man beside him.
"Get me the Cal Lightman on the phone," He barked.
"Yes Mr. Carson," said the man beside him and hurried off. Mr. Carson ran a hand through his hair. This was going to be a long, stressful day.
