The remainder of the dinner had gone by quietly and too quickly for Alex's liking. Olivia had signaled the waiter for the check and Ramirez to let him know they would be leaving shortly. Alex had quietly excused herself from the table and made her way to the restroom. She was in there for a few minutes when she heard someone call her name. She spun around and froze in her tracks.
"You were always such a slut" Jess growled as she closed the gap between her and Alex.
"OLIVIA" Alex screamed as she backed into the sink and bit her lip to keep from crying out in pain.
"She can't help you" Jess said as she tightened her fingers around her neck and squeezed "She'll never be able to help you or save you."
"Please please" Alex begged as the tears started to fall from her eyes.
"It's so nice to hear you beg. It reminds me of the times I had you tied to the bed. How you would plead and beg with me to stop. How you use to cry when I told you that you were mine and I would do what I want. That you'll always be mine."
"I'm not yours anymore" Alex spit out as she attempted to shove Jess away from her. If only she could get away from her Olivia could handle her.
"You will always be mine bitch!" Jess said as she pulled her hand back and slapped her across the face "I told you I would kill anyone you were with. How she survived the last time I shot her I have no clue but I promise you that she will not survive the second time."
"Please I'll go with you do whatever you want just please I beg you don't hurt her."
"Aww how sweet" Jess hissed into Alex's ear "That just tells me I will make sure that you watch every second of her suffering before I end it and come for you."
"I swear to god if you hurt her I will kill you myself." Alex growled suddenly fearing for Olivia's safety as she watched Jess start to walk out the door.
"You will do nothing you weak worthless slut." Jess said advancing on Alex.
Alex fought back the tears she felt coming and tried to stay focus on Olivia so not to show any fear or weakness to Jess.
"Oh my god, don't tell me the great fine looking detective is trying to teach you to have a backbone." Jess said with cruel sounding laughter "That is such a fucking joke"
Alex cried out when she felt Jess make contact against her cheek and then grabbed her slamming her into the wall across the room.
"I own you" Jess said as she spit on Alex "Don't you forget it."
"Hey" A woman screamed as she walked in and witness what was happening.
Jess looked up and smirked at the woman at the door. She always found it so funny and pathetic when people tried to save someone, especially someone like Alex. She glanced down and Alex who was curled up in a ball and begging her to stop. She felt such satisfaction seeing this and knew she couldn't wait till the day she watched her stand at Olivia's grave.
"I'm done with this piece of shit anyways." Jess said as she pushed the woman away from the door and left the restroom.
"Ma'am are you ok?" The woman asked as she approached Alex.
"No please don't hurt me I'm sorry."
"Ma'am its ok" The lady said as she reached out to touch Alex but pulled back when she screamed "Allow me to help you. I'm calling the cops now."
"Olivia." Alex stuttered out her body racked with sobs. "Get Olivia."
"Just hold on I'll get her" the woman said as she ran from the restroom and made her way to the middle of the restaurant and screamed "Is there someone here named Olivia?
"I am" Olivia said jumping to her feet and running toward the lady with Ramirez on her tail. "What is it?"
"Come with me" She said grabbing Olivia and pulling her toward the restroom.
Olivia started to pull away and flip the woman on her stomach with her hands behind her back when she realized that she was trying to pull her toward the bathroom. She pushed the lady to the side as she took off to a dead run into the restroom.
"ALEX" Olivia screamed as she looked around the room and saw her curled up in a ball crying. "What is it? What happened?"
"Please leave she'll kill you." Alex cried out as she pushed herself away from Olivia.
"Alex who will…' Olivia started to say when she realized what happened "Jess was here?"
"Leave she's promised to kill you." Alex said nodding.
Olivia stood quickly and started heading toward the door where Ramirez was standing. Before he could react she had grabbed him by his jacket and slammed him into the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" She shouted into his face "YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER."
"I'm sorry ma'am" Ramirez choked out terrified by the amount of anger he saw in Olivia's eyes.
"Sorry isn't good enough" Olivia said as she put her fist into the tile next to his head "Get your ass out there and find that fucking bitch. Do not arrest her drag her worthless ass back here to me. I have a bone to pick with her."
"Detective my orders are…" Ramirez started to say till Olivia literally jerked him off the ground.
"Your orders are to find this damn Jessica Johnson because I promise you if I ever see her like that again" Olivia growled as she pointed at Alex and felt her anger rise to levels she had never felt before "you will never wear the badge again in any state. Do I make myself clear?"
Ramirez nodded as she dropped him to the ground and he literally crawled toward the door trying to get away from the amount of anger he was witnessing.
"Alex" Olivia whispered as she dropped to the floor and slowly approached Alex "Take a few deep breaths and try to relax. You're at Scarpetta's with me and safe now. I am so sorry I left you alone. I swear to you it won't happen again."
"Olivia please leave." Alex pleaded "She wants to kill you."
"Then I suggest that bitch bring it" Olivia growled but stopped and took a deep breath when she saw Alex flinch at her tone. "I'm sorry"
"Liv please she wants to kill you." Alex said looking up into Olivia's eyes.
The fear, pain, and almost soulless like eyes she looked into was Olivia's undoing. She crawled the rest of the distance and pulled Alex into her lap despite her arguments. Once she felt Alex give up in the struggle against her she held her tight and allowed her to cry on her shoulder. As she felt her shoulder become soaked with tears she vowed then and there that she would make damn sure she was the first one to get her hands on Jess.
A/N: Jess has finally made an appearance. Probably not the way you thought the rest of the date was going to go was it. Have to keep you guys on your toes. Thank you so much for the reviews.
