Chapter 2

Hunter Grant and his boyfriend, Adam Kendrick, sat in Grant's kitchen eating breakfast.

"I had a really fun time last night," Kendrick said getting up. "However, I must be going."

"No," Grant said to his boyfriend. "Not yet."

"I have a client," Kendrick said. "But, if you want to have another night of fun, we could meet up at my house tonight."

"I like that idea," Grant said.

Grant and Kendrick shared a kiss. Kendrick then pointed at the window.

"Dude," Kendrick said. "There's someone in your driveway."

Grant looked at the window and say a red 2003 Chevy Cavalier. He then rushed outside and the car sped off. Kendrick walked outside.

"Damn it," Grant said. "I didn't get the plate number.

POLICE STATION- LONG BEACH

Sergeant Maxwell Clark sat at his desk while Eliza gave him her statements.

"Eliza," Clark said. "I know this is hard for you, but I need to know exactly what happened."

"My friends, Bridget and Kimberly, and I went to Torrance High School last night," Eliza said.

"Why did you go to Torrance?" Clark asked.

"We wanted to crash the Valentine's dance," Eliza replied. "We crash dances all the time. Anyway, this guy who said his name was Roger came up to me and asked me to dance. So as we were dancing, a chaperone asked Bridget and Kimberly to leave. As they left, I continued to dance with Roger."

"How long were you at the dance?" Clark asked.

"Not very long," Eliza replied. "The same chaperone told me to leave. I expected my friends to be waiting for me, but they had already left. So I went back to the dance and asked Roger for a ride home. He had me ride in the back."

Eliza began to cry once more.

"I'm sorry," Eliza sobbed.

"It's okay," Clark said softly.

"He stopped in the middle of this parking lot and asked if I wanted to have sex," Eliza sobbed. "I said no and he climbed into the back seat. I tried to escape, but the child locks were on. I screamed for help, but no one could here me."

Eliza wiped her eyes.

"He hit me in the face when I wouldn't stop screaming," Eliza sobbed. "He tore my dress and pulled off my underwear. He then forcefully had sex with me. And after he was finished, he forced me to "

"Did he wear a condom?" Clark asked.

"Yes," Eliza sobbed.

"Have you showered?" Clark asked.

"No," Eliza sobbed. "I just put on clean clothes."

"You'll need to do a rape kit," Clark said.

"Okay," Eliza sobbed.

Clark led Eliza out of his office where Bria waited for her.

"Mom," Eliza sobbed. "I have to do a rape kit."

"Okay," Bria said softly.

Bria looked at Clark.

"This monster who did this to my daughter is not going to get away with this!" Bria shouted. "We are going to press charges!"

Bridget and Kimberly ran into the station and over to Eliza.

"Eliza!" Bridget shouted. "I can't believe this happened to you."

"You must be the so-called friends," Clark said.

"Excuse me?" Bridget asked.

"You two are horrible friends to Eliza!" Clark shouted. "How dare you leave her?! If you had just waited for her, she wouldn't have been in that car, and she wouldn't have been raped! You two should be ashamed of yourselves! Real friends don't abandon their friends!"
