Disclaimer I do Not own the Fosters.
Stef walked into the police station the next day eager to begin the hunt. Stef was pissed. Somehow Liam escaped and put her daughter in a coma. She wanted to hurt him so bad it had been a dream when she did fall asleep.
"Stef!" called a voice.
Stef followed the sound to Captain Roberts who was waving her over. Stef walked into her bosses office wondering what this was about.
"I'm sorry to do this to you but it has to be done, Stef as of right now your on paid leave for the next month," said Captain Roberts.
"What!, No I need to be on this case!, that bastard put my daughter in a coma, he raped her Again!" screamed Stef.
"Officer Foster watch your tone, this case is too personal for you so I gave it to Morra and Lapin," said Captain Roberts.
"Why?" demanded Stef knowing full well what Lapin thought of her.
"Because when Callie was reveled to be the victim Lapin was first in my office asking for it," said Captain Roberts.
Stef was surprised. Lapin made it clear that he did not care for Stef's lifestyle as it was against his religion. He wasn't rude or anything but the fact he was silently judging her made her sick.
"Stef go home be with your family, I already assigned an undercover to your home and one for Callie in case..." said Captain Roberts who didn't want to finish that sentence but Stef had been thinking about it too.
Stef had no choice she was taken off active duty but that didn't mean she couldn't learn the details of the attack. She left the office looking for Morra knowing he would be easier to deal with but she only found Lapin who had his head down. She walked over to speak to him but he got there first.
"Stef I know we don't get along due to our difference in lifestyles but we both value family and I would appreciate it if someone gave me the same courtesy if it were my daughter," said Lapin pulling up a chair for Stef.
Stef took a seat as Lapin passed the file. Stef held her breath as she looked at the pictures of the crime scene, her daughter the victim. They had gotten pictures of everything. The recorder with the women's voice asking for help, the pole with blood on it, her necklace that had a broken chain, the blood on the ground that Stef assumed came from Callie's face, her pants, and a single shoe which both were cast aside.
"Her phone had been kicked to the side, I can only imagine what must have been going through her mind at the time," said Lapin.
"They had to surgically remove her eye," said Stef staring at the picture of the pole.
"Stef I chose to do this as a way to make amend for my behavior towards you, it's not professional, you should have seen the line once mike called," said, Lapin.
"How bad?" asked Stef.
"Even the civilian staff member's but they all turned back when I said I was going to do it, cops look out for one another that includes their kids so when we catch him I'll make sure you get 5 minutes alone with him," said Lapin.
"I might only need 1," said Stef.
"Key look I know I'm not supposed to do this but it looked sentimental," said Lapin holding out Callie's necklace.
Stef took it horrified by what she saw. Unlike Callie, the necklace and pendent had been treated carefully but now the chain was broken and the pendent was bent. It hurt Stef to think what that meant about Callie.
Lena
Lena sat in her office staring at some piece of paper not in the mood to even see what it said. She had came to work thinking it would get her mind of Callie but it hurt even more as she felt guilty for even thinking that. She heard a knock at her door and looked up to find Monty and Timothy. She waved them in hoping their presence would help.
"How is she?" asked Timothy Callie's favorite teacher and crush.
"She's in a coma if she does wake up the best out come is she never walks again," said Lena.
"Damn," said Timothy,
"Is...this the third time he's raped her?" asked Monty scared.
"2nd time physically, the one before he stole her identity," said Lena.
"Do they know when she'll wake up?" asked Monty worried.
"No," said Lena trying not to cry.
"Callie hasn't been giving very many breaks not even here," said Timothy thinking back to the incident.
"Ok I just like to say while Talya was wrong for what she did, I blame Brandon just as much for driving her to that point," said Monty.
"Oh definitely," said Timothy.
"I just wish that wasn't the reason Callie opened up, she did it before she was ready and it hurt her," said Lena.
Flashback.
Callie ran to her locker frantically searching for her journal. Brandon, Jesus, and Marianna watched her not sure what was going on but it worried them. Callie had been searching for her journal since last night. She knew she took it home but she couldn't find it. There were things inside that journal she didn't want anyone to know especially Jude. Stef had come to the school with them as she had noticed Callie trying to hold her back her tears.
"Marianna?" asked Stef.
"I think she's missing something," said Marianna.
Stef decided she was going to ask Callie what was wrong when she got her answer.
"Hello students and faculty of Anchor Beach, as you know we recently got a new student, jailbird Callie Jacobs, she may look tough but deep down she's a softie, in fact, she keeps a dairy which I managed to acquire!" said a voice over the intercom.
People were already whispering wondering what was going to happen. Callie stood in place frozen by dread.
"Dude what is your girlfriend playing at!?" demanded Jesus turning towards Brandon.
"Hell if I know, Talya broke up with me," said Brandon.
"Found a good one and it's recent too!, I like him but not like that, he an adult and my teacher, my favorite teacher, he has a nice ass...Oh my, so it would seam Callie Jacobs has a crush on a teacher but. Which. One. Could. It. Be., Oh here it is it's Timothy!" laughed Talya.
Callie could here several people talking and feel them pointing at her. She could feel her body grow cold as sweat poured off her. Timothy and a security officer ran past heading for the intercom room as this was bullying.
"Ooh lookee what I found an ex-boyfriend named Liam!" sang Talya.
"Noooo!' screamed Callie in fear.
"He made me come to his room this time, told me to get to my knees as he pulled it out, he told me I needed to do it right this time or he would make...Jude...do...it...Oh!" said Talya once she realized what this meant but the damage was done.
"Callie!" called a young voice. It was low but it was also the loudest word said in school that day.
A thousand pairs of eyes turned to look at Jude while only one looked at Callie. Brandon and the twins shared a look. Stef took a step closer but she didn't want to spook Callie.
"Callie was I not safe at the Olmsteads?" asked Jude.
Now everyone looked at Callie wondering all the same thing. Callie tried to hide her fear and her tears but she was losing the fight.
"No you were always safe there I swear, Liam promised he wouldn't hurt you, he was just mad that night," said Callie choking back tears.
Some people were horrified by the way she justified this unknown person's actions, while others disgusted by her simply because they didn't know any better.
"Callie what did you have to do?" asked Jude.
To Stef's horror Callie bolted not towards Jude but out the door. Stef raced after her afraid she would hurt herself. She hadn't know Callie long but she knew Callie would do anything to protect Jude even if that meant getting hurt in the process. It made her wonder what Callie even about herself as a person. Stef came to a stop when she found Callie sitting in the sand crying. This was not the first time Stef had found Callie crying but not wanting to upset her she said nothing but this time she would comfort her.
"Love do you want to talk about this?" asked Stef sitting down.
"He was never supposed to know," said Callie with her face hidden by her hair.
"Then why write it down?" asked Stef confused.
"To better protect him" mumbled Callie.
"You can't protect him forever love," said Stef sadly.
"I know., That's what the journal was for, to remind me of all the times I failed him," said Callie sniffling.
Stef felt her heart rip into pieces at that statement. She wondered if Callie only saw herself as her failures.
"Callie what does having a silly little crush have to do with failure?" asked Stef as she thought about it.
"I had one on Liam," said Callie.
Stef sighed she could see that anything even remotely normal was considered bad by Callie.
"Callie was that the first time with Liam?" asked Stef worried.
"No" mumbled Callie.
"Callie why is that one experience with Liam in there?" asked Stef.
"The next day he got us kicked out by telling them I tired to kiss him, he was mad I wasn't able to do what he wanted...correctly, Jude was safe in that home," said Callie.
"So was that the last time?" asked Stef.
"A year later they were shut down because someone sued or something," said Callie.
"That's not what I asked Callie" demanded Stef.
"No but he did show up at the next home and gave me a really expensive purse," said Callie still hiding behind her long hair.
"How expensive?" asked Stef curious.
"I never found out the real value but I just wanted it gone so when some girl offered me $300 I gave it to her," said Callie.
"What did you spend the money on?" asked Stef knowing it would be pretty basic stuff.
"Food mostly, some tampons, black thread, a new sewing needle, underwear for Jude and because it was going to be his birthday a candy bar," Said Callie miserably.
It saddened Stef to think something as simple as a candy bar had ended becoming birthday special for Jude.
"Callie do you remember what I told you when you came to stay with us?" asked Stef.
Callie didn't respond. She just sat there crying. Stef wanted to hug her but with Callie, it was more miss than hit.
"Callie you want a hug?" asked Stef.
"I don't want to be touched right now," said Callie.
"Do you want to go home?" asked Stef.
"Not really Jude's going to be there and he's going to have so many questions for something I never wanted him to know about," said Callie.
"Don't worry Mama will have your journal under lock and key in her office?" said Stef proudly.
"Won't matter Jude knows how to pick locks, I taught him in case things got bad?" said Callie with a sad chuckle.
"Oh," said Stef deflated.
"Do I have to go back to school?" asked Callie worried.
"We'll give you a few days off, do you want some coffee?" asked Stef.
Callie turned her head slightly causing her hair to fall and revel one wet eye.
"But you and mama have been telling me I cant have it anymore," said Callie.
Stef smiled because while Callie might not have realized it but she just called Lena mama. She wanted to hug and kiss her but Callie was in a mood where she was to hurt to lie and made it clear she did not want to be touched.
"We'll make today an exception," said Stef smiling.
"Ok," said Callie getting up with Stef.
now.
"She avoided Jude for a week but he eventually managed to confront her," said Lena.
"You know there is one good thing that did come out of that," said Monty smiling.
"Don't say it!" groaned Timothy.
"What would that be?" asked Lena laughing.
"Timothy does have a nice ass and for once it was a man getting sexually harassed" joked Monty.
"I need new friends," said Timothy shaking his head.
