Spencer's POV
"I don't know Bobby. We gotta find this guy soon or else we're all gonna go stir crazy in that house."
He sighs as he runs a hand across his tired face.
I feel bad asking so much of him.
I know he's been working around the clock trying to catch this guy and me rushing him is just adding to his stress.
"We're doing our best Spence but I can only trust a handful of guys with this since we know it's someone in the station. Maybe bringing her here wasn't the best idea."
We round the corner to check up on Liz and when I see her rocking in her seat, I know that something is wrong.
"Oh no. No,we were only gone a minute!"
I rush over to her side and gently place my hands on her arms as she begins to hyperventilate.
"Liz? Baby calm down. I'm right here with you. I'm here."
She opens her eyes and I can feel her body relax as she registers my presence.
"That's it baby. Just breathe."
She nods her head and wraps her arms around my neck, clinging to me.
"Spence! The guy...I saw him! He's...he's a fucking cop!"
I tense up.
How does she know? Did he say something to her?
I gently push her back so that I can look into her eyes.
"What did he look like? Did you see his badge?"
She shakes her head and I try not to show my disdain but I'm furious.
He got way too close to her.
This cocky some of a bitch isn't worried about us catching him in the slightest.
I swear when I figure out who it is, I'm going to deal with him personally.
"That's alright. Let me tell Bobby what happened and we'll get out of here."
I turn to go find him but freeze when I feel her hand grab mine.
"How are you so calm? I just told you that a member of your own squad has been stalking me for week and you barely reacted."
My throat dries up when I realize that I slipped up.
Fuck.
"I'm just trying to keep it together babe. That's all."
I feel her grip tighten and brace myself.
"You knew...didn't you?"
I don't say anything.
I turn around and reach for her but she retracts.
"No! Don't..."
Tears cloud her eyes as she grabs her coat and heads for the door.
"Liz wait!"
I look over at Bobby and he waves me off before I run after her.
I don't see her at first when I step outside and I think the worst.
What if he knew this would be her reaction?
What if he was out here waiting for her?
I shouldn't have brought her here.
I knew it wasn't safe. God, I'm so stupid!
I scan the street looking for her and catch a glimpse of her long curly hair rounding a corner.

A deep sigh of relief escapes my lungs before I bolt over there, not even paying attention to traffic.
"Hey watch it man! Aren't you a cop??"
I hold up my hands apologetically to the man that skidded to a stop in front of me.
"Sorry sorry!"
He shakes his head and peels off, kicking dust onto me but I don't care.
I continue my pursuit, trying desperately to find my lover.
When I see her standing at a bus stop, I almost burst into tears.
She's okay.
I walk over to her but as soon as she notices me a few feet away, she turns and walks in the other direction.
"Liz...Liz come on please talk to me."
She scoffs, crossing her arms as she continues on.
"Oh like you've been talking to me?"
I drag my hand across my face and jog to get in front of her.
She stops but doesn't look at me.
Her eyes are still red with tears and I can see her arms tense from how hard she's squeezing her fists.
"Baby. I'm sorry I just-"
She holds up her hand to cut me off and I gulp, afraid of what's to come.
"You have known for god knows how long that a COP has been stalking me for weeks and didn't think that that was something I needed to know? Cops have been crawling all over that house and I was JUST sitting in a station surrounded by them! Don't you think that's something I should know??"
She brushes past me heading back towards the station and I just follow behind her like a sad puppy with my tail between my legs.
She has every right to be upset with me.
I knew I should have told her sooner but I didn't want her to be under even more stress than she already was.
Now I just have to take what's coming to me.
We get back to the station and she gets into the passenger seat without another word.
The drive back is silent.
She's obviously livid while I'm too afraid of saying the wrong thing and making things worse.
When we park in front of my place, I run around to her side of the car to get her door but she's already stepping out.
That actually hurt a little because she ALWAYS lets me open her door.
I shake it off and rush over so that I can atleast hold the front door for her and she steps inside, not even giving me a second glance.
For most of the night, she gives me the cold shoulder.
When bri and Jess return, her face lights up at the sight of her friend and after a lengthy conversation in Jess's bedroom, without me, I receive icy stares from every woman in the house.
I sigh as I grab a beer out of the fridge.
"Way to go Spence. I knew you'd fuck up sooner or later."
I take a swig out of the bottle and lean against the counter trying to figure out how I'm going to make up for this.
My attention is drawn to my bedroom door opening and the woman of my dreams walking towards the kitchen in nothing but a crop top and a pair of silk shorts.
My eyes automatically try to take her in but I clear my throat and Avert them quickly before I make things worse.
She opens the fridge, definitely looking for a snack because this is usually around the time when she gets hungry in the middle of the night.
Usually she'll ask me to make her something but since we haven't been talking, it hasn't come up.
Her nose scrunches up and she closes the door, clearly unhappy with the choices available.
I watch as she reaches into the cabinet for a plate but she's a little too short.
"Here, I'll get it."
I set down my beer and reach over her to grab the one she wanted, gently laying a hand on her waist for support.
She takes the plate from me and grabs the ingredients for a sandwich, not even trying to thank me.
I bite my lip.
This really can't go on. I have to quit being such a pussy and just talk to her.
"Liz? I'm real sorry about keeping that from you. I just didn't want to scare you."
She doesn't respond.
She doesn't even react to what I'm saying. Just continues cutting up her food.
I sigh and tentatively wrap my arms around her waist from behind.
She tenses up for a moment but I don't budge. I need her to hear me.
"All I want to do is protect you. The way I found out he was a cop is when I went back to the station one day, my whole desk was trashed. He left a note saying "stay out of the trash" written over a BLM sign. I was pissed. Not because of my desk but because I was worried about you. When I found out about the guy following you everything clicked and I didn't want you out of my sight. Yes, I should have told you about him but I didn't want to scare you. I also don't have all of the answers like who the fuck is he and what's his deal?"
I sigh tightening my arms around her and burying my face into the crook of her neck.
"I don't blame you for being upset. I would be too. I just...I want you to know that I was just trying to look out for you."
I softly kiss the side of her neck and start to pull away when I feel her hands rest on mine.
"You know, it's not wise to grab onto someone with a knife in their hand?"
My eyes widen but she looks back at me with a soft smile and I relax a little.
"You're probably right."
She sets the knife down and turns to face me.
A deep sigh escapes her lips before she wraps her arms around my neck and looks into my eyes with her gorgeous hazel ones.
"Listen. You HAVE to talk to me. I don't like finding out that you're keeping things from me. Especially something this serious."
I nod dropping my head down but she gently lifts it back up, caressing my cheek with her thumb.
"I know you want to protect me Spence but you can't just hide things from me. I'm a big girl, I can handle it I promise."
I laugh a little as she pinches my cheek.
"Yes ma'am. No more secrets. Still mad at me?"
I give her my best puppy dog look and she rolls her eyes but I see a hint of a smile trying to creep out.
"Yes I'm still angry at you. But you are cute."
My smile widens and I shower her with kisses earning an array of giggle and squeals.
"Spencer! Stop it!"
She tries to wiggle away from me but I keep my hold on her waist.
"I just wanna give you some loooove baby!"
We both laugh as a tickle fight ensues and I feel my heart swell again.
I know she's still upset with me and I've got a lot of damage control to get through but right now, I'm just relieved to see her smiling again.
