For The Love Of A Child

Chapter Three- Justice Is Served

"Both of their cars are in the garage. I'm calling the cops something must be wrong. Jonas told Lana and Kayla as he took out his cell phone.

"South Philly PD!" A lady answered the phone.

"Yes…yes you can. I need to talk to Sergeant Williams STAT!" Jonas said in a rush.

"Hello this is the Sergeant, how may I help you?"

"Hello Sergeant this is Jonas Ray. My wife Luisa and her friend Dana has gone missing. I need you to report to RWHC STAT!" Jonas said hanging up the phone.

"Don't worry baby boy we'll find them! No matter what we'll find them!" Lana said confidently to Jonas.

"We have to find them, we just have to!" Jonas said tears were streaming down his face.

Meanwhile only twenty miles away Lu was struggling against Rand's strength.

"Let go of me! Rand please let go of me! STOP!" Lu cried as she wiggled and tried to get away. She used her fingernails to scratch his face in a despite attempt.

"Oh No! Your not going anywhere BITCH! You cost me my job six years ago and now I'm going to make you pay all over again.!.!.!" Rand said as he more forcefully pushed himself inside of her and against her.

This continued for three endless hours until he finally let go. He pulled himself apart form Lu, and laying her motionless on the bed sobbing, hurting, and bleeding, got himself dressed.

"Get up! Get dressed NOW!" Rand said as he pulled Lu up off the bed and threw her towards her pile of clothes.

Lu winced against the pain and pulled on her pink lace panties and bra then she pulled on her MUDD jeans and a white MUDD mussel shirt.

Rand pulled her by her hair and dragged her down to the cellar where she threw her down the stairs and into Dana's grip.

"OMG Lu! Baby your bleeding, what did that BASTARD do to you?"

"He…Dana he raped me again…." Lu said through labored breaths.

"Lu we have to get out of here. There's a small window. If you could help me to get it open I could go and get help."

"Dana please don't leave me!" Lu said as she sobbed.

"Lu I have to if we ever want to get out of here alive. Can you stay down here by yourself just until I get back?" Dana knew though as she looked at her partner whom could barley even sit up, that it would be hard to leave her behind.

"(Dana looked at Lu pleadingly) I heard Rand talking he has an appointment in an hour I could get out of here and get help and be back before he even gets home."

"Dana I'm scared what if he comes back?"

"That's why I need to get you some help."

"Ok Dana…" Lu said reserving, she was shaking all over and she couldn't seem to control the tears that were falling down her cheeks. "Can't I go with you?"

"Honey your too weak. You can barley even sit up. I promise I'll be right back." Dana handed Lu her white Dr's Jacket and Lu wrapped it around her. "I promise. I will be back. Lu hugged Dana and then Dana hosted herself up and broke out the window. She then pulled herself through and landed with a thud onto the soft grass.

"Hurry Dana!" Lu cried weakly before she blacked out.

Dana ran away form the house for about fifteen minutes and once she was in town she headed straight for the hospital.

Dana walked into RWHC through the free clinic doors and ran to find Lana.

"Lana we have to call the police!" Dana exclaimed as she looked at the receptionist.

"Dr. Stow what happened you look horrible!"

" Just do as I say! Lu's been kidnapped. Rand has her in the basement of his house. We have to save her. He had me there too but I got out so I could go and get help."

"OMG is she Ok?" Lana asked after she got off the phone with the cops.

"She's alive if that's what you mean."

"What should I tell Jonas he's here."

"Tell him that we have to go get Lu. That she's still alive and her injury's are severe but not live threatening. Tell him that I promise that I'll take good care of her."

Twenty minutes later the police were there and they picked up Dana and were speeding towards the place where Rand was holding Lu captive.

"What is her condition?" The officer asked Dana.

"He raped her and her face looked like he might of hit her."

"Is her injury's life threatening?"

"Not that I know of. She was alert when I left her. There's no way of knowing what he's doing to her now though. We have to hurry take this road its quicker."

The officer and Dana took the faster road and within twenty minutes they were speeding into the driveway of Rand Kindler.

"She's in the basement." Dana said after ten minutes of knocking on the door.

The officer broke down the door but instead of finding Lu in the basement he followed the sound of her screaming for help into the bedroom. Where he saw Rand performing crude sex acts on Lu and Lu scratching and hitting and kicking him to try and get him off of her.

"HELP ME!" Lu cried when she saw Dana and the officer.

The officer and Dana rushed over and while the officer was pulling Rand off of Lu, Dana was helping Lu to pull herself together.

"Are you ok sweetie?" Dana asked as she looked at her partners beaten face.

"Yeah Dana I'm fine….just peachy." Lu said with sarcasm in her voice.

IN THE AMBULANCE!

"Lu I'm so sorry. I swear I thought he wasn't going to be here."

"Its fine really Dana." Lu said in a bare whisper.

"Lu please it's all my fault and I swear if you don't want to ever talk to me again or if you don't want to ever work with me again I could transfer to county. Really I would understand." Dana said. Angry tears were falling down her face.

"Dana please stay. Stay with me please." Lu begged before she drew her legs up under her chin and refused to speak again until they reached the hospital.

Dana rushed Lu into the ER and after performing a rape-kit on her and after she talked to a rape counselor and a prosecutor she helped Lu into a room of her own.

"Here hun take this it will help you sleep." Dana said offering Lu two pills and a can of sprite. She hooked up Lu to a IV full of blood to replace the blood she lost and a normal saline solution to stabilize her vital signs.

"NO Dana! I'm not going to take anything I want to talk to Jonas." The swelling in Lu's face was beginning to go down and she was starting to talk more.

"He's downstairs I'll go and get him."

Dana walked down the stairs and to Lana's desk where he found Lana talking to Jonas about his wife's condition. Once she was through talking to Jonas she went to her office and sat at her desk. With her face in her hands she sat there and cried.

"LU! OMG baby girl what happened to you?" Jonas yelled as he ran into Lu's hospital room and hugged his wife.

"Jonas!" Lu screamed as Jonas ran to embrace her.

"What happened to you baby?" He asked as he held her gently in his arms and gently stroked her cheek.

"Jonas I can't talk about it."

"Don't make me ask Dana!"

"He…He…He….He….ra….ra….ra….raped me." Lu said and then she busted into a series of fresh silent tears.

"Who? Who did this to you?"

"Rand…Rand Kindler…." Lu said with hatred in her eyes.

The days that followed were the most trying and horrible days that both Lu and Dana had ever had to go through, Cop after Cop interview after interview. It wasn't that long but it seemed like forever because it was happening to them all over again.


Day Number Six Of Lu's Rape Trial

"Dr. Delgado VS. Rand Kindler day six of trial with closing statements." Judge Amy started as she shuffled through a bunch of papers.

"Dr. Lu Delgado has come to the stand for the second time in the last six years. This time is no better than the last. The accused Rand Kindler raped Luisa and although her rapist was not put away the first time he did it I'll be dammed if he gets loose again. We've heard the statement of Lu and of Dr. Dana stow who was also kidnapped, and she is also the one who did the rape kit on Luisa for the second time. I pray that you the jury see that Lu is telling the truth along with the evidence that was submitted that Rand is in fact Guilty. Please put this pervert away before he hurts someone else… That is all….thank you." Lu's attorney said as she approached the jury she was the last person that the jury would hear before they read the verdict.

"Thank you counsel. Has the jury reached a verdict?"

"We have your honor."

"May I see it?" The judge took a minute to look over the piece of paper before she handed it back to the bailiff.

"OK you may read it."

"In the 1st offence of kidnapping we the jury find Rand Kindler GUILTY!"

"In the 2nd office of rape we the jury find Rand Kindler Guilty."

"The Jury has spoke its piece. Rand Kindler I sentence you to ninty nine years to life in prison without the possibility of prole or dismissed."

"Thank you your honor." Lu said as Rand was escorted out of the cort room in cuffs.
