His phone rings and at first he thinks nothing of it. It's when he sees that the number is blocked that his interest if piqued. He gets up slowly, leaving Nate to think of ways to find Parker, and heads into the other room.
"Eliot?" A familiar voice asks on the other end of the line. "We need to talk." He almost drops the phone in shock as he realizes who he's speaking too.
"Melissa?" He questions, needing to make sure.
"You know what they say about payback, Eliot?" She laughs and he freezes. "It's a bitch."
She hangs up.
His mind can't process what is going on for a few seconds. Melissa . . . He feels anger boil up within him, but realizes that this is his fault to begin with. When he had left to go and deal with his past, what he had actually been doing was repaying a debt to Thomas, Melissa's husband. Thomas . . . Eliot had owed him for so much. He had saved Eliot's life, after all. It was just supposed to be one more job and then Eliot could finally put this behind him.
Thomas had died on that last job; Melissa had blamed him.
And now she had Parker.
