AN: Thank you for your reviews. This story is already written, however I finished a few months ago and am just starting to post it now. Updates should be frequent, but I am reading through it again as I go and making changes to the story as I second guess what I originally wrote. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please leave a review!!

"Yes, Kris is my sister; how is she?" asked Jill.

"Ms. Munroe is still unconscious. From the bruises on her face, wrists and chest, I would say that she put up a good fight. She also has a few bruised ribs, but those should heal in a few weeks. My main concern at his time is the amount of chloroform that is in her system."

"Will she be alright?" Bosley asked.

"Doctor, was my sister . . . was she . . ." Assuming that Bill's assumption was correct and that Kris' attacker was the man who had been raping and killing women, Jill could not bring herself to fully ask if her sister had been raped.

The Doctor understood what Jill was trying to ask her. "Based on the bruises in that area, I'm afraid so."

"Oh no," said Kelly. Sabrina put her hand on her forehead, as if a big headache had just affected her, and Bosley put his arms around Jill's shoulders.

"How long will she be unconscious?" asked Jill.

"It could be anywhere from thirty minutes to a few hours before she wakes up," the doctor replied. "She will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. We have moved her upstairs and a private room has already been arranged for her. Nurse Jane will take you all up to her room."

"You girls go ahead, I will meet you there. I need to call Charlie," said Bosley.

"I am going to go and call the station to update my Lieutenant," said Bill as he squeezed Sabrina's hand. "I am sorry, Jill." Jill just nodded at him in reply.

"Come with me, and I will bring you upstairs," said the nurse. Sabrina put her arms around Jill as the three friends followed the nurse in silence. The elevator arrived at Kris' floor and they all exited. Nurse Jane turned to Jill, "Your sister is in the last room on the right."

"Thank you," said Jill as they all she turned and walked down the hallway.

She stopped outside Kris' room. Sabrina watched as her friend stood frozen, unable to open the door. "Come on Jill, Kelly and I are here with you. We'll go inside together." Sabrina took Jill's hand in hers and opened the door. They walked inside.

Jill gasped as she saw the bruises on Kris' face. She stepped up to Kris' bed and put her hand on her sister's shoulder. "Kris, it's Jill. Bri and Kelly are here too and Bosley will be up shortly." She turned and looked and her friends, who offered her an encouraging, smile. Jill pulled a chair up and sat next to her sister, taking Kris' hand in hers.

Bosley walked into the room. He looked at Kris and his heart ached when he saw the bruises on her face. "Charlie asked me to keep him updated. He told me to tell you that he is sorry he didn't call you right away Jill. We all wanted to wait till we knew more about Kris' condition before we told you."

Jill nodded her head. "I know and I am thankful for that." Jill looked down and gently ran her finger over one of Kris' bruised wrists.

They sat there in silence for the next fifteen minutes. Kris' fingers started to move, and Jill looked up at her sister. "Kris, that's it open your eyes, honey."

The first face Kris recognized was her sister's. "Jill?" she questioned not sure of where she was. Reality set in as she looked at her friends, or maybe it was the pain that she suddenly started to feel radiate throughout her body. Tears started to form in her eyes as she remembered the events that took place earlier in the day.

Noticing how upset her sister was getting, Jill placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "It's okay honey, I'm here. You are in the hospital and everything is going to be fine," said Jill.

"I'll go get the doctor," said Sabrina and she ran out of the room.

"Kris, do you remember what happened?" asked Kelly.

Kris nodded. "I was woken up by a noise in the living room. I thought that I had overslept and you used the key I gave you to let yourself in. I walked into the room and that's when I saw him. He ran towards me and I was able to fight him off at first. He lost his balance and fell backwards. I ran to the table to get my gun out of my bag and he came behind me. We struggled some more. At some point I dropped the gun. He forced me into the bedroom and . . . and . . ." Kris started to cry unable to continue to speak.

"Shhh . . . it's okay when you are ready, you'll talk about it. You just rest now," said Jill as she ran her fingers through Kris' hair. Kris could only nod her head in reply.

Sabrina came back into the room with the doctor close behind. "Hello Kris, I'm Doctor Jackson. I took care of you when you were brought into the emergency room. How are you feeling?"

"I'm a little sore," Kris replied weakly.

"I'll send the nurse in with some pain killers." The doctor took out his pen and held it up so Kris could see it. "Kris, follow the pen for me." Kris was successful and the doctor smiled at her, "Very good. I want to keep you for a few days to make sure that there are no side effects from the chloroform and your bruised ribs. I'll be back before my shift ends to check on you."

"Thank you, Doctor," said Kris. After the doctor left, Kris looked at Sabrina and Kelly. "Chloroform?"

"A rag doused with chloroform was found hear your bed," said Kelly.

Kris looked at Sabrina, "It was him, wasn't it?"

Sabrina looked around at her friends and then she looked at Kris. "Yes, we think that it was." Tears began to flow to Kris' eyes.

Bill walked in the door and saw that Kris was awake. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm in pain, but the doctor says I'll be okay," she answered.

"I'm glad," said Bill as he and two officers entered the room. Bill turned and introduced them. "Gentlemen, this is Kris Munroe. Kris this is Mike Dudley and Dan Jacobs, they are officers assigned to my task force." They both nodded at Kris. "Ms. Munroe is a personal friend of mine, so I trust that you will take this assignment very seriously."

"What's going on, Bill?" asked Sabrina.

Bill nodded to the officers and they left the room. "Kris, all of the evidence points to your attacker being the same man that has been attacking the women along the beach. Because of your ability to defend yourself, you are the only one to have survived his attacks. Dudley and Jacobs will be posted outside your room and two officers will replace them at the end of their shift."

"I don't need police guards, Bill. I have my sister, and friends to look after me," Kris argued.

"I'm sorry Kris, but my hands are tied on this one. This is a direct order from my captain and Charlie is in agreement," said Bill.

"He's right Kris. When this guy hears that you are alive he might come after you to finish the job," said Bosley. "Besides, we are going to be out looking for this guy, so it would ease all of our minds that you have some extra protection."

Kris looked up at Bosley, "You're not going after this guy without me."

"You are not going after this guy at all," said Jill to her sister. "You are going to be in the hospital for at least two days and then you are going home and resting, and if we have to, we will all take turns babysitting you to make sure that you stay home."

"I agree," said Kelly.

"Me too," said Sabrina smiling at Kris.

Kris stared out the window hating the way she was being treated but understanding fully that they were right.

The nurse walked into the room. "I'm sorry but visiting hours are over, you will all have to leave now."

Jill looked at the nurse and then her sister. "Are you going to be okay by yourself?"

Kris nodded. "I'll be fine, besides I won't exactly be alone. I've got armed guards outside," said Kris with sarcastic humor.

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow."

Kris nodded to her sister in reply as Jill and her friends all said goodnight to Kris as they left her room. After they closed the door, Jill spoke with Mike and Dan. "If anything goes wrong, please call me immediately," Jill said as she handed them a piece of paper with a phone number on it.

"Don't worry, Ms. Munroe. We will not let anyone harm her," said Mike.

"Thank you," said Jill as she left for the elevators with her friends. Once inside the elevator, Jill turned to her friends and said, "I hope the police find this guy first, because I am not sure how I will react once I am face-to-face with him."

"Let's just hope that whoever catches this guy will find him before he can hurt another woman," said Sabrina as the elevator reached the bottom floor and they all exited.

"Let's go to the office and give Charlie a call, we need to discuss our plan of action," said Bosley.

At the office

Bosley, Jill, Sabrina and Kelly enter the Townsend Detective Agency and Bosley immediately heads to the desk and dials Charlie's number. "Hi Charlie, we just left the hospital. Jill, Kelly and Sabrina are here with me."

"How is she doing?" asked Charlie.

"The doctors want to keep her for a few days to make sure that there are no side effects from the chloroform and that her ribs have some time heal," said Jill.

"That's good," said Charlie. "How are you doing, Jill?"

"I am very eager to find this guy, Charlie."

"We all are, Angel, but I have to caution you all to be smart when dealing with this guy. We all want him to pay for his attack on Kris and the other women. Don't let your emotions take control of you."

"We won't Charlie," Kelly promised as she looked at Jill, who nodded in agreement.

"What's the plan Charlie?" Bosley asked.

"We need to set a trap for this guy," said Sabrina.

"That is exactly what the police have asked us to do," agreed Charlie.

"So, one of us will try to lure him out and play his next victim," said Kelly.

"I will do it," Jill offered.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," said Bosley.

"I need to do this, Bos. Besides, he has only attacked blondes," Jill argued.

"I am afraid that Jill is right," said Charlie. Bosley was about to object when Charlie continued to speak, "However, I think that you will be needed in another place, Jill." Bosley smiled as he heard these words. "I know that Bill has assigned his best cops to guard Kris, but I would feel more at ease if I knew that you were with her. She has been through a horrible ordeal and although she knows that we are all here to help and support her in any way that we can, she is going to look for the comfort from her sister. Seeing Kris through these next few weeks will probably turn out to be the toughest ordeal you have ever faced."

Jill sighed as she realized that Charlie was right, "Okay Charlie."

"Charlie is right," agreed Sabrina. "We will all be there for anything that Kris needs, but in order to pull this trap off, we need to have clear heads and knowing that you will be there to help Kris through this and protect her will ease our minds and allow us to focus on finding this guy."

"Kelly, pack your bags because tomorrow you are going to be moving into your new beach front home," said Charlie.

"I guess I better get out my blonde wig too," Kelly groaned as Sabrina smiled at her.

"What about me, Charlie?" asked Sabrina.

"You and Bosley are going to move into the house next door to Kelly's. I don't want to take the chance of this guy attacking Kelly without her having any backup. One of you should be in that house whenever Kelly is in hers."

"Right, Charlie," says Bosley.

"It's getting late we should all get some sleep and get started early tomorrow," said Bosley.

"Take care Angels and keep in touch tomorrow," said Charlie.

"Bye Charlie," they all answered in chorus.

"Jill why don't you come to my house with me and I will drive you to the hospital in the morning," offered Kelly.

"Thanks Kel, that sounds great," replied Jill.

"You're forgetting one thing," Sabrina states. Seeing the confused looks on everyone's face Sabrina decides to explain herself further. "Your car is at Kris'."

"Yes, I did forget," said Kelly.

"Come on I'll drop you two off, and I'll come back in the morning and pick you up," said Sabrina.

"I'll meet you three at Kris' room tomorrow morning," said Bosley.

They all agreed as they left the office together. Sabrina dropped off Jill and Kelly at Kelly's house and continued on to her apartment.
