Chapter 4

"Miguel," Kay's voice broke with emotion as she finally spoke, "hold me, please."

Miguel put his arms around Kay and rocked her back and forth until she was asleep. He kissed her forehead as she drifted back to sleep.

Ryan walked into the ER waiting room, "Where is Kay Bennett's room, please?" he asked the receptionist. She gave him directions and walked into the hall leading to Kay's room. The sound of Ryan's heavy boots smacking into the floor echoed through the silent halls. He reached her room and peered through the opening. He pulled a gun from his jacket pocket and aimed it at the sleeping Kay. His finger reached the trigger, sending an echoing, deafening sound through the room.

Kay jerked into conciousness screaming for help, "Shh, shh, Kay, it's alright now," Miguel said rubbing Kay's back and rocking her back and forth. She cried again and this time no end came to her tears.

"Kay, tell me who did this to you," Sam Bennett said sitting on the edge of Kay's hospital bed. Kay shook her head and clenched her eyes closed. Sam out his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "Please."

"I can't," Kay said through sobs, "he'll do it again!"

Sam wrapped his arms around his daughter as she cried, "When you're ready, I know you'll tell me."

Chapter 5

Kay pulled away from her father and looked up at his sincere, teary eyes, "I won't let him do this to you again," Sam said through clenched teeth trying to control his hatred for whoever did this to his precious daughter.

"Alright," Kay said wiping her eyes, "I'll tell you who did this to me."

Sam put his arms around his daughter as she told him the story of her rape and brutal beating. Tears ran down his face which was red from anger and hatred.

Kay pulled away from her father, "Please, dad, make sure he doesn't do this to anyone else." Sam nodded and put his grip around his daughter tighter, "I'll make sure this never happens to you again."

Sam held Kay the rest of the night until she was in a deep sleep. He laid her gently on her hospital bed and walked out of the room, shutting the door quietly. He pulled his cell phone out, "Yeah I want all units on the look out for a Ryan Reid."

Miguel opened Kay's hospital room and quietly sat down beside her caressing her back. Kay woke up and put her arms around Miguel's neck. Miguel laid down next to Kay in the hospital bed and they both drifted into sleep.

The next morning Kay woke up in Miguel's arms. Her eyes were less swollen and she opened them. She felt much better today because of everything that had happened the night before. She slipped out of bed and walked out to the hall were Simone, Reese, Charity, Jessica, Grace and Sam were all asleep in chairs. She looked around at all of them and smiled.

She began to open her mouth but a hand went over it and pulled her into the bathroom in her room. Ryan was standing over Kay and locked the door and began to tie Kay up, "Please, don't do it again!" Kay pleaded.

"It's too late you've already told someone who I was and I'm a man of my word."
