I Can See You Now
Chapter 7
"Who the hell are you?" Callie shouted the redhead standing in front of her equally armed.
"Who the hell are YOU?" The intruder asked back. Funny, the redhead already knew exactly who the woman was.
"I'm a police officer, so I recommend you get your gun down and bring your hands to your head now." Callie ordered without blinking.
"Where's Arizona?"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Callie was losing patience.
"What's going on out here?" Arizona walk in the room fully clothed and the furrow between her eyebrows. "Somebody better start saying something." She raised her voice this time. She, of course, need to follow the voices.
"It's me, Arizona. Your father asked me to come here after you talk to him." The redhead was the first to break the awkward silence.
"I told my father that I would meet with him later, April. That 'later', didn't mean now!" Callie frowned even more due to two specific things, first she had no idea what was going on between the redhead still pointing her gun at her and her girlfriend and second, Callie had never seen Arizona like this. So irritated and angry.
"You know better than anyone how the Colonel is." April said with disdain.
"I don't give a crap how my father is." Callie's eyes widened. Since she met the woman, she had never heard a bad word out of the mouth of the blonde and now is practically swearing against her father. That's weird. Callie thought the blonde and her father had a very good relationship. "I asked him to give me time, why can he not do something as simple as that."
"Why don't you talk to him and let me out of this? I have enough to get my hands in this mess." April groaned.
"Don't push it, Kepner and stop complaining so much, you'd think that so many years in the Militia would make you hard." Arizona said with annoyance.
"Arizona?" Callie finally found a place to leave her bewilderment with this situation and say something.
"Oh right, you're still here."
"What?" Callie snorted. "What's that supposed to mean? You just forgot that I left your room 10 minutes ago before all this weird conversation?" Callie said in disbelief. "And can you tell your friend or whatever to stop pointing me with her damn gun?" She shout angrily staring at the redhead's dead eyes.
"I will if you do." April said.
"Both of you will drop the gun and put them on the coffee table now." Arizona ordered the two women.
April and Callie did what they were told and placed the guns in the coffee table just steps from where Arizona was standing.
"Anybody want to tell me what's going on now?" Callie asked quickly.
"You haven't told her yet?" April asked the blonde in disbelief.
"Tell me what?" Callie looked so confused.
"Dear, I think you better get pants on first, I can't take you anywhere like that. That's inhuman." April continued.
"April, shut the fuck up!" Arizona shouted again.
"Why are you going to take me somewhere?" Callie straightened up. This woman didn't give her a good feeling. "Arizona?" She tried this time.
"Why the fuck were you pointing at her, Abril? What if she instinctively had shot you?" Arizona ignored Callie in the conversation.
Which angered over the brunette. "Will you tell me the fuck is going on? I feel like in the twilight zone or something."
"Why don't you better fucking shut up?" Arizona screamed at the woman and now she raised the gun and pointed it at the brunette.
Callie instinctively scared. "What on earth are you doing?"
"It's not obvious, I'm trying to get you to shut up, that way I can go back to review the plan." Arizona said as she unlocked the gun, revealing that she was serious.
"Arizona, you're scaring me." Callie spoke with sincerity. "What are you doing?"
April with a smile on her thin lips, only to see the scene as if it were a comedy movie.
"You really thought I would never know the truth about you?" Arizona scoffed and her grip on the gun tightened. As long as she continued hearing Callie's voice, she would know where to shoot. She had trained very well her ears. "I'm blind, not stupid, Callie."
"I still don't understand what this is." Callie made a mental note to the way Arizona cocks her head. It was obvious that the blonde guides herself by the voices to know where to point the gun. "And I know you're not stupid, Arizona. Just please explain why you're suddenly so angry and pointing at me with my own gun." Her voice was soft, trying to calm the blonde somehow.
"Oh but you do think I'm stupid, Callie, otherwise you would have never approached me more than you should." Arizona gave a mocking laugh. "You thought you could fool the blind and stupid blonde who has memory problems, then let me be clear with you, I remember everything now!"
April laughed. "I should bring popcorn."
"Shut up, Kepner, before I forget you work for my father and end up with a bullet in the chest."
"You wouldn't know where my chest is -"
"Want to find out?" Arizona said pouting this time to where the voice of the redhead was heard. "I am a Marin's daughter and I was the sister of a sergeant, April. Believe me, I know how and where to shoot without needing my eyes."
"Okay, okay cowgirl, you can re-point your girlfriend again." April rose hands in surrender, even if Arizona couldn't see it.
Callie hadn't moved a muscle, she was trying to concentrate enough to recreate an escape plan, but then she was really interested in where this behavior of her normally sweet, adorable and friendly girlfriend comes.
"Arizona?" It was stupid, she knows, draw the attention of the armed woman on her again, but she really just wants to know. "Please tell me. I don't understand a word of what you say."
"I'm talking about my brother, Callie!" Arizona shouted and turned her gun where Callie's voice was heard. "I'm talking about the accident that you provoked by going to speeding and intoxicated. I'm talking about how, without any resentment, you ran away from the place that night with my dead brother beside me and I with pieces of glass in my eyes, I'm talking about how you had the nerve to go to the hospital days after that to see me and even kiss me, like I was some kind of pathetic abandoned girl who needs your pity." Arizona spoke all her frustrations to the brunette and she could feel her body warming the wrath of her own words. "I know everything about what you did, Callie Torres."
Callie closed her eyes and took a deep breath now she was panicked. She never imagined that this day would come. She was actually afraid that this day would ever come and now it's here. Of course she was panicked. "Please, please ... let me explain -" She was cut off though.
"You thought I wouldn't notice?" Arizona scoffed out. "When we first met I said I was very good with the voices, I told you that your voice was familiar to me, I just couldn't put a finger on it." She started. "And then you kissed me and I swear I felt that spark again, I liked it Callie, I really did, but your kisses reminded me of someone else, like I had kissed before. It's ridiculous I know, how do you know the specific way that you kiss someone, right? And after all that time." Arizona's distant eyes filled with tears. "It turns out that you had been the last person who kissed me and kissed me like that and since I couldn't see your face back then, I decided to keep the memory of your kiss and now ... now ..." She couldn't finish.
"So you used me?" Callie asked softly and stepped up to the blonde. "You knew who I was and yet you kept pretending to want to be with me? So you can now do what, kill me?" She moved closer and closer to the woman.
April peered the Latina, thinking in her head that if Callie gets any closer to Arizona it's most likely she will remove the weapon from the blonde and then everything would go to hell.
"Don't come any closer or I swear to God I'll shoot." Arizona could feel Callie's voice and presence closer to her. "And I won't kill you, I'm not a murderer. I'm not like you!" She reproached.
"So what's do you intend to do with me?" Callie stopped right in front of the blonde. "Please give me a chance to -"
"There are no chances for you. I suggest that you put your pants on now." Arizona raised her gun again now touching the Latina's chest, letting her know that this wasn't a joke, this was happening here and now.
Two months later.
Callie blinked as she remembered. There wasn't a day she didn't remember all that. There were no days in which the brunette couldn't think about that and the blonde that changed her life forever.
"Callie, you're staring again." Meredith said as digging in the box of donuts. "Why don't you go talk to her, it's been months and you keep doing this… and dragging me into this with you." The dirty blond suggested. Of course she only knew the breaking-up part of the story.
"I'm not gonna do that. She made it quite clear that she doesn't want me anymore." Callie said sadly. "That doesn't mean I can't see her, though." Callie's eyes never stop staring at the woman sitting on the bench in the local park where they first met. It was a rare sunny afternoon in Seattle and Callie had spent so much time spying on the blonde that she knew this was a routine for the woman. So she turned it into a routine also.
"Why did you guys broke up, anyway? You never told me." Meredith looked at her partner.
"There's nothing to say."
"Oh really, then why every day at the same time we are parked here to look at her reading a book? Just for the record, I think you two were great together - "
"Grey! There is nothing to say, things happen - "
"What things?"
"You want to drop it, please?" Callie asked irritated and turned her eyes to the woman sitting with fingers along the Braille reading.
After a few minutes of being there a man came to the blonde and sat down next to her. Callie frowned. She had never seen this man before and she was concerned for Arizona's safety. Meredith could see this.
"Easy, Callie. She seems to know this man." Meredith put her hand on the biceps of her partner. "She is smiling, you see." She pointed to the blonde who actually had a big smile on her face.
But then the young man with black beard pointed to the patrol car and Arizona looked right at them.
Callie's blood froze when she saw the distant eyes and dull look in her direction. She knew she was in trouble. "And now she knows we're here." Callie paled.
"She has no way of knowing it's us, there's hundreds of officers throughout the city, Callie." Meredith chuckled.
"Believe me Grey, she knows I'm here and now she's finally going to kill me." Callie said as her eyes remained in touch to the distant and furious blue eyes.
