The TV is on, everybody at the hospital is watching it.
"We have new news about the explosion from last year. A terrorist group is demanding money for the return of two soldiers that had been off base when the explosion happened, and a doctor that is the sister of one of them. It seems the sister went to Iraq to find them, and in the process got caught herself. We will have more news tonight at nine, now to Jim with sports,"
"Do you think it's her?" Mark asks the blonde.
"Has to be. She hasn't called back in almost a week after she said she was checking a place out," Teddy answers.
"A week? Why aren't you out there looking for her?" Mark questions.
"She said to give it a month before I did anything drastic," Teddy mumbles.
"How do you know it's her that they are talking about?" the man asks.
"I don't, so if you excuse me, I have to go make some calls," with that Teddy walks away.
"I don't give a fuck! I know she's there! I can fucking hear her!" Arizona yells at the officer.
"Ma'ma, please stop," he says calmly.
"I want to talk to Teddy!" the blonde yells.
"I know Altman, but I can't allow you to talk to her. You shouldn't even have this number, now we have to move her," the man says into the phone.
"Teddy I found them! I found them!" Arizona screams in the man's ear.
"Are you okay?" Teddy's voice yells from the other side.
"Yes, I've only got a few minor injuries," Arizona yells back.
"And that will be all Doctor Altman," the man says, hanging up.
"I hate you," Arizona mumbles, sitting down on the uncomfortable couch.
"Good thing my job is to keep you safe, not to be your friend," he chuckles.
"You're an asshole sometimes," Arizona says.
"I'm just doing my job," he chuckles.
"And I thank you for doing it, to other people," Arizona says.
"That's nicer than what most people say," he laughs.
"So when can I see him again?" Arizona asks.
"After they get done with their treatment. It took a lot for us to get you out of there,"
"Yeah I know. You guys busted in and killed a whole bunch of the bad guys," Arizona recalls.
"Yeah, they did do that."
"When can I see Callie?"
"I told you,"
"I'm just happy she was alive. I never got to see her you know, they kept us in different rooms… I could hear her screams," Arizona mumbles, biting her bottom lip.
"Wait, you haven't seen her yet?" he questions, surprise evident in his voice.
"No, but it's okay. As long as she is alive, I can be strong," Arizona nods, looking to the ground.
"I'm sorry," the man mumbles.

"So tell me again, from the start," the doctor says gently.
"Is this the last time I have to?" Callie asks.
"Yes, I think that you can be put among others and not be a danger to anybody," she says, calmly and thought out, like always.
"Okay," Callie takes a deep breath before starting to retell the story once again.
"Me and Tim had a video call with his parents,"
"Who all was there?" the doctor asks.
"Arizona, Barbara, Daniel, and Teddy were all on the other side," Callie informs again.
"Go on," she encourages.
"Tim and I were both in the room, his parents said that they love him and said goodbye to me. At that point Tim left the room, allowing me alone time with Arizona,"
"Arizona is a romantic interest?"
"Arizona is my girlfriend. I've told you that a million times," Callie rolls her eyes.
"Okay, continue,"
"I talked with Arizona for a little bit, then Tim came in and kicked me out because he wanted to talk to Teddy, his girlfriend. I went outside and I waited for Tim to come back out. When he came back out he was different, distinct,"
"I'm sorry, what day was this?"
"Christmas, anything else I need to answer, or are you going to let me tell what happened?" Callie asks.
"This is going on permanent record. I need this to be as clear as it can be," the doctor responds.
"Well I don't know the days anything else happened, so good luck with that," Callie shoots back.
"That's fine," she says.
"So he wanted to go for a run, so I went with him,"
"You're forgetting something," she interrupts.
"He kissed me. He did it because I was yelling at him to tell me what happened. Then I ran with him for a while. I don't know how far it was, but I remember people whispering about us, looking at us. It's not uncommon for them to talk about us so I didn't think anything of it. Anyways, we finally came to a stop and he told me that he and Teddy broke up. I hugged him and told him I love him," she takes a deep breath.
"Then what happened?" the doctor urges.
"We heard a boom. We immediately started running toward it, trying to help. We got close to our base and that's when we were fired upon,"
"By who?"
"Hell if I know. I'm guessing they saw us leave and followed us. Anyways we took cover as best we could, but there wasn't anywhere to go. I got hit in the shoulder. Tim took one to the leg. We did all we could, but our bullets ran out. I wanted to keep fighting, but Tim said it was useless,"
"And was it?"
"Yes, we would have been shot to death if we haven't surrendered,"
"Then what happened?"
"They knocked me out. Hit me on the back of the head with the butt of their gun. When I came to I was tied up and on a table. I had stitches on my shoulder and there was a man, huge with muscles that stood up even when he was relaxed, sitting in a chair. He started asking me questions,"
"What type of questions?"
"Some personal, some stuff I didn't know. I refused to answer any of them,"
"And what did he do?"
"He beat me. First with his hands, then he got a whip. He beat me until I passed out. When I woke up there was another guy, he was scrawny, I could break him over my knee if I wanted to. He fed me some food and gave me some water, then he put in some stitches, very crude though, I could tell he was not experienced with putting them in,"
"Do you have scars from this?"
"Yeah, but he never touched my face, which I thought was a little odd at the time, but I understand that it must have been so we would be easily recognized,"
"He never touched your face?"
"Not at the start. I can't tell you how many days it was, he'd come in and ask me questions. I'd refuse to answer them everyday. He'd beat me until I passed out, then I was stitched up enough to live and given some food,"
"Then what changed?"
"Then he came in and started saying that Tim told him everything, and that they didn't need me anymore. So I told him that I was a Torres. That if they ever needed money that I would be the one that would get them money, not Tim,"
"So he kept you alive?"
"Yeah, sometimes when I woke up I'd find Tim waiting for me. He told me that if I just answered their questions that they would let me walk around, that I wouldn't be beaten anymore. I just couldn't answer them. It's not who I am. I don't give in no matter what,"
"So you're saying Tim is weak?"
"No. Tim did what he thought he needed to. They were probably more willing to kill a man than a woman, they knew how America works, and they knew that a women got more money than a man,"
"So what next?"
"After what must have been months the guy came in and started yelling. He usually was calm and asked me things calmly, but he was just crazy. He was asking what I did to tell her I was here. I didn't know what he was talking about. He left the room and I heard him beat Tim. Then the beatings stopped for a few days,"
"A few days?"
"Yeah, then he came back in. He came in and he beat me worse than ever before. Until then he had never," Callie bites her bottom lip, "he had never touched me,"
"Touched you?" the doctor asks quietly.
"He raped me. Told me I was a slut and other degrading words," Callie says, her voice so much stronger than what she is feeling.
"Then what happened?"
"Then the army came in. Somehow they found us. I got saved. I don't know how but I did," Callie says.
"Thank you Miss Torres, that is all we will need from you,"
