Disclaimer: Ok. Here's the deal. I do not own Cold Case or any of its characters. Only CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer own these fabulous characters. Please!! DO NOT SUE!! I'm just a poor college student who is just writing this story for fun. If you do decide to sue well…it would be a waste of time on your part because like I said before, I'M POOR and I have no money to give to this already filthy rich man. Ok…got that out of the way now:)

Author's Notes: Wow! I'm finally putting my first story on here! WOO HOO!! I was suppose to put it up a couple of weeks after Christmas but I didn't have Microsoft Word at that moment and plus I didn't get my laptop (which I'm still waiting for…). But now that I'm back at school, I'm going to try and work on this. Don't be surprised if I don't update this story right away. I will admit that I get lazy a lot and plus I have a lot of studying and work to do during the week. So please forgive me if I don't update this within the next few weeks, months, or year!! (Lol I don't think I'll let my story sit for that long…) Anyhoo, this story is definitely a work in progress. I didn't even write the second chapter yet because I didn't know how everyone would react to this chapter. Plus I don't know how to carry the story out. So yea…please excuse any minor typos or grammar errors. They were not intentional at all. Hmmm… Well ok. Enough talking and on with the story:)

Lt. John Stillman couldn't help but release a loud sigh as soon as he approaches the entrance to the Philly PD headquarters. He could already tell that another long and stressful day was waiting for him and his team of five dedicated detectives. For the past couple of weeks the detectives had been dealing with a horrifying case that involved a drug lord shooting up a local pre-school. When John was first given this case, his immediate reaction was disbelief and disgust. The whole case was so shocking that it had taken him aback. The whole idea of someone heading into a pre-school and shooting up innocent toddlers was simply beyond him and something that he would never fully understand. In the many years that he had dedicated to his career, this particular probably hit him the hardest and quite possibly the worst he had ever dealt with. Whenever children were involved things were bound to get difficult and this certainly proved true for the current case. With him reliving the case in his head, Stillman just shakes it briefly before heading into the office.

Upon arriving into the building, John continued to lose himself in his thoughts until a slight whimpering noise quickly brought him back to reality. At first, he didn't think much of the noise. He assumed it was a bird or a small animal that was stuck somewhere within the building. He decides to continue his way to the department but as soon as he starts walking off the noise seemed to get louder. At this point, he had no choice but to investigate. It doesn't take long for him to notice a curled up, disheveled looking person hiding under the stairwell. If he hadn't looked twice he would have quickly assumed that this was just another homeless person looking for shelter. But one thing immediately changed his mind when he noticed the person's once blonde hair was now caked with blood and their clothing had been ripped in several places. Clearly, this person looked like a potential victim of violence. But before he could conclude to that he had to talk to the mysterious person that was in front of him and find out who they were and what happened. With his briefcase sitting beside him, Stillman kneeled down and gently touched the person's shoulder. As a result, this causes them to flinch slightly.

"Hey there. What's wrong?"

For a few seconds, the person doesn't respond to him. At this point, the only sound coming from them was their sobbing but they somehow managed to keep their head buried in their arms. Stillman really had no idea how to approach the visibly frightened person.

"Hey! Calm down for me and tell me what's wrong? Can you at least do that for me? Please?"

For what seemed like forever, the person finally looks up at him in defeat. When John sees her face, he couldn't help but let out a slight gasp and let his mouth hang open.

"Jesus…Lilly? What…? How…?"

What could he say to what he was witnessing at that moment? He didn't even know where to begin with his questions. Lt. John Stillman was truly at a loss of words. So many thoughts and questions were racing through his mind that he could not even focus right. Lilly's appearance was rather tragic. Her usually pale, but beautiful, porcelain-like face was engulfed with a huge bruise that almost covered her entire left side. Her lips were now bloody and swollen and if he wasn't mistaken, a large cut appeared to be on her bottom lip. Also, from what was visible, he could see the various cuts and bruises of different sizes all along her arms and legs. Just seeing her in this condition made John's stomach turn. To him, Lilly was…no, no. Let me rephrase that. Lilly IS his daughter. From the first day she joined the squad, he took it upon himself to look out for her. Not just because she was the only female detective in the department at the time but because he shared a special bond with her. To Lilly, John was the father that she never had and she was very grateful for the fact that he cared so much about her. Now, John was sitting down and embracing her in a big hug all while trying to blink back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes.

After a few minutes of embracing and calming Lilly down, John had finally decided to ask the obvious.

"Lil. I need you to tell me what happened and who did this to you."

Lilly looks into his eyes before responding. Her once sparkling blue eyes were now a dark, stormy blue that showed great fear. Although hesitant at first, she decides to somewhat speak up.

"J…John! I…I tried to escape as fast as I could but…but he was too strong for me. I tried fighting him off of me. I really did. I don't why he would do this to me! Then, I came here because I didn't know where else to go. Oh God…John!"

After her slight rambling had ended, Lilly broke down crying again. Of course, John continues to comfort Lilly.

"Shhh…Lilly. Calm down sweetheart. You're safe now. Who ever did this won't be able to hurt you anymore. I promise. But you have got to tell me who did this you. Otherwise I won't be able to help. Come on Lil. Do you at least have an idea who could have done this?"

"Oh God…please don't make me tell you. Please!"

"Lilly! Why won't you tell me who did this to you? Don't you want them caught and sent to prison?"

"But John! You don't understand! I can't tell you because you're going to do something bad to him. You can't mess with him!"

John looks at Lilly with pure confusion written all over his face. Why was she protecting the man that beat her so viciously? Something was definitely not adding up.

"Lil. Is there something you're not telling me? Why are you protecting this guy? What he did to you was a crime! Why are you allowing this punk to get off so easily? Huh?"

Lilly then quietly responds to his question.

"Because John. The guy who did this happens to be one of your best detectives."

"What? Who?"

She looks up at him with tears streaming down her face.

"Lilly! Who did this?"

John was clearly on the edge now. What he wanted to know desperately was which one of his detectives would be bold enough to attack one of their own.

"Lilly! Answer me!"

"Alright! Alright! It was Scotty! He did this and I don't know why!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, John was now in total disbelief. Why in the fuck would Scotty Valens want to hurt his partner? What could she have possibly done to deserve such a brutal attack? But there was something else that she was still not telling him and he wanted to know what it was now.

"Lilly, is there anything else that Scotty did to you? Please Lil. You've got to tell me! I know you're hiding something."

Her face then slightly turned red. She was feeling so ashamed and embarrassed for what she was about to tell her boss. Her father.

"John…he…he also raped me. He was so drunk. I couldn't get him to stop. God…I felt so helpless and alone!"

Lilly was now back to sobbing again. She didn't know what else to say or do. John on the other hand was beyond furious. His fatherly instincts were kicking in and he wanted to do nothing more that to hunt Scotty down like the animal he was and cut up his insides. What the hell was wrong with this man? No one would have ever suspected that Scotty Valens would be the one to beat up a woman and then rape her. He had some nerve. A lot of things needed to be done but just for the moment he just wanted to hold her. Hold her as if she were a little girl again. He just wanted to be there and comfort her the best way that he could.

"Lilly. Everything is going to be alright. I'm going to see that Scotty gets what's coming to him. I'm not allowing one of my people to commit a crime and then think that they can get off free. Not on my watch. Don't worry. He can't hurt you anymore."

But what John didn't realize was that the situation at hand was going to get a lot worse and the days and weeks went on.

TBC….

Ok! Wow! So that was the first chapter. What did u think? Boring? Didn't make sense? Too long? Terrible writing? People look, this is my first fic on here and I really have no idea where I'm going with this. BE KIND WHEN REVIEWING. Oh! And if you're curious as to where I got this idea well…I was kinda having a severe case of PMS and when I started this story I had the sudden urge to put violence in it. DON'T GET ME WRONG!! I love Lilly and Scotty together and wish that they would put them together on the show. But I wanted to create a story that was different from what has already been done in this section (at least I hope it's different). So please, DON'T SHOOT ME!! It's just a story!!! Well, please review and be kind! And if you like you can also tell me how I should carry on with the chapters. Ideas are welcome:) Oh I also forgot to apologize for the long details and lack of dialogue. I had to explain what was going on and whatnot. Please! I'm sorry. I'm going to make sure that there will be more dialogue in the next chapter. :)
