The next morning came. Danny made breakfast for him and Linda. Danny and Linda go out to the living room and sit on the sofa. Danny says "I can't help you or unless you talk to me. I'm your husband you're suppose to tell me things." Linda says "I was raped I told him no, but he wouldn't stop." Danny says "you were raped? Linda says I told him, no but were on a date we had just met shortly before that. I'm not sure." Danny says "it doesn't matter if you were on a date or not. No means no." "When did it happen, honey"? Linda says "end of my sophomore year in college." He asked me out I accepted. He wanted to have sex the first week of dating. Danny says "what a pig." "Why didn't you every tell me? Linda says "I wanted to forget about it until I saw him a few days ago." Danny says "had you pressed charges on him? Linda says "yes, had the rape exam and he went to jail but now he must have gotten out early or escaped." "That's why I have been jumpy and tense because it's all coming back to me again." Danny says "Oh I wish you would have told me." Linda says "I'm sorry, Danny." He tightened his arms around her on a heavy breath. "I'm going to put a guard on you 24/7." Linda says "No, I will be fine." Danny says "give me his name? Linda says "Jason Black." Danny says "come on I want a doctor to check you and the baby over."
They went to the hospital. Linda and baby were checked over and both are fine even with the stress she was under.

He asked me out and I accepted. But during the first week of dating he wanted us to sleep together and I wasn't ready for that yet. Then he pushed me onto the bed and he got on top of me and raped me." I said no but he didn't stop." Then awhile back ago I was walking on the sidewalk and that's when I saw him. And seeing him again brought that nightmare back to me. So after week I told my husband my secret. And two weeks later he kidnapped me. He had a gun. When he was started doing things to me I had to get loose and save myself so I grabbed his gun and I shot him." The lawyer asks "when you were raped was that your first time? Linda says "no."
