Hi all! I just finished with this scene. I have to admit it is one of my favorites from this episode. Here it was really clear to see Barbie was and could be dangerous. All the edges still there, but with Julia it is all gone (: So enjoy!

Reckless

(S01x04 – Part 3/5)

Adrenalin was kicking in. He felt such fear and panic like never before. How stupid he was! How fucking stupid to think for just one single moment that Julia was fine in the hospital! He had had this nagging ice cold feeling creeping up his spine when Alice had told them they had an outbreak, meningitis, and that there were not enough antibiotics for everyone. It had not even been a question in his mind as he had jumped into action to get them for the town… for Julia.

Now here he was with the fucking antibiotics and he could not find her anywhere. Alice had told him Julia had not been resting in bed like she was supposed to; instead she had been walking around the floors. She really never did what she was told to do anyway…. he should have known. He never should have left her alone!

Now he was hurrying along the floor in a fanatic search for Phil. If he had said anything to her, he swore he would kill his sorry ass. He found him in one of the wheelchairs on the second floor.

"So where is Julia?" He snapped at him. No hi, no how are you. Phil looked at him with foggy eyes; he seemed really out of it.

"Not a clue man. I barely know where I am."

Barbie did not give a shit about how he was. Phil might have been barely getting out of this between life and death situation, but he was more than happy to send him back there if he was not cooperating. Looking around he put one of his feet on the wheel of the wheelchair quickly glancing around if anyone was within earshot.

"What did you tell her?" He asked in a dangerously low voice. Anyone with half a brain would shit himself but Phil seemed to be a real jackass. None could fuck with him and most importantly none could fuck around if it could cost Julia's life. With one smooth movement he kicked the wheelchair into motion; it spun around with such a force Phil had to grab hard on the arms, his cup of tea falling on the hard floor with a clash.

Barbie leaned down to pick it up, as if it would have been only an accident. He wished they were alone on the floor; he would have kicked the shit out of his sorry ass by now. Grabbing on Phil's shoulder he leaned down to him, giving the cup back to him. From outside it might have looked like a friendly gesture but his grip was iron strong on the DJ's shoulder and his eyes ice cold and promising all kind of deaths as he stared into his eyes.

"What did she ask you?"

"It is all kind of blurry but I think it was something about her husband."

Barbie's grip automatically hardened on his shoulder and he winced in pain.

"Relax it is not like he is gonna say anything about you. He is gone."

His comment made Barbie froze and all the blood left his face.

"What do you mean he is gone?" He hissed. How the fuck Phil knew it? Did Julia know it?

"Gone like gone. Like 'Adios, Peter Shumway." Phil said pulling himself from his iron grip. Barbie looked around in hesitation. Phil sounded too cool about this and it confused him.

"About a month ago, he came to me asking if I knew any hit men."

Shock after shock hit him hard. Phil was dangerously close to the truth.

"Whoa… He asked you about hit men?" This was a nightmare coming true.

"I know. Right? And I told him that crap was only in the movies. He was in a bad way." Slowly Barbie stared to relax. "He sold me his car for a steal. I told him if things were that bad, he should take the cash and buy the first bus ticket out of here and start over." The first wave of worry left Barbie. They were dangerously close to the truth but they didn't know it.

"Sorry, man. I don't know how much he owed you. You ain't getting that cash back." Phil added clearly misinterpreting his anger.

The least of his worries were cash. Now that the possibility of getting uncovered was gone, his worry and fear for Julia came back rushing into his mind and freezing his heart.

"And how much of this did you tell her?" His question might have been odd for Phil, what he would care about Julia. But if he was wondering he did not give anything away.

"It is tough to say. I … I was pretty out of it."

His answer did not help, but Barbie realized there was really nothing more he could get out of him. He patted his back with a bit more force than needed, just to make sure he remembered who he was talking to or tried to lie too. Turning on his heels he hurried away. Now he only needed to find Julia.

So that was it for now. I hope you liked it! Two more to go from this episode!
