Wild Kat 11
"Easy its ok your safe now" said Tyler. He sat up slightly and cradled Kat in his arms. His ribs hurt like hell but he didn't care all that mattered was that she was safe. She was still crying so he tightened his grip. She kept apologizing to him over and over. "It ok, I'm not mad at you, I'm just glad your safe ok," he said softly. His throat hurt and his lip was bleeding on her hair.
Mostly because she was still leaning on his chest. The other boys walked back over to them. Aaron and his friends had stopped fighting back and were just lying there moaning in pain. The boys were wiping bloody lips or sand off of themselves. Other than a few bruises the Ipswich boys looked no worse for wear.
"Is she all right??" asked Pogue she was still upset obviously and he couldn't blame her for that. "I don't know she won't stop crying," said Tyler "her put this around her said Caleb. He had noticed her torn dress and didn't want to cause her further embarrassment. He handed Tyler his navy p coat.
Tyler helped her to slide her arms into it. Then he buttoned it shut. It covered her to her knees like a dress. "Maybe we should take her to the hospital?" said Reid. He was looking down at her with a look of concern. "Good idea, I'll have Sarah meet us there" said Caleb
He was very worried that Aaron and his friends had succeeded in doing something to her before they had gotten there. This wouldn't have been the first time a girl had been traumatized by one of Aaron's so called parties.
Some of the girls never recovered from them either. Aaron was a menace and deserved to be in jail. Him having money was the only thing keeping him out of it. Since Aaron usually preyed on the girls with reputations or from poorer families none of them were able to do anything about it.
Tyler stood up slowly and tried to get her to stand up. She was still sitting in the sand sobbing. Tyler wiped his hands through his hair. He wasn't strong enough to lift her and he didn't want to use because it might freak her out more. Caleb solved his dilemma for him and scooped the girl up in his arms and carried her to his truck. Reid climbed into the drivers seat and Tyler sat in back holding her close to him. He had to buckle her seatbelt for her because she seemed to be in a state of shock.
Caleb got in his car and Pogue got on his bike. Before Reid had a chance to Caleb flattened all four of the tires on each of Aaron's and his friend's vehicles. Before he put his car into reverse and followed Reid to the hospital. Pogue was right behind him. He dialed Sarah's number. "We found her meet us at the hospital" said Caleb. He knew he sounded upset and he didn't care he was "the hospital? What happened?" said Sarah. "I'll explain there just meet us there." Said Caleb
"Ok I'll be right there," said Sarah. She hung up and pulled on her shoes. Kate did the same after Sarah said where she was going. Kate had been there long enough to know the aftermath of an Abbot beach party. They were pulling on their coats as they walked out the door. Kate locked the door and quickly ran after Sarah to catch up.
"Why would he take her to the hospital?" said Sarah as she started her car. "Sarah there's something you should know about Aaron abbot's beach parties," said Kate. She wasn't sure how to break this news to her friend but she had to know. "What about them?" said Sarah. She turned onto the highway.
"Aaron Abbot and his friends abuse girls at those parties" said Kate "like how?" said Sarah her stomach was doing nervous flip-flops. "Sexually abuse them Sarah, they rape them" said Kate. "Oh my god" said Sarah in horror. Sarah floored the gas pedal and kept it floored the rest of the way to the hospital.
She made the hospital turn almost on two wheels and Kate was clinging to the handle above the door. Sarah pulled into the first space she saw and jumped out of her car throwing it into park and turning off the ignition at the same time. Kate followed a bit slower, she was slightly shaken by Sarah's driving.
Sarah was running for the door. She had already spotted Tyler's hummer and Caleb's car. Kate followed her up the stairs. Sarah was already to the front desk. Caleb met her in the lobby "oh god is she all right? I'll kill that bastard," said Sarah.
Kate walked in a bit slower and Pogue folded her into his arms without saying a word. Kate accepted the hug she could tell he was upset. So were the others by the looks on their faces. Tyler wasn't in the lobby with them. "Where's Tyler?" asked Kate
"He tried to take on Aaron and his boys all by himself, he was trying to save her" said Pogue. "Oh god is he ok?" said Kate. Pogue walked her towards where the others were sitting. Sarah was crying on Caleb's shoulder, she was too upset to do anything else. "He has some broken ribs possibly a concussion their not sure they want to keep him overnight" said Pogue
Reid snorted, "you wouldn't be able to get him to leave anyways not with Kat here" said Reid. "How is she?" said Kate. "We don't know they won't tell us, maybe you two would have better luck," said Pogue sourly.
He felt bad because he couldn't at least tell Tyler she was ok, because they wouldn't even let the guys near her. He had heard them say something about a kit before leaving the room as they requested. He could guess what kind of kit they were referring to.
Caleb was talking calmly to Sarah, telling her what happened. Reid was on the phone, talking to his father. Mr. Garwin was a prominent attorney in the state.
He advised Reid to stay put and that he was on his way to the hospital. Reid hung up the phone "he told me not to let her sign anything or you to without him reading it, unless its for the doctors" said Reid to Sarah and Caleb. Sarah nodded "he's on his way here" said Reid.
Normally his father was the last one Reid would call in a crisis but this was a legal crisis and his dad was a lawyer. Plus he was a good friend with Judge Simms, even after the Judge retired last year. The fact that the Judge's son was dating this girl was enough to get Mr. Garwin up and out of bed in a flash.
Even though he didn't always understand his son, Mr. Garwin did care about him. He also knew that the Simms boy was his son's closest friend in the covenant or otherwise. A thought he kept in mind as he pulled out of the driveway at nearly midnight and headed for the hospital.
He parked his Lexus in the parking lot next to a beat up Volkswagen and walked into the lobby. His son saw him and stood up. The boy was covered in bruises but otherwise looked no more than worried. "Now tell me what happened all of it so I don't get blindsided by Abbot's team of sharks" said Mr. Garwin
Reid proceeded to tell his father everything that happened from what Tyler had overheard to him going out alone to rescue her. He even told him about the damage he and the others had done to the boys. "There could be repercussions for that but I should be able to make it look like you were in the right, which you were, don't get me wrong son you did good" said Mr. Garwin. Reid smiled praise from his father was rare. "Are they letting you see her yet?" he asked "no she's too traumatized" said Reid sadly. His dad patted his shoulder.
"Sarah's going to try though she's her cousin so they should let her in" said Reid "yes well sometimes women are more effective for things like this" said Mr. Garwin. Sarah was talking to the lady behind the nurse's station. The woman told her she would check and then came back a few seconds later. The nurse motioned for Sarah to come with her.
