A scream pierces the rainy Houston night. A woman is lying in a ditch near the highway and traffic is no where to be found. One car is driving slowly trying to not slip off the road and notices that there is something in the ditch. "What is that?" He asks himself.

He gets out of his car and into the cold pounding rain. He slips down into the rain filled ditch and turns the thing over to see it is someone he knows and his jumps back at the site of what has happened to his mother in law.

"Mrs. H? Are you all right? It's me Van." He saud shaking her trying to wake her up. Van notices that there is red straks of blood on her clothes and her face is bleeding badly.

"All right Mrs. H, time to get you out of here." Van said lifting up her body and carrying her up the ditch and he put her in the backseat. Van flips out his cell phone and dials his father in law's number.

"Van what do you want?" Brock asked. "It's Mrs. H, something's happened to her and she's bleeding all over the back of my car." Van said. "What happened to Reba?" Brock asked getting worried. "I don't no, but she's got cuts all over her arms and her blouse was half open, so I'm guessing someone raped her, and then threw her out on the highway and she fell into the ditch." Van said as if he'd seen it happen.

"All right well get her to the house as fast as you can and try not to run off the road." Brock said. "All right." Van clicked his cell phone shut and he heard rustling sounds from the backseat.

"Mrs. H?" Van asked touching her shoulder. Rebaa let out a scream and shielded her face. "Mrs. H, it's me Van, I'm not going to hurt you." He said.

Reba was crying and shivering and Van couldn't help but feel sorry for his once strong mother in law.

"It's all right Mrs. H, I promise I won't hurt you, who did this to you?" Van asked turning around in his seat to see if she would answer.

Reba pointed out the window as if motioning darkness. "Was it someone you knew?" Van asked. Reba thought about it and shook her head no. "Mrs. H, why won't you answer? You usually want to say something like I'm a mo-ron or something." Van said.

Reba looked out the window again and Van could tell she was so frightened, that she wouldn't even speak. "Don't worry Mrs. H, as long ass I'm alive, nothing bad will ever happen to you again."

A/N: No this won't be a Van/Reba one, that's just wrong, but I thought since Van is actually sometimes to dumb to realize things and something finally wakes him up, do yall think I should continue or not? I promise if yall like it the chapters will get longer.
