It was getting late and she knew she still had homework to do for her one college class. She said good buy to her friend and headed back to her dorm, which was a few blocks away. She wasn't paying attention to anything as she walked back home.

It wasn't until she was pulled into a dark alley way and pushed to the ground, she wished she paid more attention to her surroundings.

He jumped on her and punched her face. He then grabbed her wrists and turned her over to tire them behind her back.

"HELP!" The girl screamed out.

"SHUT UP BITCH!" He tired the straps tight on her wrists, where they where cutting into her skin. He picked her up and through her over a metal garbage can. He pushed up her skirt and ripped at her panties, removing them from her body.

"HELP!" She screamed out again. She knew she needed help. He was about to rape her and even though she knew her face hurt and would be bruised from where he punched her, she still had to try. She tried to wiggle free and away from him.

"I like it when they scream for help! Makes me feel powerful!" The man said and forced himself into her and started moving.

She yelled out. "HELP ME!..SOMEONE HELP!" She yelled again.

"No one is going to save you, no since trying." He said and grabbed her hips hard, which would leave bruises.

"HHHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!" She couldn't believe this was happening to her.

A man heard the screams and went in search of them. He pulled out his gun and rounded the corner. What he saw shocked him to no end. "FBI! FREEZE!" He screamed.

The man was shocked, out of all the times he's done this, no FBI agent caught him or any cops for that matter. He with drew from the girl and ran down the alley.

"I SAID FREEZE!" He watched as the man continued to run. He pointed his gun and fired, hitting the assailant in the leg.

The man fell to the ground. Putting his hand over his wound.

The FBI Agent looked over at the girl. "Stay here. I'll be right back." He looked at her and then ran down to the man. "You are under arrest for assaulting that young lady. Whatever you say can and will be used against you." He said as he handcuffed him. HE then radioed in for back up. "I have a man here who was raping a young lady. I have him in custody and I'm calling for an ambulance." He said into his phone.

"Thanks Agent.. Back up is on it's way."

"Thank you." He said and quickly made a call to 911 and gave them their location. He walked over to the girl when he was done with the call. "Are you ok?" He asked. "I'm sorry, of course your not. Let me get a picture of your wrists before I cut them lose." He told her.

The girl nodded at him. "Thank you for saving me." She said in a whisper.

"I'm sorry it took so long, I couldn't find you. It echoed." He pushed her skirt down to cover her up. He then pulled out the cheap disposable camera and took a few pictures of her wrists. He then pulled out his pocket knife and carefully cut the straps off.

When her wrists where free she stood up and pulled her hands around to the front of her and rubbed them. They did hurt and had cuts on them.

He put his pocket knife away and pulled out his badge. "I'm sorry, I'm Special Agent Walter Skinner with the FBI."

She looked at his badge and then up at him. "My knight in shining armor." She smiled. "I'm Kim Cook."

He put his badge away and then pulled out a note pad and a pen. He lead her over to a small set of steps. "I'm going to have to get a statement from you."

She sat down and looked at him. "I know."

"From the beginning if that's ok." He said and glanced over making sure they guy was still there.

"I was walking back to my dorm, I had just left my friends house. I wasn't paying attention and then I was pulled into this alley and knocked to the ground. He punched me in the face and then tired my hands behind my back. He then lifted me up and through me over the garbage can and proceeded to rape me. He ripped my underwear off and when I yelled for hell, he said he liked it when they yelled for help. It made him feel powerful." Her body shivered with that thought alone.

"I'm sorry."

The cops showed up and took the man into custody and made a copy of Agent Skinner's notes from what she said happened so she wouldn't have to go through it again. The ambulance arrived about the same time and put Kim into the back. Walter walked over to them. "Would you mind if I rode with her? I'm going to need a copy of the results to finish this case off with." He asked.

Kim smiled at him and nodded. Letting them know she was ok with that.

Once at the hospital, the nurses did a rape kit on her and took samples and plenty of pictures of all her bruises.

Kim hated going through all of this but knew it needed to be done.

A few hours later, Agent Skinner knocked on her door.

"Come in." She said from the bed.

He opened it and walked in. "Hey…" He said and walked over and sat down in the chair.

"You're still here." She said.

"Of course." He smiled. "I wanted to make sure you where ok."

"I will be thanks to you."

He pulled out his card and handed it to her. "If you need anything, just give me a call. The guy that did this I will make sure he gets life."

"Thank you so much." She took the card from him.

"I believe I have everything I need to wrap this up with. We shouldn't have to bother you for anything."

She nodded and stared at the card.

"Take care Kim Cook." He said standing up and heading for the door.

"I will try, Thanks Agent Skinner." She smiled and watched as he left her life.

9 months later she had given birth to a baby girl. She wanted to give her to a nice, loving, caring family, but her mother didn't like the sounds of that, she took the young child and raising her, herself. Kim stopped talking to her mom after that. She didn't want to be reminded of that horrible night.

Seven years later, Kim graduated College with being the top in her class four years ago and was working her way up. A friend of hers told her that the FBI was accepting applications for secretaries. She never forgot the Agent that saved her life. Granted she hasn't seen in all these years, but she was still thankful for it.

She received a call saying she got the job for the secretary for an A.D. She couldn't wait to start her job. It'd be good money and she wouldn't have to worry about anything again.

She showed up the next day and they took her prints and photograph so they could make her a badge of her own that would allow her access to anywhere in the building she needed to go. She was then told that she'd be on the forth floor and office room twenty four. She thanked them and headed up to the location.

She was just about to enter the office when a man was walking out. She had to stop and stare at him. "Agent Skinner?" She asked, he really hadn't changed all that much.

He looked at her for a moment. "It's AD Skinner.. And how can I help you?" He asked.

"AD Skinner? So, I'm working for you?"

"I was told I'd have a new secretary, yes." He said still confused.

"I'm Kim Cook." She held her hand out to shake hands with him.

His face went white as he looked at her. "Oh my god! KIM!" He hugged her. "Guess your doing really well."

"Yes.. Same goes for you. From Agent to AD. Very impressive sir." She smiled as she returned the hug. They then pulled away from each other.

"Thanks. Come in, I'll try and give you a run down on where things are in here." He said as he backed back into the office and shut the door.

She smiled and followed him in, glad she was finally able to get to know her Knight in Shining armor once and for all.
