SIN

Chapter 26: To get an answer

(7 p.m. at the Hospital)

Wally lay in bed thinking about his rapist. He had racked his brain but just COULDN'T figure out where he could possibly know the older blonde male teen.

I just don't recognize him! From that dream memory; or whatever, he obviously recognized me. He seemed to have some underlying problem with me and called me squirt. Wanted me 'pay' for something. But I just can't remember what I possibly have done. He made at least one accusation, but I just don't recall myself doing it. I just WISH that I was able to get out of here and find him. Then I would KILL Him. (Wally's thoughts)

"I just don't understand how someone could do this to me," Wally whispered to himself.

Just then the door opened and Cree entered.

"I need to talk to you Wally," Cree said formally.

"Get out of my room," Wally snarled in immediate response.

"It's about what happened to you in the alley," Cree told him.

"What do you know about it?" Wally asked suspiciously.

"What did the perpetrator look like?" Cree asked him.

"Why…?" Wally started to ask, "you know who it is don't you!" he shouted.

"Not unless you tell me," Cree said through gritted teeth.

"Why should I tell you anything?" Wally growled.

"Because she's not the one you should be angry at," a voice said suddenly and a male entered.

"Nigel?" Wally asked in surprise, "what are you doing here?"

"Mainly checking up on you," Nigel said, "so you remember me," he noted.

"Yeah," Wally responded, "friend of yours?" he asked coldly and pointed at Cree.

"No," Nigel said icily, "but it seems that a certain person I know on an unfriendly level has something to do with you being here in this hospital," he added.

"Nigel," Cree hissed testily.

"I'm not here to defend your friend," Nigel said bluntly, "I'm here to help Wally," he continued, "not that blonde oaf Chad."

"Blonde!" Wally screamed, "the guy in my memory attacking me is blonde!" he shouted.

"Shhh!" Nigel ordered.

"I don't want to get caught in here you little idiot," Cree whispered angrily, "people know me here 'cause of my Dad," she told him.

"And they know me namely cause of He…" Nigel started to say, "uh, they just know me," he said quickly, "anyway, what can you tell us about your attacker?" he asked.

Wally gave them a full description of what his rapist looked like. Cree's face became upset, Nigel's face became angry.

"He has to give himself in Cree," Nigel said seriously.

"How do you know Wally wasn't only dreaming!" Cree screamed angrily and was nearly in tears.

"Because Chad dreamed that he was raping him and he knows that it most likely came from a memory flash!" Nigel exploded.

"What!" Wally shrieked, "he's forgotten that he's raped me!"

"Well, sort of," Nigel admitted, "but it's because he was drunk," he explained, "I know him mainly because six months ago I had to bodily part him from fighting a few of my soccer team's fans because his team had lost," he continued, "Chad was drunk then too of course and was also angry that the team he loved lost to us in the final match," he added.

"He has a drinking problem?" Wally asked softly.

"Yes," Cree spoke up, "he does," she admitted.

"So he wasn't sober when he…?" Wally started to ask.

"No," Nigel confirmed.

"I'm still pressing charges," Wally declared.

"Why!" Cree exploded, "it was obviously an accident!" she shouted.

"He knew that he had a fight with Wally that night," Nigel pointed out, "he told me when he called me earlier as well as about his dream," he stated, "and he admitted not being sorry about it."

"See!" Wally shouted, "he's not sorry about raping me at all!" he cried.

"Actually," Nigel said slowly, "he seems REALLY sorry about that," he told Wally.

"What do you mean?" Wally asked suspiciously.

"Chad wouldn't touch you sexually with a hundred foot pole," Cree spat suddenly.

"Cree," Nigel said warningly.

"Chad never meant to rape him," Cree continued, "you know how upset he was Nigel," she pleaded.

"I know only what I heard," Nigel said coldly, "and it seems Chad's a rapist," he said, "no amount of 'I am sorry' can fix that," he said seriously.

"But it's a start!" Cree pressed.

"Start of what!" Wally exploded, "this monster stole my pride and virginity and expect me to let him off 'cause he's SORRY!"

"Look at it from his side!" Cree shouted.

"That monster doesn't have a side!" Wally screamed, "he has no heart!"

"Yes he does!" Cree disputed.

"QUIET!" Nigel shouted over them, "someone's knocking on the door," he announced.

Cree and Nigel hurried off to hide. Wally after gulping deeply spoke.

"Who is it?" Wally asked.

"It's me," Chad said from behind the door, "the one you're after."

Wally's face immediately contorted with anger.

"Come in."
