"Gabby! Baby talk to me!" Leo shrieked into the phone, 'she sounded so weak' he thought as he hung up the phone and ran to the door.
He had just gotten home when he got her first call.
"hey honey, what are you doing?" he asked into the phone.
"Logan is forcing me to go to some end of the year drunk-fest." She joked, and he could practically see her rolling her eyes.
"Well do you want me to bust it and rescue you" he laughed.
"No I think I will let them have their fun, I will just come over afterwards" she groaned.
"Okay I will leave the key under the mat, bye baby"
"Bye" she sighed before hanging up.
He then changed into a pair of jeans and unbuttoned his uniform shirt, plopped on the couch and turned on the T.V.
Now no more then two hours later he was running out of the apartment and jumped into his car racing toward the 09er zip. On the way he called Keith and asked whose party Veronica went to, then called the station to get an address. He ran through the front people freezing in their paths at the sight of his uniform shirt and badge.
He got to the back and continued to look, checking all the areas that were secluded, when she called it was quiet on her end, she had to be somewhere that didn't have any music or people. As he passed all the drunken partiers he spotted Logan looking frantic and scared.
"Logan where is Gabby" Leo said jerking the younger man around to face him.
"Leo what... I don't know man I was just looking for her" he said panicked.
"Are there any guest rooms?" he asked pulling out all his training to remain calm and logical during an emergency.
"I checked all of them" he said looking back to the side of the house he had just vacated.
"Whose house is this?" he asked looking at the party.
Logan looked around before spotting a brunette sitting on the couch beside Luke and Casey.
"There" he said pointing at her.
"Come on" Leo said rushing towards the couches. "Are you Shelly Palmroy" he asked in a direct and mature manner.
"Yes" she giggled until she noticed his uniform. "O no your not busting me are you"
"No I just need to know how many rooms you have in the house"
She thought the question over a little confused, or maybe just too drunk to remember. "Um five"
"How many did you check?" he asked Logan.
"The three guest rooms" he said looking back at Shelly.
"Where are the other rooms?" he yelled.
She pointed over her shoulder to the other side where they had entered. They ran through the party back into the main house through the glass patio doors. They passed through the kitchen where the 4 kegs were set up and into the formal part of the mansion which was off limits to party goers.
After scaling the hallways and opening the doors to 3 closets and 2 bathrooms they finally found the master bedroom. They cracked open the door to see some movement on the bed, a male figure moving up and down. The air was filled with moans.
Leo crashed through the doors screaming "get the fuck off her!"
Logan found the light switch on the side of the wall and looked back up to the bed when the room filled with light. Surprised to see that the couple in bed was Tad and his girlfriend Carmen.
"Oh god I am sorry" Leo said turning away.
"Get the fuck out man" Tad yelled back at them trying to cover Carmen.
When Logan and Leo got out of the room and closed the door they continued down the hallway to the last and final room which they guessed was Shelly's. If she wasn't in here then they weren't sure what they were going to do.
Yet again they creaked the door open to see the same silhouette that they encountered just a minute before. Leo already made his way into the room while Logan searched for the light. Both stopped in their tracks at the whispered "stop it" coming from the bed. Fueled with anger Leo ran to the bed, grabbing the guys arm and pulling him off and slamming him down to the ground.
Logan finally found the light switch turning it on and hesitating before looking at the room and finally the bed. He was happy to see that she still had her clothes on. But then he saw the signs of struggle, her tank top straps were ripped and the top was pulled and stretched in parts. Her neck was red and swollen with dark forming hickys around the base. Her hair was disheveled and her floor length black skirt which Lilly though was hot with the two slits that ran up to her thighs was now hiked up to her waist exposing part of her pink panties. 'O thank god she still has her underwear on' he thought as he moved to the bed and began collecting her in his arms.
When he turned around he spotted Leo on the ground, the guy was on his stomach his arms stretched behind him while Leo slapped on the pair of handcuffs he had grabbed from his car on the way in. Logan looked closer, the guy looked familiar but he wasn't quite sure who it was until Leo flung him over onto his back.
"You fucking asshole" Logan yelled kicking Sean Fredrick in the side, accidentally jostling Gabby who was now cradled in his arms. "how the fuck could you do that?"
"Dude she came onto me" Sean gestured to Gabby.
"O really when was this before or after she asked you to 'stop it'"
"Dude you know girls, 'no' means 'yes' and…." he was cut off by Leo's fist crashing into his jaw. The man was now shooting fire from his eyes at the young cuffed man.
"Don't you say another fucking word" he said through gritted teeth picking the boy from the ground and pushing him through the door. "Sean you are being charged with the attempted rape of Gabrielle Echolls." He said shoving his head down and pushing him into the back seat of his car.
"Here let me take her to the hospital" Leo said stretching his arms out to get Gabby.
"No man I can do it" he said holding her closer to his chest.
"Logan man what is going on" Duncan asked running up to him. He had seen Logan carrying Gabby and knew something was up. Gabby had passed out at one point and now lay slumped in his arms.
"Gabby is drugged we need to get her to the hospital"
"I will take her" he said grabbing her and moving to put her in Logan's truck while Logan got out his keys. Logan searched his pockets and could not find them, finally realizing he left them in his jacket he left back in the room with….
"Veronica" he said looking back at the house. It hit him all at once that he had left her. "I have to get my keys"
"I will take her in my truck we will meet you there" he said moving to his silver SUV.
Logan ran back through the party dodging all the people who tried to talk to him. He go to the room opening the door quietly and seeing Veronica still asleep on her side. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. He thought about leaving her there to continue sleeping but then thought about the tongue lashing she would give him later if he left her there while Gabby wad sick.
He moved to the bed bending down and placing a kiss on her forehead. She stirred her eyes fluttering open as she looked at him. A small smile crept onto her face, the same dreamy one she had when she first pulled him in her arms earlier that night.
"Veronica we need to go" he said moving the covers back and helping her to sit up.
"What…where?" she asked disoriented.
"Gabby is drugged we need to get her to the hospital" he said grabbing her underwear from the floor and handing them to her. She looked at them curiously, then she moved her hand down in between her legs, flinching a bit in soreness. She then looked back up at him "That wasn't a dream?" she asked a slight bit of nervousness in her voice.
"No… you don't remember?"
"Kind of, it is just a little fuzzy that's all" she then snapped out of her thoughts her eyes more alert. "Gabby's sick?"
"Yeah we need to get out of here" he said grabbing his jacket, Veronica slipped on her underwear and slid her hand into his letting him lead her through the party. Along the way they grabbed Lilly and Meg.
They made their way to the hospital all running in to check on their friend. Logan asked the nurse where she was and was directed to the emergency room. When they finally made it they saw her laying on the table she was still out and a doctor was checking her eyes.
"Are you Logan?" he asked as Logan ran up.
Logan nodded looking back at his sister a wave of guilt running through his veins, he then looked up at the doctor questioningly realizing that he knew his name.
"My name is Dr. Rizzuti I was working with Gabby on her case" he said reading the boys look. "I need to know what she is on"
Everyone looked confused not really sure how to answer, none of them talked to Gabby about what she had that night.
"Liquid X" Logan said shocking everyone. The doctor nodded his head escorting the kids back to the waiting room as he ordered a stomach pump. When Logan sat down his head in his hands between his parted legs. Veronica kneeled in front of him trying to understand what was going on.
"Logan you didn't" she said trying to hide the accusation from her voice.
"I just wanted her to have some fun, these fucking psychos have been bringing her down lately." He said his fist pulling into a fist. "Our Gabby is gone, I just wanted to bring her back" he said looking into her eyes, tears slipping down his face.
"Logan…" she wasn't sure how to respond to this.
"I never expected for her to get hurt I swear, please believe me I would never hurt her" he said pleading. He began to sob, his head slumped back into his head as he began breathing heavily.
"Shhh" she said placing her hands on his head and rubbing lightly. "I trust you"
So there they sat in the waiting room all stunned into silence.
