"Eli I need to speak to her. Will's been shot, Eli. They don't know if he's going to make it. I NEED to speak to Alicia."
"yes just a second"
Eli walks to Alicia and taps her on the shoulder,
"There's a call for you"
"Now?"
"Yes, you have to take it."
Eli can see it in Alicia's eyes when Kalinda tells her, he knows the moment her knees go weak and he worries she might fall over. He grabs her shoulder to steady her but she pushes him off. He tells her to go, where he's telling her to go he's not sure, and as Alicia walks away she's not sure where she's headed either. Before she can comprehend what she's doing she's in her car, it's eerily quiet and as she sits at the stop light and watches the world continues on around her. How can people still be shopping, how are they walking!? Will might not make it! She doesn't know where to go, she's afraid to go to the hospital she doesn't want to see the aftermath of the shooting, but she isn't sure where to turn. In a strange daze Alicia finds herself at LG and she's riding the elevator to the 28th floor. When she see Diane she knows she made the right choice. It's when she's clinging to the older woman's arms for dear life she realizes this was the best place to go. She knows from her phone call with Kalinda that Will is in surgery and she says she'll call when she knows more so the two women wait in Diane's office.
When the phone rings hours later Diane and Alicia grip each other's hands tightly and suddenly, Alicia is crying and she's pulling Diane to her feet. They rush to the hospital to be at his side. Kalinda meets them at the door and takes them to him. He's as pale as death but there is a comforting beep of his heartbeat on a monitor by his side. Kalinda tells Alicia that his sisters will be there soon and Alicia knows when they arrive she will no longer have the right to be by his side. When his sisters arrive Diane introduces them, it's oddly formal considering why they are all there. Alicia leans down and places a gentle kiss on Will's forehead and turns to go.
When she's home Alicia checks her phone it's the first time she's looked at her phone since she answered Eli's phone earlier that day. She checks her phone too late to find out that Peter is coming over, and he'll be here soon. But worse than that, is the missed call at the top of the list.
At the top of the list is a missed call from Will Gardner, and a voicemail.
