Sky felt as if someone had just slapped him in the face Kathleen had been raped! He didn't want to believe that it was true, but he was confident that she wouldn't lie to him about something like that. When they laid back down he guided her to lay with her head on his shoulder and she was soon asleep again.
Sky took a hard look at her, and began to ask himself some pretty tough questions, most of which had no answers. The biggest of them was had he actually fallen in love with her? He thought seriously about that and came to the shocking conclusion that he had actually fallen in love with her. He used the opportunity of their being alone and as close as they were to place one little kiss on her forehead before he went back to sleep as well. She didn't even notice his kiss at all, which was a relief to him.
The next morning Sky escorted Kathleen to a class, and then decided to take a walk around the grounds, but something still ate at him, what was causing Kathleen's bizarre behavior. She had become a bit confident in herself for a while, but even her trust in him was beginning to wane, and he hated that fact because he loved her dearly.
He soon found a strange, locked door that didn't have a Braille label on it like the others did; it only had a text label that said "Janitor's Closet", but why would there not be a Braille label saying that on the door as well, this made him wonder what was beyond that door.
He put it out of his mind and went to meet Kathleen, but what he saw on her left arm stunned him. She had a large bruise extending from her elbow to her shoulder, and it looked old, like it had existed for a couple of days.
Kathleen didn't know that she had a bruise on her arm; she just knew that her arm was tender and sore.
"Laura, what happened to your arm?" he asked
"What do you mean?"
"You have a huge bruise on your arm"
"Let's go back to our room and I'll tell you everything" she replied
Sky guided his "wife" back to their room and she told him about being taken into an unlabeled room and being beaten up.
He couldn't get the place shut down until he saw what was in that room, but in the meantime he had to comfort Kathleen.
He hugged her close as she cried and internally he tried to decide the best way to tell her that he had fallen in love with her.
She slipped away from him a bit then he made his move and clamed her lips in a gentle kiss which she returned. The Kiss broke with both pleasantly surprised that it had gone as it did.
"I love you, Kathleen" he said as he hugged her near again
"I love you too" she replied and hugged him back.
Late that evening Sky had gone to investigate the strange janitor's closet and found it mysteriously unlocked. He went inside and was completely appalled; he had found the evidence he needed to shut that place down and put the organizers into containment for a long time!
There was different pieces of equipment that, he supposed, were used for torturing the women that were injured there… including Kathleen, but she had been too scared to tell him any sooner.
"Hey, who's in there!" someone demanded
