Ch 13-Sadly Mistaken
"Officer Curry!!" Ben yelled as him and Craig burst into the police station.
"What's going on boys?" he asked as he looked up from his paperwork.
"It's Dean. He's going to do it again," Ben told him as he panted for breath.
"Dean who? Do what again?" he asked confused.
"Dean Roberts and he's going to take another girl," Craig explained.
"Take another girl? Why don't you boys sit down and catch your breath and have a little chat with me." Craig and Ben both obediently walked over to the chairs that lined the wall and sat down.
"Now. Why don't you tell me what exactly is going on?"
"Dean Roberts went to The Groove the other night, saw Paige Michaelchuck, took her and raped her and beat her all night long."
"Is there any proof of that accusation?" he asked leaning forward on his elbows.
"Well, of that-no. but we heard him talking about Ashley Kerwin, one of Paige's best-friends."
"We can't do anything about people talking boys. You know that."
"Look, he said he was going to have some fun tonight. When someone asked him who with, he told them one of Spirit's friends that looks like she'll put out."
"Spirit being..."
"Paige. When they first met, she was captain of the Spirit Squad. And Ash has a boyfriend, a fiancé, in fact and would rather die before doing anything like that."
"Look guys, I'm sorry we have no evidence of previous cases and we can't go on a conversation alone," Office Curry rocked back in his chair and fixed the boys with a stare.
"Well it's either you come now, or come later. Because if you don't come now, then you'll get a call later about a fight with Dean's dead body involved," Ben told him as him and Craig got up and walked out.
"Son, are you implying something here? We do not take threats lightly!" he called after them. All he got back in response was the tinkling of door chimes.
"Guys are you sure about this?" Ashley asked Hazel, Lisa and Paige worridly.
"Yes. Ben and Craig went to the police to tell them. If they don't come, then all the guys are going to be outside anyway. Don't worry...nothing'll happen," Lisa reassured her. Ashley just stared at her reflection in the mirror and sighed. Her hair, streaked with red highlights, was just above her shoulders and matched the snug crimson red halter that they had her put on.
"Sean's going to hit the roof," she muttered.
"No he won't. We already told him," Hazel said.
"And he's just ok with all this?!" she exclaimed incredulously.
"Well...yeah. He seemed skeptical at first, but he said ok. Jimmy doesn't want his wife out there like that and Dean knows me. You're the only one left."
"Are you sure you're ok with this?" Paige asked for the first time since they all got together that afternoon. Ashley looked at her best-friends face and smiled as she swallowed hard.
"Yeah, I'm sure." She looked back to the mirror and remembered all those years ago when Dean first did this and Paige just completely fell apart. Right then, she made the decision that Dean wouldn't get away with this. He thinks he can just take Paige anytime he wants and have his way with her? Oh that boy was sadly mistaken. Very sadly mistaken.
