His Worst Nightmare.
Chapter 15.
Alex maintained her CPR for about another 5 minutes, then Gorens heart
began beating again. It would seem the Lorazepam did it's job. I just sat
and waited for everything to settle and the questions I knew she was going
to ask. It would take a while for the bus to get here, that would take him to
the nearest hospital. So all I could do was go and check on Wallace. It
would seem that she wouldn't get to experience my special service to serial
killers and given her past record, this time the evidence was damming. No
jury would let her walk from this one.
Alex could feel the panic rising, she had no idea why Dexter Morgan was
here but she was thankful, after what had seemed like forever to her, she
could finally feel a pulse and Bobby started breathing again. It caused her
to think things over thoroughly, she had sworn she would never fall for
another cop after she lost Joe, but deep down she knew she already had.
That she had almost lost him too, and even though she had never let him
know her feelings for him, the pain she had felt when she thought she had
lost him was just the same.
She sat there cradling Bobby in her arms. His body temperature seemed to
be regulating itself back to normal, and his breathing was deep and steady.
She hoped that he would soon regain consciousness.
She looked over at Dexter Morgan, she was grateful that he was here, but
she was also a little bit puzzled as to why he was there.
Dexter had been watching them the whole time, he could see how much
she cared for her partner. When he saw her look at him and a puzzled
frown appear on her face he knew it was time for him to try and explain
why he was here.
"How is he?" Always try an open up a pleasant dialogue first he thought.
"Seems to be ok now, how come…..?"
"I'm here? Well… I went back to your hotel,I botched Gorens blood sample
and needed to run another test, when I saw Goren leave your hotel room,
I saw that there had been a struggle and I rushed down and followed him."
He carefully watched her face for any negative reactions to his story, and
breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her nod.
They didn't have any further chance to talk as Goren started to regain
consciousness. All her attention was then focused on him, so I decided to
go and check on our prisoner.
His first thought was 'where on earth am I, and why did somebody use a
jackhammer on my head', when he opened his eyes it felt like a million
white hot pins were trying to poke his eyeballs so he quickly blinked a few times till the pain subsided. When he thought it was safe again, he opened
them again and found himself looking into a pair of beautiful almond
brown eyes full of concern, he saw her lips moving but his brain still
wasn't fully back online and functioning and for a while he stared at her
lips in a near state of hypnosis.
Alex was watching him, and growing concerned that he wasn't answering
her question. So remembering the way he would tilt to get into a perps
face, she leaned her head to the side till his eyes focused on her eyes and
not her mouth.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
He was broken from his spell of hypnosis, when Alex tilted her head
copying his interrogation method of getting attention. He couldn't stop
himself from grinning at her. Then he heard her question, and answered it
by slowly nodding his head, which was a really bad idea because it felt as if
his head was about to he heard the sirens approaching,
everything went fast after that, the paramedics helped him into the back of
the bus, and Alex climbed in with him as soon as she saw the State-
Troopers place a handcuffed Nicole Wallace in the back of their cruiser.
They then started to take a statement from Dexter Morgan.
Alex sat in the bus and couldn't stop grinning at Bobby as he gave the poor
paramedic a really hard time, it seemed as though he had met his match.
She was about 40 and very obviously experienced with difficult patients.
However she couldn't stop herself from laughing when the paramedic told
Bobby he was worse than a ten year old brat. It had worked too, Bobby
stopped being difficult and began following her instructions.
When they wheeled him into a cubicle Alex excused herself and called the
homicide department to inform them of their whereabouts and what had
happened.
It had been a long day. Captain Hannah had also called in, after he had
been informed of what had happened. All Alex was waiting for now was
that the doctors finish the tests they were running on Bobby, then they
could make their way back to the hotel. Needless to say that Bobby had
refused to be kept in overnight for observation. It was now 10 pm and
their cab had just dropped them off at their hotel and they had both
entered Bobby's room.
Alex turned to Bobby who had left himself fall on the couch, " How you
feeling?"
" I feel like I wanna get outta here. Just get to the airport and fly out.
I wanna get a big bottle of whiskey and just forget everything." Bobby let
out a big breath then bent over and held his head in his hands.
Alex walked over and sat down next to him.
"Captain Hannah said once we have given our statements, we can climb on
the next plane home. Only thing we need to do then is return for the court hearing. She won't get away with it this time. It's murder one and
abducting a police officer and…." Alex couldn't finish the sentence.
So Bobby finished it for her. " Two counts of rape?" He almost spat it out
when he said it. " It's ok Eames, you go and get some sleep." As he got up to
walk away, Alex grabbed his arm. "Oh no Bobby, not again. You're not in
this alone. I won't let you push me away again. I'm not going to let you
deal with this on your own."
"Eames, if you haven't noticed, I'am on my own it is how I deal with this
kind of thing. it's the only way I know." Alex didn't release his arm so he
sat back down again.
"Bobby, do you trust me?" She seated herself back down next to him.
"Of course I do, with my life, Alex I won't burden you with the wreck that
is my life ok. I already managed to screw up your career."
"Now I know why your shoulders are so broad, I could have ended this
partnership at anytime Bobby. You had to take the blame from a very early
age, but it isn't going to continue. I can't let you go on like this anymore.
Your not alone Bobby, I'am right here and I won't ever leave you. I nearly
lost you today, and it scared me to death. It made me realize I can't live
without you. I swore never to fall in love with another cop, I fell in love
with you years ago. I learnt today that I can no longer hide my feelings
from you, it's ok if you don't feel the same way about me Bobby. We can
continue to be just partners. I'm here for you and always will be."
Alex couldn't bear to look at Bobby after she confessed everything. She
released his arm and turned to get up and go, when she felt his hand
gently grab a hold of her arm. He gently pulled her so that she was again
facing him on the couch, she still couldn't meet his gaze. He gently hooked
his finger under her chin and raised her face up so that she was looking
into his eyes. He watched her face for any sign that told him she was being
dishonest, and all he could see was love. He could definitely drown in her
beautiful brown eyes, he left his gaze wander down to her lips, they looked
so so soft and he couldn't suppress a shudder when she raised her hand
and stroked his cheek. He never imagined that Alex could have feelings for
him he knew he loved her. He slowly closed the gap between them, and
brushed his lips over hers. He was right her lips were very soft.
Alex had to close her eyes when she felt Bobby kiss her lips. She ran her
hands behind his neck and pulled him closer, then ran her tongue along
his lower lip begging for admission, which he granted her. After that
things became a blur she climbed onto his lap unable to break the kiss.
She started to pull his t-shirt up she needed to feel his skin, she broke the
kiss and realized just how breathless she had become, as soon as the t-
shirt was removed she continued to kiss him, this time trailing a path over
his lips, his jaw and to his ear, her hands stroking through the soft hairs
on his chest, she couldn't get enough of him.
Bobby was going to have a sensory overload, Alex was driving him crazy, when he felt her nip at his ear, he finally stopped to think and acted.
With a growl he grabbed her by the hips and pulled her tighter onto his lap
then he went about removing her tank top, all the while Alex was grinding
against him and driving him crazy. He knew he would have to stop this
before he lost total control. With great self control he broke their embrace
and rested his forehead against hers. Pulling her tight in his arms.
"Alex, I love you too but I can't do this now. I .. look I was raped twice, and
I need to know that everything is ok. I'm gonna let the doctors run tests
to make sure I haven't caught anything. Only then can I make love to you ."
He leant closer and softly kissed her.
"Well I have waited the best part of 9 years, I guess a few days will be a
piece of cake. Jesus who am I kidding." So she grabbed him and kissed
him so hard it took his breath away.
They spent the next day finalizing statements. Goren went and said thanks
to Dexter, he asked him about him being there and got the same story that
Dexter had told Alex, and although he saw that Dexter was very good in
showing little, in way of tells, he couldn't hide the fact that he was lying to
Goren.
He intrigued Bobby, but his flight back to NY was leaving in three hours
and he definitely didn't want to miss it. He had been to the hospital and
had run some tests, the results of which would be faxed to him.
His worry now was, the fact that Nicole could be pregnant from him.
