⋆° დ ༄ UNTIL THERE WAS YOU
chapter nine. new york scandal , part 2.

Hernandez glares at the girl with the knife still at her throat and says, "You're right. I won't. But you know what I can do?"

Hernandez lifts Sam's chin up by the blade of the bloody knife, he had just recently used to cut Sam's stomach, right over her belly button.

"After what I went through with you for 2 years? Yeah I know. And you really think you scare me? You have another thing coming" Sam groans.

"Yeah I do actually"

"And how is that?" Sam questions.

"Because I know secrets. Secrets that you will never want anyone to know"

"Yeah? Like what?"

"That you were pregnant with my child" Hernandez tilts his head and watches Sam's face go completely blank, her throat dries up and her heart falls straight to her stomach, "I guess it's to bad, that you had a miscarriage, huh? I would've shaped that child into something great"

"Yeah too bad" Sam says coldly.

About a year into being undercover, Sam had gotten a little close with Hernandez, because it was her job and honestly at the time she couldn't deny his good looks even though she knew he was a monster. So the unthinkable happened...one night Hernandez went into Sam's room and raped her. Which ends with her getting pregnant. Sam was so upset with herself. She hated herself, she knows that it wasn't her fault but she was so embarrassed, still is. The only person that knows about it is Hank and Olivia and she knew that if anyone found out, that would be the end to everything. But before she could hide the pregnancy test, Paul saw her looking at it and he was so happy but then once she had the miscarriage that's when everything went downhill.

He hit her, got worse with the girls he was trafficking, started killing people himself instead of having his hitmen do it, he got so much more violent all because Sam lost his child and those innocent people dying because of her, she blamed herself for every single one and she still does. But even though her unborn baby was this monsters, she would have loved and cared for it, no matter what. It's all Nature v. Nurture.

And losing a baby, plus blaming herself for all the innocent people dying, really took a toll on her. And not having a support system that was around her, besides a few phone calls to Hank, it didn't really do much. Sam was on the edge of losing herself..again and she couldn't let that happen, so she finally went to her captain and told her that she wanted a fresh start and that's when she moved back to Chicago.

Hernandez takes the knife and drags the blade along Sam's cheek, making a small cut and making blood fall down her cheek and making the raven haired girl hiss with pain.

Then the salt n pepper haired man, rips Sam's shirt open and drags the bloody knife along Samantha's fabric covered breasts.

"And to think, this used to be all mine" Hernandez smirks, which quickly fades to a frown when he takes out a ringing phone from his back pocket, which turns out to be Sam's that he took when he tied her up to the chair.

"Why does this Kelly, keep calling you?"

"I don't know" Sam says in between heavy breaths.

"Well we're gonna have to have a little fun, aren't we?" Hernandez smirks and pulls up the camera on the phone, taking a step back and takes a picture of the beat up girl before him, "Smile.."

Hernandez sends the picture and puts the phone back into his pocket and walks closer to Sam, "Now where were we?"

🌙🌙🌙

Back at the 21st, Commissioner Miller storms out of Voights office in anger and out of the intelligence unit.

"Do we have anything yet?" Voight questions his team.

"No, not yet" Erin says looking over files on her desk.

Dawson hangs up his phone and gets out of his chair and grabs his jacket, and says, "One of my CI's just got back to me and thinks he might have something"

"Alright, go" Hank says.

Dawson quickly heads down the stairs, passing Kelly Severide as he rushes up the steps, "Something happened to Sam"

"Yeah, Kelly. We know" Erin says with sadness.

"How do you know?" Jay questions, getting up from his desk.

"Because I just got a picture sent to me from her phone"

Kelly shows everyone the picture of a strung up, bloody, beaten Sam and Jay's blood boils. He can't stand looking at his girl this way so he walks back over to sit at his desk, while the rest of the team get a glance at the picture.

"Ruzek, see if you can trace where this picture was sent from" Hank orders and Adam does so, taking Kelly's phone from him and heading down to the basement.

"What the hell is going on?" Severide demands.

"Sam was kidnapped, Kelly" Erin says.

"Well how close are we to finding her?"

"Not close enough" Hank says.

"How long has she been missing for?"

Erin sighs, "12 hours"

"What?!" Kelly says, trying to hold back his tears that are forcing their way down his face. He just got his best friend back, he can't lose her again.

"Kelly, just go home and we'll call if anything happens"

Just then Adam rushes up from the back stairs, and says, "Guys you might wanna check this out. A video was just sent from Sam's phone"

The team rushes down to the basement and is gathered around Ruzek as he clicks play on the video.

The team watches with fear as the camera is pointed at Sam, trying to get out of the chains tied on her wrists.

"Let me go now!" Sam exclaims and one of Hernandez's men hits her in her stomach, twice. Which makes Jay instantly turn away.

"Not so fast little one" Hernandez walks closer to Sam, which brings the camera closer as well, "I want to show whoever this goes too, that they have little time left to find you before I kill you myself"

A gun is pointed at Sam's head, who's still glaring up at Hernandez with no emotion on her face. Then said girl, closes her eyes and the trigger is pulled but the barrel is empty.

The team flinches, watching this. Kelly walks away with anger and sadness mixed together. Jay walks off to one of the lockers outside the tech room and punches it. Erin and Kevin close their eyes, so they don't have to watch this. Adam and Al look down at the ground, and Hank with furry in his eyes.

Hernandez then turns the camera on him, "So, to whoever is watching this. I'm not sorry to say that she has less than, mmm.., let's say 2 hours before you never see her again. Including her body, Tick tock"

Hernandez stops the video.

Before anybody got a chance to say anything, Antonio runs down the stairs to find his team and says, "Guys, I got something"

🌙🌙🌙

One of Hernandez's men unlocks the chains that had Sam dangling from the ceiling and she drops to the ground and groans in pain. Hernandez kneels down next to the raven haired girl, with the knife still in his hand, and says, "So, now's the time to come clean about being a cop"

"I'm not a cop!" Sam exclaims, spitting out blood from her mouth.

"I have pictures, and that's all the evidence I need"

"Fine, yeah I'm a cop and I played your sorry, stupid ass the whole time" Sam smirks, which makes Hernandez frown, then said 'man', grabs a handful of Sam's hair and drags her across the floor.

Sam digs her nails into the man's arms to get him to loosen his grip, but it didn't work.

🌙🌙🌙

The team is now back on their unit gathered around Antonio, who says, "My CI told me that he knows someone who talked to Hernandez's second in command. The Pensens move back and forth between New York and Chicago, and while they stay here, they have this abandoned building in South Side Chicago. No exact address"

A few minutes later, Erin pulls up a map on her computer of abandoned buildings in South Side Chicago and says, "There are three abandoned buildings, seven miles apart from each other"

"Alright, here's what's gonna happen. Al, Ruzek, take the building on james street. Antonio, Atwater, take the building on Allen street. Halstead and Lindsay you're with me. I'll get Trudy to lend us some patrol. Let's get suited up and get Sam back"

🌙🌙🌙

Jay, Erin and Hank quitely move into the abandoned building trying to find Sam and knocking out Hernandezs' men or if they have to, shoot their way through.

When the three hear a loud pop, which they instantly know is a gunshot. They run into an empty room when they hear another gunshot, coming from the room next door and then Jay kicks in the door and sees Sam standing over Hernandez with the gun pointed in front of her.

"Sam!" Hank shouts.

Sam is flooded with so much anger and tears that she doesn't even know Erin, Hank and Jay came in.

"I hope you rot in hell, you son of a bitch" Sam says through gritted teeth.

"Do it then bitch! Kill me!" Hernandez screams.

Anger runs through her veins, as she gets down on the ground next to the disgusting man and puts the gun to his heart and without a second thought, she pulls the trigger and in seconds blood splatter covers her face.

Sam stands up and walks over to Jay, Voight and Erin and hands Hank the gun and walks out of the room with Jay closely behind.

Hank looks at Erin, and says, "What happened in here, stays in here. The rest of the team doesn't need to know."

Lindsay nods her head in agreement, "Yeah, got it"

🌙🌙🌙

Sam is laying in a hospital bed, hooked up to monitoring machines. Her wounds stitched up, the blood splatter scrubbed from her face, bruising all over her face and body and she ended up with a broken arm.

Sam is deep in her thoughts when she looks up and sees Kelly standing right outside the room with tears in his eyes.

"Hi Kells"

Kelly walks over to his best friend and gives her a tight hug, never wanting to let go, and said, "I'm so happy to hear you say that, you have no idea"

Sam smiles into her best friend's shoulder, saying, "Kelly.."

"Mmmm.."

"You're hurting me"

"I'm sorry" Kelly says, quickly letting go, "There are some people here to see you, if you're okay with that"

"Sure"

Then in walks, all of firehouse 51. Sam was definitely grateful, that they cared enough about her to come see if she was okay.

"How are you feeling, Sam?" Matt asks.

"I'm alright, thank you"

"We're all glad you're okay...and everyone even signed a card for you" Gabby Dawson says, handing the raven haired girl the closed envelope.

"Thanks guys. I appreciate every single one of you"

Everyone at firehouse 51 smiles at the comment.

"Well we should probably get going. We hope to see you at the firehouse when you're feeling better" Matt says.

"Yeah, definitely."

Firehouse 51, except Kelly leave the hospital room.

"I am so sorry you went through this Sammy" Kelly says sitting in the chair next to the hospital bed and holds onto his friend's hand for dear life.

"Kelly, I'm fine. I'm here, I'm alive. You don't need to worry"

"I've heard that from you more than once"

"I know" Sam says, fighting back tears, when the two turn their heads to the door to see Jay.

"I'll be back later. And I'll bring dinner"

Sam nods and before Kelly leaves he kisses his best friend on the forehead and as he passes by Jay he whispers, "Please take care of her. She's been through to damn much for her not to be treated like a queen"

"I promise" Jay says and walks over to stand by Sam's side with tears in his eyes.

"Hi" Sam says quietly with tears of her own, blocking her vision. Jay sits down on the hospital bed and places a light kiss onto the girls lips. "I'm so sorry we couldn't find you faster"

"It's okay, Jay. I'm fine" Is the lie Sam always uses when she doesn't want anyone to worry about her, when in reality she's dying inside. But her personality gets in the way, because she always worries about everyone else but herself. It's just who she is, always has been. Kelly Severide has seen it first hand and it always gives him reason for concern.

"You were tortured for 13 hours. You can't be fine"

"Yeah well, I am" Sam insists looking away from him.

"Well you do realize I'm gonna be by your side, until you feel better right?"

"I hope so. Who else would take care of me?" Sam smiles and pulls Jay in for another kiss, this time letting her lips linger longer, tasting his soft lips and taking his scent of old spice, that she loves so much.

Unfortunately for the two love birds they stop kissing when they hear a knock at the door revealing Sam's grandfather, commissioner Daniel Miller.

"Commissioner" Jay says quickly standing up.

"Do you mind leaving us alone for a minute, detective?" He asks.

"Sure" Jay gives Sam one more quick kiss on the lips and leaves.

"What are you doing here?" Sam questions.

"Well sergeant Voight said he found you and that you were here. I wanted to see how you were doing"

"I'm great, grandpa. Just dandy"

"I'm sorry about everything I said the last time we spoke. I was angry and I want to be in your life again. You're my granddaughter, Samantha"

Sam takes in a deep breath, "I'll think about it"

"That's all I ask" Commissioner Miller leaves the room and leaves Sam to her thoughts, not so good thoughts.
