Part 24

Shawnie got up again and Nate let her go this time. Shawnie thanked Max and walked out of the pool hall. She was about to get in her car when she phone started to ring. She grabbed it and answered it. It was Josh again. She told him that she had one more stop to make and then she would be home. She got in her car and drove straight to the police station.    She walked in and asked the sergent at the desk if she could talk to Detective Parker.    She was shown to his office where she could wait for him. She sat down in the chair across from him and waited for him to get off of the phone.
When he was done he looked at her and said "To what do I owe this surprise to see you."
"I have a question, and I think you might be able to answer it for me." she said.
"Okay go ahead and shoot." he said.
"I was wandering if you could still press charges or arrest someone that raped someone three years ago." she said calmly.
He looked at her and said "Why so long ago?"
"She wanted to forget about it but now he is back in town and is tormenting her. Is there still ground for that?" she asked.
"Well let me see if I have this straight. This girl was raped three years ago, and didn't do anything about it then and now she wants to because he is back in town. Well there could be ground for harrassment, unless we have some proof like a rape kit test results." he said to her.
"What about the clothes that she was wearing that night? Would that work?" she asked.
"Yeah that would work. We could get the semen stains or anything like that. Does she still have the clothes?" he asked her.
"Oh yes she still has the clothes. She put them in a box to burn but never got around to it." she said.
"Well bring in this girl and the clothes and we will send them to the lab for test. Then we will go from there. How does that sound?" he said.
"Give me twenty minutes and I will be back." she said as she stood up.
"Okay I will still be here. It was really good to see you again honey. You need to stop over sometime and visit us sometime. Bring Skeet to. I miss my niece and nephew." he said as he gave her a hug.
He walked her to her car. She gave him another hug and said "I will be right back Uncle Steven."
He waited until she drove away before he went back inside.

When Shawnie pulled in the drive way Josh was waiting outside on the porch for her. She gets out of the car and walked to the porch and Josh stopped her from going in the house by saying "What are you doing now?"
"Josh I am busy right now. Why don't you just go home and I will call you later on tonight. Okay." she said.
"What the hell is going on Shawnie? What are you doing that you don't want me to know about?" he asked her.
"Josh, it is so complicated right now. I will tell you but not right now. I have something that I have to do right now. Don't worry I will tell you in time. Soon very soon. Okay." she said and then opened the door.
She headed up to her room with Josh following her closely.   She walked over to the closet and grabbed a big box off the top shelf and threw it on the floor.   Josh had sat down on her bed. She picked up the box and headed for the door again. Josh followed again.
She started to head to her car again when Josh said "What is in the box?"
She stopped and turned to him and said "I will tell you later. I have to go. Josh please just go home. I have a lot to do and I don't know when I will be home."
He looked at her and said "What is with all of the secrets?"
"There isn't any secrets. I have a lot to do right now. I will tell you later. Okay just don't get mad. I promise I will call you when I get back." she said and leaned up and kissed his cheek.
She threw the box in the passager seat and got in.
Josh watched her pull away.
When Shawnie went back to the police station she went straight back to her uncle's office. She walked in and sat the box down on his desk and said "Here are the clothes."
"Okay let's got to the lab then." he said picking up the box.
She followed him to the lab. They didn't say a word to one another. When they arrived at the forensic lab he knocked on the door and walked in.   Shawnie was right behind him.   They were greeted by an older women. He handed her the box and said "Here are the clothes."
"Okay good lets get started then." she said grabbing the box from him.
She sat the box on a steel table and put on latex gloves. She looked at Steven and said "Get that clip board over there and write this down as I tell you to okay."
He grabbed the clipboard and said "Okay ready."
She grabbed a box cutter and cut the box and inche from the top. Shawnie sat down on a stool and watched as they were disecting her clothes. The women took out her shirt and laid it out on the table. She didn't say a word until she had all of the clothes laid out neatly on the table.   She looked at Shawnie and said "Do you know whose clothes these are?"
Shawnie looked at her and then at Steven and said "Yes, I do."
"Is she here with you?" she asked her.
"Yeah she is right here." Shawnie said in a whisper.
Steven looked at her with a shooked look but he didn't say anything.
"Okay I am going to need have you name and what happened?" she said.
"No problem." Shawnie said.
"First of all my name is Chris. That way we are introduced to one another." she said.
"Shawnie Parker." Shawnie said.
"Okay tell me what happened and the date that the raped occured?" she said.
Shawnie cleared her throat and said "It was April sixth of two thousand. We had a dance at school and I had a date with this guy. We were at the dance for about two hours when he said he wanted to show me something. I didn't know what it was but he said that we had to drive to see it. I was stupid and went along with him. He took me to a place where everyone goes to watch the shuttles go up. I just thought we were going to see a shuttle go up. We were looking at the sky for awhile and then he started to kiss my neck. I told him to stop, but he didn't. He forced me in the back seat. He held on to my hand so tight that I thought he was going to break them. He tore my shirt off and then my bra. He was so much stronger than I was so I couldn't move. I kept telling to stop. I was begging him to stop, but he kept tearing my clothes off. I started to cry when he tore my underware off. I had a skirt on as you see. That was went he started to have sex with me. I was already crying because he was hurting me."
"I hate to ask you this but I have to. So you didn't want to have sex with him?" Chris asked her.
"No, I was still a virgin and I didn't want it to happen like that." Shawnie said.
"Okay I just had to ask." she said.
"So is there anything you can get from the clothes?" Steven asked.
"I think so. Let me get the light and find out." Chris said as she grabbed for the light.
She reached over and shut the over head lights off and turn on the blue light.   She started running it all over the clothes slowly and then stopped.
"I think we have something here." she said.
She grabbed a swab and started taking samples. She had taken three different swabs and then turn the overhead lights back on.
