Chapter 11

Hey Guy's, thank you for all the wonderful feedback! I agree with the sentiments to not trust Sara, she is very sneaky!

Callie POV

I've been laying in bed for a few minutes now just pulling myself together. I am starting to feel better those few hours of sleep really have been good for me. Arizona was able to keep everyone out of here for a few hours it's a little past three AM now. I am starting to feel a little pain in my shoulder and know its time for another dose of pain meds.

I make my way to the kitchen and stop when I see Arizona fast asleep on the couch. She must be exhausted from the past few days. She really needs to go home and get some rest. Just because my life is a complete mess right now does not mean that hers must be. I walk over to her, she looks so peaceful while she is asleep. I bend down and gently start to caress her cheek. She is so adorable between the sleep and awake stages as she tries to pull herself into complete consciousness.

"Calliope, what are you doing out of bed"

"I needed to grab some water and some pain meds"

She moves to get up. "you sit, I can get that stuff for you," she says to me.

"Arizona, I can do somethings, besides you were able to give me a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. So, thank you for that"

"I'm not having it Calliope, sit"

I do as I'm instructed and sit, she gets up and runs into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge and my meds. I also see her grab that disgusting throat medication that Owen prescribed. "umm Arizona, we talked about this already I am not taking that stuff it tastes like a monkey's ass" I say to her.

"I would really want to know why you know what a monkey's ass tastes like Calliope" she makes her way back over to the couch "and besides I told you already that you didn't have a choice. This will help your throat heal faster and it numbs some of the pain that you are feeling."

She hands me the water and the pills, and I quickly but painfully swallow them down. "Arizona that stuff smells and tastes terrible" I start to pout.

"Calliope, your adorable but you aren't getting out of this, now stop acting like one of my kids and open wide."

Sighing I open my mouth and just like I already knew it is the worst thing I have ever tasted. I hear soft giggles from the woman in front of me. "you better not be laughing at me Robbins"

"I…" she stops and fully erupts in laughter "your face, you made this ridiculous face Calliope. I can't help it." She continues to laugh even though I am giving her my glare and that only makes her laugh more.

"you know if I had two good arms right now, I would so make you pay for that"

"Oh, come on," she says giving me a soft nudge and putting the things on the table "I guess when you do have two good arms you will have to remember that, so what do you want to do now? I haven't been up at three AM, and not either be drunk or having sex" she says to me.

"well seeing how I won't be drinking for the foreseeable future I think that's out." I let my face grow serious "now for the other thing, I don't think we are at that stage in our relationship yet" I watch as her face becomes beet red. She is so easy to tease sometimes. "I'm kidding," I say as I watch her release a breath. There is a knock at the door that draws my attention.

"I'm still here Jacobs," I say to the man who is letting himself in. I watch as he gives me a tight smile and looks over to Arizona. I feel like I'm out of the loop. "ok guys what am I missing?"

"you didn't fill her in yet?" Jacobs looks towards Arizona

"not yet, I was just about to get to that"

"Fill me in on what. Do you guys have a visual on my parents?" I ask that would be the best news that they could give me right now. But judging by their facial expressions that must not be the case.

"we have to put you on lockdown Callie, that or we go back into hiding. I would prefer if you went into hiding but I know that you won't" Jacobs says looking at Arizona "and I know that you won't leave her. So, I don't really want to force you into something that you don't want. But if this escalates you will have no choice and I will drag you out of here if that means keeping you alive."

I look at him, he has yet to say what happened "why am I on lockdown?"

He walks over to us "we received this photo about four hours ago" he hands it to me and my stomach flips. How could this be happening right now?

"now, the building is secure we did do sweeps of each apartment and so far, everything is secure. I will come back with updates once we have them." I watch as he exits the apartment.

"Calliope are you alright"

I laugh "no I'm really not. It just keeps coming. I like to fool myself at different times that I could ever have a normal life. That I could do my research, get married, have my own kids but it won't ever happen. I probably won't even make it to my birthday" I feel the tears making their way down my face.

"Hey, I don't ever want you speaking like that. You will get it all. God, you will have everything that you have always dreamed of. This will not be the end of your story. I promise you that."

"I know you mean well Arizona, but that's not something you can really promise me. They got this close to me. And no one noticed all these agents running around but my father always manages to be a step ahead of them." I feel so defeated right now, and scared but not for me. "Arizona, you have to go…leave right now. You can't be here. It's not safe."

Shaking her head "you need me more now than ever, I couldn't possibly leave you here and just go about my life like everything is ok. I would be worried sick about you. I told you we are in this together."

"No, Arizona you have your whole life to think about, your work, your life. You can't lose all of that because of me."

"Calliope my life makes so much more sense because of you now. This is our fight and we will both walk out of this together…I'm not going anywhere"

I can see all her emotions in her eyes. Devotion, fear, understanding, and love. Before my brain catches up with me I press myself close to her until our lips are locked. It takes me a second to fully understand that she is kissing me back. It started out small at first but as the seconds pass it grew larger and more intense. With the wetness of my tears missing in. I pulled my good arm around the back of her head and I can hear her moan as I do it. I have never shared a kiss like this with anyone I feel so exposed but also so free at the same time. I feel her start to slowly pull back.

I open my eyes to find hers shining at me.

"wow, Calliope"

"Yea..." it's all I can say in that moment. I don't think a kiss has ever changed my life before now. I pull back further. "I know I probably shouldn't have done that"

She smiles at me "I know we haven't had our talk yet, but I know you and Sara are still a thing and I don't want to come between you two Arizona." She stops me.

"Calliope, you are already between Sara and me, and not in a bad way. It was over between the two of us for months. I was planning on ending things with her as soon as she got back into town. I don't want to take what we could have for granted."

I'm about to respond to her when there is a loud bang. I would think the whole building shook. I hear the buildings fire alarm going off as we both get up an make our way to the door. Jacobs bursts in panting breathing heavily with blood oozing out of his stomach.

"Oh, my God. Jacob's what happened to you" Arizona asks

"it's a trap. There is a mole. Three guys ambushed us and took out the agents."

"how do you know it's a mole?" I ask trying to get all the information I can before he pasts out.

"no one knew where we were and what apartment. I had agents in six different units, but they came directly to us and only four people know where we are and only I and Benson knew which one you were in and he's dead. A bullet through the head." He looks at Arizona. "here take this go down the fire escape. And get her out of here" he hands her his gun and nods grabbing me towards the window.

"Arizona, wait" I take off to the bedroom and pull out a black bag from out of my closet and open it for her to see. She has a surprised expression on her face. "I like to be prepared for anything," I say. Inside the bag are clothes $20,000 multiple guns, ID and plenty of ammo.

There is another explosion and the windows break. "Callie, we have to move now"

We make our way out of the apartment and into the night.
