Reliving The Past

Chapter 27

Bobby gets the message to call Elizabeth's room. She calls her.

"Elizabeth?" Bobby asks.

"Yeah. Bobby, do you know how to get in touch with Sonny and Laura?"

"Yeah. In fact I was going to come see you. I tried Audrey, but they have given her something to sleep. Sonny called. They met who they believe was your mother. But she sent them away. They say she seemed pretty cold. They went back to London. They are at a hotel. I have both their numbers and the hotels number. They wanted me to get pictures of your mom and dad. They all have a strange vibe from this lady. Sonny has offered to take the boys to his private island. Just in case. He wouldn't do it without your say. But it's an option." Bobby says, trying to sound hopeful like normal.

"Bobby, that wasn't my mother. I gave them the wrong address. I don't know who that lady was, but I don't know her. She's the one that got all my letters to my parents. And those photos. How did she act?" Elizabeth is getting a strange feeling.

"Well, why don't you talk to Laura and Sonny? They talked to her. And you can maybe tell them the correct address. I have a few things I'm dealing with now." Bobby sounds distracted.

"Does it have to do with that alarm? What is that alarm for anyway? In all my years here, I'm never heard it before." Elizabeth's curiosity was getting to her.

"That was for the hazardous materials spill. We can't figure out how it was set off. There is no short and there is no malfunction." Bobby is distracted.

"Bobby, it might have had something to do with my stalker. Kevin was hit on the head. He might have a brain bleed. I think this stalker was trying to get me. Kevin's in radiology getting an MRI and then emergency surgery. I wish I could go home and get to the bottom of this. Gram's has a body guard doesn't she?" Elizabeth has a growing fear for Audrey. I mean not only was there a hospital serial killer but her stalker is in the mix too.

"Yes. She has a big burly man by the name of Oscar. He's very sweet. He's flirted with me." Bobby giggles.

"Good. I'm sure he knows what he likes." Elizabeth tries to play up the budding romance between them. "Could you bring the paper with their numbers on them when you have a chance? And if you see my Gram before I do, tell her I love her and am thinking of her. I think I will be leaving tomorrow. But I will come check on her every chance I get." Elizabeth feels pulled in 20 different directions. She needs to get this stalker like yesterday. She needed to look after Audrey. She wants her boy's home. And maybe mend the relationship with her parents. Now she was concerned with Kevin and his health. This was getting out of hand.

"I will let her know and be by as soon as I can. Liz, take care of yourself." Bobby says.

"I will. I also have Franco here too. You take care too Bobby." They hang up.

"What did she have to say?" Franco asks.

"They went to the 3437 Summerset Lane address. There was a lady there. She said that she seemed cold. And sent them away. She's going to bring the numbers to me soon. I can call Laura and Sonny then. Find out what happened when they were there. She might have something to do with this stalker. She got my letters, but never sent them back. Possibly the pictures too. I'm really not liking this Franco. Hey, where did the painting that I was working on go?" She looks around.

"Hmm, maybe a nurse moved it to make sure it didn't fall when they were working on Kevin. I'm sure we will find it." Franco says, acting a little nervous.

"Franco, is that the truth?" Elizabeth calls him out.

"No. I'm sorry. I just didn't want you upset. The person who hit Kevin over the head left a message. He or she wrote it on your painting." Franco hangs his head in shame.

"What did it say?" Elizabeth was tensing up. Franco can see it.

"That he was closer. He would see you soon. But not if I have anything to say about it." Franco says. There is a knock at the door. They can see through the blinds that it was Nathan. Dante was at the nerve center where the alarms are located at.

"Hey Liz, how are you doing?" Nathan asks.

"Well, Nathan. I have had better days. Better weeks. Hell, even better years. So have you figured out who it was that triggered that alarm?" Elizabeth puts a hand on her shoulder to try to work the kinks out.

"No, not yet. Dante is there. I wanted to get your account of what happened to Kevin Smith." Nathan looks at her.

"I woke up and started painting. The alarm went off. Kevin rushed in and told me to lock the bathroom door. I heard two men talking. I thought it was Kevin and another man. Then I heard a thump. As if something hit the floor. It was quiet for a short period of time. Then I heard Franco outside the bathroom door. We called for a nurse and doctor. I looked at Kevin while we waited. I noticed a big lump on the back of his head. Doctor Monroe feels it could be a brain bleed. He took him to MRI and then emergency surgery. I was going to try to call his mom. I knew Kevin from Colorado. We went to school together. I know his mom. So I was going to call. But Sonny flew the boys and Laura to England to my parents and there is an issue there. Bobby is bringing by Sonny and Laura's numbers. So I can get his file so I can call his mother. Franco, give him the painting with the message. After you are done with it Nathan, burn it please." Elizabeth gets up and moves around. Pacing as much as she can in the small room. Franco and Nathan step outside where the painting lay propped up against the wall.

"Wow, she's pretty talented. Until this joker messed it up, that would have been beautiful when she was done." Nathan looks at the subject. Then the message. "I'll get a few plain clothes officers to come watch her room. At least until Sonny can arrange for another body guard. Or two. Can you stay with her until then?" Nathan asks.

"Sure. Bobby's bringing Sonny's number when she can. I'm sure he would get her two body guards real quick and let Elizabeth call Kevin's mom. Since they know each other a while back. And he was protecting Liz." Franco says. While they are talking, Bobby rushes up.

"Hey. Dante is still trying to figure out how that alarm was tripped. Wish Lucky was here. He is a genus when it comes to computers. Excuse me, I need to go in and see Liz." Bobby goes right on by and into the room.

"Hi Bobby. How's Gram?" Elizabeth sits up and swings her legs off the bed.

"She's good. Feeling much better. But she's worried about you and the boys. But she's doing better. How are you?" Bobby looks at Elizabeth to see if she sees any indication of lying.

"I'm feeling better. I wish they would let me go home. Maybe this crap would stop here at the hospital. I can't believe they set off the Hazardous Materials alarm. Did they find out how they did it?" Elizabeth looks at Bobby.

"No. They are still looking. I wanted to make sure you are really ok. After what happened to Kevin, I wasn't sure you would be ok." Bobby looks sad.

"I have to call his mother. Let her know what happened. But I have to call Sonny first. Get his mother's phone number. Then I have to explain what's going on with my mother and why they got the funny reception. Hopefully Sonny can hire me another guard. This is getting so out of hand Bobby. The best thing to do is have the cops use me as bait and let them catch this guy." Elizabeth seems all over the place. Like her mind is running is different directions.

"Liz, just call Sonny. Get the number. Tell them the info about your parents. Then call his mother. Then worry about how to catch this nut. Just slow down." Bobby puts her hand on Elizabeth's hand to comfort her.

"Thanks Bobby. I am just in a rush to get this all taken care of, get my boys back and return to my regular life. I feel so tired Bobby. But every time I sleep, I hear Tom's disgusting voice in my ear. If they give me something to sleep, then it's too hard to wake up. I think I will feel safer at home with that alarm system. Be able to see my boy's rooms. Smell their pillows. Hear then and see them on the phone." Elizabeth yawns.

"You better do your calls. Just in case you fall asleep. Feel better honey. I will stop by in a little while." Bobby kisses the top of her head and hands her the paper. Then goes to leave. Out in the hall, Nathan and Franco are still talking. "Franco, I'm not your biggest fan, but if you take care of Liz, then I might just be ok with you. She's calling Sonny now. So she might have a body guard or guards here shortly. You keep working Nathan. This nutcase, no offense Franco, has got to be caught." Bobby says, looking in at Elizabeth.

"No taken." Franco smiles. "Elizabeth trusts me and that's all that matters. But I must say Bobby, I sure am glad you and Lucas are ok. I mean that the serial killer didn't claim you and Lucas. It's good to see you both up and well." Franco says, smiling.

"Thanks." Bobby looks at his suspiciously.

When the confusion clears, Lucky realizes that he has been shot. But so has his target. The young girl was covered in blood. She's crying. Lucky gets to her and tries to tell her that she's going to be ok.

"Shh, it's ok. You are going to be ok sweetie. He's never going to hurt you again. Let's get you out of here." Lucky tries to help her from the room. Back to the room with all the girls. But it was cleared out. His back up team had evacuated the rest of the girls and the room was empty. It looked sad and dingy. So Lucky takes her outside. There is Frisco and a team of bulky men. The girls are all sitting on the ground with blankets around them. The ambulance is pulling up.

"Spencer, you ok?" Frisco asks.

"Yeah, hardly feel it. I think that this blood is the targets. But if you could clean it off her and make sure I would appreciate it." Lucky hands her over and then passes out.
