AN: I am so sorry for not updating for such a long time! I never wanted to be one of the people that take forever to update but now I am. But University took up so much of my time this semester but luckily term break is starting in august and I will try to write as much as possible so I can upload a new chapter even, when I have less time to write again during the semester.

So enjoy the summer with new chapters

Chapter 6:

He went up to the front desk and asked if Ria has already left the building. The secretary just shook her head and Dupree stormed into the direction of the research room. Eli just shouted after him: "She's not in there. That is where I came from." And with that Eli walked into the other direction to Gillian's office. His ribs were hurting like hell and his face was starting to swell up. He must have looked like he got the crap beaten out of him. It was a fact, that he got the crap beaten out of him. He had no chance against Dupree from the beginning. The rage must have driven him to such an irrational act.

Gillian just left her office and wandered down the hall as she saw Eli limping her direction and right after him Dupree. She noticed the dirt on Elis clothing and that he looked beat up, but she never would have taken Eli for the ruffian type. "Dr. Foster where is Ria. I need to talk to her." Eli said signing his distress of the situation. Just then Dupree was standing behind Eli also demanding to see Ria and needing to talk to her. Gillian answered calmly "She is resting right now. You should not disturb her. She is under enough stress right now. I would appreciate it, Agent Dupree, if you would go back to the FBI Headquarters and you Mr. Loker you should get yourself looked at by a doctor." "I don't have the time to go see a doctor. I need to see Ria. Now!" Eli started shouting in his rage and slammed his fist in the wall they were standing nearby. He regretted it right away, feeling the pain after bruising it already by the punch at Dupree.

He sunk down on his knees holding his hand. Gillian knelt down next to her young employee, laying a hand understandingly on his shoulder. "Loker. Eli. Come on you should see a doctor. I will get Cal do drive you to the ER." Eli opened his mouth to argue about not wanting to go to the ER, but just closed it again nodding slightly. Gillian nodded to Dupree to follow her orders and he turned and left again. Gillian took out her phone and dialed Cal's number, not wanting to leave Eli alone on the hallway. Lightman strolled out of his office and just looked down on his employee on the floor. "Cal please get him to the ER and make sure he is getting examined." Gillian told him giving him every hint on how important that matter was to her, also signaling if he did not do how he was told that she would tear him apart in mid air.

Cal understood long ago that Gillian saw the Group of them as a family. Himself, Emily, Loker and Torres were for her the family she couldn't have. He put one arm under Elis and helped him up. Gillian watched the both men walk to the garage. Cal supported Eli with walking, getting into the car and fastening his seatbelt. As the older man started the car and was driving down to the street to the hospital he asked "How did you get so hurt Loker? It is not typical of you to get physical damage." Eli just stared at his feet without saying a word. But Lightman did not want to resign on this matter and he could get anybody. "Eli" was all it took to get the younger man explaining his situation to his boss.

"I don't know why but I got so angry, that my whole brain just stopped working." Eli finished. His boss patiently listened to him. They have arrived at the ER now and Lightman was walking him into the building. At the reception they were given the form to fill out. Eli took the pencil and started to write down all the asked facts, but flinched and let it fall down. He has seriously hurt his right hand. Lightman just took the clipboard from Elis lap and picked up the pencil, starting to fill out for him.

It was quite for some time. Suddenly Lightman started "Well Loker. For me there is only one possible explanation for your behavior. You fell in love with Torres. You don't only desire her sexually but also emotionally. And of what I got to see, your feelings are not biased." Eli only looked up at Lightman.

Finally Eli was called up to the examination room. Lightman helped the man up and walked him to where a doctor would be seeing him. He sat Eli down and wanted to leave the room but Eli gave him a look of a lost puppy. Eli did not want to stay alone in the room with the doctor. Since he was a kid he had a fear of hospitals and doctors. He could not explain his juvenile fear but it was there. Even though he was embarrassed to be this weak and open in front of his boss, Lightman was the only person in this god forsaken hospital he could trust.
