Chapter 4

Now...

Liz suddenly woke up gasping for breath; she now remembered what had happened to get her here in this situation. How did Red do all these things and get away with this.

Red had finally snapped, and now she would never see her home again. Why oh why did Berlin have to take her. Liz knew that Red had feelings for her she just hoped that it was as a friend...not a romantic way.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by hands rubbing their way up and down her arms and waist. Liz thought she was just snuggling into a pillow but it turned out to be Red.

"Shhh...Lizzie, take deep breaths sweetheart. Your safe, none is going to hurt you ever again," said Red in a whisper.

Liz gave a gentle sob. This was true but she knew that she would never be free.

She tried to wiggle free; Red was crushing her with his arms and weight "Red please let me up, your crushing me."

Red gave her one final squeeze and released her. Liz slowly sat up and tried to get away but Red stopped her and grabbed her by the shoulder. She quickly cried out in pain "Oh Lizzie I'm sorry. Let me give you your pain medicine. Don't worry will be off the plane soon."

So Red left to get pain reliever, and Liz took this moment to go to the bathroom to freshen up. She looked in the mirror and saw that she was changed into a blue tank top and a skirt. And someone had lightened her dark-brown hair, and that her hair was no longer long but short.

She was breathing hard now, oh now she didn't even look like herself. How did Red do all this, kept on going through her mind. She looked down at her hand and saw the most beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger.

Now she was hyperventilation, no she couldn't have. Liz hasn't even thought about getting married or dating yet...she just filed and got divorced two days ago.

Arms wrapped around her and kissed her shoulder. Liz looked at Red in the mirror his face in a smile, his head tilted "So beautiful Lizzie...you should keep your hair this short, really brings out you beauty in the face and eyes."

That wasn't why she was hyperventilating "No Red...why is this ring on my finger!"

He chuckled "Lizzie dear calm down, I just saw this in the shop when I went to meet you for coffee and knew that it would just look beautiful on you. And it hides where Berlin took off you ring finger my dear."

Liz looked down and tried to take off the ring, but Red stopped her "No Lizzie, that stays on. I helped patch you up, also your finger works just as well as if nothing ever happened."

But Liz tugged and Red held onto her, she thrashed around and her shoulder burned and she felt a rip. And she stopped at that; Red sighed and shushed her "Lizzie we need to re-bandage you and get pain medicine in your system...please sweetheart don't fight me."

Red picked her up and carried her out of the bedroom on the plane and into the sitting area and sat her on the couch and Dembe handed Red the medical supplies.

Red pulled down the tank top straps pulling the top off and Liz stopped him shaking her head no and grabbing his hand. Red sighed and stopped for a moment saying "Lizzie."

She fought but her energy was still low. Red smiled and continued; that's when she finally saw the full damage. Her shoulder had deep knife cuts where Berlin had tried to cut her up piece by piece, a bullet wound was on the other shoulder that took her down to stop her fighting and trying to escape all together. Tears streaming down her face, Red kissed them away and said "This is one of the many reasons why we need to get away imagine if this happened again and I wasn't there for you...I already lost one wife I won't lose another."

Liz froze at that and gasped out as Red continued to apply the medicine and check her stitches "I'm not your wife."

Red just smiled at that and stopped his work and grabbed her hand with the scar on it; kissed it and whispered in her ear "Not yet you're not."

Liz started to shake "That will never happen, I just think of you as a friend...a work partner...this can never happen. You're a criminal and I'm a F.B.I. agent."

Red grabbed the bandages that Dembe brought them and started to bandage her shoulder and kissed each stitch where he took out the bullet and said "One does not make the other, you are my wife and we will make that official soon as we can. If you can allow yourself to let me love you and show you the other side of me that is a man and not just the criminal you will see that I'm not that bad. I love you Lizzie and you will see that."

Red with that stood up and kissed her head quickly and said "I'll be right back sweetheart. I need to see how long we have before we land. You're going to love where were going, not lonely is it far away from the F.B.I. it's a lovely place and we have our own private land that has a beautiful view with it."
