Gabby's POV
Shay and I sat in the back of the ambulance doing inventory. It was silent till Shay spoke
"How are you doing?" She asks "you know with all that's going on"
I look up a from my clipboard "I'm fine" I tell her not really wanting to talk about it, I look back down at the clipboard hoping Shay would get the hint she does because the last thing she says is
"You know Kelly and I am here for you if you want to talk"
I nod "thanks Shay. I'll put you up on that offer." I smile at her before going back to inventory. As we finish up the alarm rings calling us to a women in distress. We jump into the front and are off.
Arriving back I see we have five minutes till shift is over I decide to change out before I go and find Matt who is in his office working on the report from today.
"Hey" I say leaning against the door frame
"Hey" he says looking up from his paperwork "how was the call" he asks
"It was good. The women should be fine"
"Good good, I should be done soon then we can go. Do you want to grab some take out tonight?"
"Yeah that sounds good" I tell him
I wait in the common room for Matt to finish his paperwork as I wait I can't help my mind from wandering to seeing Ben at the accident scene. I knew Antonio and Jay were doing what they could to catch this guy but I had that feeling Ben was following me and Matt. I was lost in thought I hadn't heard the door open or footsteps behind me
"Ready" a voice said gently touching my shoulder
I jumped quickly turning around I noticed Matt standing behind me "Jesus Matt, you scared me" I tell him
"Sorry about that" he says "you ready"
"Yeah" I say getting up and following him to his truck.
The ride home is silent as I was still thinking about Ben. Matt stops to pick up Chinese for us before we finish the drive home. He parks the car before turning to face me he places his hand on mine"
"Gabby are you okay?" He asked concerned
"Yeah just have a lot on my mind" I tell him
Matt knows there's more but decides to leave it. "Come on let's go inside"
I nod before opening my door and getting out I wait by the passenger door for Matt to come around before heading up the steps to his house when we get closer to his door I get this weird feeling that something's not right. Matt unlocks his door and when he opens it I gasp
Matt's POV
The ride home was silent. Gabby stared out the window, I pull up to the Chinese restaurant close to my house to pick up our food. When I get back in the car I put it in drive and head back to my place. I don't say anything to Gabby as I don't know what to say to make it better for her. When we get to my house I turn to her before she gets out of the truck
"Are you okay?" I ask
"I'm fine just have a lot on my mind" she answers
I know there's more but decide not to push her as I know she will talk when she's ready
"Let's go inside" I tell her
She nods as she gets out of the truck. I grab the food and get out before walking around to her side. We walk up my steps together. I place my key in the lock and turn it. When I open my door I hear Gabby gasp. My eyes widen as I walk in my house everything is a mess. Clothes are thrown all over. Chairs are overturned and glass is broken I walk further in the house to see what else is damaged leaving Gabby in the doorway. My bedroom is a mess
"Oh my god" I hear Gabby cry I quickly run out of my bedroom to where Gabby was standing looking at the wall I come up behind her and see what she was staring at and I suddenly got angry in red paint that represented blood was a message
Gabby remember you belong to me
"I'm gonna call Antonio" I say as I pull away to make the call. Gabby just nods as she can't speak.
"Hey Antonio it's me Matt, could you come down to my house it's an emergency." I hang up and walk towards Gabby I pull her in a hug "it's gonna be okay" I whisper into her hair. She nods as we continue to hug the Chinese food forgotten.
We stay like that till there's a knock on the door I pull away to go answer it. Opening the door I see Antonio and Jay on the other side
"I got your message is Gabby okay" Antonio says stepping into my house
"Not really" I tell him "Ben was here"
I point out the note on my wall for Antonio to read. Jay takes the evidence Camera and takes a picture to use as evidence.
Antonio walks over to Gabby and hugs her while myself and Jay stand back. The hug ends and Antonio leads Gabby to the couch Jay and I follow. I sit next to Gabby on one side, while Antonio takes the other Jay stands in the front of the room his hands in his pocket.
Antonio started speaking
"I think it's best if you too find a different place to stay. Just till this is over" Antonio said
"What are we going to do about work?" Asked Gabby "I can't miss work"
"I understand that Gabby but right now your safety is whats important"
Antonio tried to reason with Gabby
"I'm not leaving" shouted Gabby standing up "I ran away from this guy once I'm not going to do it again" she walked out of the living room mad.
"Gabby" I call out but I'm ignored. I turn to Antonio "is there another option" I ask
Antonio looks at Jay.
"We can place you guys in a hotel room with police protection. And, we can have police protection at your work till this guy is caught" Jay said
I nod my head I'm about to say more till Gabby walks in she takes a seat next to me. I place my arm around her shoulder.
"I'm going to call and see if we can set you up in a room tonight" Antonio said he pats Gabby's knee before walking out of the room.
