Chapter 14
The next day, Carisi and Fin go to Nate's apartment building and they search the entire apartment. They go into the bedroom and they look for Declan's EpiPen. As they're searching, they find nothing yet and then, Fin finds the EpiPen in the dresser.
"He didn't even try to hide it." Fin says.
"Wait until Murphy's mom finds out that the EpiPen was stolen." Carisi replies.
Fin and Carisi put the EpiPen in a plastic bag for evidence. They leave Nate's apartment and then the leave the building. They go to the bar that Nate owns and they talk to the waitress who served them drinks the night before. They hold up their badges and they start discussing the allergic reaction case.
"I remember you guys had the raspberry lemonade and the Pina colada with no alcohol last night." The waitress says.
"The Pina colada was spiked with rum." Carisi replies.
The waitress is shocked to learn that the rum that she served the night before was spiked with rum. She takes out her phone so that she can show Fin and Carisi the video of the drink being spiked. The detectives tell her that they found Declan's EpiPen and they're using it for evidence before he gets it back.
"The owner, Nate and his friends spiked the drink." The waitress says.
"How do you know it was them?" Fin asks.
"I recorded it. They were laughing. I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to lose my job because I'm studying to be a nurse. Here's the video." The waitress replies.
The waitress shows Fin and Carisi the video that she recorded on her phone and they are in shock. They thank the waitress and they leave the bar. Fin and Carisi head back to Nate's apartment to confront him about Declan but he isn't home. They see that the bathroom door is closed and Carisi knocks on it. He hears Nate's girlfriend Kate vomiting in the bathroom. She flushes the toilet after and opens the door.
"Wow, you look green." Carisi says.
"I had a bad breakfast sandwich this morning." Kate replies.
Fin goes into the kitchen, grabs a paper towel and he wets the towel. He returns to the family room and hands Kate the wet paper towel to clean the vomit off of her mouth. Carisi goes into the kitchen and he grabs a glass and some ginger ale and he pours it into the glass. He returns to the family room and hands Kate the ginger ale and she drinks it.
"Is there any chance that you might be pregnant?" Carisi asks.
"Maybe. I just started feeling sick. Nate and I had sex a few weeks ago." Kate replies.
"Did he use a condom?" Fin asks.
"No. I'm taking a pregnancy test soon." Kate responds.
Carisi and Fin leave Nate's apartment and they head back to the hospital to check on Declan. Amanda is in the waiting room and she sees Fin and Carisi coming in. They sit in the chairs and they wonder what to say as Amanda looks at her ring.
"How's Murphy?" Carisi asks.
"He's sleeping. Lindsay's in there with him. I'm about to call his mom." Amanda replies.
Amanda takes out her cell phone and she is ready to make a phone call. Fin and Carisi have some news for Amanda. She wonders what's in the bag and they get ready to tell her that they found Declan's EpiPen. She hopes that he can have it back soon.
"We found Murphy's EpiPen. It was in Nate's apartment." Fin says.
"Did you happen to see him?" Amanda asks.
"No, but we ran into his girlfriend and she looked sick." Carisi replies.
Fin and Carisi tell Amanda that they'll hold on the EpiPen when Nate and his friends get questioned and they'll give him the EpiPen back when they're done. Amanda calls Declan's mom to tell her that his EpiPen was found. They hope that he gets it back because he never knows when he'll need it. Meanwhile, Declan wakes up in his hospital room to see Lindsay there standing by his bed and the monitor is beeping.
"Lindsay? What happened? Where am I?" Declan asks.
"You're in the hospital. You passed out from your allergic reaction." Lindsay replies.
Declan is no longer wearing the oxygen mask and is breathing just fine. They talk about what happened the night before and Declan says that he thought that he was going to die. Lindsay reminds him that he has a fiancée and a daughter to think about. As Declan reminds her that he wants a good recovery, Nate comes into his hospital room uninvited and Lindsay looks unhappy to see Nate.
"What are you doing here?" Lindsay asks Nate coldly.
"Can I talk to you, please?" Nate asks Declan.
Nate tries to approach Declan and all of a sudden, he starts to have a panic attack. His breathing becomes heavy and he wants Nate to leave him alone. Lindsay tries to help him the best way that she can.
"Get away from me!" Declan yells.
"Listen, Murphy, I didn't know." Nate says.
"No, go away! Get out of here!" Declan yells.
Declan groans in pain as Nate tries to come up to him. Lindsay is applaud that Nate has the nerve to cause her brother anymore pain. He just doesn't want to be around Nate. Lindsay gets ready to call for help.
"You want Amanda for yourself." Nate says.
"Leave!" Lindsay shouts.
"I saw you making out with her." Nate says.
As the pain is excruciating, Declan complains that he wants the pain to stop. Lindsay tries to make Nate leave. Declan pushes the nurse call button for help and the monitor is beeping rapidly.
"Go! Leave now!" Lindsay demands.
"Somebody, help!" Declan shouts.
"I'm sorry." Nate says.
The nurse comes running to Declan's hospital room to check on him. Nate prepares to leave and Lindsay tries to help her brother. The nurse sees that Declan is in distress and needs to stay calm. She sees Nate traumatizing Declan. The doctor comes running to the hospital as well.
"Help!" Declan yells.
"He was fine a minute ago." Lindsay says.
"Call security. Sir, it's okay. Just calm down." The nurse tells Declan.
"Let's calm him down. Go get his fiancée." The doctor tells the nurse.
Nate leaves Declan's hospital room and he leaves the hospital. The nurse comes out of the hospital room to get Amanda who's still in the waiting room. She sees the nurse and she has a feeling that Declan is in distress. Amanda runs to Declan's hospital room and she lays in his hospital bed with him and she tries to calm him down.
