Dr. Greene wouldn't be letting Christina go home. But The hospital had moved her again and even made sure there was a limited visitor list. Christina was sedated due to the panic attack she had seeing Nick's face. Elliot just stood by the glass window and watched her sleeping.
He wished he knew how to save her from all of this craziness but had no idea where to begin. He looked out the window wondering about Jack and if he was in Jail for real or was he out again. He watched the world below them move and lives just move on while theirs stood still in terror.
Elena was sitting in her club watching the people. Watching who came and who went. She wanted to have words with a few people whom she knew could cost her a lot, like her partnership with Christian.
She could see the main stage. Harmony was dancing but not with the same passion and interest she use to. It was like the light had been fading from her since Cherish aka Christina wasn't around after her attack.
Elena had been finding out all her information second hand through Christian because she was to scared to go see her. She blamed her self because she was in business with Nick to run the Sex Dungeon above the VIP rooms. Not to mention letting Jack back into Christina's life again when she was once rid of him.
Harmony was finishing her set and could see Nick in a corner booth waiting on her. Elena tapped the glass window for Harmony to come see her first. Nick glared up at Elena and then just smirked. Elena shook her head and spun around making herself a cocktail and Harmony one too.
Harmony gathered her money off the stage and went into the back grabbing her robe. She never told Elena the kind of trouble she was in with her habit. Nick Controlled her life because he fed her habits like he fed others at the Club. He was using this club as his playground to let Elena have her place.
Harmony knocked on the door as it was slightly opened and said "Ma'am"
"Come In Come In. Close the door behind you" Elena said lighting up a joint for them to share.
Harmony smiled and closed the door behind her and asked "Is everything okay Ma'am?"
"I don't know you tell me. You aren't my normal go to girl when Cherish isn't here." Elena said offering her the cocktail and a seat.
Harmony denied the drink because she too was pregnant again. It was Nick's much like her first son was. She lead her man tyrone to believe he was his. But now Tyrone was in Jail and there was no other Answer.
"I am fine Ma'am. I am on a cleanse." Harmony said taking the seat. next to Elena.
Elena handed her the joint and said "Good for you. But For real is everything okay with you."
"Yeah I am just worried about Chris. She's been through enough and she was just finally getting her happy back when I saw her." Harmony said smoking the joint with Elena.
Elena raised her eyebrow and asked "When did you see her?"
"When she woke up. Chicago told me she was awake and i had a chance to see here while i was seeing my OB." Harmony said handing her the joint back after taking a fat hit.
Elena smirked and asked "Oh How did that go?" already knowing that she had a scare before tyrone went to Jail.
Harmony closed her eyes and said "As it could be expected. I am pregnant."
"And it's not Tyrone's?" Elena asked before taking a hit scared to know the answer knowing she would be in Nicks web of bullshit forever now.
Harmony just said "Nope' popping the P
Elena just wrapped her arms around her and said "I am so sorry I wish there was a way out."
"There is Chris on a platter broken alone unhappy and a Junkie the they can use up." Harmony said laying her head in Elena's lap.
Elena just looked behind her and could see Nick just texting away on his phone to someone.
Christian and Ana explored his more. But once she confessed his love for him. He instantly rejected her feelings. Begging her not to love him because as he punished her. He could see the same marks that his Twin had and was getting disgusted at himself for what he had done to this innocent.
Christian was at his piano playing a somber melody as he could see his phone light up. But he was ignoring it for now. He was sulking and upset he let the one woman he might be able to actually love aside because he saw himself as the monster.
He knew he may never feel his sister pain but he felt disgusted at the men who did this. Men who were like him.
The elevator dinged and it was Taylor returning from taking Ana home.
"Miss Steele is back home at her apartment." Taylor said seeing the bottle of whiskey on the piano.
Taylor knew this heartbreak would be bad. He had seen many come and go. Many who wanted more but never got it. He thought Ana might have been different for Christian.
Christian took the swig of whiskey from his glass and said "How did she seem?"
"excuse me sir" Taylor asked. Knowing Christian had never asked this about any of the others.
Christian asked again. "How Did she seem?"
"Much like you do right now heartbroken." Taylor said with a heartfelt sigh hating to see him like this.
Christian poured himself another drink and said "She said she loved me. ME...How can she love ME...I am just like the monsters who tortured my twin while i lived blissfully happy in my ivory tower."
Christian threw the glass against a wall and just was so lost without her.
Taylor said "You are not like those men. You are better than them in everyway. They are Animals and we will bring them down."
"Yeah right." Christian said taking his phone along with Anas and went off to bed to sleep.
Christian just wanted to dream but he had a gut feeling he should verify something Just in case His sister wasn't just seeing thing. But He was to drunk to deal with that moment.
He grabbed Ana's pillow and cried himself to sleep. He hoped and even prayed he didn't need her. he just wanted to go back to his normal life before she laned in his doorway and turn his life around.
As Christian slept he tossed and turned having a nightmare.
I can smell apples. Mom is in a good mood and maybe the man who give her her medicine would be there to hurt sister. Sister is sitting in the corner.
Mom said she was bad again because she puked up breakfast yesterday on one of mommies male friends that want to play with her.
I never knew what it meant but i felt alone when the men would play with her. I use to here her cry till he got me headphones.
I didn't like him he smelled of smoke. I could never look him in the eye but he always forced me to.
He forced me see his face and reminded me of who ran our house the day i asked him to stop hurting my sister when he played with her.
All I can see is that smirk and the one gold tooth he had in his mouth.
Christian woke up in a cold sweat and texted Elliot, Taylor and The two guards watching over her to contact him.
He knew that smirk that cop gave Ana looked familiar outside.
Christian's phone went off as he went out to the kitchen to have a glass of water. He Opened it and it was a picture from Elena. It was Jack and Nick inside her club in a corner booth laughing it up.
Taylor who was down the hall in his quarters was the first one to answer the call. Christian just shook his head just dropping the phone. Taylor glazed over at it and seeing the texts between him and Elena and Christian telling her Jack was going to jail.
The text was just the picture and Taylor was disgusted. Christian felt sick to his stomach not noticing the guy before. Christian grabbed his phone blew up his brother's phone
Elliot was just getting comfortable watching Christina fast asleep. He felt his phone going off in his pocket vigorously. Grabbing it out of his pocket he see it was Christian blowing it up.
Elliot just wanted to sleep and keep Christina safe. He pulled his phone and said "Yes my wonderful brother."
"Jack never got booked." Christian said still sitting at counter.
Elliot rubbed his face and stepped out of the room and went into the stairwell.
Elliot Asked aggressively "How?"
"Christina was right. Nick the man that had and or has been trafficking her with Jack. That Cop that came to talk to use outside. I knew I remembered his face. That's Nick" Christian told his brother.
Elliot sighed and said "Fuck Me Chris can catch a break on anything. Doc doesn't want her to leave till Monday but if Chris knows what we know she is gonna disappear again."
"She's under lock and key gonna be hard for her to do." Christian said wishing he could keep Ana the same way for her safety with this mess.
Elliot leaned on the railing and said "You don't know your twin resource full that one. She is already beating herself up for serving Ana on a platter to Jack.
"I don't want to think about that right now." Christian said trying not to think about Ana but that is all he could do.
Elliot let out a sigh and said "I get it. But what do we do because they aren't gonna stop till they get her back."
"I know men like them they stick to the same habits. Do you think you could go talk to Elena? Since you've been out to the club." Christian asked his brother to scope it out and see if he saw anything or heard anything.
Elliot said with force "Not until she is home. I am not giving them the opportunity to get a camera in there or a body near her."
"If I come stay with her will you go?" Christian said almost in a beg.
Christian didn't want to need Elena anymore and he knew his brother wasn't about the lifestyle. HE was a good clean boy who only knew Elena because of Christina.
"What about Ana? She just got home I am sure she wants your attention more." Elliot said taking a seat on the steps.
Christian ran his fingers through his head and said "I can't sleep and she will understand."
Elliot wanted to punch a wall because everyone should of believed Christina and what she said.
"I know the feeling. They have her sedated and she twitches like she's having a nightmare. It scares me." Elliot said finally feeling on some brotherly level with Christian.
Christian whispered "Like me..."
"What?" Elliot said not hearing what Christian just said.
Christian cleared his throat and said "Ill sent Taylor with you while I sit with Christina. He knows more about this nick guy than i do."
Elliot stood up and went back to Christina's room. Where she once laid was empty and the monitors beeps. She was stealth about it and bolted heading to the strip club to talk to Elena herself.
"Shit!" Elliot said knowing where she is head.
Christian could hear the franticness in his voice and said "What Elliot?"
"She Bolted Christian...She Bolted." Elliot said taking the stairs down to the lobby.
Christian started to pull his hair a bit and just said "Fuck..Where Are you going?"
"Elena's...If Christina bolted she went there first. Jack stole her money from the car he bought her. But she always kept a seperate stash with Elena." Elliot said with a sigh.
Christian said "Lets be realistic now Elliot. How does she get there no money no car nothing."
"Your sister is resourceful I promise you that. So anything is possible much like with you." Elliot said trying to catch his breath making it outside where it was raining.
He heard squealing tires and looked around.
Christian said "I am gonna stay with Ana. Let me know it you find her."
"I Will..Send Taylor here first. She took my car." Elliot seeing his blacked out spyder peeling out.
Taylor nodded his head as Christian hung up his phone and pushed it away from him. He couldn't believe how a like he and his twin were. They needed the same woman for different things.
Elena was watching Nick and Harmony in the booth disgusted at what she was seeing wondering how Christina was dealing with everything. She decided to step outside and see a blacked out spyder and only knew one of its kind.
She shook her head and said "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with her."
Christina parked the car shaking her head and scared shitless. She was bleeding from her arm from pulling the iv and meds out of her arm. She was wearing scrubs and one of Elliots Jackets that was in the car.
Elena walked up to the car and opened the door seeing Christina. It was like seeing a ghost all over again. Christina stood up out of the car weak as could be and hugged her tightly.
Elena held her tightly and said "Lets get you inside and call Elliot and let him know you are okay he is probably worried about you not to mention Christian."
Christina shook her head vigorously and said "No E you can't if i run now Ana won't be hurt and Jack will have to follow me."
"why would he do that now that he's found the money he's been wanting." Elena asked her before feeling the baby bump under her Jack and got weak in the knees.
Christina was shivering and was Harmony's car was there and didn't want her to see her.
Elena held Christina as she shivered and said "What do you me to help with?"
"Jack took the car and the money. I need that money i left with you just so i can be on the next plane to Detroit and maybe they will all follow me." Christina said in tears as the rain poured down.
Elena sighed and motioned a bouncer to come grab Christina and take her the back back way into the club so no one saw her.
Christina sighed letting Ricky a big Samoan Picked her up and said "Dang Girl your Pregnant and You're still light as fuck."
He just wanted to make her laugh which it did. Elena put her trench coat over Christina following then in.
She Texted Both Christian and Elliot.
Elena: I have Christina.
Ricky got her through the girl's entrance all the way into Elena's Office without being seen. Most everyone thought it was the new girl who had started here today. Elena drew the curtains and dimmed the lights so no one could see in.
Nick and Harmony were getting ready to leave. Nick began to hysterically laugh seeing Elliot's car here.
Harmony who was nervous asked "What is it?
"Oh Your Dance partner really is a dumb little slut like you are. She's here or her money man are talking to E." Nick said with a laugh.
He pulled his phone out and called Jack. Jack and Carmella were enjoying Nicks nice Boat that they could live on in the marina
Jack was wishing on a star and said "Yes My Friend."
"You are never gonna believe this." Nick said grabbing Harmonys wrist to go back inside.
Jack closed his eyes and said "What?"
"Our Little birdie is trying to fly again. She is here at the club or her man is." Nick said with a smirk pushing Harmony back into their booth.
Jack smiled and said "take a pic if you see. Hell if Harmony can get close to her get her to call me. Because I wanna know if that kid is really mine or fuck boys."
"I'll see what I can do." Nick said looking at the office that was now blacked out.
Jack just laughed and lit a cigarette as Carmella came back up from below deck.
"What so funny?" She asked cuddling into him
Jack sighed and said "Just people being predictable"
"we aren't leaving are we?" She asked him
Jack shook his head no and said "Nah not till Sunday like planned then i have work. You stay close to Harmony and keep her in line with the deal."
Carmella just smiled and laid her head in his lap looking up with a smile.
Ricky was standing outside the door while Elena was stitching Christina up, trying to talk to her into not running. Christina was shivering from the cold and the nerves with her head in Elena's lap.
"Chris you gotta let Elliot or Christian come get you. You can't run now that you have you happy ending." Elena said finishing up.
Christina just shivered and said "I Can't I am gonna ruin everything good for them with this crap."
"This is their crap to because they love you." Elena told her.
Christina shook her head and said "My best friend is probably Jack's next target. My only hope is that i can convince Elliot once again and Jack. Then I am gone Christian can be happy Elliot can go back to the man whore he was and no one will miss me."
Elena held her and said "Everyone will miss you Chris more than you know."
There was a knock at the door which made Christina jump.
Ricky popped his head in and said "Harmony needed to talk to you e."
Nick demanded she take his phone to Elena's office and get Christina to talk to Jack since he just saw Elliot walk through the door.
Elena and Christina shared look and Elena waved her in. Christina didn't trust Harmony no matter the game now because of her being with Nick.
Harmony waved and just handed Christina the phone. Christina looked at her and just took it raising her eyebrow.
"Hello beautiful" Jack said knowing that Christina had the phone now.
Christina had tears rolling down her face and said "What do you want Jack? You've done your damage. What more do you want?"
"I want it all now. Especially you Friend Ana's hot little twat that You twin brother's been fucking. Thanks for the recommendation" Jack said just to torture her.
Christina started to have a seizure. Elena had her on her side so she didn't choke until it stopped. Jack heard the phone drop but could still hear everything.
"Harmony you need to leave. We will talk later. Right now I have to deal with this. Tell Rachel to get up her since she is a nurse. Also if Elliot is down there send him up as well." Elena said feeling Christina shaking.
She left the phone not knowing Jack could hear the conversations going on still. Ricky peaked in seeing Christina and shook his head at Harmony. He knew why she was doing what she was doing but thought it was a shame a girl like that.
Rachel was sitting at the bar with Elliot just talking.
"Rach has she been in here tonight? My car is outside and she was the last one to drive it." Elliot Begged to know
Rachel shook her head no and said "Honestly know I been in here all day dealing with the drama in here. I know Elena's locked in the office upstairs. So she could be up there but I am pretty sure its just one of our new girls who is an addict she is trying to save like she did with Chris."
Elliot took his shot looking around seeing Harmony coming from the stairs which meant Chris was up there because Harmony had a guilty look on her face when she looked at him in his eyes.
"E needs you upstairs Rach. She also wants to see you as well Chicago." Harmony said blandly and without feeling. She knew she was putting her friend in the crosshairs but she had to protect herself too.
Rach sighed and grabbed her glass of wine and said "All right I will be right up. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I will be fine Tyson hasn't been feeling well so I might cut out of here." Harmony said wanting to run herself much like Christina.
Rachel took a sip of her wine and said "That's fine. Its pretty steady so we should be good take care of little man."
Elliot did another shot just looking at Harmony in a different light knowing she could be capable of anything. Rach and Harmony shared a fake hug as Elliot just walked away heading for the stairs.
Christina had finally stopped seizing and was passed out.
The world was in black and white. Christina looked down and around at herself and she was back to being a teenager looking through a window of her brother sitting with the family they both should of shared. They saw each other and he tried to let her but there was no door.
As she kept running around the huge house trying to catch up to him to get inside she was Pulled back to her and Jack's house. Christian and Ana were inside. But it wasn't Christian and Ana. It was Jack and Ana. He had her sprawled on the dining table fucking her like he liked to fuck her.
Ana's face was crying in pain reaching for her but there was nothing she could do. Christina walked away as Christian was walking up to the house. She begged her brother not to go up there. He just glared at her trying to talk to but she couldn't hear his words.
Elliot ran up the stairs seeing the door wide open he stared taking the stairs two by two. He hoped Christina didn't do anything stupid. Rachel was behind him with her medical bag from behind the bar. Elena was running her fingers through Christina's hair trying to wake her up but she was fast asleep.
Elliot fell to his kneed kissing her forehead begging her to open her eyes. Rachel sighed seeing Christina having been in this situation with her to many times when the panic attacks got real and she started to convulse.
"How long did it last?" Rachel asked Elena.
Elliot looked down at her watch and said "Two minutes. Harmony had brought her some news and she freaked just seeing Harmony."
It was a lie but she had to protect Harmony too. Elliot kissed her lip hand watching Rachel do her thing. He had no ideal the kind of health issues Christina had been having because of the trauma she lived with
"She is alive don't worry. She just is exhausted and over worked with everything going on. She is just sleeping now." Rachel said testing her pupils which were reactive.
Christian was tossing and turning in his bed as Christina was having the seizure. The twin were both dreaming the same dream.
For Christian's his world was in color sitting with the family around a piano as he played. HE could see Christina outside and just looked at her. He wanted to let her in but there was no door to let her in.
He ran in circles it felt like just looking for her. But he lost her. He opened a door and was in the rain looking at a white house. HE could see Christina running from it and tried to stop her but she couldn't understand him nor her of her.
Christian could see Ana with her hands cuffed behind her back and Jack Flogging and Fucking her like Christian desired to just smiling and Laughing.
Christian's eyes shot open hearing his phone go off. It was Taylor giving him the update.
"Yes Taylor" Christian asked rubbing his eyes.
Taylor was sitting in the SUV still and said "We found your brothers spyder at mrs. Lincolns establishment where Chris was found. He is trying to get some information on her where abouts right now. "
"Any eyes on Nick or Jack yet?" Christian asked just for his sister's safety.
Taylor said "Not yet But I am sure they will show up monday."
"I will calll Flynn once we have Christina home to help her." Christian said just living in fear right now because his fight or flight had kicked in now that Ana wasn't around.
"I am sure that will be helpful. I will contact you once your brother comes back out. Sloane is bringing is spider back to the garage to scan it for any devices." Taylor told Christian looking in his rearview mirror at the club entrance.
Christian yawned and said "I should be up it's hard to sleep with all this mess going on."
"If not i will brief you in the morning. I am sure Elliot will be able to get her to come home." Taylor said not realizing what was going on inside.
Christian sighed and said "I hope so." Before Hanging up the phone.
Taylor seen a big Somoan carrying Christina to to the SUV with Elliot following behind them.
"Everything all right?" Taylor asked jumping out opening the door for them to slied Christina in who was still fast asleep.
Elliot looked in Shambles and said "Yeah she just is passed out from being exhausted. I just want to get her home and let her sleep till morning and then we will figure out the hospital thing."
Taylor nodded as Elliot clibmed in letting Chris's head rest in his lap.
"alll righty then." Taylor said wanting to cry for the little girl he saw in Christina.
He got into the driver seat and took off to Escala making sure that Christina and Elliot would be safe in their new home.
