Chapter Three
I stand by the window for about ten minutes before I see the flashing blue and red lights pull up behind Sadie's car. Even though I can't here them talking I know what is going on. Sadie shows them her drivers license, the police tell her about the phone call from my 'next-door neighbor', and then they ask her leave which she does without any question. Once Sadie is gone I go back to the couch and watch the second half of the Seattle Seahawks games. During the commercial breaks I get up and go to the window to make sure that Sadie hasn't come back, and she hasn't. After the game I turn off the lights and TV and go upstairs to bed.
This time when my head hits the pillow I'm able to go to sleep. I fall into a dreamless sleep and I don't wake up until I hear the sound of a lower roar coming from Mark who is pretending to be a dinosaur. His roar is followed by a squeal from Sofia and bark from Roxie. I hear Sofia and Roxie's tiny footsteps run from the living room to the formal dining room and then back to the living room. Mark's loud stomping and another roar follow their footsteps as he chases them throughout the house.
They are back in the living room when I hear Callie's footsteps go from the kitchen to the living room. "Sofia Sloan and Markus Everett for the last time keep it down because mommy is still sleeping." Callie scolds them in a low whisper.
"Sorry," they say in unison.
I hear them get up and go downstairs to the basement where they can play and be a little louder. I look over to my nightstand and see that it is 7:30 a.m.; I don't have to be at work until noon so Callie must have turned off my alarm to let me sleep in. I roll over to my left side and grab Callie's pillow and cuddle with it for a few minutes before I fall back a sleep.
I'm asleep for another hour when I'm awaken by the smell of bacon. Mmm, I love bacon. I get up out of bed and make my way downstairs. Sofia, Roxie and Mark are still in basement playing, while Callie and Julia are in the kitchen. Julia is sitting at the breakfast bar on the other side of the stove, and Callie is making breakfast.
"Morning, Arizona" Julia says with a smile as she takes a sip of her coffee.
I give her a sleepy smile before I look over to Callie.
"Morning honey," she says to me.
"Bacon," I say in low raspy voice.
Callie chuckles to herself as she turns around to grab a plate filled with bacon. She turns to face and extends the plate towards me. "Only two pieces."
My smile grows wider as I take two pieces. I go to sit next to Julia but Callie stops me.
"Did you forget something?"
I turn back around to face Callie. I walk up to her and give her kiss, "Good morning and thank you."
"You can stay if you keep your hands to yourself." Callie points to the chair next to Julia.
I take a seat next to Julia and watch as Callie makes French toast, eggs and bacon for breakfast. Julia and I set the table while Callie goes to the basement to get Mark, Sofia and Roxie.
"Smells delicious, Cal" Mark says as the five us take our usual seats.
We get our plates of food and start to eat, "so you guys excited for tomorrow? It's your first ultrasound." Mark says with a somewhat stuffed mouth.
"I can't wait," Callie says with a smile as she looks over to me. I shake my head agreeing with her as I smile back. "I can't wait to see our little girl."
I tilt my head to side, "I'm sorry, what?"
"We're going to have to another girl." Callie says, "I can tell."
"I feel like it's going to a boy." I correct.
"Really, I'm the only carrying the child. I would think that my feeling goes a longer way than yours."
"Ladies, let's not get into a pointless fight about the gender. Let's make a bet on it. If Callie is right and it's a girl Callie gets to name her, and if Arizona is right and it's a boy she gets to name him."
"I'm fine with that," I say as I go from looking at Mark to looking at Callie.
"Ok," Callie agrees.
After our bet we have nothing but small chitchat for a little while. After breakfast Callie and I clean the table while Julia and Mark sit at the table talking with Sofia.
"So Sof, what do you want to do today?" Mark asks.
"I want to go to the pier, with you and Lexie and Roxie again."
Julia's eyes go wide and Mark start to blush as Sofia spills the beans about him and Lexie hanging out when Julia isn't round.
"Lexie misses her and wants to see her." Mark stammers as he looks over to Julia.
"I'm going to go take a shower." I quickly turn around and go upstairs. I don't need to add the Mark, Julia and Lexie love triangle to my lists of problems right now.
When I'm done, I walk downstairs just in time to see Sofia, Roxie and Mark leave. I say goodbye to the three of them before I walk into the living room. Julia looks upset and Callie doesn't know what to do.
"I need to get going before I'm late for work," Julia says in a soft voice.
"Yeah, us too" Callie whispers.
We are at the garage door when Julia turns around to face us, well Callie mostly.
"You're his best friend, is he cheating on me with Lexie?"
Both women are quiet; Julia is bracing herself for the answer while Callie is too stunned to say anything. Finally after a few minutes Callie clears her throat.
"No,"
She's lying.
"They spend time with each other only when Sofia is around. Lexie does miss Sofia and she loves being around Sofia as well as Zola."
There's more to this story, but like I said earlier I've got bigger problems of my own and I don't have the time for this drama.
Julia takes Callie's bullshit answer and the three of us leave the house to go to work.
"Can we stop at the bookstore before we go to hospital? They just got a book that I pre order this morning." Callie asks.
"Yeah no problem." I say with a smile.
The bookstore that Callie is talking about is Books a Million which is down the street from us. With the bookstore being so close and police patrolling the neighborhood I know Sadie is nowhere to be found which is good for me.
While Callie goes to talk to the clerk, I find my way to the magazine rack. I scan the science and technology section before I find a forensic magazine that can help me with a problem.
I'm able to make my purchase before Callie, so by the time that she is done I have hidden the magazine by the drivers seat. We meet by the car before we go into the hospital. After we get to work and get change into our scrubs we go our separate ways.
I'm standing at the main nurses station on the main floor looking over a file when Polly comes and stands right next to me. "Dr. Robbins, can I call you Arizona?"
"No,"
"Arizona…"
I swear I'm about to stab this bitch in the throat.
Polly talks for another 2 minutes about how grateful she is about me letting her in the program at such short notice. Like I really had a choice.
"What do you want, Polly?" I cut her off, and just glare at her out of the corner of my eye.
"I was hoping to be on her service all day and night."
I turn my head to meet her gaze. I open my mouth to say something but Alex, Morgan and Jo come up to the nurse's station.
"You must be Polly Preston," Alex says with a fake smile and forced handshake. "I'm Dr. Alex Karev the other fellow." Alex glares at me for a brief second. "Since your new here you need to get caught up with all the cases upstairs."
Alex puts 6 charts in front of her. "These are my patients," he puts down 3 more charts. "These are Morgan's patients," 1 more chart is placed on the stack, "and that is Jo's. You have until the end of the day to know all of those charts by heart, and you can trust that I will quiz you on them." Alex gives another fake smile before he and his entourage leaves.
Polly goes from looking at the charts to looking at me. "I can trust that you will take care of this for me."
"Mmm, lesson one. Patients come first." I say with a smile.
"Do I need to remind you of the evidence I have against you?" She whispers as she steps closer to me.
"You're the one who wanted to learn from me. The more you prolong the memorizing of those chart the more you prolong our field trip after work."
Polly just huffs as she takes her 10 charts and walks away.
"So if you don't like Polly, why did you hire her?" Addison says from my right. "And don't tell me it's because you need more help. You and Alex pretty much run that department by yourselves."
"Looks can be deceiving, Addison." I say as I turn around to face her. "According to U.S. News we are the second best Pediatrics Hospital in the country next to John Hopkins. We are starting to get really busy."
"I'll accept that answer for now, but I need your help." Addison places a chart between us. "I have a sixteen year girl that is 5 mouths pregnant and since last night she has had 4 seizures."
I take a moment and look at the chart. "She has had the usual pregnancy problems," Addison says. "Backache, morning sickness, and constipation. But last week her feet and hands started to swell up and her blood pressure has started to raise."
"She has Toxemia," I say as I look over to Addison.
"Ok, is there anything we can do because at this rate she going to kill herself and the baby."
I shake my head no, "the best I can do is try to keep her seizures at bay as much as possible. I can't fully treat her for Toxemia until the baby is born. If the seizures don't stop by the end of tomorrow you're going to have to do a c section."
"Do you want to take a look at her to see if there is anything you can do to stop the seizures?"
"Yeah, I could take a look." I say as we both turn around to go upstairs to peds.
When we turn around we see Teddy and Henry walking inside the hospital holding hands. Teddy and Henry have been dating for the past 2 mouths, and every time Addison sees the two of them together she gets upset and jealous. Every time Henry comes over for Taco Tuesdays Addison always seems to be busy and has to miss it.
"Dr. Robbins, you are just the person I wanted to see." Henry says with a smile on his face.
"The police report for your rape case, I completely forgot. I have been so busy lately, I will have it to you by the end of the day." I reply back.
"It's ok, but you won't be giving it to me. You'll be giving it to special agent Bonner because I'm no longer working on the case. I have been moved to Puget Sound Butcher case."
"Oh, I guess they need all hands on deck." I say with a half smile.
"Yeah, and plus I have an 97% solve rate. So were going to find this guy."
97% solve rate, that's not good. I need to find a way to get into that 3%. "Ok, I will have my report ready for special agent Bonner by the end of the day. If you would excuse Addison and I we need to get upstairs for consult." I say as Addison and I say goodbye and go upstairs to peds.
Addison and I spend the next four hours running test and getting her patient on the proper treatment. When we are finished it is time for me to take my first break. I go downstairs to the cafeteria and grab a premade Tuna sandwich, chips and a bottle of water. I take my items and go upstairs to my office.
When I get to my office I take out the magazine that I bought this morning and start to read it as I eat. I'm in the middle of reading an article about forging fingerprints with my feet up on my desk when there is a knock at my door.
It is only one knock, and soon after the knock the door opens to reveal Teddy. Right as Teddy opens the door. I take my feet off my desk and quickly put the magazine in my drawer. However, I'm not quick enough because as soon as Teddy closes the door she studies me for a moment.
She doesn't say anything to me as she walks over to my desk and opens the top drawer. She grabs the magazine and closes the drawer before she takes a seat right across from me.
"DNA evidence can be fabricated and planted at crimes scenes" Teddy reads the main title on the front page of the magazine. She looks from the magazine and looks right at me. "What are you up to?"
A random fact that I found online said that 70% of women ask questions in which they already know the answer to, so it would be pointless for me to lie to her. "I think it's pretty self explanatory."
"Who are you are you planning on framing?"
"Sadie," is all I say to her.
We are quiet for a few minutes. "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"I don't have any other options right now." I reply back.
Teddy shakes her head and throws the magazine back on my desk before she leans back in her chair. "Let's say you pull this off, what do you think will happen?"
I just shrug at her.
"You shouldn't do it for one simple reason. It will be easier for you to keep an eye on her if she still works at the hospital." Teddy starts. "You know that from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Sunday she is here in this hospital working. If you plant evidence Owen is going to fire her and then she will be out on the streets doing god know what to try and bring you down. Breaking into your house, your car, I wouldn't put it past her to break into Sofia's daycare. Do you really want that to happen?"
"No," I say in a soft whisper. "But if people think she is the Puget Sound Butcher, the police will be watching her like hawk. Worst case scenario the police will think I'm her next victim."
"True, and then you'll have a police escort following you around. We both know why your framing Sadie, you want to kill again. Can't really kill anyone with the police following you around can you?"
"I can lose a police escort." I say with a cocky smile.
"A police escort, yes, but my boyfriend Henry, no. When Henry finds out that you could be the next victim he will be the one to watch you and trust me when I say there is no losing him." Teddy warns.
I take moment to think about Teddy's words, but another knock on the door breaks me from my thoughts. There are 4 knocks on my door and after the fourth knock the door opens to reveal a tall man with a dark completion wearing a grey pin stripe suit. "Oh my sorry I didn't mean to interpret." He says before he turns to the leave, he is about to close the door when Teddy stops him.
"No its ok, I have to leave right now anyways." Teddy looks at him for a brief second before she looks back at me.
I smile at Teddy and then smile at the man before I take the magazine and put it back into my drawer, the bottom one that is always locked.
"Sorry to drop by unannounced," he says as he and Teddy switch places. "I'm Luther William Glenn the third." He extends his hand out for a handshake.
Luther Glenn is the best attorney in the Seattle Metro area, and for some reason he wants to talk to me. I don't know how I should be feeling about this.
"I'm here on behalf of my clients, Mary and Daniel Velti. Their son, Joseph, was hit by a drunk driver."
"Yes, I remember. He was in pretty bad shape when he came in. We tried everything that we could to save him."
"I know," he shakes his head lightly. "Mr. and Mrs. Velti are pressing charges against the driver, Derek Osterloh. It would seem that his drinking and driving wasn't a one-time thing. He has done this several times in different states."
"Wow, is there anything I can do to help?"
"We would like you to testify against him, if you wouldn't mind."
"That is not a problem, just tell me when and where I have to be."
Before Luther can say anything else my pager is going off. It's a 911 from Addison. "I'm sorry but I have an emergency. Here's my card just call me when you need me and I will be more than willing to help." I hand him my card as we both leave my office.
"Thanks, I'll call you sometime next week." He says to me before I take off running down the hall.
Addison's 16-year-old patient, Courtney Adams, had another seizure and this time it knocked into a coma as well as collapse one of her lungs. Her health along with the health of her unborn baby is in danger so Addison, Teddy and I take her to surgery.
Her surgery is about 2 in half hours, once Addison got the baby out she left with the child into another OR leaving Teddy and I alone with Courtney. Once Teddy takes care of her lung we go to scrub out. We are in the middle of scrubbing out when Teddy looks around to make sure that we are alone.
"I still think framing Sadie is like playing fire, she will burn you." Teddy starts. "I know you want Sadie off your back so you can do your hobby in peace. That is why I'm letting you know that Sadie is going to be out of town this weekend, she'll be in New York to be exact. Owen is making her go to some medical lawyer convention, she leaves tonight and she is going with another lawyer from the hospital, Chris Van Ness, she can't skip without Owen finding out." Teddy turns off the water and dries her hands. "You're welcome in advance." Teddy says before she leaves the room.
I just smile at her while she leaves. After I dry I my hands I go upstairs to the peds floor, and go to the nurse's station. I know that if I go into my office Sadie's coffee cup and that forensic magazine will do nothing but distract me, and I need to fill out my police report for special agent Bonner.
It takes me an hour to fill out the report. Once it is completed I give him the report on my way to the cafeteria for dinner. I get chicken tenders, fries and bottle of Dr. Pepper and just like lunch I take it upstairs to my office.
With my dinner I start to do a more in depth background check on Eric. He lives in an apartment building in downtown Seattle. He does 12-hour EMT shifts during the day and during nights on the weekend. He is also taking classes at the University of Washington. Looks like tonight he has a 12-hour shift. It's going on 8:30, and my shift is over in 30 minutes. I need to find an excuse to take the car for an hour or two.
I'm in the process of writing down his address when April knocks on my door while standing in the doorway. I don't saying anything to her and just look at her.
"Um your wife just got called into an emergency surgery and it will take an hour or two. You don't have to worry about Sofia and Roxie because they are spending the weekend with Mark and she will get a ride from Dr. Montgomery or she will call you when she is finished."
"Ok," is all I say to her.
April smiles at me before she leaves the doorway. Luck seems to be on my side today. I do rounds and some quick paperwork to fill up the last thirty minutes of my shift. Once my shift is over I go take a shower and change into my favorite outfit. My black long sleeve shirt, black jeans and black converse. You have no idea how much I have missed dressing like this.
Eric lives at Tower 801, he has a studio apartment on the 7th floor. There is little to no security so breaking into his apartment is easy. When I step foot into his apartment I can see that I won't be here long. When I close the door behind me I'm already standing in his living room. Straight ahead of me is his kitchen. There is a wall that is in middle of living that his couch is up against. Above the couch is a bookcase filled with DVDs most of them porn, a lot of his porn collection has something to do with gangbanging or rape. He has a few regular movies and a few books. There is a door opening on either side of the of wall but there is no door, its just an opening. It leads to his bedroom. He has a low to the ground queen size bed with black silk sheets. Across from his bed is a giant mirror that also doubles as his closet. On the left side of his bed is a door that leads to his bathroom.
It takes me two hours to come up empty handed. The moment I first stepped foot into his apartment I knew it wasn't the place where he rapes and kills his victims, and he doesn't keep any record of the actual place that he uses. Not only is Eric bold he is smart as well. Killing him is going to be a lot of fun for me.
I'm about to call it quiets when his house phone starts to ring. For some reason I feel the need to stay behind and listen to the voicemail that he is about to receive.
There is a loud beep before a women's voice, I would say somewhere in the mid to late twenties fills the room. "Hey Eric it's me Sarah Fellows from the bar last week. I know we have been trying to get to that date we set up, but I have to cancel. I have to go to Florida on a business trip and won't be back until next Friday. Maybe you can show me the famous Heidelberg Brewery next Saturday or Sunday." Sarah pauses for a moment, "ok well call me back when you get this so we can set up another time. Talk to you later, bye."
I'm still standing in the living room when Sarah hangs up the phone. Heidelberg Brewery is an abandoned beer brewing warehouse that closed 10 years ago. It's about an hour away from Seattle just outside of Tacoma in the Mount Rainier National Park. I'm willing to bet that that is where he takes his victims so he can rape and kill them in peace. That place would make sense because all of his victims were found in the park and Tacoma's hospital is only a level 3 trauma center so most of their trauma's come to Seattle Grace since we are a level 1 trauma center.
I have to go check out this Heidelberg Brewery, but I don't know when. My window of opportunity is small, seeing how I still have to deal with Sadie and I also have to deal with fact that Callie and I only have one car at the moment.
Right as I leave the apartment my phone starts to vibrate. I get out my phone and look at the screen, "hey you." I say with a smile on my face.
"Hey, I know you're probably at home but do you think you could come and pick Teddy and me up?" Callie asks.
"No problem, I was actually running a few errands so I should be there in about ten minutes."
"Ok, we'll see you then. Love you." Callie says.
"Love you too." I reply back with a smile as I hang up the phone.
It takes me ten minutes to get to the hospital, I pull up to the entrance and wait for a few minutes before both doors on the right side of the car open up as Callie and Teddy get into the car.
Callie just smiles at me before she leans over and kisses me on the cheek. "Thanks," she whispers.
The drive to Teddy's takes a little longer than usual because there was an accident so we are stuck in a little bit of traffic. "So, guess whose going car shopping tomorrow?" Callie says to break up the silence.
"Who?" I ask.
"You and Teddy," Callie says with a smile.
Seeing how no one is moving I snap my head over to face her. "What?"
"After our ultrasound tomorrow morning you and Teddy are going to buy new cars. I can't take being a one car household."
I look back to Teddy who just shrugs and lips 'I'm sorry' to me. I just shake my head at her before I look back over to Callie. "Cal, tomorrow after our ultrasound I have plans. I have to go to Ta…"
"I don't care, tomorrow afternoon you and Teddy are car shopping. Don't come into my house without another car." Callie's voice starts to rise and leaves some room for argument, but she's looking at me daring me to say something. Looks like Callie's hormones have come out to play, 7 more mouths of no win arguments start right now.
"What time do you want to meet tomorrow, Teddy?" I say as I turn around to face the road.
"Whenever, just call or text when you get done tomorrow," Teddy says in a shallow voice.
For the rest of the car ride to Teddy's apartment and to our house it is quiet expect for the sound of the radio playing. When Callie and I get back to the house nothing special really happens. We watch some T.V. before we call it a night a go to sleep.
It's around 8:30 when I wake up; Callie is downstairs on the couch watching one of Sofia's cartoons on that is on the DVR with a cup of coffee in her hands. I sit down next her and out of habit I put my arm around her and she curls up along my left side.
We finish watching Tom & Jerry Tales when Callie turns to look up at me. "I figured we could go to Beth's for breakfast before our ultrasound and work?"
"I would love that," I say before I give her kiss. "I'll go get ready."
I get up off the couch and go back upstairs to get ready. It's around 9:30 when we leave the house. Callie has work from noon to 9:30 while I have today and tomorrow off.
When we get to Beth's we order our usual. For Callie it's the traditional breakfast with scramble eggs, hash browns and an English muffin with orange juice and water. I get one of Beth's legendary 6 egg omelette with Ham, American cheese, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms. It also comes with all you can eat hash browns and wheat toast. What can I say, I love my food.
Callie just shakes her head at me when my mountain of food comes out. "You're ridiculous," she says with a chuckle.
"What, I love my food."
We joke and talk about random things while we eat, and yes I eat everything that is in front me along with 2 more serving of hash browns.
I give the waitress my credit card before I slide Callie's plate of uneaten food in front me. "I guess your mother was right," Callie starts as she watches me her plate of food. "I will be applying for a Costco Wholesale membership sometime in the future. You're like a garbage disposal, Sofia is slowly tuning into a bottomless pit, and Addison will probably say that she has two stomachs." Callie motions down her stomach.
"He," I correct with smile.
"We'll see," Callie says with a small laugh.
We leave the diner to go the hospital. Callie changes into the scrubs because she has work after our appointment with Addison. We wait for about 20 minutes before Addison enters the room. "Sorry surgery." She says as she walks over to the ultrasound machine.
She turns it on and rolls it over to Callie's left side. Addison lifts Callie's shirt up to her liking before putting the mineral jelly on Callie's skin. She puts the plastic cover over the probe and starts to scan Callie's stomach.
Callie grabs my hand as she watches Addison who is intently looking at the computer monitor. "Well Callie," Addison breaks the silence. "Looks like you lost your bet."
"Boom," I say with a large grin.
"And Arizona," Addison glances at me for a second. "You need to come up with two names for your sons."
"What!?" Callie and I say in unison.
Addison turns the monitor so it is facing us more. She points down to two pulsing lines at the bottom of the screen. "Those are two different heartbeats."
I can feel my face as it goes from shocked to loving, were having twins. Addison moves the screen so it is facing her more. I go from looking at the computer to looking down at Callie. "I am definitely going to Costco before work tomorrow." She smiles up to me and smile down to her.
"Alright Callie I need you to turn more towards me." Addison says.
Callie turns towards Addison, Addison applies more jelly on to her side and re applies the probe. Addison is looking at the screen for a few minutes before her face contorts for a brief second, which doesn't go unnoticed by Callie or me.
Callie's squeezes my hand before she addresses Addison. "I saw that face, what is it?" Callie asks in a somewhat uneasy voice.
"It's nothing."
"That's not what your face says." Callie spits back quickly. "Tell me what's wrong." Callie starts to raise her voice a little.
Addison gives a deep sigh before her eyes leave the computer screen and looks over towards Callie. "It would seem that you both won your bet."
"I don't understand, what do you mean we both won?"
"You are having twins, but one is a boy and one is a girl."
"Really?" I say intrigued.
Addison just shakes her head yes while looking at me.
"So we're having fraternal twins?" Callie's mind is slowing starting piece things together. "Oh My God!" Callie screams as her hand squeezes mine a little more almost to the point where it is unconformable. "I swear to god I didn't cheat you."
"Callie," I say as I try to remove my hand from her grip.
"I swear I didn't cheat, I don't know how this could of happen." Callie starts to talk a little faster.
"Callie," I try again to get her attention.
"How could this happen?" Callie yells at Addison.
"Calliope!" I yell finally getting her attention. She looks up to me with wide eyes on the verge of tears. I'm finally able to get hand back, and I stretch it out a little bit. "I know you didn't cheat, I trust you. This is called superfetation. It's when two different eggs get fertilized at the same time. One will look a lot more like me and the other will look a lot more like you. It's rare but it's possible." I sip my other hand down her back to try and calm her down.
It takes me another 20 minutes before I get her to calm down. Once she's calm Addison prints us a picture and we schedule our second ultrasound with her. Callie goes off to the ortho wing while I go downstairs to main lobby to wait for Teddy.
I'm waiting for Teddy for another 45 minutes before she gets there. "So?" she says taking a seat right next to me.
"Were having twins", I show her the pictures of my son and daughter.
"Look at my baby, growing up." Teddy mocks. "She's so happy to be a proud parent." Teddy continues as she tries to pinch my cheeks.
"Fuck you," I whisper as I swat away her hand. "Where are we going to first?"
"We are only going to one place because I know the car that I want to buy." Teddy says as she stands up.
Together we get up and walk out of the hospital and get a cab. 20 minutes later we are at Fields BMW.
"You want a BMW?" I say.
"Yep, a 3 series to be exact" Teddy says as she walks to the right side of the lot. Teddy goes to right and I go to left where the SUVs are. I can't really afford to have a car now. Not with my family and hobby at least.
I'm looking at the X5 when a sales associate comes to greet me. "By far this is the best SAV we have to offer." The sales associate says to me. The man is a little on the short side but is somewhat muscular. He has short black hair and is wearing a dark blue dress shirt with a black tie, black slacks and black Gucci loafers. "Hi I'm Ryan Burris. Can I help you with anything today." He says with a smile.
"I really like your X5s you have. How well do they handle off-roading?"
Ryan smiles at me as he looks up and down my body. "Your husband is one luck man." He says with a smile as he motions for me to follow him. "You're going to want the X5 35i Sport Activity. Double wishbone front suspension so going over trails with this car will be nothing. It has lightweight multi-link integral rear suspension and Hill Descent Control. It has a bigger truck space for mountain bikes or other miscellaneous things." He adds when he notices how I'm paying more attention to the back of vehicle.
"Would you like to take it for a test drive?" he asks.
"I would like that," I say to him with a smile.
He grabs the keys and for 15 minutes we drive all around Seattle. When we get back to the lot I buy the X5 while Teddy gets her 3 series. Once all is said and done we go our separate ways. Teddy goes back to her apartment while I go to my old apartment to equip my new car with my emergency essentials. Latex gloves, a few rolls of plastic, two well hidden needles filled with M99, and a few baggy sweatshirts.
When I'm done I start my drive to the Heidelberg Brewery. By the time I get there it is around 6 o'clock. I don't have to worry about Eric coming around because he is in the middle of his shift but I do have to worry about random people. Mount Rainier National Park is available to public so I have to worry about the law breaking teens.
The brewery is on private property so there are no trespassing signs all over the place. But with all the spray painting and broken windows tells me that no one around here follows the rules. With my baggy sweatshirt and latex gloves on I break into brewery. I spend an hour looking around the brewery seeing nothing out of the ordinary; this place is just as empty as his apartment was.
I'm on the far west corner of the brewery when I see a door a with a pad lock on it. The pad lock looks new like someone just put it on there. I take my lock picking kit out of my back pocket and proceed to pick the lock. Since I have my tools and the lock is something you can buy from Wal-Mart I pick it in under 5 minutes.
I enter a small room with no windows and two floor lights on the floor. The wall to left is chains, whips and other sex and torture things hanging on the wall. In the middle of the room is a camera which is facing towards the wall that is on my right side. On the right side is a bed with rope and handcuffs on it. This is it, this is where he rapes and kills is victims. I think I'll be the next woman he brings in this room, only I'll be the one who leaves it alive.
The car ride back to Seattle is an hour, and during that hour I think about how I'm going to flirt with Eric and get him to take me to that brewery without Callie, Sadie or Polly knowing. I know Sadie will be back on Monday morning and I want to get to Eric before he gets to Sarah.
I hate rushing things, and now is not the time for me to be rushing things but I have no other choice. I know Eric has the day off tomorrow. I'll have to do it the hard way where I sneak into his apartment and knock him out, and when he walks up he'll be the one tied to that bed begging for his lift.
I pull in to the garage a few seconds before Callie does. Callie gets out of her car and walks over towards me. "Nice car."
Oh, no you don't.
"I'm glad you approve," I say with a smile as I give her kiss.
We spend the rest of the evening relaxing, we eat the rest of the left over white pizza while watching T.V. in the middle of Monday's episode of The Voice Callie, and I start to kiss, which slowly turns into making out.
Without taking my mouth off of hers I reposition us so she is on the couch lying on her back with me hovering over her. She manages to spread her legs and lift her knees up. My right hand is placed on her knee and it slowly slides downwards towards her thigh.
When I make it to the front of her pants my mouth finally leaves hers. I kiss her jawline, her neck and throat while I undo her belt buckle and unbutton her jeans.
"Arizona," she whispers into my ear.
I think her whisper is for encouragement and I continue what I'm doing. Her pants are completely undone and I'm about to slip my hand down her pants when she grabs my wrist. "Don't," she says to me.
"What's wrong?" I left my head out of her neck and look at her.
"I don't want to hurt the twins." She says to me.
"Having sex won't hurt them, Callie."
"That's not what Addison said."
Fucking whore, I can handle never winning a fight for seven months because I never win fights now, but no sex for sevens. Screw killing Eric tomorrow, I'm going to kill Addison. I don't care if she and Callie are like sisters.
"I'm a pediatric surgeon, Callie. You'll be fine." I say as I lean down to kiss her.
"Yeah and Addison is a world class neonatal surgeon with board certifications in both obstetrics and gynecology and maternal and fetal medicine. I think she knows what she is talking about." Callie moves to her left to dodge the kiss.
All I do is sigh as I get up off Callie.
"I'm going to go to sleep because I'm tired." Callie says as she goes upstairs.
I'm downstairs for another hour before I go sleep. When I wake up in the morning I'm all alone in the house. Callie is nowhere to be found. I check my phone to see that Callie sent me a text message before she left. She had to go to the hospital early and wouldn't be home until 10:30 pm and that Mark is bringing Sofia and Roxie home around 8:30 tonight. Looks like Eric and I will be spending the day together.
I make breakfast before I get ready for my day of fun. I pull out of the neighborhood with a smile on my face. I pull up to my first red light when I get a text message from a number I don't know.
'You're going to have to try harder if you want to ditch me Robbins.'
I look up from my phone and over to my right to Sadie Harris in a brand new car, a BMW 5 series to be exact.
Well there goes my day.
