16

I knew I should stop watching but I couldn't help myself, my story seemed to be everywhere. One station started their own half-hour nightly segment on what had happened. It was called uneducated sex, lies and obsession in the city. The main news caster was this beautiful woman in her mid twenties. Who wore he hair in a high pony tail. She looked like she should have been a model or an actress instead of a news caster. Her name was Janika Hones.

She would spin things every chance she got. She kept giving dramatic updates like this was some TV show reveal or big sporting event. She made me so sick and angry. I had to stop watching the news after seeing the segment she did on my life. She had dug up as much as she could on me. She had childhood photos, knew the names of my school for the deaf. They even knew about my family line. Thy about how my grandfather had been in a famous rock band and overdosed on drugs and then my father had gotten into drugs as well as multiple affairs before overdosing as well. She said addiction ran in my family only instead of drugs I'd turned to sex.

I wasn't a sex addict he was. His brother in law had told me so. He was the one who always wanted it, even when I was crying and we were fighting. They were picking my life apart but what about him. Why hadn't they dug into him more. Some of the pictures and video had to have him in it. Some things in his life had to not add up. Why weren't they ripping his life apart. I stopped watching the news and TV all together and just started focusing on my recovery.

I had a few more surgeries but nothing major. I got into physical therapy, it was hard but I was starting to see some growth. Eon was with me every step of the way. He knew a lot about recovering and physical therapy. He was always cheering me on and I wish I could have been there to cheer him on.

One day, I had just finished physical therapy and Eon had gone down stairs to the cafeteria. I noticed a new nurse walk in there was something familiar about her. She checking my vitals and then turned to me. As soon as I saw that high pony tail, I knew it was the news caster Janika Hones. She realized I knew and quickly bombarded me.

She pulled out a camera from seemingly no where and put it in my face as she spoke. 'I heard you read lips, tell us Song why did you target Mr. Carter Jaids. Is it because he tried to help you or was it revenge for him failing you?' I just stared at her bewildered. I couldn't believe she was here. How had she gotten onto my floor. You needed to have a visitors pass. Did she know someone in the hospital or had she just snuck in.

I tried to push my call button for help but she blocked it with her hand. I looked at her and she asked more questions 'Are you suicidal, do you have a fascination with hard sex and death? Do you do drugs? Do you plan to overdose like your father and his father. Why do you want to be treated like trash Song. Is it true you treat your vagina like a trash can. Did you do all this to yourself. Did you pay people to gang bang you and throw you away? How many men have you been with. I heard it was several hundred. Do you have a sex addiction. How many sexual diseases do you have. Do you considered yourself a whore. How much do you charge?'

She just kept moving into my line of sight and spotting off these horrific questions to get my reaction. I stopped reading her lips. I had gotten my lower body casts off and had been practicing standing and walking some. I could use my arms some but my hands and fingers still had a long way to go. I struggled to get out of bed, to get away from her and she actually started taking pictures of my scares. She put her hands on my arm moving my hospital gown so she could get a picture of some teeth marks.

"Who bite you? Was it your boyfriend? Was it one of the men you paid," she asked taking another picture and another picture. The flash was hurting my eyes. Suddenly she turned, Eon was back, he looked at me and then her puzzled. I flattened my good hand and struggled to make a fist with my the bad hand. I tried to get the thumb up and signed help. Eon looked at me and understood. I'd actually done it...I'd signed.

Eon stormed up to her demanded to know who she was. She honed in on him and I read her lips as she turned her barrage of questions on him, "You're the boyfriend right? Is it true your mother kicked you out because you wouldn't leaver Song? How can you date her knowing how many men she's been with. Do you get off on it? Are you a cuckhold or her pimp?

She was like a fucking machine gun with words. I could barely keep up with her lips. Eon realized what was going on. He grabbed Janika but she yanked free of his grasp and pulled back from him. She acted like he hurt her, "Owe you're so rough is that why Song like you? Do you beat her up? Were you the one who threw her in the trash?"

I looked back at Eon his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He tried to get her again but she slipped away like a slimy snake, her mouth popping off "Is true she tried to kill you during sex? Can she only get off if death is involved?' Do you-'

Eon managed to push the emergency button and came around to me, "Get our of here, this is assault, I'll have you arrested,"

She didn't back down "Isn't Song facing multiple charges for public indecency, filing a false police report, distrusting porn with out a license, public nudity and-"

Eon blocked my view of her lips. The nurse came and Eon told her what was going on. Janika took another picture of us as Eon tried to shielded me. When she was gone he helped me back into bed and we shut our room door. I was so upset. I used the chart to ask him questions. I wanted to know what that was about him being been kicked out of his place. He admitted his mom gave him a choice and he chose me. He knew I was innocent. I wanted to know where he signed was letting him life at his place. He was no longer getting paid care for Eon but they were friends now.

I asked about the charges against me. Eon signed for me not to worry about that he'd found me a lawyer and he was working on things. I didn't understand... How was I facing charge and he wasn't. I realized some of the things I'd done had been illegal but...but what about him. I felt like my life had turned into a nightmare and I was dragging Eon down with me.

I retreated into myself and got really quiet. My doctors came in and talked to me about eating more but I just felt so sick all the time. I just wanted to sleep. I just wanted it all to go away. Eon and Chad were the only two allowed to visit me now. They took shifts and Janika was bared from the hospital. Eon noticed how upset I was and kept pressing me to open up to him. Eventually I admitted I had been secretly watching the news. He got upset and signed I shouldn't believe them.

Nothing was set in stone yet. The police were still looking into my case and we had witness of our own now. I perked up as he told me two women from the college recognized me on the news and said they saw a man attacking me and trying to steal my purse. They were willing to do a line up and testify that it was Mr. Jaids. I recalled them, it was was Judy and Reign. Chad knew Judy from high school they talked every now and then and he thought she'd be a good witness. I was glad that they'd said something and there were more people that believed me.

I told Eon those pictures and videos had to be Mr. Jaids that he had the masters. Eon said he'd talk to the lawyer. He wanted to sue the sex shop right now my laywer was working on a cease and desist order. I thought that was great but I didn't know how I was gonna afford the lawyer plus all my medical bills I knew they were piling up.

There was a lot more the hospital could do to help me but was lacking coverage. Once I was stable enough they started discussing my release. I was worried about what I would do or where I would go. Chad said he and Eon had sorted out where I was going to go to continue my recovery. Somehow my mom learned I might be getting out soon and sent me two letters. I couldn't look at them I just ripped them up and was proud I had the strength to.

For once I didn't want to deal with her and realized I no longer had to if I wanted. I felt bad how things had been between us that we'd almost had a relationship but I guess some things just weren't meant to be. I was sad I couldn't talk to my siblings anymore but figured when they were older if they wanted to find me, I wouldn't turn them away.

I continued with my physical therapy and had one last surgery. Once they were satisfied with how it was healing. We had a few days to get everything together before my release. We had hoped to be able to leave quietly but somehow word got out. On the day of my release several news crews gathered along with a few hundred people.

There were safety concerns. I was worried about Eon might get set off with all the new stress but Eon and Chad had made a plan with hospital security the night before. They made it seem like we were going to leave through the front door when really there was a side exit we'd be taking. I could walk a little better now with the use of a special cane that attached to my arm. They said I might not need it after I recovered and got stronger.

I could used my arms some and my hands but gripping things was still hard, when I moved my fingers everything felt stiff. I still had a long way to go I almost didn't want to leave. Doctor Lemon was so nice he went over any last concerns I had and printed out further treatment plans I could follow. He also gave me a surplus of medication to get me through until I could be set up with a doctor at a free clinic. I'd been added to a list but it would take some time.

Given all that had gone on, I really appreciated the hospital. The nurses and doctor were very nice to me. Whether they believed me or not they treated me with respect. I could only hope there were a few people like that outside. The news made it seem like people hated me. It didn't help that I saw more and more angry people gathering outside.

Once I got checked out Eon helped me into my wheel chair and Chad took our bags and went to get his car. Eon wheeled me to a back side entrance and then signed asking me to trust him before putting a blanket over me. I couldn't see anything...I knew he wanted to shield me from what people were saying but I felt vulnerable.

I clutched my chair feeling as we wheeled outside. I could feel the air on my shins. At first things were..slow then suddenly they got crazy. I could feel us move and then shift an as Eon rolled the wheel chair changing directions more then once. I wasn't sure what was going on at one point I felt my blanket move...I held onto it keeping it in place and saw other feet moving around me. The chair shook some and nearly tipped before Eon's suddenly tapped my shoulders twice. Then his arms were around me and he was guiding me. Chad's car pulled up I recognized the color.

Eon helped me inside then shut the door. I felt it open and then shut again. I wondered if he was with me but I didn't feel him. I pulled back the blanket to see people surrounding the car. One of them was Janika. Her eyes lit up when she saw me she had a sick grin on her face and pointed at me directing her camera man. I turned away from her as she spoke not wanting to know what she had to say. I ignored all the moving mouths and hateful signs...only looking for Eon.

He was folding up my wheel chair. I didn't know we would get to keep it. People were yelling in his ear but he ignored them. He popped the trunk put it inside, then closed it before looking into the car. We made eye contact and he tilted his head, I could see he wasn't happy I'd removed the blanket.

He rushed up to the back seat window and I saw his hand tap the glass. I realized Chad had locked all the doors. He quickly unlocked the door and Eon got in as people tried to push in on him and pulled the door open. Some things were thrown in the car but he managed to get in and shut the door behind him. He held onto it and I watched his mouth get big as he shouting for Chad to lock it. I saw Eon's bracelet was flashing.

As soon as Eon let go of the door I grabbed him and threw the blanket over both of us. Just as he had wanted to shield me from the world I wanted to shield him. He smiled at me realizing what I was doing. He put his arms around me. We held each other tight as the car shook from people pushing it. Slowly it began to move and somehow we got out of there and onto the street.

I didn't take my eyes of Eon. I lost myself in his gaze and smell. How many times had I cried wondering if we'd ever be together like this again. How many times had I thought he hated me. I just wanted to be with him forever now, in our own private world. After a while I noticed his bracelet had stopped flashing, I was happy I'd calmed him down. He poked his head out from under the blanket after a while, then popped back in and signed it was all clear.

I took the blanket off my head and looked around. I expected us to be surrounded by buildings but there were just cars around us and long stretches of road. I realized we were on the highway. I wondered where we were going. I thought Chad lived in the city. Eon could see my confusion and explained Chad's cousin had a ranch outside the city. It was a bit of a drive but it should give us some privacy as I continued to recover.

I nodded and held his hand, after a while I leaned into him resting my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me and I closed my eyes. After a bit he moved and I wondered if we were almost there. However when I opened my eyes I saw a news van was speeding along side up. They'd opened their door and were taking video of us. Eon grabbed our blanket and covered our window so they couldn't records us.

We soon arrived at the ranch and pulled onto private property. Eon got out real quick to undo a chain. I saw the new van pull up and park. Janika got out and quickly fixed her skit before she started filming. Our car drove onto the land and Eon redid the chain before getting back in the car. I looked at Janika gesturing to the ranch and wished she and everyone else would just leave us alone or I wished we could just disappear...go some place where no one knew us or what had happened. I didn't want anyone bothering us and most of all...most of all I didn't want him knowing where to find me.

I...I had tried not to think of him much...but it was hard. He'd been my entire world for such a long time. Every time I thought things were over...they started back up again usually more intense then before. I bit my lip telling myself he wouldn't care come after me now. After what he did to me surely….surely this time was the last...but I still felt weary. He'd thrown me away...probably planned on me dying. What if...what if he wanted to finish me off.

Eon noticed my discomfort and signed asking me what was wrong. He pulled out the chart and I used it. I could now point to letters and words and told him I was afraid Mr. Jaids would know where we were...that he might want to finish me off. He got really tense then and swore he wouldn't come near me every again. I nodded hoping he was right. I hoped they'd charge him and lock him away...and that I'd never have to see him again.

Eon hugged me holding me tight as I looked out the window. We pulled down a long driveway and I saw horses and other farm animals. There was a farm house, several barns and other buildings. When we parked we were greeted by and older couple. Chad got out and gave them a hug before waving for us to join him. Eon got out, got the wheel chair from the trunk and helped me into it.

We went over to Chad and the couple introduced themselves the older woman was Ceyril and her husband was Rooney. They seemed like nice people they gave us a small tour of the ranch. I found out that it was also a physical rehabilitation ranch. They had nurses, doctors who visited and several kinds of therapists. Apparently Chad's whole family was in the caregiver business.

We learned Chad had come to live with his cousin when he was a teenager. They taught him to help around the ranch and he enjoyed it so much he went into nursing but chose to be a caregiver on the go because he liked the freedom. He was happy to be working there again and apparently Eon was going to work there as well. He didn't have to but wanted the experience and to repay Chad's cousins as much as he could.

I offered to help too where I could and they said I could think about that once I recovered. Right now they just wanted me to rest up and go at my own pace. There was no pressure, not judgments here. They were a close family and since we were friends with Chad we were like family to them.

I thanked Chad a lot for doing this. I know he didn't have to. He brushed it off like it wasn't anything special but I knew I was. They showed us to the building Eon and I would be staying at. It was a nice spacious room off by itself. It had a couch and two twin bed on either wall and it own bathroom with a lot of assistance rails and even a panic button. I got excited to know Eon and I would get to stay together. I didn't want to be to far away from him.

The told us they left us a schedule with dinners and group therapy or when a therapist would be free it got updated weekly and I could choose to join in if I wanted. They gave Eon and I some time alone. We unpacked some and I asked him about working here. He admitted they said he could stay here for free but he wanted to help out for all they were doing. They'd help him get some work experience and maybe he'd be able to get a job later. I wanted to get one to I wanted to help up but he told me I could help by getting better.

He helped me out of my chair and I move around a bit. I looked out the windows and thought the views were nice. I'd never been in a place like this...out in nature. I thought it would be nice to wake up here and I looked forward to exploring the area as I got better. Again it was more then I could have ever hoped for.

Once I was back in my chair and Eon and I were alone. I used the chart and admitted to Eon the thing...the reason I hadn't gone against Mr. Jaids more than anything was I was afraid of failing his class, not taking the test and being kicked out by my family. I was afraid of having no one and living on the streets with nothing.

Eon brushed my cheek and then signed I didn't have to worry about that anymore that I wouldn't be on my own, not anymore, Whatever happened he wanted to be here with me.' We embraced and then I took some medication. I wanted to just lay down and rest but when I got up to go to the bed I noticed some police cars outside. I wondered what was going on. I got Eon's attention and motioned to the window. He looked out and we both saw Detective Bisk get out of one of the cop cars. He wore a large tan trench coat and looked upset.

Ceyril and Rooney greeted him and I saw him hand them some papers. His mouth got really big...even from where we were I could tell he was shouting. He looked around and started pointing at various buildings.

I looked to Eon worried. He shut the curtains then helped me to sit down on the bed. Once I was stable he signed, "It would be okay, to stay here,"

He quickly went outside then to see what was going on. Several uneasy minutes passed before Eon rushed back in. He looked upset he had a piece of paper in his hand. He came over and signed, they had come with a search warrant and wanted to take me to the station. My heart leapt I panicked wondering why before I could use the chart. Detective Bisk burst through the door with several officers. They began searching things and looking around.

One officer came up to me and signed I was under arrests. She began to sign my legal obligations and I panicked even more. Eon quickly signed don't say anything without your lawyer. His name is Mr. Nix.

Detective Bisk demanded to know what Eon had just signed to me like we were hiding something. The officer next to me took out some cuff as he said Eon told me not to talk without my lawyer. Mr. Nix. Detective Bisk chuckled and said I thought she was mute is that another lie.

Eon gave him a dirty look and explained I could talk but I was deaf and hadn't learned to use my voice that well. He meant not to sign or use a chart without my lawyer present. Detective Bisk glared at Eon and said he was interfering in an ongoing investigation. Then he asked Eon if he'd like to come down to the station as well. That maybe we were in this little racket together.

I had no idea what he was going on about. Eon responded but I couldn't see what he said as the police officer hand cuffs on me and took me out of the room. We had to move really slow and she had to help hold me with my balance some. When we got to the police car I started to cry. I painful got into the back and the officer shut the door. I sat back there for some time.

I saw the police pulled my things out and some of Eons putting them in a police car before Detective Bisk got in my car. He adjusted the rear view mirror so he could look at me and spoke but I couldn't read his lips. After a bit he made hand gestures but they had no meaning to me. I looked outside as we pulled out of the ranch. Chad and Eon were already getting into Chad's car.

We drove slowly and the new van pulled up to us a few times. I tried not to looked at it and keep an eye on Chads car. After a few miles another police car turned on their lights and came up behind them. They got pulled over and I didn't understand why. I got upset not seeing them. When I looked up from Detective Bisk looked like he was laughing he had his radio next to his mouth said something and put it down. Again he looked into the rear view mirror and moved his mouth but I couldn't read his lips.

We got back into the city and then he pulled up to a police station. We parked but then just sat there. Detective Bisk turned off the car and began picking his teeth with a tooth pick. When the news van pulled up into the parking lot he ran a comb through his hair and straightened his spotted tie. I realized he was going to take me out for the cameras to see. I felt sickend but there was nothing I could do. He waited for Janika to set up, then got out, came around and pulled me out of the police car.

Janika was quick to rush up like this wasn't fucking planned, "Are you arresting her?"

"Yes," said Bisk. I head to lean to see his response.

I turned back to Janika as she smiled and said "Oh what charges"

I turned back to Detective Bisk as he read off a list of charges "Indecent exposure, prostitution, lewd conduct, distribution of adult content without a licenses, fraud, lying to a police officer, there are a few dozen others charges as well I'm sure you can read them in my full report later this afternoon."

I looked away as Janika peformed in front of the camera. I couldn't see what she was saying as he back was to me but she kept gesturing to me. Detective Bisk didn't take me inside he just stood there with me making sure I was front and center on the camera.

Janika turned back around flipping her point tail about, "Tell me Detective Bisk. Will you be charging her for her own crime?"

I looked to Detective Bisk "That investigation is still ongoing but... I'm sure we'll have things sorted real soon." He gave me a look.

I didn't understand what he was implying. More cameras and people started to arrive. He finally thrust me forward wanting me to me. Some people threw things at me, one of them was a jelly dildo it hit me flopping to the floor and began vibrating on the ground. Some people had signs, calling me and incident whore. A Sicko and a freak I tried to read them as I was practically dragged up steps. I couldn't keep up with Detective Bisk. I started to fall but he was so strong he just lifted me up with him.

Janika and her camera crew stayed with us as we entered the police station and signed in. They came back with us as they began to take my finger prints and mug shot. Another officer looked upset and her mouth moved quickly saying they weren't allowed to be back here. She scolded Detective Bisk and he shrugged like he didn't know why they had followed us.

After my pictures they took me into another room with a change of clothes and a basket. A woman uncuffed me and ordered me to undress for a strip search. I didn't know what that was. She showed me some paper work a written warrant, looking for foreign materials concealed within my persons. I used a police chart asking for my lawyer and they said I didn't need him for this. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't sure if they could make me undressed.

After a few minutes she said I could comply or she'd call in more officers to assist and it would not be pleasant. I broke down crying but began undressing. At first the woman officer seemed very stern and apathetic but as she saw all of my cuts, and scars she looked sick. She looked away and didn't make eye contact with me. She put on gloves and gently padding and probing me down.

I felt absolutely violated. She let me know she had to check to see if I was concealing anything. I still didn't know where she thought u could be hiding anything. I broke down more when I realized where she wanted to check. It too everything to steel myself when it was over I felt numb and distant from myself and the situation. She ordered me to dress in the change of clothes but struggled with it. She assisted me and then I was taken to an interrogation room.

I sat alone in there for a long while. Eventually Detective Brisk came in with half a sandwhich and a big fat file. He set it down then began laying out my pictures and various items in bags that had been found. The pictures were some Mr. Jaids had tossed in ally ways. I couldn't be sure about the various items in the bags. Some of them looked like they could be sex toys while some were definitely not even close. I saw a weird glass pipe and syringes.

When I looked up at him he'd finished his sandwich. He looked me in the eyes informed I was going to be charged with multiple sex crimes offense and asked if I had anything to say to that. I just sat there thinking of what Eon had said. He got angry with me and said that things were only going to get harder from her on out. If I wanted things to go easier I needed to show some remorse, confess to these acts and sign a statement of wrong doing.

He put some paper work on the desk. One stated I agreed to all the charges brought against me and listed a bunch of sex crimes. Another said I had orchestrated and participated in my own kidnapping. That I had willfully filed a false police report and lied to the police. That I would name my cohorts and accept the charges brought against me. I wasn't going to sign this. The first one I had done those things but I had no doing in my own kidnapping. I looked at him wondering how he could think I did this.

His eyes were excited and he kept nudging the paper and the pen to me. 'Just confess now and things will go a lot smoother for you.' When I wouldn't sign or pick up the pen he threatened me. 'If you don't sign I swear you wont like the outcome, more charges will be brought against you and I'll make sure everyone in your new prison knows you like it rough. I just stared at me…. What was wrong with him. I don't know why but I felt...like he was't on my side...but Mr. Jaids. I bit my lip thinking that was a weird thought to have.

He got frustrated with me and got up after a minute, 'I gave you a choice,'

A second later a male officer came in upset. He gave Detective Bisk a look and said he was going to get in trouble again. He'd turned off the camera and hadn't gotten me an interpreter or a response chart. Detective Bisk shook his head and brushed him off. He said he didn't need to video tape this I'd already confessed and was just about to sign my statements.

I shook my head. The male officer shook his and snapped that Detective Bisk was going to get written up again. Detective Bisk looked grumpy then. The man left and a minute or so later a female officer came in. It was officer Kate, she smiled at me and I smiled back at her. She had a response chart

with her and set it down before me.

Detective Bisk wanted to know what she thought she was doing. She signed as she told him she as here to be my interpreter until one could be provided for me. Again Bisk was dismissive...I was beginning to think it was just him that had a problem with me. Eventually he told her to sign to me telling me to sign the papers.

Detective Kate asked what they were and he said they were just acknowledgment of my crimes. She signed asking if I had asked for a lawyer and he told her I had informed him on the way to the police station that I did not need one and had waved my right for representation. I frantically shook my head. Officer Kate crossed her arms and gave Bisk a look.

Then they both looked up as someone tapped on the door. The male officer from earlier said my Lawyer was here demanding to see me. Detective Bisk waved his head and again said I didn't ask for a lawyer and said I didn't want one. I quickly tried to use the chart and found it had lawyer as one of the word. I poked it a. Detective Bisk looked to see what I was pointing at.

"What's that," he hesaid looking at me I didn't hear you. He joked for a moment but Kate scowled at him and reminded him if I made any attempt to ask for my lawyer then he could no longer question me. She started reading of a hearing impaired act and he looked mad. He pounded his fist on the table but nodded. "Bring him in,"

The male officer left and then a second later the door burst open again A young man, with short hair and a fitted suit entered the room. He set his briefcase down then looked Detective Bisk in the eyes and handed him several pieces of paper. Detective Bisk took them and asked what this was about.

The lawyer began signing his name was Mr. Nix. I perked up recalling Eon had mentioned that was my lawyers name. He informed Detective Bisk he was my lawyer and I would not be answering any questions today. The following papers he'd just given were for court appearances on misconduct. He would be filing charges against Detective Bisk and this police department.

Detective Bisk scoffed. My lawyer...My kick ass lawyer continued to sign and speak. Informing Detective Bisk this whole case was mismanaged from the start. Evidence had failed to be properly collected after I was brought into the hospital and had been subsequently destroyed. His earlier questioning of me was not legal. I was still in the hospital recovering from a brutal attack. I was still in an unstable condition and on an array of medication. More over any statements I had made today would also not be admissible as right now I was also on medication to which Eon could testify giving me just before they arrive.

He went on that he had proof of witness tampering and taking evidence from lock up. Detective Bisk didn't seem phased by these accusations. My lawyer said Detective Bisk had knowingly given vital evidence to Janika Hones and her team breaking the chain of custody. He had also turned away two witness who wanted to testify to a previous attack by Mr. Jaids upon my persons. Yet when they came in to give their statements he turned them away.

Detective Bisk shifted in his seat, "We had enough evidence, we didn't need them. It's more then clear your client has been lying."

"That is for a court to decide," Mr. Nix said as he signed "As I said the previous statements are inadmissible. I have filed to have those statements thrown out. I will also be charging you with unlawful search and seizures. An unlawful detainment and arrest. You will release my client at once and if you or department have any future questions they will be directed towards me.'

Detective Bisk didn't seem intimated at all he laughed even before saying "Charge me with what you want. She's not going anywhere she is under arrest and will be charged with multiple sex crimes."

"Sex crimes to which my client is a victim of," said Mr. Nix. "These so call charges are also invald as they were done under duress."

"Duress!" Detective Bisk mouth got big as he let out more laughter and then said. "She didn't looked very under duress to me.'

I cringed realizing Detective Bisk had probably watched videos' of me multiple times.

Mr. Nix reached for his brief case and pulled out a file folder. He slammed it down on the table and then signed "If you had done your job and actually examined the video evidence properly. You would note several reflections of Mr. Jaids who my client previously named as her assailant."

I looked down at the table. Mr. Nix opened his folder and I saw several blown up pictures of Mr. Jaids holding the camera. Some of them he was naked in. His face was a bit screwed by the camera and shadows and the photos were blurry but I knew it was Mr. Jaids...then again I knew that before.

"Here are just a few of the images my team has been able to find so far. I provided you several shots along with a list of their locations times in the videos."

Detective Bisk picked up one of the images and looked at it. "It's blurry...this could be anybody"

"I'm sure when this goes to court you're department will have cleaned them up since it is their job to investigate and to prosecute him. Now if you have any further issues or concerns please feel free to contact me at any time.' He finished speaking and signing then shot out a business card.

Detective Bisk didn't take it. He simply stormed out the room. Officer Kate nodded to me, took Mr. Nix's card then followed out after him. Mr. Nix took a deep breath then turned to me and nodded. He signed 'Hello Song, I am Mr. Nix, Gideon hired me to be your representation I'm sorry we haven't properly met yet, I was hoping to introduce myself in a day or so after you'd had some rest. Please know my team and I have been hard working hard on your case.'

I signed 'Thank you'

He nodded looked me over and signed 'How are you doing?' Before I could answer he noticed my clothes and signed 'Where are you clothes?'

I used the response chart and told him they took my clothes when they strip searched me."

I could she he was upset, 'Strip searched you, they had no reason to. Are you okay to be left alone.'

I nodded. He snapped his brief case shut and signed, "If you'll excuse me for a moment,"

He got up and left the room. I sat there in near disbelief of what had just happened. I'd been scared, feeling intimated like things were about to go down and then my lawyer had come in and flipped everything. I looked at the table, my pictures were still scattered about, I bit my lip, thinking about what he said. At the time I'd thought of this all as our game together the thrilling things we had done….experimentation. There were times I'd been excited to see what we would do next. I wasn't sure if I was under this "duress" I wasn't really sure what duress meant. I looked at so many of the pictures, some of them had dirt stains, they must have been picked up from outside. A few were warped from water, another had finger prints all over. How many people had seen this...in my mind I'd worried about it happened but I thought only Mr. Jaids would see me like this.

I felt ashamed, I turned and looked over the things in the bags. I did recognize one of them...a lime green one. I recalled picking it out. I bit my lip looking at the fat file folder wondering what else was in it but didn't touch it, not with the camera possibly on. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to see it and didn't want to get in trouble...well any more then I already was.

I sat back in my chair, feeling sore and achey. I thought more about what my lawyer had said. He wanted them to release me...would I be able to get out of here...I didn't want to think of what would happen if I had to stay. I bit my lip thinking at least now they had some proof I was telling the truth with those shots of Mr. Jaids. He'd denied everything called me crazy...now what would he do.

I sniffled thinking of him made me feel sick. He was probably working...teaching some new class or at home with his wife and child. I wished I could go back in time and never take that class or not have him as my teacher...but what was done was done. There was no use wishing for what could never be.

I looked around wondering what time it was. I was suppose to have some medication by now. I wondered how Eon was doing, if this was stressing him out to much. I wanted today to go well but so far it wasn't. My first day back in the world and I might be locked up. A long while passed but eventually Mr. Nix returned. He had my clothes folded neatly in his hands I realized they were mine.. He set them down then signed we were free to go now.

He asked if I want to change here or back at the ranch. He offered to bring the clothes I was wearing back later. I looked over the chart and pointed out I wanted to leave. I didn't wanted to be here any longer then we had to be. I also knew I'd need help getting dressed. It was easier taking things off clothes then putting them on.

He nodded and offered out his arm to help me. I got up and we slowly made our way out of the interrogation room and down the hall. I saw Detective Brisk in an office someone was yelling at him. He saw us as we passed and gave me a dirty look. We moved through a large room with desk then down another hall and out into the lobby.

Eon was there as soon as he saw me he rushed up to me. He had my cane with him. We embraced and just held each other for the longest time, then he helped me put my cane. He noticed my clothes and asked what happened. Mr. Nix explained they'd strip search me. Eon was mad, Mr. Nix said he would be taking action. I just wanted to leave.

Outside we managed to make it to the front steps before we were approached by Janika. She'd been putting on lipstick and seemed surprised to see me out and about. I read Eon's lips as he said, ' Not her again, she harassed us all the way into the lobby.

"I got this," said Mr. Nix. He looked in a sleeve on his brief case and pulled out several pieces of paper. Janika hit her camera man to me and ran over to us.

"What did you do to get released so soon," asked Janika.

Mr. Nix immediate stepped in her way and handed her the paper work, he pulled from his brief case. I couldn't see what he was saying to her but she looked peeved. She tired to go around him but he go in her way. She took the papers, looked things over and started yelling. I turned from her looking forward, Chad had already gotten the car. It pulled up and we got in, the crowd that had been so upset earlier was gone. I found that weir I guess they thought I'd be in longer too.

I got into the Chad's car and we drove back to the ranch. Mr. Nix followed with us and Ceyril made us some hot chocolate. We sat down in a common room with a large table and discussed my case. Mr. Nix signed as he spoke to us that he'd found a lot of inconsistencies and proof that Mr. Jaids was lying. He also wanted me to sit with a sketch artist to describe the brother in law, doctor. He thought he might actually know him, having had a previous case with him. Eon worried if that would be a problem for him representing us.

He informed us there should be a conflict. Having me sit with a sketch artist would be good. He didn't want to bias me and also wanted to to do a sketch of the cabin what I could recall from it. He thought we could use it as more proof that Mr. Jaids had been lying.

He went over court dates and what I'd need to do. Most of the court hearings wouldn't need me to come a lot of it was work between lawyers. He had me go through my story again and tried to have me recall any details I could. Some parts were still sketchy but I remember the park the lights having been broken out. Mr. Nix said he could check to see if there was a work order to replace them around that time.

I was feeling kind of sick, Eon noticed and asked if I could call it a day. Mr. Nix agreed and began to pack up but I had a question. I used the chart asking what he meant by duress. He said it was threats, violence, anything that violated or put constraints on my ability to make a decision. I bit my lip wondering if this really counted as duress. I used the chart saying I don't know if I was always under duress...that sometimes I'd been more then compliant.

Eon shook his head and explain to Mr. Nix "We've been over this. She keeps things things are her fault."

I used a chart pointing out I'd made choices...I wasn always in pain or scared- Mr. Nix put his hand up interrupting me. He signed I didn't have to explain myself and wanted to put things in a different way that might help me see things better. He asked if Mr. Jaids were not my teacher, if he didn't have the power to fail me and if he didn't have the power to hurt me in any way, would I still have still entered into a sexual relationship with him.

I thought about what he said for a minute or so. I thought about Mr. Jaids before everything had gotten intense. He'd been nice to me had offered to be my friend but he was also my teacher and much older then me. I never would have considered doing things with him. I thought he was handsome and enjoyed the attention he gave me but I wouldn't...have had sex with him. After what happened with Eon I never wanted to have sex again. I put my fingers together signing no.

He nodded and signed "You would not have and if he hadn't pushed you, and threatened to hurt woul you have done those things in public on your own."

Again no I pointed to it shaking my head. I'd found a lot of the things wild and crazy but on my own without him I never would have dared do such a thing. I knew there were a lot of things I did not want to do and he pushed me...encouraged me to do more...take more. I recalled the times I said no...that I put my foot down and the looks he gave me...the sting of his hand across my face. I touched my face tears welling up in my eyes.

Mr. Nix gently smiled at me. He signed he knew I would not have. I was young, inexperienced and at a vulnerable state in my life. Mr. Jaids was suppose to power of authority. The law and his own employee handbook stated he could not date a student he teached no matter their age. It would be seen as inappropriate...a misuse of power and trust. He so wanted to mention he read I thought I was a masochist. I started to feel embarrass he knew such details but he'd already seen the tapes...already seen all of me. He got my attention and assured me whatever my sexual preference...sex should always be between two consenting adults. Even masochist had rules and agreements they followed. Clearly Mr. Jaids had not been respectful of the limits I'd tried to set.

I felt a bit better about things after that. He asked if there was anything else I was concerned with but I shook my head. I was feeling really tired then and moving slower. Eon wanted me to eat something but I wasn't hungry I'd barely touched my cocoa…I just felt sick and wanted to lay down. Eon picked me up after I walked a few feet. It was cold outside getting dark. He carried me to our room and got me ready for bed. He gave me some medication then tucked me in. I wanted him to stay for a while and set my hand on his until I fell asleep.

That night I dreamt I was back in the garage. For a moment I was afraid that I'd imagined getting out. Mr. was dancing around to music. He was upset angry he kept opening his mouth at me. He pulled out the hammer I'd brought with me for protection. The hammer I'd planned to use on Mr. Jaids if he wouldn't back down.

I read his lips. "Song...Song...What….What were you going to do with this? Were you going to hit me with it...hurt me. His eyes were wide and he looked manic….deranged, "That isn't very nice...you are not a nice girl Song. After all I did for you. All the orgasm's I gave that greedy cunt of yours and you would hurt me.' He paced around the room then came back to me 'What should I do with this.' He raised the hammer and waved it about, 'You know what I'm going to make sure you remember this lesson. You should never bite the hand that feeds you my love.' I worried he was going to hit my sex with it but he brought it up and up above my head...to where my hands were chained. I looked at him and he looked at me. He raised the hammer and I felt the impact.

I shot up in bed for a few minutes I was frantic...flailing about. Eon climbed in bed with me he took me in his arms and held me tight held me till I calmed down realizing it had all just been a back dream. Yet looking at my hands….i felt it hadn't been a dream. Eon rocked me until I was calm enough to fall back asleep.
