Charlie, oh Charlie. The man she had come to swear her loyalty to. Who took her from the rooms that her stepmother had sold her into and helped her make her way up. Who never left her behind. Who helped her find her sister. How much had Charlie given her over the years and she had never thanked him. Fuck, she had more regrets than she thought she would at this moment. Her hand left Rafe's face and tried to pull at the necklace under her shirt, but she couldn't. Charlie would know what she was trying to say through all the blood, but she was so tired now. Tears streamed down the side of her face as she tilted it with the last bit of energy her body had left, falling and mingling with all her blood on the floor now. She looked at the man she had considered more than her friend, her brother, before her eyes closed and her head fell back limp. Too tired to hold one anymore and letting the darkness peacefully take her over.
Charlie knew what she was reaching for. The gold chain that she never took off unless they were back home in New York. With tears, he reached for the chain on the side of her neck and pulled it off. Two small charms were on it, the letter E and a small gold circle with the word sis stamped on it. To anyone else, they would think Elizabeth narcissistic, an E for her. But that was not what it stood for, it stood for her fraternal twin Elva. After he had helped her find her they had slowly built some semblance of a relationship, one that was ending now. He'd have to tell her what happened to Elizabeth. Cradling her head in his hands, he spoke to AJ in the comm's as he heard Sage's command. ❝ AJ, this is the most important task of your bloody life. You and Ashley have to help us interpret this thing, NOW! ❞
AJ wasted no time pulling up everything he could on his computer screen. ❝ The video feeds are killed you're going to have to describe what you see so we can help. ❞ He didn't know what this would do, or how it would help but he wasn't going to lose his family.
Cradling her in his arms, rocking her, pleading with her to stay if not for him for her family, for Charlie and AJ, Ashley and Sage. Anger filled him as Charlie dropped beside them. Where were they? Sage was his head of Security her job was to keep them safe! And Charlie, Charlie should have been there to save her. But as he cold hand came up and pressed against his face, it dissipated. "Come on, Elizabeth, look Charlie's here. You can't die on him." He choked out.
Sage had dropped to her knees book in hand, pouring over it, looking for anything that made sense to her. "Sage? Sage, what's happening?" Came Ashley on the comms. Wiping at her eyes, she cleared her throat. "Ripper got to Elizabeth. It's not good. Ashley, AJ, I've got this goddamn book, I need to know how to use how to stop this." She growled, letting her anger her take over, anger would fuel her better than tears.
Ripper, on the other hand, was looking for a sarcophagus, one belonging to a once very dangerous individual.
