"oh, honey, you trust too easily, do you really think Davion just so easily changed his mind?" The woman asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Davion?" Ana inquires, turning around to see Davion behind her, a gun pointed at Jack's head. "w-what are you doing?"

"It's pathetic, honestly, no wonder why all of your friends have to constantly protect you" The woman continues, walking towards Ana.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"¡No, mija! ¡empújanos!" Jose instructs when Ana starts to climb in. (no, darling! push us!)

Ana obeys, struggling as she pushes the raft into the water, having to fight the waves. Her long skirt is soaking in the sea water and the police run into the water to grab them. Finally Ana gets past the waves, moving to climb into the raft.

One of the policemen grab her skirt to hold her back while Mario scratches at Ana's hand. The poorly sewn skirt rips and Ana is able to climb into the raft. Jose uses a paddle to move them further and further away from the police.

Ana looks down at her hand, seeing the scratches. Ana presumes that Mario was trying to help her into the raft. She looks back to see the police cursing and misses the disappointed look all four grandparents have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ana trusts everyone she meets and Davion is supposedly the first person to betray that trust, but the question is, are there others who don't deserve her trust? others who could be anywhere" Angela explains.

"including in this room" Tim finishes, clutching Ana closer to his chest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ana, te extrañamos." Carmen gushes, hugging Ana. (Ana, we missed you).

"Yo también os extrañé, ¿qué están haciendo aquí?" Ana asks, confused, hesitantly hugging back. (I missed you too, what are you all doing here?)

"La residencia de ancianos nos echó porque no hacías los pagos." Esmerelda explains. (The retirement home kicked us out, you weren't making the payments.)

[Now...]

Ana wakes up much later to Tim shaking.

Ana opens her eyes, blearily, thinking it's a nightmare and she looks over at him, only to see him having a seizure and foam spilling out of his mouth.

Ana only takes a second to react, turning him on over to his side and immediately reaching for her phone. Her hands are trembling as she types in 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" A male's voice asks over the phone.

"My boyfriend is having a seizure, he's not diagnosed with epilepsy and doesn't take any medication that should cause it, I'm at 9860 Angels Drive, suite 98" Ana rushes out over the phone.

"An ambulance is on the way, turning him onto his side" The man instructs.

"I've already done so, me and my boyfriend are cops, I'm Officer Ana Cabrera badge number 41996" Ana explains over the phone.

"Ana?" The man realizes who it is.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, do I know you?" Ana asks.

"I'm Wyatt, we met at the hospital" Wyatt explains.

"Oh, hi, Wyatt" Ana says.

"Code 8, I repeat Code 8" Ana hears Wyatt say over the intercom.

"What's code 8?" Ana asks.

"It's your code" Wyatt responds.

"My what?" Ana inquires but there's banging on the door as the paramedics arrive.

"Bye, Wyatt" Ana hangs up the phone and rushes to the front door.

"He's here" Ana says, opening the door and showing the paramedics where Tim is still seizing up.

"Let's get him on the stretcher" A paramedic instructs.

Ana stays to the side, biting her lip nervously as they load Tim onto the stretcher.

"What's going on?" Tamara asks, hearing all of the commotion and entering the room.

"Tim, he's having a seizure" Ana explains, rushing over to Tamara and hugging her to calm her down.

"Wait, no, dad" Tamara says, starting to rush over to Tim.

"Hey, hey" Ana soothes. "They're gonna take him to the hospital and he's going to be fine, I'm gonna go with them, do you want to come with us?"

"I have class in the morning" Tamara sniffles.

"Okay, then you should stay here, watch over my grandparents, yeah? I'll send you updates as they come and you can visit him right after class" Ana promises.

"What if-" Tamara starts.

"Nothing is going to happen to him, I promise" Ana says, seeing the paramedics carrying the stretcher out of the apartment.

"I have to go, I'll text you" Ana kisses Tamara's forehead before rushing out the door behind the paramedics.

[Time Skip]

Ana gets out of the ambulance, following the paramedics. Tim stopped seizing in the ambulance but fell unconscious.

"Ma'am" A nurse approaches her as Tim is carted back.

"Yeah?" Ana murmurs, turning to look at the nurse with glassy eyes.

"Can you answer some questions about Officer Bradford?" The nurse requests.

"Yeah, yeah, okay" Ana nods.

"Here, let's get you somewhere private" The nurse, Wanda, guides Ana into a small staff room in the hospital.

"Alright" Wanda sits Ana down in a chair and puts a cup of water in front of her. "So over the phone you said your boyfriend hasn't been diagnosed with epilepsy?"

"Yeah, he doesn't have any pre-existing medical conditions" Ana sniffles, curling in on herself.

"Okay, but he's a cop so he has been injured before, what have been those injuries?" Wanda asks.

"Um he was shot two years ago in the side, uh, and I know he has some injuries from his time in the military" Ana replies.

"So everything has been documented at the hospital?" Wanda clarifies.

"Yeah" Ana nods.

"Okay, and do you know what he's eaten in the past 24 hours?" Wanda questions.

"Um, he ate cereal for breakfast, he had a salad for lunch and chili for dinner" Ana remembers.

"Okay, were any of those homemade?" Wanda asks.

"Well the cereal obviously isn't, the salad he bought from a food stand and the chili was made by my grandparents" Ana murmurs.

"And he didn't eat anything else?" Wanda inquires.

"Not that I know of" Ana responds, softly.

"And how has work been, has he been working on any difficult cases where someone might be interested in... hurting him?" Wanda questions.

"Oh" Ana suddenly stands up, gears turning in her head.

"What?" Wanda asks.

"I was in the hospital only a few weeks ago because someone keeps trying to kill me and Tim thought that someone close to me would also try targeting me, someone could've tried to kill Tim to get to me" Ana realizes.

"With a seizure like that, it'd likely be poisoning" Wanda agrees. "Let me go alert the doctors."

[Time Skip]

"Poisoned?" Tamara exclaims over the phone.

"Yeah, the doctors confirmed it, they aren't sure what exactly it is that he ate but don't touch any food at home" Ana replies.

"Is he okay?" Tamara asks.

"Yeah... it was cyanide" Ana reveals.

"It has an antidote, right?" Tamara inquires.

"Yeah, it does, they gave it to him, they think he'll be unconscious for another few hours but he should be okay" Ana responds.

"How did they figure out it was poisoning?" Tamara asks.

"I think the same people who have been trying to kill me, tried to kill him" Ana murmurs. "So I want you to stay inside today, I know you have classes but I'll email your professors and explain the situation to them. Don't open the door for anyone and call me if anything feels off"

"Um, your abuela is asking about food" Tamara relays.

"Don't eat any food inside the house" Ana instructs.

"¿Entonces qué se supone que debemos comer, mija?" Carmen asks over the phone. (then what are we supposed to eat, darling?)

"No lo sé, abuela, ¿no puedes esperar hasta que Tim esté consciente?" Ana requests. (I don't know, grandma, can't you wait until Tim is conscious?)

"No puedes matarnos de hambre, mija, sólo por tu novio." Carmen replies, harshly. Ana frowns at the sudden harshness. (you can't starve us, darling, just because of your boyfriend.)

"Yo sólo... sólo deberían ser unas pocas horas más, ¿no puedes esperar?" Ana asks, frowning. (I just- it should only be a few more hours, can't you wait?)

"no podemos." Carmen answers with surprising urgency. (no we can't).

"Um, está bien, entonces llamaré a Lucy y ella dejará algo de comida." Ana surrenders. (um, okay, then I'll call Lucy, she'll drop off some food).

[Time Skip]

Tim wakes up, feeling sore and disoriented. The first thing he notices is a weight on his hand, then the light above him takes away his attention for a moment.

He groans, blinking as the light gives him a temporary headache. His hand shifts and he feels the softness of Ana's hair. That gets him awake and he looks down to see that Ana has cried herself to sleep, her head resting uncomfortably on his hand.

"Ana?" Tim whispers, his voice hoarse.

Ana doesn't stir.

"Ana" Tim says, louder and gruffly.

Ana starts to wake up, whining a little and sitting up.

Tim's heart breaks seeing her puffy red eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"Baby" Tim exhales, using one hand to cup her cheek.

"Tim? You're awake" Ana smiles, leaning into his hand. "I'm so sorry"

"What are you apologizing for?" Tim asks.

"I'm the reason you're here" Ana whispers.

"What are you talking about, love?" Tim inquires, sitting up.

His body is sore from the seizure but otherwise he feels good all things considered.

"Someone poisoned you, Tim, to get to me" Ana admits.

"Poisoned me? With what?" Tim asks.

"Cyanide, you had a seizure in your sleep last night" Ana murmurs, kissing the palm of his hand.

"I did?" Tim questions.

"Yeah" Ana nods.

Tim opens his mouth to respond when Ana's phone rings. Ana grabs it and answers it.

"Hey, Luce" Ana says.

"How's Tim?" Lucy asks, immediately.

"He's awake" Ana murmurs.

"Oh thank god" Lucy exhales. "Can I drop by?"

"Yeah, of course, could you bring Tamara with you? She was really scared when I left her this morning" Ana requests.

"Duh, see you soon" Lucy says before hanging up.

Ana puts her phone down and turns back to Tim.

"You must've been so scared" Tim muses, pulling her head towards him so he can kiss her forehead.

"This isn't about me, Tim" Ana protests.

"It is, though, darling" Tim huffs. "Someone tried to kill me because of you"

Tim flinches when he realizes how that sounded. "But it's not your fault" he rushes to say "you saved my life, Ana, please don't feel guilty about this, we'll figure out what bastard is trying to kill you, I promise."

"I quarantined Tamara and my grandparents in the apartment, just in case" Ana murmurs.

"They shouldn't eat any food" Tim adds.

"I told them, Lucy brought them fresh food from the grocery store" Ana replies.

"Poison clinic, report to ER, I repeat, poison clinic, report to ER" A nurse says over the intercom.

Ana looks up and shares a look with Tim.

"I'll be right back" Ana stands up.

"No, let me come with you" Tim insists, grabbing her hand.

"Tim you just had a seizure" Ana frowns.

"And I'm just sore" Tim assures her.

"Okay" Ana agrees, helping him up.

[Time Skip]

"Tamara? What happened?" Ana sees Lucy standing outside of Tamara's hospital room.

"I came by to pick her up and bring her to the hospital and she was having a seizure in the living room" Lucy explains.

"Did she eat anything from the apartment?" Tim asks.

"I don't know, I dropped off the food like you told me to two hours ago" Lucy answers.

"abuela, ¿Tamara comió algo?" Ana asks when her grandparents come rushing over. (grandma, did Tamara eat anything?)

"solo las carnitas que le hice." Carmen responds. (just the carnitas I made her).

Ana's eyes widen.

Tim was poisoned after eating her grandparent's chili.

Now Tamara has been poisoned after eating her grandparent's carnitas.

"Oh god"
