Rape kit chapter 4 (part 2)
Lu is extremely upset about what she had to go through in court.
She continues to keep working at the clinic while spending a lot of alone
time with Marc and talk with Lana and Mariska (her counselor). In the
midst of all this Lu calls one of her old friends Ruth to come up and stay
with her and Marc for a while. Lu does not want to be alone right now with
no one else at her appartment besides Marc. When Lu reads over her own
rape kit report (by accident) how will she feel about it? After Dana discovers
this how responsible will Dana feel about it?
--Lu was sitting in Dana's office waiting to ask her a question when she saw her file.
She picked it up and there was her rape kit record. Instead of leaving it alone Lu opened
the file and looked through it reading the notes. This is very upsetting for her and when
she finally stops Dana comes into her office to find Lu beside herself and clearly upset.--
"Lu are you feeling alright?"
"I am just having a bad morning Dana."
"Okay."
(Lana pokes her head in)
"Lu the paramedics are on the phone he is coming in the ER one of the school buses had an accident."
"Dana?"
"Go I have things under control here."
"I guess I could go spend sometime with Marc."
"Go on get out."
"See you later."
"Later."
"Bye Lana."
"Dana Brandee is in Lu's exam room."
"Thanks."
"What's going on Brandee?"
"When I was visiting my friend Jada I cut my hand on a broken pipe. We were helping her husband Marty fix the duck work under the house for the furnish."
"Would you happen to remember when your last tetnis shot was?"
"I don't."
"Let's get you a tetnis shot then and I'll put you on some antibiotics just to be safe."
"Thanks doctor Stowe."
"Brandee please call me Dana."
"I'll call Lana to set up my next appointment with Lu I want to see the baby again."
"Lu tell you what you're having yet?"
"No, not yet hopefully soon."
--At Lu's place--
"Mom your home super early today."
"Things were a little slow today so Lana and Dana sent me home."
"Mom we both know that you didn't sleep hardly at all last night."
"I just need to talk to Corina and Mariska I'm okay Marc."
"Can I go to the movies tonight with my boys?"
"Who just Chris, Andre, David, and Trey?"
"Yeah would it be alright for me to stay with Chris tonight after or do you want me here?"
"It's alright with me if you stay."
"Thanks"
(Lu calls Corina and makes plans to go talk over coffee)
--Starbucks--
"Hi Lu!"
"So how are things going today?"
"Hm... so so. What about with you Lu?"
"Things were alright, then I saw him."
"And..."
"And he tried to tell me that it was a misunderstanding he couldn't believe we went to court over it."
"Oh I love it when rape is called a misunderstanding."
"I have even thought about leaving the RWHC."
"Thanks."
"Thank you."
"I hope this caramel frappiccuno brings my spirits up."
"Lu you not going to leave your patients are you, Lana, Dana, Rittenhouse?"
"No."
"I heard from Callie."
"Callie... how is she?"
"Callie's ex came back."
"Please tell me she didn't go back to him?"
"No she's admitted at County, walked in the ER at three oclock this morning."
"How is she?"
"Not good Lu. He raped her at gun point and put her in the ICU."
"Oh my God."
"She begged the paramedics to take her to Rittenhouse."
"County's closer."
"That's what they told her."
"How are you after seeing him?"
"Well I have been writing in my journal a lot these last few nights a lot, I mean pages."
"You know you can call me anytime you need me Lu."
"Yes I know."
"I need another frappiccuno how about you?"
"This time I want a vanilla one."
"I should go see Callie soon."
"Later this afternoon Lu we can go together."
"I gave her a journal from the crisis center and she is already on her second one."
"I'm on my fourth one, I started it thirteen days ago."
"Keep writing Lu."
"Did I ever tell you my story since we met?"
"No."
"I didn't?"
"Well when I was a toddler I was molested by my father."
"Did you ever tell anyone?"
"No."
"You seem to be doing alright."
"I was in counseling for many years."
