A/N: Hey everyone thanks for the great response and all the reviews for the first chapter of this story, it was better than I could've imagined. Special shout out to the two reviewers for pointing out the few grammar mistakes slash typos I missed when editing the first chapter. I went back and edited it because I can't believe I posted it in that bad of shape. Anyways on with the story this chapter is as I promised longer and is also purely overall from Spike's point of view it will switch back to Winnie's in the next chapter. Hope you enjoy, hopefully I'll have the next one up sooner, and as always don't forget to leave a review.

Chapter 2:

It had been a rather quiet day for team one, no hot calls whatsoever, so when his shift had ended at six o clock Constable Michelangelo "Spike' Scarlatti had headed straight home to his still too new apartment and was about half-way through his second beer when his phone rang. Seeing Winnie Camden's name and number on the caller ID before he answered the phone was a bit of a surprise because although she was a pretty good friend of his she still didn't call him when they were away from work very often.

"Hello, " He greeted with a little concern.

That concern grew ten-fold when the only response he got in return was a quiet and painfully stuttered out, "Sp... Spik... Spike. He... Help m... m... me."

Quickly he set his beer down and was already heading out his front door, pausing only to grab his coat and keys when he asked, "Winnie what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

She didn't answer though instead all she did was start to cry.

"Winnie, I'm on my way okay, sweetheart," Was the next thing he said as he climbed into his car and started it. He continued talking to her the entire less than 10 minute drive to where she lived and once he was parked next to her little sedan he reached into his glove box and pulled out the gun he kept there before heading to her apartment.

"Winnie, sweetheart I'm here," He said before entering her already slightly ajar front door. Once inside he didn't immediately see her and he scanned her now messy apartment the bad feeling he had grew. "Where are you," He then asked.

"Ov...over here," He heard her shaky voice barely above a whisper say and what he saw once he walked past her couch nearly took his breath away. First off she was completely naked, second, her hair was matted with blood; more importantly when he knelt by her and tried to turn her towards him to get a better look she flinched and jerked away from his touch further curling into herself. That didn't matter though because he was now close enough to her to see the blood on her thighs. Cringing he knew that could only mean one thing, she'd been raped.

"Oh, Winnie," Was all he could say, letting his concern out way the seething anger he could feel bubbling up inside. What horrible excuse for a man would do something like this to a woman? Let alone a girl sweet, innocent like Winnie. With that in mind he took a deep breath and turned to grab a blanket off the couch, "Let me cover you up, okay sweetheart, I promise I won't look, alright."

She nodded and uncurled herself just enough to allow him to wrap the blanket around her. Once she was covered up he gently asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Winnie took a deep breath before saying, "You re... remember Josh, don't you?"

Spike nodded she'd told the team she was seeing him about a month ago, she'd even introduced him to the team briefly one day when he had showed up at work unexpectantly and well let's just say he'd been less than impressed. However he hadn't heard anything more about him since that one meeting and so he had just assumed they'd parted ways.

"Well, you see I called things off with him about three weeks ago and well I guess he didn't take that well," Winnie said her voice growing a little more steady as she began to tell Spike everything that had happened. "I... I tried fighting him, I swear I did, " She said her voice cracking a little, "I kept trying to do all the things that you and Wordy taught me but none of it worked."

By the time she finished she was distraught and in tears once again.

"Shh, it's okay I know you did your best sweetheart," Spike almost cooed as he tried once again to turn her to face him. She flinched once again but nonetheless allowed him to bring her a little closer to him. They stayed that way for a couple of minutes the only sound being her sobs before he murmured, "I'd love to help you cleanup but we both know I can't do that."

Winnie nodded, "I know thank you for coming though,"

"Your welcome," He replied pulling away so that he could slip his jacket off. Once he had it off he slipped it around her. Spike then looked at to see as if to ask whether or not she wanted to walk or if she wanted him to carry her.

Her only answer was the glassy look in her eyes and the trembling of her body. Yeah there was no way she'd be steady on her feet enough to walk so with that in mind Spike carefully lifted her up in his arms.

Winnie didn't say a word as he got her settled in the passenger seat of his car, she remained silent and stared out the windshield as he buckled her her in then went around to the drivers side and got in as well. She only nodded when he said that he was going to go ahead and call it in.

When he was done with that Spike looked over and asked, "Hey Winnie,"

"Yeah ," She replied turning to face him.

"I, well you know they won't let me stay in there when they do the exam or anything so do want me to call Jules, that way you have someone in there that you know?"

Winnie just nodded and mouthed a thank you before turning to stare out the window once again.

30 minutes later Jules was standing there outside St. Micheal's when Spike pulled up. Spike had told her on the phone briefly what had happened but still seeing the shape that Winnie was in as he carried her inside was quite a shock. She quickly covered that up though and followed the nurse to the exam room once they were inside.

Spike watched them as they took her away and didn't even realize Sam was there as well til he heard a voice beside him ask, "Are you okay?"

Turning he took the cup of coffee Sam was offering and took a sip before answering with an automatic yes.

As they both sat down in the waiting area though he elaborated. "God, Sam you should have seen her, she flinched when I went to touch her."

Sam just nodded urging Spike to continue.

"I think I knew before then though, but still to see her flinch, see the blood, and then to hear her say what that son of a bitch did to her. It just made it all too real."

Listening to the tone and watching the look in Spike's eyes it didn't take a genius to figure out that it wasn't some stranger that had done this to Winnie. "She knew him, didn't she," Sam asked even though he already knew the answer.

Spike nodded, "It was that ex of hers Josh, remember me saying there was something about him I didn't like, Samtastic?"

Sam nodded Spike's instincts were usually right, so to reassure his friend he said, "Don't worry the bastard won't get away with this."

"Damn right he won't" Spike agreed, "Even if I have to catch him myself."

With that said the two men fell into silence as they awaited for more news.
