Chapter 8

"Julie?" Isaac asked in surprise.

Bonnie glanced from Isaac to Annalise and then back at Isaac, her hands shaking slightly.

A knock was heard on the door. Frank walked in.

"Bonnie, Annalise hasn't woken up yet. She took quite a shot, you know."

Bonnie nodded mutely, eyes drifting towards Isaac once more. Frank caught the sideways glance.

"Do you two…ummm….know each other?" he asked.

Isaac shifted slightly in his seat before speaking.

"Yes. You could say we've met before."

At that, Bonnie seemed to snap out of her trance.

"Umm…Dr. Roa, if you wouldn't mind, could you please step outside for a word?" Bonnie asked.

Isaac turned to glare at Bonnie as he got up. Silently the tow walked out.

Frank meanwhile took Isaac'c seat.

"Those two must be doing it." He said, with a shrug.

As soon as the two walked out the door, Isaac turned on Bonnie immediately.

"So 'Julie'…or 'Bonnie' or whatever your name is that you're going to spout next, I suggest you start talking fast. Now." Isaac replied, with a heated glare.

Bonnie sighed.

"My name is Bonnie Winterbottom. I work for Annalise and I'm her associate."

Isaac's eyes widened, the dots in his head connecting, the pieces falling into place one after the other. He glanced through the window at Annalise's still frame.

"So…when you were speaking about Mae…" Isaac began "Mae is-"

"Annalise Keating. Yes." Bonnie finished with a sigh.

Isaac paled at that information.

"You can't imagine how much of a help you've been to me." Bonnie started.

Isaac continued to glare at her.

"You need much more than my help." He replied in a low growl.

Bonnie stiffened at that.

"Oh yeah?" she replied, her voice turning cold. "And what is it that you're doing here Dr. Roa?"

Isaac froze at that.

"You're Annalise's therapist, aren't you? That doesn't explain what you're doing here right now. Tell me, Dr. Roa. Are you stalking Annalise?" Bonnie continued.

Isaac's eyes widened at that before narrowing. When he spoke, his voice was just as harsh as Bonnie's.

"I am just here to check up on my patient." he replied angrily.

"Really?" Bonnie drawled. "Doesn't seem likely to me. Aren't you a doctor of psychology? Then why are you here right now at the ICU? Seems like staking to me."

Isaac was silent.

"I could report you to the Ethics Board for gross violation. I could have your license, you know."

This time Isaac lashed out in a low growl.

"I could do the same to you. For assuming a false identity and attempting to ruin one of my patient's lives." he countered.

"I wasn't trying to-" Bonnie began, but was cut off by Isaac.

"Oh don't you dare lie to me. "I came here to hurt her." Those were your exact words at our last session. You've been lying to me since day one. Who do you think the Ethics Board will side with? Because I don't like your chances as you are right now."

Bonnie was silent for a few moments before she replied.

"I'll cover you if you cover me."

"What?" Isaac asked confused.

"I'll back up your story so long as you don't tell Frank or Annalise anything. Especially Annalise." She reiterated. "Got it?" she asked.

Isaac nodded mutely. He turned to leave before stopping. He turned back around.

"Bonnie, I can't be your therapist anymore." he replied softly.

Bonnie stiffened at that.

"But you know the whole truth now-" she began, but was cut off.

"That's not the case." he replied. "I cannot represent both you and Annalise at the same time. It's a conflict of interest. You should know that, being a lawyer."

Bonnie sighed before nodding.

"Don't worry. I'm not abandoning you." he replied, softly. He reached into his coat and pulled out a card. "This is a few of my therapist contacts. Give one of them a call when you can." he said, handing the card over to her.

Bonnie took the card.

Isaac turned around and walked back down the hallway before walking down the stairs.

Bonnie watched him retreat with a sigh.

Well, she thought with a wry grin, It could have gone much worse. She turned around and re-entered Annalise's cabin.

When Isaac came home, he deposited his keys on the table and occupied his usual seat in his office.

Bonnie's words were still ringing in his mind.

And what is it that you're doing here Dr. Roa?

You're Annalise's therapist, aren't you? That doesn't explain what you're doing here right now. Tell me, Dr. Roa. Are you stalking Annalise?

He hadn't been able to explain himself. Technically speaking, he shouldn't have been there. Yet, when he had received the call from Frank, he had been unable to stop himself. When he heard she had been shot, his heart had skipped a beat momentarily.

Another voice rang out in his mind. A distinctly soft, feminine voice.

She's triggering you, Isaac…

Reaching out, hands shaking slightly, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number quickly. He hoped and prayed that the call would be answered. After a few rings, the call connected.

"Isaac?" a female voice spoke.

Isaac took a deep breath before speaking.

"We need to talk, Jacqueline."

Authors note: There you go. The truth, or at least some of it, is out now. I know this is a short chapter. But I promise the next one will be longer . Anyways, read and review. I'd love some feedback.
