Chapter 8: Information
"Tanner if Keely doesn't wake up, or if you killed my child... I swear I'll kill you." he muttered to himself.
After an hour or so one of the nurses came out to get Phil. He asked her tons of questions but she simply said that the doctor would explain everything a little later. 'Great, more waiting...' he thought as the turned down yet another hallway and stopped at an open door. "The police want to talk to you and to her when she wakes up." the nurse said and left him alone with her.
"Oh, that's reassuring, what if I'd been Tanner..." he mumbled, so mad at himself for not getting to her sooner that he took it out on other peolple. "Keely, I'm here now, and I'm never leaving you, ever again" he cried, taking her hand. He looked her over, taking in the damage Tanner had done. She had a black eye over her left eye. Both of her wrists had handshaped bruises on them, and thats just what he could see, he was almost scared to see what lie behind the sheet and hospital gown.
A moment later the doctor came in, she announced herself as Dr. Jamie Thompson, a specialist in cases like Keely's. "Could you explainher injuries to me, please?" he asked, never taking her eyes off of Keely.
"Rape is any form of sexual activity that a person doesn't agree to, ranging from touching to penetration. Rape is a crime even if you already know the person who attacked you - the person in this case was a friend. It's a crime even if she didn't fight back since she was unconscious. The best thing to do when someone is raped is to get them to the hospital as fast as you can. Once at the hospital the doctors will perform a rape kit, which is where they collect evidence that the attcker may have left behind, clothing fibers, saliva, hairs or even semen. They'd use all of that in court, normally we'd test for pregnancy, or give the morning after pill, but..." she started to explain, Phil nodded, knwing what she meant.
"Is the baby okay?" he asked.
"We'll know soon enough. It takes time to tell if the fetus is okay. As for her other injries, she has several broken ribs, Her left carsus (wrist) is broken, she has quite a few bruises, and she'll be really sore when she wakes up. She probably won't want to walk for a few days. You're the only one she's responded to so far," she said, gesturing to the hand that reused to release his. "If you're there for her, she might take everything better. Help her keep her mind off of it. When she wakes up, let her cry and remind her that none of this is her fault, or yours, before you start blaming yourself. Rape is a crime and she should and by the look in your eyes, will press charges against this guy. Now, i've got to finish my rounds, you can stay with her, and I'll be back later." she finished, and quickly left the room.
I know a lot about biology, I want to be a CSI after I finish school, I know most of the human bones, sorry if this is confusing anyone, I'll post more really soon. Keep reviewing...
