AN: Sorry my last update took so long, but like I said my computer crashed
with my files. I worked on this one for a couple of hours straight to try
and make up for the laps of time. Enjoy.
Peter cringed at the tape. He thought his dreams had been bad, but he was wrong. What was on this tape surpassed his worst nightmares about Aurora or otherwise. He felt his stomach churn and his head swim. If he had been anyone else he might have passed out. He looked over at Caine, and actually saw anger cross his face. Anger was not a usual emotion for Caine. Kermit stood calmly with his arms crossed over his chest. Peter couldn't see his eyes, but bet that rage would be mingling behind the glasses. Jody had to turn her head and the Captain took a seat on Peter's desk.
Peter could tell Aurora had set this up in her room. It was partially hidden behind some kind of stuffed animal or something. Aurora had pressed record and jumped into bed, pretending to be asleep. She was wearing a pair of blue p.j.'s with white butterflies all over them. A moment later her door was thrown open. She jumped up from the loud bang of the door as it hit the wall.
"So you finally decided to wake up?" A voice said. "I told you to be up early enough to make breakfast for me! Now I have to go to work hungry!"
A figure walked into site and they could all see that it was Tom. He was wearing a suit close to the one he had been wearing today, except the tie was green. Aurora pushed herself against the wall, eyes wide from fright.
"I..I'm sorry. I didn't mean to over sleep! Please don't hurt me again!"
Tom paid no attention to her desperate pleas. He walked up to her and backhanded her across the face, causing her to richochet off the wall.
"You are completely worthless! No wonder your father killed himself! He wanted to rid himself of a useless thing like you!"
He grabbed her by the hair and forced her to look at him. Then he kissed her, and grabbed her breast.
Aurora cried out under his touch.
After a moment he threw her against the wall. Tears were steadily flowing down Aurora's face.
Tom laughed. "Do you actually think I would want a vile thing like you? What man would? Well, maybe Dominic. Perhaps I should call him."
"NO!" Aurora cried. "PLEASE! I am sorry! Don't call Dominic please!"
Tom slapped her again and then punched her in the ribs. Aurora lost her breath in a large whoosh. She sat there gasping for air, when Tom left the room.
A moment later he came back in, gun in hand. Aurora, still trying to breath, pushed herself farther against the wall as if it would swallow her and keep her safe from Tom.
Tom opened the gun. He pulled out seven bullets: One for each chamber. Then with a wicked smile on his face, he placed one bullet back in the gun. He spun the chamber and pointed it at Aurora.
"You have two choices," Tom told her, gun aimed at her head. "One is that I can call Dominic and you can spend an hour alone with him. Or two is that I can pull the trigger, and you take the chance of dying. What will it be?"
Aurora looked up at him. Fear present in her large, golden eyes.
"Pull the trigger."
Tom smiled. "As you wish Princess."
Aurora squeezed her eyes shut, as Tom cocked back the hammer. He placed the gun to Aurora's forehead and then stopped. He pulled the gun away. Aurora looked puzzled as well as relieved.
"Open your mouth," Tom told her.
Aurora didn't act right away. Tom hit her across the face with his free hand.
"Open your mouth, now!"
She did as he asked, and he shoved the gun forcefully in her mouth. He pushed it so far that Aurora started to gag. He cocked back the hammer, and Aurora closed her eyes. Then he pulled the trigger.
There was a click, and then nothing. The gun hadn't gone off. Aurora took deep breaths, apparently relieved at the fact that she wasn't dead. Tears streaked her face, and Tom's hand. He pulled the gun out of her mouth, and she started to cough. He looked at the tears on his hand, and then hit Aurora with butt of the gone, rendering her unconscious.
Tom laughed as he walked out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Peter could kill him, along with every other person standing in that room. He turned off the tape and turned towards Simms.
"Is that enough proof to get a warrant?"
Simms stood up. "Oh it's more than enough, but we have a problem."
"What's that?" Kermit asked.
"When Tom came back he bailed Dominic out. He's staying at the hotel with them."
"How fast can you get us a warrant?" Peter asked, calmly. Calmer then he should have been, but hysterics would have gotten him nowhere.
" I'll have a warrant for you in ten minutes." She quickly walked into her office.
"I'm going with you kid," Kermit told him.
"So am I," Jody agreed.
"I will accompany you as well," Caine told his son.
Peter nodded, grateful that he had so many people to back him up, and who wanted to help Aurora.
Ten minutes later T.J. Kincaid walked into the precinct, looking like his normal self. He walked up to Peter and handed the warrant directly to him.
"My father said, take whatever action you deem necessary to get her out of there safe. Simms's told him all about the tape. No one like's a kid being abused. Not even my father."
Peter put a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks T.J. and tell your father I said thanks as well."
T.J. nodded his appreciation.
"Alright, people let's go get her!" Peter announced.
Simms walked out of her office a second later. "Don't think you're doing this without me."
Peter smiled. "Thanks captain."
Simms smiled in return. Then she became serious. "All right people what are we waiting for? Let's go get that little girl."
The five of them left the precinct and headed straight to Tom West's hotel. They were there in fifteen minutes even though it should have taken them at least forty minutes. They pulled up with sirens off. No use in scaring them away after all.
Simms went to the front desk and flashed her badge to the clerk. He was a man, tall and in his early forties. The sides of his hair were full of gray, while the top was a soft brown. His eyes were a slightly darker brown then his hair. He was wearing a black suit outfit with a striped black and gray tie.
"I'm Captain Karen Simms. I need to know the room number for a Tom West."
The man nervously nodded. The last time the police needed a room number it was a drug raid and he had taken over ten thousand dollars to repair his hotel. He did something on the computer and turned back to the Captain.
"He's in room 207 on the second floor. I don't know what's going on, but please try not to destroy my hotel this time!"
Simms only stared at the man. "We'll do our best," she said cynically."
They five people quickly made their way upstairs. Karen didn't want to go in their guns drawn, because they were all itching to pull the trigger. Well, everyone except Caine that is. Karen knocked on the door, and Michael answered it. He looked at the small group huddled around the door.
"What is it now Captain?"
Karen held up the warrant. "We have a warrant for your brothers arrest."
"For what, may I ask?"
"We have in our possession a tape which shows Tom beating Aurora. Now please let us in, before we have to use forceful entry."
Michael looked at Simms with a harsh look. "Of course Captain."
He stepped back from the door and let the group enter. It was a spacious hotel room done in shades of blue. There was a beige couch against the far wall with a coffee table in front of it. Across from that was a TV. There were three other pale blue doors to the right of them. One was opened and you could see it went to the bathroom. The other two, were assumed to be the bedrooms. Jody was the last one to come through the door. Michael grabbed her and quickly put a gun to her head.
"HEY!" Jody shouted.
"Shut up!" He said pushing the gun against her temple. "Everyone drop your weapons!"
Peter, Simms, Kermit, and Caine all did as he asked. The dropped their guns on the floor and kicked them away.
"TOM!" Michael yelled.
"Just relax," Simms said. "No one needs to get hurt here."
Tom walked out of the bedroom a second later. He was now wearing navy slacks and buttoning up his shirt. His hair was a mess and he didn't look as though he just woke up. The worst of thoughts came to Peter's mind and anger clouded his vision.
"What is going on Michael?"
"They got the tape."
Tom sighed and walked over to the crowd. "I am sorry to hear that. The question now is what to do about it. Michael please let the young woman go. They have no weapons. They will not be leaving any time soon. Especially without Aurora."
Michael let Jody go, by throwing her against Kermit.
"Where is she?" Peter asked angrily.
"In the bedroom with Dominic," Michael replied nonchalantly.
"You son of a." Peter took a step toward him.
Michael raised his gun towards Peter, but Caine quickly kicked it out of his hand. Peter hit Tom with a right hook, sending Tom to the floor. He then ran for the bedroom to look for Aurora. He went into the bedroom Tom came out of and Sheila was lying naked in bed under the covers. She jumped up when Peter through the door open. Peter ignored her and ran out of the room.
On the way to the second one he picked up one of the guns off the floor and charged the door open, aiming the gun at air. Dominic was passed out on the bed, fully clothed, which as Peter thought was a good sign. He thought it was odd, however Dominic didn't even stir. He walked over to the bed, and noticed a needle still sticking out of Dominic's arm. He felt for a pulse, but didn't find one.
Peter looked around the room. It was done in the same blues as the living room. He went to the closet and threw open the doors. There was a cedar chest on the floor of the closet. Peter flung open the chest and found a beaten, unconscious Aurora.
"Dear God!"
He lifted her out of the chest and laid her on the floor. Part of her hair was matted to her head from blood. There were fresh bruises covering her face and arms. Blood trickled from her nose and mouth. He felt for a pulse and was relieved to find one. It was weak and thready, but it was there.
Caine came in the door a second later, followed by Kermit. Seeing the situation Caine quickly knelt beside them looking over Aurora. Kermit ran to the bedside table and grabbed the phone to call for an ambulance.
"Is she going to be all right Pop?"
"I do now know, yet."
Caine was palpating Aurora, to see if there were any broken bones. Even though unconscious she winced when he touched her ribs. Kermit knelt next to them a moment later.
"An ambulance is on the way."
Caine pulled out a few herbs, lifting Aurora's head. Peter noticed her breathing was becoming labored.
"What's wrong Pop?"
"Her ribs are broken. They have wounded her lungs."
He fed the herb into her mouth and Aurora began to cough. Blood trickled out of the corner of her mouth.
"Jesus," Kermit said. "She's bleeding internally."
"The herbs I gave her will stop the bleeding, temporarily," Caine explained, as he rested her head on the floor.
"What happened out there?" Peter asked.
"Sheila came willingly," Kermit began. "Said she would testify against Tom for a reduced sentence. She knew she was going down as an accessory."
"What about Tom and Michael?"
"They are both alive, but unconscious," Caine explained.
Jody and Karen came into the room, stopping in their tracks after seeing Aurora. Neither of them said anything because, there was nothing to say. Lying in front of them was a little girl, beaten and bruised, because they couldn't stop Tom from taking her. Karen suddenly felt her stomach start to swim.
"I'll um..I'll go wait for the ambulance."
Kermit noticed Simms face go pale, and her quick exit out of the room. It just wasn't like the tough as nails captain. Something was wrong.
"I'll be right back."
Peter nodded, understanding as he watched Kermit exit the room. Jody came over and knelt beside them.
"Is she going to be all right?"
Peter looked at her solemnly. "I hope so Jody. I really do."
In the living room, both Tom and Michael were unconscious on the floor, with their hands handcuffed behind their back. Sheila was sitting on the couch looking around, with her hand cuffed as well. She was wearing a grey shirt and blue sweat pants. Captain Simms was sitting on the arm of the couch, with her head in her hands.
"You all right Captain?" Kermit asked, walking up to her.
Simms jumped, from the sound of his voice.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's all right Kermit. I just didn't expect anyone to follow me."
"What happened in there?"
"Nothing. I just thought someone should wait for the backup and watch over these two so that we make sure they don't get loose."
"With all due respect Captain they're out cold, and handcuffed. They're not going anywhere."
Simms sighed heavily. "I just don't understand how they could do that to her. How could they hurt her? I mean she's just a baby Kermit. A baby."
Kermit was about to respond when Tom sat up. Simms quickly grabbed her gun, causing Kermit to whirl around.
"YOU CAN'T TAKE HER! TONIGHT MARKS THE FINAL CEREMONY!" Tom screamed. "I MUST HAVE HER POWER!"
Kermit and Karen looked down at the man who was writhing toward them.
"He's insane," Karen said.
"Tell me about," Kermit replied.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I MUST FINISH THE CEREMONY! HAVEN'T YOU FELT HOW STRONGS SHE'S BECOME? HER POWERS ARE SO WELL BUILT NOW!"
As he finished the statement, back up and EMT's rushed through the door.
Kermit pointed towards the bedroom. "In there quick!"
"Get the rest of these people out of here," Karen told them.
The EMT's rushed into the bedroom. Kermit followed, while Karen took charge of the situation out in the living room. The EMT's were trying to get Peter to move away from Aurora when Kermit entered
"Sir, please let us help her."
Caine leaned down next to his son. "Peter, let them do their jobs. She will be all right."
Peter looked at his father and nodded. He got up and stepped back so the paramedics could get in there. Peter watched as they set up IV's and put her on oxygen. They worked quick and efficiently and before Peter knew it they had her on a gurney and were loading her into the ambulance.
"I'm riding with her," Peter told one of the EMT's.
At first the man looked doubtful, but finally nodded. Peter climbed into the ambulance. They slammed the doors, and left for the hospital.
Caine turned to Kermit. "May I ask another favor, Kermit?
"I'll be more than happy to give you a ride to the hospital."
Caine patted his back. "Thank you."
Karen walked up to them. "Jody and I will stay here and take care of things. Just let us know how Aurora's doing."
Kermit nodded. "You got it. Come on Caine, let's go."
