Disclaimer I do not own the Fosters
Marianna sat in a pew waiting for church to begin. This was not her usual church as one of her fellow members had driven through it. A teenager about her age came over and sat down.
"Hey are you new or a visitor from the Losat branch?" asked the guy.
"I'm from Losat and my name is Marianna Adams Foster" said Marianna smiling.
Marianna and they guy locked eyes. He thought she was the most beautiful women he had ever seen and she thought he handsome. He held out his hand waiting for her to take it so he could shake it.
"Well it's nice to meet you Marianna I'm Liam Stevens but everyone calls me Lee," said the guy.
Marianna felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise. She only heard the Liam part and it made her sick. She was about to respond in a negative manner when someone else came over.
"Hey babe is my loser brother annoying you?" asked the other guy.
"Grant this is Marianna she's from our sister church" said Lee.
"Well it's nice to have you, babe, wanna go hangout somewhere fun?" asked Grant.
"Sorry Grant but I see someone I've been meaning to talk to" Said Marianna getting up.
Grant and Lee watched as Marianna walked away to meet with a older women.
"So you trying to hit that Fagarella?" asked Grant.
"Stop calling me that and no I don't think she likes me very much," said Lee.
"Pussy, liking someone doesn't have anything to do with sex, but I will definitely fuck that sweet ass" laughed Grant.
"Leave her alone," Said Lee.
"Or what?" demanded Grant.
Lee didn't respond as he didn't really want to antagonize his brother. Grant snorted knowing he had won. Grant got up and left Lee wondering just what the best method would be to make Marianna his. Lee knew once Grant had his way with Marianna she would never comeback. He liked her but he knew he had no chance of winning but he could slow his brother down.
Marianna hadn't lied when she said she had seen someone he wanted to talk to. The older women noticed the younger girl coming towards her.
Hello dear how are you?" asked the older women.
"I wanted to get away from those guys over there and I wanted to ask you a question" said Marianna pointing with her head.
"They both look very handsome" said the older women with a smile.
"I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now" said Marianna.
"I understand dear, what did you want to ask?" pondered the older women.
"How's , will she be returning to church?" asked Marianna.
"No dear she won't be, she had a stroke that's why she crashed into the church, she's going to stay with her son in Oklahoma" said the older women.
"Oh wow I hope she gets better," said Marianna.
"I do to dear, by the way I talked to father Stevens, he agreed to a mass prayer for her, the Dee's and your sister" Said the older women.
Marianna was surprised when she heard that.
"Thank you but you didn't have to do that," said Marianna.
"I did honey, your here because of her and we need to thank her for that well...not the being attacked part and right now your sister needs all the help she can get" said the older women.
Flashback.
Lena opened the door letting Robert in. Lena smiled at him which he returned. Stef walked into the living room then sat down followed in by Callie who set some water down then left the room again.
"Water huh so I take it this was her idea and she's trying to figure out how to tell me?" asked Robert.
"Yes," said Lena.
Robert sat down as Callie came back. She placed the water down then sat down next to Stef with Lena taking the other side.
Robert we would like to thank you for the help you provided in discovering who was messing with Callie's credit rating" Said Stef.
"I had nothing to do with that, that credit belongs to the private investigator, I'm just sorry it took so long to get everything together to arrest this Liom Homestay" Said Robert.
"Um, his name is...Liam Olmstead" said Callie nervously.
Robert raised an eyebrow taking from her tone that there was more and he didn't like that.
"Callie did you know him before this?" asked Robert uncomfortable.
"I lived in his home a while ago when it was a foster home, he um he raped me...several time" said Callie trying not to cry.
Robert choked on his water causing his to have a coughing fit. Stef hugged Callie knowing this was hard for Callie and that this was a test to see how Robert reacted. Callie wanted to trust him to know him and she also wanted him to know her but how he reacted would be the thing that opened the relationship or ended it.
"Excuse me?" asked Robert.
"Well some of it was consensual and he wasn't the first person who...never mind" said Callie trying to blow it off.
"Callie don't do this to your self," said Lena.
Callie don't ever downplay what he did to you because you only give him more power" said Robert.
Callie started to cry mostly out of relief. She was afraid Robert would call her disgusting or a whore but instead he refused to let her wallow in pity.
"I don't care about the others I only care that Liam keeps coming back like your own personal boogeyman, key look you know I'm not the biggest fan of therapy but your mothers and I'll pay for it if you agree to go" said Robert.
Stef and Lena shared a look with a smile.
"Stef's mom beat you to it, she tricked me" said Callie.
Robert tried to hold back a laugh but a chuckle managed to escape.
"Callie I love you but I have no idea how to help you so I hope you go through with this" said Robert.
Lena smiled on the inside because weather he knew it or not Robert had indeed helped her.
"I don't want to do this but I made a deal with Sharon" said Callie.
"Hey Cal why don't you go grab your mask so you can show it to Robert" said Stef.
"Ok," said Callie.
Robert and Stef watched as Callie left the room.
"Something wrong?" asked Robert.
"Before they took Liam away he told Callie he would set her up as a conjugal visitor, I know that's not possible but I wouldn't put it past him to mark her a visitor so I was wondering if you could look into it" said Stef.
"Oh I see if you do it it's police harassment but if I do it they see a donation opportunity" said Robert with a smile.
"Sure will" laughed Stef.
"I can do that in...a week" said Robert writing it down in his planer.
Callie came back with the mask handing it to Robert. Robert flipped the mask around looking at all the features even at one point sniffing the mask.
"Hand carved, deep strokes, modern paint, this is a good piece, a little tacky for me but for you it's perfect" Said Robert.
Callie smiled but it quickly turned to a frown when the doorbell rang.
"Are you expecting anyone?" asked Robert.
"No" said Lena looking at her watch.
"Do you want me to answer it?" asked Robert.
"No I got it," said Stef.
Stef got up and opened the door. She found a young women standing in the porch light.
"Can I help you?" asked Stef suspicious.
"Hi my name is Jessica Mole, I was wondering if Callie Adams Foster lived here," said the young women.
"Why?" asked Stef.
"To congratulate her on the battle against Liam" said Jessica.
"That was 4 months ago," said Stef.
"I was busy, I had to meet with Sarah the other girl involved in the case, I also had to pay the Olmsteads for 'damages', call my dad, make sure my paper work for school was transferred" said Jessica.
Robert appeared in the doorway.
"For what reason are you paying the Olmsteads?" asked Robert.
"I'm one of Liam's victims and when I finally worked up the courage I tried to press charges but I lost that battle because I had no actual proof and there was no way I was going to say it consensual making it statutory but I won a different battle, their foster home was shut down but they sued me for emotional distress and because of their lawyer now I have to pay them on a monthly basis" said Jessica.
"Here call this lawyer he can can fix it for you so you won't ever need to pay them again" said Robert giving her a card.
