Olivia held the door of an apartment open as Jennifer walked in.
"So we're staying here until your apartment is fixed?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah," Olivia said. "Rollins is going to come over in a bit to talk."
"Okay," Jenn said. "What if he finds where we are now?"
"If he does, you'll be protected," Olivia told her. "I'm staying here with you until they catch the guy."
Jennifer looked at her worriedly.
"What if he hurts you?" She questioned. "Or Noah?!"
"He has people at his school watching him at all times," Olivia said. "If someone gets even ten feet away from him, he'll be subdued right away."
"I'm sorry if I seem paranoid," Jenny said.
"You have a viable reason to worry about these things," Olivia told her. "I would too." She motioned to the couch. "Now get off your ankle, sis."
They both smiled.
Jennifer sat on the couch and put her leg up.
Ryan woke up on Victor's couch.
"You're up!" Victor said. "Here you go."
He put Tylenol and water on the coffee table.
"What happened?" Ryan asked him.
"You got drunk after Jennifer yelled at you, and passed out on the couch," he said. "Now you're hung over."
"I don't drink," he said. He took the Tylenol with the water.
"Well, you were pretty upset with what Jennifer told you yesterday," he said. "So, I'm guessing you were using it as a coping mechanism."
"I can't believe she'd think I'd do that," Ryan said. "I've never told a soul."
"I'm going to ask you about some things, okay?" Clark told him.
"Okay," Ryan answered. " Could I grab something to eat first?"
"Yeah, sure," Clark told him.
Ryan went to the cabinet and grabbed some pop tarts, then sat back down on the couch. He tore open the package and started eating one of the pop tarts.
"So, one of the guys that helped the main guy with the second rape said that the rapist was a year behind Jennifer in school," Clark told him. "He said the guy was obsessed with Jennifer and she was creeped out by him. He also said you would protect her from him."
Ryan looked like he was thinking.
"I remember him," he said. "He would always sit next to me at the library." He looked like he realized something. "Wait…That's how he found out!"
"Found out what?" Victor asked him.
"That Jenn was a product of rape," Ryan said. "I would look up a lot of stuff like how to help someone that's a product of rape and stuff like that. She was really damaged from her childhood and she thought it was her fault a lot of the time. I wanted to help her. Why was I so stupid to look that up when he was sitting next to me?"
"You just wanted to protect her, Ryan," Victor said.
"I can't even remember his name. He wouldn't leave her alone. She kept rejecting him."
"How did you protect her after you graduated?"
"He would be hanging around her when I'd go to pick her up," he said. "I'd tell him to stay away from her. When she became a senior, he transferred to another school the second semester."
"I kind of remember him, but I don't remember his name," Jennifer said. "But are you sure that's the guy?"
"It all adds up and that's what Daniel told us," Rollins told her.
"Daniel?" she asked. "Don't tell me the other guy was Davis."
"Yeah… it was," Rollins told her.
"They were best friends, they've always been," Jennifer said. "Why would they even help him? We were pretty much friends in high school."
"Daniel said the guy threatened their lives and the lives of people they loved if they didn't," Rollins said.
"That's why they hesitated…," Jennifer said.
