Marah's Mystery Man
Chapter 1
"Jeffrey where are you right now. I'd like to come over to talk to you about my designs for the fashion show. I figured you could give me a guy's perspective." Marah also wanted to hear his voice, but she didn't want to let on to him that that's why she called.
"I'm at the Beacon. Come by now if you want to talk to me. Because I'm all my way out to the office." Jeffrey hung up the phone and waited for Marah to show up.
A few minutes later, while keeping her emotions down, Marah arrived at the Beacon.
"Thanks for meeting with me. I know that you have some place to be. But it'll only take a few minutes." Marah strutted into the room with some of her designs strung over her left arm. Her white blouse with pink roses on it began to glow as she walked into the light.
Jeffrey took them off her arm and began looking at them. He didn't say anything at first but his eyes told Marah his true emotions.
"So I assume you like them?" Marah asked curiously.
Jeffrey showed no sign that he heard her as he continued to fumble through a stack of papers on his desk. "Yeah, Marah they're great. I think you did a good job on them. You have some real talent. But I think you better go. You know you're not supposed to be here. Now I have to go to the office, so can we do this again some other time?"
Jeffrey was beginning to get frustrated at Marah and tried to get her to leave. Marah got the hint and headed for the door.
"Fine Jeffrey, you don't seem to care about my work. When you don't care about what I do, then you obviously don't care about me."
Before Jeffrey could shut the door, she interjected with, "I thought you were different than other guys. But I was wrong. You're like all the other guys. Only concerned about your job and never about relationships. All you care about is being the District Attorney of Springfield." Marah hurried off with tears starting to form in her eyes.
Jeffrey didn't say a word. He just waited for her to leave and then he headed off to the office.
Chapter 2
Marah needed to clear her head so she decided to go to the one place that made her feel at ease, the museum. As she started to walk down Fifth Street she got this feeling that something wasn't right. But instead of finding out what it was she continued down the street. All of a sudden she heard footsteps behind her; she then walked faster; hoping to get away from whoever was following her. After a few minutes she didn't hear the footsteps anymore so she decided to calm down. Then she walked past an alley, which is the only way to get to her house, when two men wearing black ski masks over their faces jumped her.
Marah fell to the ground, her designs flew everywhere. One of the men pinned her to the ground while the other one began to rape her. The one man slapped her in the face causing Marah to cringe every time she felt a blow to her face. She tried to fight them off but they were too strong. She knew she couldn't scream because there was no one around to hear her. They continued to beat her up badly; not wanting to stop.
But after about 15 minutes the men were going to continue, when all of a sudden they saw a shadow come out from behind one of the abandoned buildings. Without another thought, they took off and ran leaving Marah beaten on the ground.
"Who's there?" Marah pleaded with the shadow.
The shadow came closer but Marah was not able to make out its features. As it came towards her, Marah suddenly blacked out. Everything became a blur. The unknown Good Samaritan immediately called 911. The dispatcher said an ambulance would be there in 10 minutes. In the meantime, he knelt down to her and gave her CPR.
"Come on wake-up. Don't give up now. Come on. You have so much to live for." The strange man kept repeating to her as she lies lifeless on the ground.
About 10 minutes later, the ambulance finally showed up and rushed Marah to Cedars where Rick Bauer was on-duty that night. He immediately told one of the nurses to call Reva and Josh. The "guardian angel" who gave Marah CPR vanished from the scene right as the ambulance pulled up and carefully carried Marah onto the stretcher.
"Oh my god, its Marah Lewis." Rick couldn't believe that his first patient of the night would be his friend's daughter. But he put his emotions aside and helped the EMT's wheel Marah into the emergency room. "Who called 911?" Rick asked one the EMT's.
"We're not sure. There was no one at the scene when we got there." Rick looked confused. He couldn't figure out who called for the ambulance.
Marah was still unconscious at this point, but she had a pulse. After hearing all of the commotion, Rick's dad, Ed Bauer entered the emergency room.
"Son, what happened? What's all the commotion about?" Ed asked Rick while putting his white coat on.
"It's Marah Lewis, dad. She's been attacked and possibly raped." Rick took his stethoscope from around his neck to check Marah's breathing. Ed began to help his son.
After about five minutes, Reva and Josh arrived at the hospital. Distraught and upset, Reva ran to find Rick.
"What happened to my daughter? Where is she? When can I see her?" Reva grabbed Rick's arms and demanded answers.
"She's in the emergency room right now. The nurses are still working on her. Rick assured the Lewis's.
"Is she awake? Can we see her?" Josh asked in his concerned father voice.
"I'm sorry but Marah is unconscious. She's been beaten up pretty badly and she may have been raped. It'll be touch and go for now. The nurses are doing a rape kit now." Rick tried to stay calm as he did one of the hardest parts of being a doctor. It is these moments when Dr. Bauer begins to hate his job.
