A/N: First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews I got on the last chapter! They keep me motivated and help me to write faster. I'm glad so many people are enjoying this story as much as I am! :)
A short chapter for now, but I thought I'd at least give you something! I'll have the next one up as soon as I can.
Breaking Point
Chapter 11
"I want this blood tested now!" Olivia said to the other agents around her. "Find out who it belongs to." She ran a hand through her hair and holstered her gun. Peter had disappeared again and she had no idea how to find him. She was still angry with him for not telling her everything about his past, but she couldn't let her emotions get in the way of saving him. Suddenly, her head felt as though it was going to explode. Olivia put her head in her hands and willed the terrible headache to stop, but it was far from over.
Broyles and Walter rushed to Olivia's side along with several others.
"Agent Dunham, what's wrong?" Walter asked frantically, but she couldn't answer any of their questions.
"Get her outside, now." Broyles ordered as Walter led her out the door and to her car where he had her sit in the passenger seat.
Walter didn't know what to do. Olivia sat with her head in her hands, her face twisted in pain until her she abruptly looked up. Her green eyes met Walter's and she said "I saw Peter."
Walter was dumbstruck and stood staring at Olivia in confusion as Broyles approached them.
"You ok, Dunham?" He asked to which Olivia nodded. Broyles then looked at her sternly. "I'm taking you off this case." He said.
"You can't do that!" She said quickly while standing up.
"I can and I will." He replied. "You're too involved in this one, Olivia, and you know it. I also can't risk you getting hurt. You're still recovering from jumping universes. Walter said your body can't take too much more stress right now so you're going to sit this one out." With that the senior agent walked away.
Olivia began pacing back and forth. How could she locate Peter if Broyles wouldn't let her work the case? She needed to find him and she needed to do it soon. She didn't know what she'd do if they got there too late.
Walter put a hand on Olivia's shoulder, stopping her. "You saw Peter?" He asked.
Olivia suddenly remembered what had happened to her during her headache. Everything was black at first, but then images of Peter began appearing in her mind. She could see him lying on the floor in a room she didn't recognize. He seemed to be tied up and unconscious. His face was bruised and there was a deep cut on his forehead.
"I did." She said. "But I don't know how or why and I don't know where he is." Her voice was filled with emotion, pleading for Walter's help. She didn't know what was happening to her or if she was simply imagining things.
"Let's go back to the lab." Walter replied. "I'll run some tests."
Peter awoke in yet another strange room. He remembered one of Big Eddie's men beating him senseless until he succumbed to the darkness that overwhelmed him. He assumed they moved him while he was out. For the first time since he'd been taken, Peter began to wonder how he was going to get out. He hoped the FBI and Olivia would find him, but now, he wasn't sure if Olivia would even care if he was found. He knew trust was important to her and she didn't' like the two of them keeping secrets, but he thought he could make an exception, just this once. However, he was starting to realize he was wrong.
