FallenStar08's note-Hey everyone! I'm so sorry I didn't finish writing this earlier!! I was on vacation for 4 days, then I had a bad case of writer's block for another 2 days. Finally I managed to finish this chapter. Well, I hope you all enjoy it! It's a bit evil, muahahah!:)
Sarah walked into the courtroom, feeling nervous. She knew it wasn't like Jules too be late, or miss a day without telling anyone. Annabelle met her at the entrance to the courtroom.
"So I assume you already know Tobias will not be appearing at the trial for its remainder?" she asked. "Yep, I heard. He's serving house arrest. Are there officers at his house 24/7?"
"Of course. They aren't letting him leave the house except to buy food and necessities. Other than that, he can't even go into his backyard. Don't worry."
Sarah nodded, but she still felt like something was wrong.
Annabelle seemed to sense this. "Sarah, don't worry. Now come on, the trial starts in 5 minutes."
"Okay..." Sarah said.
--In The Basement—
Jules woke up, her whole body was filled with pain. She couldn't move anything without it hurting. She then realized someone else was standing in the room. It was Tobias. He had a knife in his hands. "Hello Constable Callaghan. I assume you know what comes next." he said, a sick smile plastered on his face.
"What the hell is he talking about?" Jules asked herself.
Then she remembered. Tobias first beat his victims, then raped them. Immediately she started to struggle. Laughing, Tobias walked over to her and stood next to her. Putting the knife to her throat, he whispered in her ear, "You can scream, but nobody will ever hear you." Terrified, Jules began to cry, tears rolling down her face.
Tobias laughed, and untied her gag. He pulled her up by her hair, and then threw her onto the floor. He took out the recorder from his pocket. She sat up and looked at him, her eyes pleading. "You don't have to do this, remember!" she said, trying to keep the panic out of her voice. She doubted she could successfully negotiate with him, but she had to try. He seemed to sense this, and laughed. "You can't stop me. You can't try to "negotiate" with me." he said, and kicked her in the face. She fell back. He then started the recorder, and started to get on top of her, and Jules knew that there was no way out.
--At The Courthouse—
"Court will resume at 10:00 a.m tomorrow morning!" the judge announced.
Relieved, Sarah sighed and collapsed into her chair next to Spike.
"God, that was one hell of a day." she said, wiping tears from her eyes.
Spike leaned over and kissed her the top of her head. "It's okay, you were so brave."
She nodded, and cleared her throat as the rest of the team came over.
"You okay Sarah?" Greg asked.
She nodded."I guess. I can't believe Jules didn't show up though." she said, suddenly wondering where her friend was.
Greg shook his head."I guess I'll have to stop by her house later."
Sarah nodded, and reached into her purse and pulled out her phone. She turned it on, and realized Jules had sent her something.
"Hey guys, Jules sent me something. She sent it a half hour ago."
Frowning, she got up and walked over to where she could be by herself, and clicked on it. Apparently Jules had sent her a video. She pressed play, and what she saw caused her to begin to scream and start sobbing uncontrollably.
