Gabby opened her eyes slowly. Her head span as light hit them. She blinked a few times. Ramsey appeared in front of her. She jerked back and hit her head on a metal post. She winced and tried to touch it, before realising her hands were bound to the post. "Don't struggle" Ramsey said. She looked at him "what do you want from me?" she asked, shuffling back
"keep quiet" Ramsey smiled wrly
Gabby pulled at the restraints. Her fierce spirit was shining through. Ramsey violently kicked her ribcage and her head hit the post hard. She was dazed. She couldn't tell if her phone was in her pocket. Ramsey laughed "I've got your phone, and your radio, don't worry they are both switched off, no one will know where you are"
"What do you want?" Gabby said again. She fiddled with the ties. He laughed and knelt down in front of her and stroked her face. She turned away but there was nowhere to go. Her skin crawled but she couldn't escape. She closed her eyes and imagined being back at 51, away from Ramsey, safe. She imagined Shay, her best friend, the one who always defended her, even when she was wrong. She thought of Herrmann, he was like a father to her, he had always been there for her, when things were tough. She had to get out of here. Ramsey walked though a heavy metal door and pulled it shut, he hung back for a second "I'll be back" he whispered. She pulled at the ties and groaned as they wouldn't break. She twisted her hands desperately. "don't panic" she whispered to herself "stay calm, focus" she told herself. She felt the ropes for a knot. When she located it she pulled the loose threads until she felt give in one of them. She pulled at it, ignoring that the other hand was being cut by the threads. Eventually she managed to pull them off. She stumbled forward, her head span. She felt blood on her arms, he must have dragged her along the floor. She was dizzy, nauseus, she knew she had a head injury. She crept towards the door. Before she could get there she heard his footsteps. She stood next to the door, she had to fight him. She could hear Antonio saying "Do not go Gabby on this" and she smiled, praying he would come and save her. The door opened and Gabby took a deep breath. He grabbed her shoulders and tried to throw her on the floor. She fought back. He was taller, and she was weakened. He slammed her onto the floor. She was winded as she hit the concrete. Ramsey was brutal. He kicked her over and over. She called out and tried to knock him over. He stood on her hands and then violently punched her face. She fell back, blood starting to run from her nose. She tried to stop it but as she reached up he slammed her head against the floor. She tried to keep her eyes open but the darkness took over.
Shay paced around the firehouse kitchen "WHY are we all still here?!" she said angrily "WHY ARE WE NOT LOOKING FOR HER" she shouted.
"Shay, Shay we are looking for her" Jay Halstead said calmly
"He has taken her somewhere and she's gonna be scared and maybe hurt… he might have killed her and here we all are just waiting for her to just walk through the door" she said, half antsy and half sad. Kelly placed his hands on her shoulders "hey this is Gabby, she will be fighting like hell"
"He was such a creep!" Shay sighed, a shiver passed over her. She kept her head down as Jay and Antonio discusses their best options.
"We're gonna drive around, see if we can see anything" Antonio said
"I'm coming with you" Shay said quickly
"No" Jay said
"Please" Shay said desperately
Antonio sighed "Fine. But you sit quietly. And don't do anything"
"Promise" Shay said. They all walked out to the police car. Shay looked out of the windows, begging for a sign. Anything.
Gabby didn't open her eyes but she knew she was being dragged along the floor. Gravel cut her skin and her uniform was thinning out. She slowly and weakly opened her eyes. She gasped as she was thrown into a small, dark room. It smelled of damp and the floor was cold. She felt Ramsey standing over her and she looked up. He pushed her flat onto the floor. His hands held her shoulders down.
"Please.. tell me what you want" she begged
"I want you" he said
"Wh… what?"
"You" he said again, leaning closer. His nose was touching hers. She tried to move back but he pulled her neck closer. He leaned in. She scrambled desperately to get away. He held her down tightly, his fingernails cutting her skin. She felt his horrible breath on her cheek.
"You know I love you" he smiled
"No" Gabby whispered fearfully "no please stop"
"Now now just keep still and everything will be ok" he said, pushing her down. She was helpless, she couldn't do anything. He laughed as she tried to break free. She managed to get her knee free and kick his thigh. He inhaled sharply "I told you not to fight" he hissed. He stood up and grabbed rope from behind him. He tied her feet tightly together. He pulled the rope so tight it was cutting her skin. She turned her face away as he lay down next to her. He grabbed her cheeks and made her look at him "Gabby" he smiled eerily "you're mine now"
"They're going to be looking for me" she whispered "my brother is a Police Officer"
"I know. That's why I brought you here. They'll never find you here" he grinned "you're all mine, mine mine mine" he hissed. Snaking his hands over her. She recoiled at his touch but it was no use. He held her close. She was determined not to cry, not in front of him, she bit her lip as he pushed himself onto her, she knew what he was going to do next.
Shay sat nervously in the back of the police car. She looked around for any clues about where Gabby had gone. Jay's radio beeped and he brought it to his ear. Antonio looked at him.
"We've got Ramsey's current address, finally, let's go round there see if there's any sign"
"He's gotta be there right? He must have her there?" Shay said
"Maybe" Antonio sighed
They sped along until they reached his house where a search team was waiting. Shay stood back, rather unwillingly. Jay looked around the exterior of the house "Alright let's go" he said. He approached the door and knocked on it loudly. They waited a few moments for an answer. He knocked again "this is Chicago PD open the door" he said loudly. Nothing. Jay shook his head "Alright in you go" he waved at the team. They ran to the door and forced it open "HANDS IN THE AIR THIS IS CHICAGO PD" they shouted. Jay waited for the calls. He looked up confusedly as "clear" was called multiple times. He ran inside, and looked around. Antonio cursed "damn it"
"He has to be here!" Shay said, running inside, ignoring the police "RAMSEY" she screamed "GABBY!"
"She isn't here Shay" Jay said sympathetically
"They have to be!"
"We will keep looking"
"GABBY!" Shay shouted, running down the stairs to the basement. The officers stopped her "it's clear" they said firmly. She sat on the cold floor sadly "Gabby" she whispered "where are you"
"FIND" an officer suddenly shouted. Everyone ran upstairs. Jay looked in. There was a bottle of chloroform and some ropes. Shay stared at them, then looked at Jay "Alright people" he said
"We need to find her. Now. If he's got chloroform god knows what else he's got. Let's go"
They all ran back to their cars and the search continued. Shay wiped her eyes. She was going to be strong for Gabby. She had to be.
