CHAPTER 2

Charlie and Bianca quickly, rushed into the emergency ward of the Summer Bay hospital. Nurses rushed over, when they noticed Bianca was crying. She was unable to speak so the nurses looked towards Charlie.

"Um, Bianca was raped" Charlie whispered, not wanting for anyone else to hear. She knew exactly how Bianca would be feeling right now. Ashamed, dirty and all she will want to do is constantly shower and clean herself. And the very last thing she will want to do, is talk about it. And for everyone to find out about it. The nurses gasped, as they pulled her into the closest room, leaving Charlie to worry about her bestfriend. This was gunna be hard for her, and Charlie was gunna be there for her.

Charlie walked her bestfriend into the local police station. Everyone looked at them, when they saw that she had been crying.

"What can i do for you?" Watson asked. Since Charlie wasn't actually working at the time she couldn't file it.

"Um, Angelo Rosetta raped me" Bianca sobbed. Watson gasped but wrote down the poor girls statement.

"When exactly did this happen?" Watson asked.

"Last night, after everyone left. I was upset about Heath and everything and he was comforting me until he started to.." Bianca sobbed as Charlie hugged her. She felt helpless. Cause she knew, Bianca would just want to be left alone.

"I have it on tape. I was looking over the brawl thing and when i called you, it was on fast forward and yeah.." Charlie told her partner. She nodded.

"Im sorry about this Bianca" Watson said, feeling sory for the blonde woman standing before her.

"Thanks" Bianca continued to sob as Charlie comforted her friend.

"Okay, you can leave now" Watson told them, as Charlie handed the woman the tape, and walked away alongside Bianca.

Watson and Joyce sat in the office, as they pressed play and the tape started to play out. They fast forwarded until they saw Angelo sitting with his arm wrapped around her. Fast fowarding a bit further, they came to a bit where they heard Bianca's criees and Angelos laugh as he realised that he had succeeded. All he wanted to do, was hurt Charlie. And this was the closest way to doing so at the moment.

Charlie and Watson knocked on the black door, waiting for Angelo to answer. After, they heard noises but no one came to the door, Charlie knocked down the door with her foot. Inside, they found a suitcase as if someone was packing and there was junk everywhere. Charlie walked into the kitchen, looking in the cupboards but he wasn't in there. Next walking into his bathroom, she also found nothing. But this time, walking into the bedroom, she noticed a foot hanging out from behind a curtain. And there stood Angelo. Scared about what his fate might be.

"Angelo Rosetta, you are under arrest for the rape of Bainca Scott. You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say or do will be used against you" Charlie said, as she handcuffed the man and roughly pulled him towards the door. He looked down. The sad part about this, was that he didn't regret it.

Later that day, Charlie was in her office, waiting for news about finding Brodie when Watson barged in.

"They got him" she said, as she walked back out to find Brodie handcuffed, by Joyce. He walked him out and towards the jails. Towards the 4th cell, he pushed him inside. Brodie looked behind him, when he heard a noise. Looking back, he noticed the ex-cop, Angelo Rosetta lying there, fast asleep. He gasped. He was sharing a cell with an ex-copper.

Ruby walked into the local diner, to find Charlie sitting there. She looked really upset and angry at something.

"hey, whats wrong?" Ruby asked her. Charlie looked up at her daughter and tried to put on a brave face.

"You can't tell anyone" she made her promise. Ruby nodded.

"Um, its Bianca. She was raped.. by Angelo" Charlie whispered. Ruby gasped.

"SHE WAS WHAT!" she screamed. Everyone stopped and looked at them.

"Ruby, be quiet. You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone" Charlie said and he daughter nodded. Just then, a certain Braxton walked in. He looked at Charlie, making his heat skip a beat. Charlie looked up and hers did the same. She didn't know what to do about it. He was a riverboy. She couldn't be this attracted to him let alone be with him.

"Hey Sargeant" he said, walking over towards Charlie.

"Darryl" she said, trying to ignore the fact that she really liked him. He smiled at her.

"Hows life?" he asked, trying to make small talk.

"Not so good" she replied, standing up and pushing past him. He looked at Ruby, confused.

"Real smooth Brax" Ruby laughed, as she chased after her mother.

Bianca was at home, trying to get sleep on the coush when she heard a knock at the door. Since no one else was home, she had no other choice but to answer it. Opening the door she saw Heath standing there. As ssoon as she saw him, she broke down into tears.

"Hey, whats happened?" he asked, worried.

"Um, i was ahm.. i was ra.. rap..." she started to say, before she broke down into tears once again. Heath wrapped his arms around her back, comforting her.

"Don't worry. I know what you mean" he said, hugging the woman.

"Aww Bianca. Its okay" he said. She smiled at him, as the tears finally stopped. She really liked him and he seemed really nice. If he was gunna be for her, she might actually get through this.
