Okay so i am officially on vacation now! So, I will try to be writing at any time i can but it will be harder since i'm out of the united states and all my brother wants to do is go out all the time, but I will make it work! I hope you guys like this chapter, things do get worse for Erin and Jay, believe it or not!
"Are you going to get out of the car, Erin?" Jay questioned her, "Because it's kinda predictable."
Erin nodded, "I don't want to go anywhere with you when you're acting like this."
"Erin, can you just listen to me for one minute without interrupting me?"
Erin nodded her head and Jay continued, "You and Liam have a past, and from what I understand, it's a messy one. And, Erin I love you. I really do, but you went in there with a plan, you knew you were going to kiss him, and that's fine, but don't lie to me about it. I get that you still have feelings for him, but you need to sort that out yourself. I will not sit here at your beck and call, Erin. I will do anything for you and you know that, but I will not let you take advantage of my feelings. You either need to do your job as a cop, and arrest Liam, or you can let your past haunt you forever."
Erin had no idea what to say to him. He was right, he was right and she didn't want to admit it, but the only way to move on from this is to accept what he was saying, "Jay, I just don't know what to do." Erin felt the hot tears coming out of her eyes, "I know what I have to do, but what he has on me is worse than what Charlie had."
"What is it?" Jay was curious and he really cared.
"My name isn't Erin Lindsay. And my past isn't really my past…"
"What does that even mean?"
"I took someone else's name, someone who died and was a Jane Doe at the hospital. They never got her name. I came here from New York and my mom didn't have a penny to her name. I got on the streets and started to make money for us doing whatever I could. I met Charlie and you know most of that. But, then Voight got more involved in my life. He was visiting me once a week at my house, unexpected and he never told me when he was coming. If I wasn't there he would search for me, on the streets, and when he didn't find me there he would go the closest hospitals, thinking I was dead or hurt. Well, anyway, the things that happened before I was about 14 years old aren't true. When I was twelve, I never ran away from home and got shot. That was a bunch of bullshit. I needed some things that made me seem tough. But all the things that happened from 14 years old to now are true. I wish some of them weren't, but they are. Until about five years ago I was involved with a drug cartel. I had been there since I was about 16 and then once I joined the unit I was undercover until we took it down."
"You were the one who took that down? I always thought that was just a rumor."
"What that a girl took it down? No, it's true. But, some of the members of that cartel are getting out now. Liam was one of them who got away. He wants my help again and I have given it to him. That's what he's been doing over my house the past few weeks. He has blue prints of different warehouses and wants to know which are the best, like the ones we avoid or don't really look at. And he said if I don't help him he will tell Voight about my real identity and what I've been doing for him."
"What's so bad about your real identity?"
"Nothing except the fact that I've committed identity theft along with more countless crimes. God, Jay were you listening?"
"Yes, I was!" He pulled into the parking the garage of his apartment building.
"I didn't think you were serious about this." Erin sighed.
Jay pulled Erin's bag out of the back of the car, "I can get it." Erin tried to take it from him.
"No, it's fine. You know where my apartment is."
Erin led the way to his apartment while Jay followed behind her. She was so tired all of the sudden and her eyes started to sting. Jay heard something that sounded like metal fall behind him. He looked back and saw someone standing in the dark.
"Erin, take the keys and go into the apartment and lock the door behind you." Jay whispered into her ear and handed her the keys as slyly as he could.
"Jay I am not leaving you here. Hand me my bag and draw your gun."
Jay nodded his head and pulled out his gun. Erin got her gun out and looked behind her where Jay was. Jay shook his head, "Go the other way, so we're back to back."
Erin nodded her head; she couldn't see anything or anyone, "Jay, I don't think there's anyone over there."
"Put your hands up and step out of the dark!" Jay yelled. "We are police officers!"
Erin turned to where Jay was facing, she saw what he saw and it freaked it out a little. It wasn't anyone she recognized, but they still scared her. All of a sudden Jay fell to the ground yelling, she turned around and saw someone in a black hoodie holding a gun and Jay was on the ground holding his leg. There was no bullet would, he must have been struck by the barrel of the gun. Erin backed up and held her gun up, "Put your weapon down!" She yelled over and over again.
The person pulled Jay up and held the gun to his skull, "Erin, we don't want trouble we just want you to come with us."
"Put the damn gun down or I will shoot you!"
"Erin!" Jay yelled as Erin turned around and saw the other masked man behind her and all of the sudden her world went black. When she gained consciousness again she was tied to a chair sitting across from Jay who was also tied up but he wasn't awake yet. She heard a door open and pretended to be asleep still.
"Liam is going to kill you." She heard from a raspy voice.
"I know, I just need to know what she knows." There was a less raspy voiced man.
"You took two cops!" The first man shouted.
"You think they're awake yet?"
"Dude, you have to let them go. Someone is going to notice they are missing. Possibly someone named Voight or someone possibly named Liam! They will join forces just to find Erin."
They knew her name. She didn't like that, it was personal and personal attacks were always worse than random ones. She wasn't going to make it out of this alive.
"Voight can go fuck himself. I am not afraid of him." The second man said.
"You should be! You saw what he did to Charlie man, and what he will do to you and Liam will be way worse." The first man seemed more sensible.
"They will never know it was us. We will get the information we need and we will get rid of them."
"Get rid of them?" The first man questioned.
"Well, we can't let them live, that's for sure." The second man said.
Erin knew this was the way she was going to die. It was going to be Liam's fault she was dead.
