A/N Ryder is worse than the show in this Fic
Meanwhile in LA General
"how's Beck" asks Andre finally recovering from his burns
"he's surviving, why" asks Nurse Geraldine
"can't I just want him to live, it's bad enough that stupid teacher even allowed Cat to mix those chemicals ahead of time" says Andre
"I hope you realize Cat isn't entirely free of fault either Andre, that teacher may have taken the blame but Cat chose to mix those chemicals early for a reason" says David
"you can't possibly be blaming her directly for that fire David" asks Geraldine
"it may not have been her plan to have a big fire but the day before the fire she had told me that a male student had tried to rape her, telling her that girls are meant to be loyal to a man not a woman, it was an attempted suicide Geraldine, she mixed those chemicals hoping the elephant toothpaste would eat her body" says David
"are you certain she was trying to kill herself" asks Geraldine
"I'm a cop Geraldine, I've saved many people from suicides, besides I talked to her for an hour trying to help calm her down, plus she had this note on her door, which used to be Tori's door" says David handing the note to Geraldine
"oh god, Andre look at the note, see the description, do you know who that is" says Geraldine showing Andre the note Cat had left
"if I had to guess Ryder Daniels, he was always trying to make advances on Tori, Jade and especially Cat, he's the type to feel he's entitled to sex up girls, he sees it as giving girls a 'hot' guy to have their first time with, if he cornered Cat and she had no way out I could see him trying that" says Andre
"he'd really have done that at school, surely he knew he'd have been arrested" asks David
"would he, Cat wouldn't have been the first person he'd raped at school, he once managed to lock himself in the girls shower room for half an hour, most of the girls were missing one piece of clothing or another when he let them out, he boasted for a week about having seen them naked, he was happy about it, one of the girls was Sadie, the girl Trina is dating, she came to me after Ryder had stopped boasting about it and told me he raped them all, that his dad was a cop and that he'd sue them if they tried to get him arrested, the locked Shower thing happened constantly last year, every week he'd do that" says Andre
"his father is a cop, now if you don't mind I'm going to talk to Randal" says David as he leaves
45 minutes later at LAPD headquarters
"Randal can we talk" asks David
"this better be quick, my oldest is having a party for his little brother later" says Randal
"ya about Ryder, you need to bring him in, I have information that he serially raped girls last year at his school" says David
"you can't be serious, Ryder wouldn't hurt a fly" says Randal in disbelief
"remember when Hollywood Arts burned down" says David
"yeah, Ryder's sister was one of the girls nearly killed in that fire" says Randal
"it was an attempted suicide by Cat Valentine, the experiment was supposed to be the Elephant toothpaste one and she was hoping to be swallowed up by the experiment because Ryder had cornered her at school the day before and tried to rape her" says David
"did she name him as the person" asks Randal
"no but I think I know why, when I brought it up with Andre he said Sadie, the girl my oldest is dating was a victim, he says Sadie said that he threatened them, boasting that you're a cop and they'd be arrested if they tried to call the police, that kind of threat would explain Cat's suicide attempt" says David
"then let's go talk to him, he won't lie to me" says Randal as David nods
At the Daniels Home
"Ryder can we have a chat" asks Randal with David standing next to him
"what's this about" asks Ryder as his sister Vanessa watches terrified
"we have a report stating you raped a bunch of girls last year" says Randal as Vanessa starts crying
"They're lying dad" says Ryder
"and what of Cat Valentine, did you attempt to rape her the day before that fire" asks David
"she's nuts, why would you believe anything she says" says Ryder
"are you lying, I spoke with her on the ride here, she was calm when she confirmed it" says Randal
"Dad" says Vanessa
"don't you go lying too Vannie" says Ryder very possessively
"I don't care anymore, you started raping me two years ago Ryder, I kept quiet hoping I'd have been enough, I can't stay quiet anymore, not after you attempted to Rape Cat, she's my only friend" says Vanessa as David cuffs Ryder
"I'll give you once chance to explain yourself Ryder, of all people you started with your OWN sister" says Randal angrily
"she started it, she had me rub tanning oil on her, what did she expect to happen" says Ryder
"I EXPECTED YOU TO BE A BROTHER NOT A RAPIST, it was a simple request, was that too big a request to ask, little bro Alex has no problem helping me and it doesn't get weird" asks Vanessa completely breaking
"it helps that I'm trans" says Alex
"omg I didn't see that coming" says Vanessa
"guess it's time you paid the price for the crimes Ryder" says Randal taking Ryder into the perp car
"Vanessa it's probably best you come with me" says David
"why can't I stay here, it seems safe now that he's not here, I want to spend time with my new sister" asks Vanessa
"because he probably has friends who would take revenge, if you insist on staying with Alex then how about a trip to London England till the trial, fully paid plane tickets" asks David as Alex giggles
"you mean I can wear dresses and not be made fun of" asks Alex smiling ear to ear
"I guess that means we're heading on a plane, is it possible if we pack first, I have things I don't want left behind" says Vanessa as Alex heads to pack
"yes but I must remain here, Randal they're doing a fifteen ten" says David finishing off by using his radio
"Roger that" says Randal as Vanessa heads to pack
20 minutes later as they come to David fully packed
"so how does this work" asks Vanessa handing David Ryder's phone
"ok so my friend is all prepared to fly you to London, when you get there get your bags and head to the entrance of the airport, Cat's father Darrel will be waiting for you with the big cardboard display saying V&A Daniel, you are to tell nobody but him your name, if you get lost ask for Eileen West, or head for lost and found, that's where she works, I'll take you to the airport where my friend will meet you" says David as they nod and follow him to the car
"is this like witness protection" asks Alex
"he raped your big sister for two years and you just outed yourself as trans, so yes in a way it is, I'm only suggesting the move to London England because California has a protection deal with them for rape victims, the current timeline for a trial would be easily a year from now, the Justice system here is pretty clogged up when it comes to trials right now, sending you to London is the best bet for your guy's safety, besides that's where Cat is, for similar reasons" says David
"that explains why she hasn't been answering my texts, ooh I can't wait to see her and her girlfriends, they were always nice to me, which is odd for Jade" says Vanessa
"are they okay with trans people there" asks Alex
"a lot better than they are here about it here, what's your preferred name" says David
"I want to be called Alexandria if that's alright" says Alexandria
"that's perfectly fine" says David as they near the Airport
"the name fits you sis…. David you trust this man to send us there, he's not a creep is he" says Vanessa
"he's a friend of Darrel, Cat's dad, they worked together here in LA, if Darrel had a case in another city somewhere in the states Jacob would fly him there, if Darrel trusts him I trust him" says David as they pull up to the airport where Jacob is waiting and get out
"shame about Ryder he had such promise, he could have been one of the best singers around, I'm sorry about what happened Vanessa you will be safe in London" says Jacob
"how can I trust you, I don't know you" asks Vanessa fearful of being raped
"I understand your fears, we're flying in a private Jet, it's just me and my copilot on the plane besides you and your sister, him and i will be in the cockpit, once we're up in the air you will have access to any number of juices, pops, candy or select fruits or vegetables, now we're on a tight schedule so we really should get going, put your bags in the back of the buggy and get in, I assure you that you will be safe, Darrel and David would kill me if I let anything happen" says Jacob as the girls put their stuff in the buggy
25 minutes later in the jet as it taxies to the runway
"now girls hang tight it's a stormy morning, there is going to be wind gusts, please stay calm, I will come on the speakers when we're up in the air ok" says Jacob
"ok sir, not a problem, we're probably going to take a nap" says Vanessa
"I like that he called me a girl, it makes me feel happy" says Alexandria
"you deserve it, that dress is a little big but it was the best one I had that could fit, it looks good on you" says Vanessa
"thanks, I've never felt so…. Me, did Ryder really do all that stuff to you" asks Alexandria
"unfortunately so, I really didn't think he'd rape me over a request to help me put on Tanning oil, unfortunately once I was on my stomach and oiled up he pinned me down, so anyway you hoping to go all the way, surgery and all" asks Vanessa
"I haven't thought about it, maybe, I don't understand why you'd keep quiet, were you afraid dad wouldn't believe you" asks Alexandria as the Jet shakes
"ow, talk about turbulence, it was on my list of fears yes, you don't understand the fear I went through at his mercy Lexi, I may only be a year younger than him but he's ten times as strong as me, after it happened the first time I gave in to his creepy ways, hoping to save others, it was foolish of me but I'm Cat Valentine's oldest friend, how could I be any different" says Vanessa
"you like her don't you" asks Alexandria
"we're too alike, I'm more inclined to her older cousin Cassandra but she's a model I'd never stand a chance, besides she's always super busy, even if i had a chance she's barely ever home" says Vanessa tearing up
"don't sell yourself short sis, I look up to you, I've wanted to be like you since I was a baby, if you don't have hope for love then how could I, I feel like an alien in my own body, how could anyone love me" cries Alexandria as Vanessa hugs her
"please give me some slack Lexi, being under Ryder's thumb, he made me do things that made me hate myself, I'd never had a choice, if he wanted to do me I couldn't say no without him hurting me, I have a lot of work to do to rebuild my confidence Lexi, it could be years before I'm confident in my own skin again, you will find someone who loves you, do you like boys or girls Lexi" says Vanessa
"I don't know probably girls, I don't want to be judged for who I am, my classmates hated me" says Alexandria
"we don't have to go back there if you don't want to Lexi, we can stay in London" says Vanessa
