Contains mentions of rape

"Dear the pathologists and police working my case" Leo read out to everyone in the layout room "You may be wondering why I sent you a box full of names and details. These were the ones I was going to make beg for forgiveness, well they were the ones I would continue with, I would have researched more if I had the will to do so. I am tired, I lost the one thing that was keeping me doing what I was doing, I was doing it for her so she wouldn't have to go through the same thing as I did but she's gone so there's nothing for me to fight for. She was the only thing holding me together, keeping me alive but that's gone now. I have given you the means to put fifty men behind bars, please do so. There are many more at my house, the place where I am going to take my life and there is another letter on the desk in my study explaining who I am, why I did what I did and who kept me fighting.

Thank you"

"There's an address at the bottom" Leo added "I was waiting for you two so we can go together and sort this out"

"I've found the note" Harry called out as he looked along the desk that was in the study. He picked it up with gloved hands and tried not to look at the deceased woman who was sitting in the chair in front of him, her wrists slit from her hand to her elbow. Nikki and Leo wandered in followed quickly by Mays who was still in shock slightly that the serial killer they had been hunting for months was a woman.

"We've found the trophies" Nikki told Harry and motioned down the hallway with her head "In another room preserved in jars"

"What does the note say?" Mays asked impatiently as Harry read through it first "Dr Cunningham?"

"Sorry" Harry shook his head and started to read "My name is Kathy Jones, I am twenty three years old and I am going to take my life. You may be wondering why I did what I did to those animals so I am going to tell you my reasons. When I was thirteen I was walking home from a friend's house one evening, it was still light out and I felt safe, it was only ten minutes from my own house" with this Harry looked up and Nikki and she gave him an encouraging nod knowing he was thinking about his sister "but I was grabbed from behind, dragged into an alleyway and raped. When I got home I told my parents, now they weren't the best parents, both were on drugs most of the time and they didn't believe me. They said I was lying for the attention and two months later when I told them I was pregnant they called me a slut and a whore, telling me to get rid of my baby. I refused and ran away to an aunts house and had my baby, a little girl who I named Eva May after my aunt. Six years later and I was accepted into medical school, it was hard raising a child and attending school but I wanted to give my little girl the best life, one I didn't have. My aunt moved to Oxford city to look after Eva while I was at the university, so I could continue to raise her and I completed my medical degree. My aunt died a year ago leaving my daughter and I alone. I wanted revenge for what happened to me, for people not believing me and letting my rapist stay free, among the thousands of other rapists and child molesters that stay out of prison. Well you know the rest, I researched into cases that had been thrown out of court and the ones that had never even made it to court. I wanted my daughter to be safe when she went out with friends, when she walked to and from school but I failed. A drunk driver hit her on her way home from school over three months ago and she died in hospital, I had nothing left to loose. I got tired however, I knew that what I was fighting for was gone, my daughter. I found that I couldn't live without my little girl, she was the only one that kept me fighting and now she's gone. Use the information I delivered earlier today to stop what happened to me happing to anyone else"

Harry stopped reading and looked around the room at the shocked faces of his co-workers before sighing and shaking his head.

"Such a waste" Mays muttered as he turned and walked from the room.

"I cant believe it's over" Nikki said to Harry as she sat on the edge of their bed that evening as Harry got ready for bed.

"Yeah" Harry mumbled "But the police are still re-opening the cases that Kathy had found and you know we never found out what those numbers meant"

Nikki just shrugged and sighed before standing up and letting Harry wrap his arms around her waist in a tight hug.

"I love you" he whispered into her hair as he pressed a kiss onto the top of her head.

"and I love you" Nikki replied and allowed Harry to push her gently back onto their bed and kiss her senseless, then he preceded to show her how much he loved her.

The End! I've already started to write the new multi-chaptered fic I have in mind. I dont know how good it is because I've never written anything like it before.

I liked the idea of Kathy going quietly not being caught and sent to trial, she was anonomous in life so I thought she should be anonymous in death. :P
