Chapter 11:
Glass pieces were everywhere and in the middle of them lay Eli struggling to get up without cutting himself. Dupree was making his way to the scientist holding him down by the collar and punching him in the face. Lightman made fast movements over to the two men, stopping Dupree's fist before it connected a fifth time with Eli. "Agent Dupree, stop it!" Cal shouted more than ordered. Dupree seemed to have snapped out of his rage, looking down at what he had caused he felt ashamed of himself. He completely lost control over himself. He looked to his left and saw Ria crying. She rushed over to Eli's side; he was semi-conscious and groaning in pain. Gillian went to fetch a first aid kit and Lightman helped Eli up to his feet. "We're bringing him into my office." He said as he led the young man, or more dragged him to his office.
Ria slowly followed the two. "Ria, please wait." Dupree said as he grabbed her shoulder. She looked at him through puffy eyes and said "I think you have done enough damage for today. We will talk later." She now hurried into Lightman's office right after Foster.
Cal has sat Eli on the couch. Gillian started to take a look at his injuries. Ria stood there still numb of the event that just had taken place a few minutes ago. She felt guilty. "Oh it's all my fault. I am so sorry Eli" she said as she sat down next to him stroked his hair. Gillian gave her a glance and said "That is not your fault Ria. How could you have known that Agent Dupree was listening? And you defiantly could not have foreseen that he would react in such a violent manner." Gillian was bandaging up some minor cuts on his lower arms. After she was done cleaning up the blood and applying first aid, they laid him down on the couch. Ria let his head rest on her lap.
"So Torres, what are you going to do?" Cal asked her as he observed her behavior towards the still unconscious man in her lap. She looked up at her boss and shrugged with the shoulders. "I am not sure what to do. Maybe it would be better if I would not have the babies at all." She directed her eyes in a far corner of the office. "No, don't do that. I want them. I want the babies." Eli croaked from his position. His eyes fluttered open but shut again, signing pain. He slowly sat up on the couch and continued "I am the father don't I have a word in this? I am the father, right. That is what you wanted to say in the cafeteria?" He looked at Ria with a stern look on his face. "What are you trying to say? That I am a whore? That I don't know who the father is?" Anger started to rise in Ria. "No you misunderstood. There is a chance that Dupree is the father or not?" He fiddled in his seat. "No, there isn't. I am now 7 weeks along and we met 7 weeks ago. Carl and I always made sure to use protection. Because we both did not want a baby. But you! I thought you took care of it that night!" Ria pointed an accusing finger at Eli. "I was drunk. And it was dark. And I had a hot girl waiting in my bed. And I thought you were on the pill. Every woman is on the pill nowadays!" he defended himself.
"Alright that is enough you two. Discuss this whole personal issue in private. There are still some things I don't want to know. And your drunken intercourse is one of them" Cal said with a firm voice to shut up both of his employees. Gillian laid a hand on Cal's shoulder and said "Ria you should take Loker home. He should rest for the day. Loker take some painkillers and sleep."Gillian's voice left no discussion for any of the other members in the room. Ria shot up from the couch and stomped out of the office. Eli was a bit slower, planning every movement to avoid the pain.
After the two, left Cal turned to Gillian "Well that was quite a show. I hope that this matter will be solved quickly. I don't want to do repairs in here every week. What do you think will happen, Love?" He seated himself on his chair and watched Gillian was she took her seat on the couch. "Well I hope she will keep the babies. Even though I understand the pressure she is under now. I think the bigger question is if she will stay with Dupree, or if he stays with her? Or if Eli and her are going to give their relationship a chance? But don't worry Cal it won't be getting bored here the next months." She just smiled as she looked to the door.
Ria and Eli spent the ride to Elis apartment in silence. Neither one of them had a lot to say. Actually they had a lot to say, a lot to ask each other, but both did not dare to say a word. They stood in front of Elis apartment as he tried to unlock his door. Ria was getting fed up, that he took so long that she took the keys herself and unlocked it herself. As the door swung open she was greeted by the chaotic lifestyle she had vague in her memory. Eli pushed by her and made his way to the bathroom. Ria was left to close the door and carefully maneuver around the apartment not to step on anything. Before she knew it she stood in the living room and kitchen. Or what you could call a kitchen. There were dirty dishes in the sink and piles of packaging of fast food and microwaveable food. Eli came back out of the bathroom with his pill box in his hand. "Sorry for the mess. I didn't have time to clean up."
"Time to clean up? Eli it looks just like it looked when we had sex!" she raised her voice in annoyance. He ruffled through his black hair and gave a goofy grin. He then made his way to the bedroom. Ria followed him and as she entered the room she suddenly had a flashback.
~ Ria felt hot all over. She did not know if it was from all the Tequila she had been drinking that night or the man that was slowly carrying her into his apartment. His head was buried at the base of her neck. Biting and sucking at her tender skin. She took in a sharp breath. Felling aroused. Her vision was blurry and her speech was not very decent either. Suddenly she was tossed onto a soft bed. The man on top of her explored her body with his lips. She tossed and turned her head, inhaled deeply. The covers had the same smell of the guy she met at the club. A smell that was so irresistible. Suddenly she wanted to turn the tables and pushed the man on to his back. They started to kiss, exploring each other mouths. With her hands she started to unbutton his shirt. As she was done with that she marveled at the body before her. She would not have taken him to be that kind of guy. Slowly she dug her fingers in his skin tracing southwards until she reached the rim of his jeans. These wonderfully tight fitting jeans. Even before she was drunk she had spotted the ass that was hidden under the fabric~
