"Head injury, broken ribs and sprained wrist." Shay said, looking up.
"Family of Gabriela Dawson." Dr Holland called walking into the waiting room.
"I'm her brother." Antonio said, standing up quickly.
"She is going to be fine. She has a head injury which we won't know the extent of until the swelling in the brain has gone down and she is awake. She has a sprained wrist and two broken ribs. Other than that she will be okay. We expect her to wake up in the next 24-48 hours." Dr Holland informed them, leading Antonio down the hallway.
"When can I see her?" He asked.
"I can let you see her for a few minutes now." Holland said, leading him into a room before leaving.
"Gabby. What happened?" He quietly asked, taking a hold of her hand.
"Sir, I'm going to need to ask you to leave as visiting hours are now over." A nurse said, coming into the room.
"Fine. I will see you tomorrow." He said to Gabby, kissing her forehead and taking his leave.
Next day
"Matt! Yeah no change. They said she should wake up sometime today hopefully as the swelling as gone down slightly." Antonio said, pacing outside the fron of the hospital.
"That's good. I will be by after shift. Talk to you later." Matt said before hanging up the phone.
Antonio made his way upstairs to ICU and to his sisters room.
"Sorry sir, the doctor is in there with her right now. She woke up about twenty-five minutes ago." The nurse said, stopping him from opening the door.
"I need to ask her a few questions." He replied, showing her his badge.
"I will go check." She said, walking into the room.
"You can go in now." She said, coming out a few minutes later.
"Thankyou. Hey how are you feeling?" He asked, walking into her room and kissing her forehead.
"Like I've been hit by a truck." She replied, sitting up slightly.
"Do you remember much from what happened?" he asked, sitting next to her on the chair.
"I remember we were responding to a call and I was crossing the street to the ambulance and everything is fuzzy after that." Gabby said, noticing he was writing it down.
"Did you see the driver at all?" Antonio asked.
"No. They had tinted windows." She replied, giving up on sitting up.
"Did you see any number plates?" He asked, pushing for some further information.
"No. I'm sorry, but I don't remember much." She said, looking out the window.
"Okay. I will come back tomorrow and ask some more. When are you letting you go home?" he asked, putting his notebook away in his jacket.
"Sometime tomorrow. How are the kids?" She asked, changing the subject.
"They are good. They want to see you actually, so Laura and I were talking last night over the phone and we were wondering since you are going to need someone to watch you for a little while if you would stay at ours?" Antonio asked, putting his feet up.
"Yeah, that would be great." Gabby replied, pushing his feet off.
"Good. Listen, I have to get back to work but I will come see you before visiting hours are over." He said, getting up and kissing her forehead.
"Okay, will see you later." Gabby replied, watching him walking out the door.
"Oh and Matt should be here soon." He said, poking his head around the corner before disappearing again.
"Great." She mumbled, laying her head on her pillow once again.
Firehouse 51
"Have they found who hit her?" Shay asked, walking into the common room with Boden.
"No. But Antonio is on his way down to speak to all of you about what happened. To see if you can give any insight to what happened and if you saw the number plates or the person driving." Boden informed everyone.
"All I remember is hearing the screeching of tires. But I will do my best." Otis said, sitting down next to Mouch and Pouch.
"Morning all." Antonio said, walking into the common room.
"Good morning. Any news on Gabby?" Shay asked, sitting down.
"Yeah. She is awake. She is released tomorrow, I wanted to ask you all a few questions." Antonio said.
"Briefing room." Boden said, watching his crew make their way down the hall.
"Isn't the Police Fundraiser tonight?" Boden asked, making their way down the hall to the briefing room.
"They moved it to next week instead." Antonio said, walking into the room and standing in front of the group.
"Did anyone see who was driving the vehicle?" Boden asked, standing at the back of group.
"No. The windows were tinted." Shay responded while everyone else shook their heads.
"What about number plates?" Antonio asked, looking around the group.
"TPQW 12." Otis said, remembering.
"Thanks. I will get them to run the plates and see if anything pops. You know what number to call me on if you have any additional information." Antonio said, before taking his leave with Matt following.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Casey asked.
"Yeah sure. Your office?" Antonio asked, as they walked through the bunk room.
"Yeah will be easier." Casey replied, walking into his office with Antonio closing the door.
"What's up man?" Antonio asked, getting straight to the point.
"I found this on my car after the accident yesterday." Matt said, handing Antonio a note.
It read: Told her to watch her back. She doesn't listen.
"Thanks. Will get this to forensics as well. I got the report back from the note left on her bunk. No finger prints apart from hers." Antonio said, pocketing the note.
"Damn. I really hope we catch who this is. Do you have an idea who it might be?" Casey asked, as they walked out of his office.
"Voight. He is the one who has a vendetta against you." Antonio replied. "I will see you later. Go see Gabby after shift."
"Yeah I will." Matt replied, before walking back inside to finish his shift.
Lakeshore
"Hey Gabs." Matt said, walking into her room.
"Hey. How are the others?" Gabby asked, sitting up and hugging him.
"Good. They are worried about you. This is from all of us." Matt said, producing a huge bunch of flowers from behind his back.
"Awh. There gorgeous." She replied, smiling.
"So when is your brother springing you from this place?" He asked, sitting down on the end of her bed.
"Tomorrow. Then I should be back at work sometime next week." Gabby said, picking at a thread on her blanket.
"A bit too soon don't you think?" Matt asked as two kids came running into the room.
"No. Hey Diego, Eva." Gabby said hugging them both.
"I told you two not to jump on your aunty." Antonio scolded, walking into the room.
"It's fine." Gabby said. "Sit still you two."
"I will talk to you later." Matt said, before taking his leave.
"So I talked to your doctor and he said you can go home tonight." Antonio said, sitting down in the chair next to her bed.
"Good. Means I can go back to work at the end of the week." Gabby said, swinging her legs out the side of the bed.
"Where are you going?" He asked, standing up.
"I'm not going home in this now am I." Gabby said, making her way to the bathroom with the change of clothes he brought her from Shay.
"Mhm." he said, sitting back down.
"Where did she go?" Dr Holland asked, walking into the room.
"To get changed." He replied, looking at his watch.
"Hm. I want her off work for the next two weeks." He said, checking her charts.
"What?" Gabby exclaimed.
"How do you feel?" the doctor asked, watching as she sat down carefully.
"I feel alright. I want to go home though." Gabby said, eyeing the doctor carefully.
"We will see how you do during the exam." The doctor said, walking up to her with a torch. "Look at my nose." he said, flicking the light into her eye. She squirmed away.
"That hurts." she mumbled, looking at the doctor.
"Where does it hurt?" He asked, writing it down.
"It just hurts okay." Gabby snapped.
"I wouldn't get on her bad side doc." Antonio warned, hiding a smirk behind his hand.
"Shut it Antonio." Gabby snapped, glaring at her snickering brother.
"Excuse me for a minute." He said, walking out of the room before bursting into laughter.
"Don't mind him. He probably didn't have his coffee this morning." Gabby said, flicking a piece of hair out of her face.
"Fair enough. I will come back tomorrow and we will redo the exam. I'm sorry." He said, before taking his leave.
"Great." Gabby said, swinging her legs onto the bed and laying back.
"Are you okay Aunt Gabby?" Twelve year old Eva asked.
"Yeah sweetie. You wanna go get your dad before he is sent upstairs somewhere because of his laughing." Gabby said, smiling lightly as she watched the young girl walk out of the room.
