Part 3
Hunter smiled as he walked into STAR Labs. He had spent the night before coming up with his new plan to get Caitlin to not only go out with him, but into his bed. He was not going to be denied what he wanted from the cold bitch. His father had taught him that as a man he was in control, that women needed to be taught they had to do what the man wants. He would have Caitlin no matter what.
"Mr. Zolomon my office now." Said Dr. Wells
"Of course Dr. Wells."
Hunter followed Dr. Wells into his office.
"Take a seat Mr. Zolomon."
Hunter sat down and looked at his boss.
"What can I do for you Dr. Wells?" asked Hunter
"I have had a number of reports that you have been harassing Dr. Snow."
"I have no idea what you mean."
"Don't play dumb. Have you or have you not asked Dr. Snow out on a date repeatedly?"
"Yeah. What's the big deal? As far as I know coworkers are able to date."
"There is no rule against it. But I also have it on good authority that Dr. Snow has turned you down each time."
"She has told me she had other plans."
"Oh I have a list of some of the reasons she turned you down with. Everything but she is washing her hair. Mr. Zolomon it seems to me she has no interest in a relationship with you. This is your first and last warning. If you do not respect the fact that Dr. Snow doesn't want to date you I will have no choice but to terminate you. I will also inform any potential new employers that the reason you were terminated was for sexual harassment of another employee."
"You can't do that! That would blackball me from every lab in the country!"
"Then I suggest you stay away from Dr. Snow."
"Right. May I go and get to work?"
"Go."
Hunter left in anger. Harrison sighed. He had a feeling that he was going to be trouble.
Caitlin grabbed a salad and bottle of water from the cafeteria and went to sit in the corner while reading a paper that was published by her mother. While they may not get along but Caitlin did want to keep up with her mother's research.
"How dare you tell Dr. Wells that I have been harassing you?!"
Caitlin looked up to see Hunter standing over her. Her heart started to race. The look in his cold blue eyes scared her.
"Hunter, the fact is you have been harassing me. I don't want to date you."
"Caitlin all I want is one date. Let me show you how I treat women."
"The answer is no. I will never go out with you."
Hunter grabbed Caitlin's arm pulling her to her feet and shoved her to the wall.
"Listen you cold bitch, no little girl tells me no."
"Mr. Zolomon get your hands off of Dr. Snow. You are to clean your things out. You are fired. Ms. Danvers why don't you take Dr. Snow to get herself together while I have security escort Mr. Zolomon out." Said Dr. Wells
"Of course Dr. Wells. Come on Caitlin." Said Alex
"Dr. Snow once you have yourself together please come by my office. I need to fill out an official report with your statement." Said Dr. Wells
Caitlin nodded and walked off with Alex. Dr. Wells nodded at Cisco and Hartley letting them know they could come to his office to give their statements.
Alex led Caitlin into the bathroom where she looked at her friend's arm that had a hand shape bruise beginning to form. Caitlin splashed water on her face still shaking from the encounter with Hunter.
"Caitlin, are you going to be ok?" asked Alex
"I don't know."
"Maybe you should think about talking to Detective West or Thawne about a restraining order. You know that Cisco, and I will give statements to help you. Hell even that ass Hartley would. Besides there are a lot of people here that like you a whole lot more than him."
"Alex, I will think about it."
"Caitlin, guys like him need to learn they can't get away with hurting women."
"This is not the first time I have dealt with a controlling jerk. That is the whole reason I broke up with Jackson. He wanted to control our relationship. I wasn't going let anyone else ever do that again. I could tell from the moment I met him Hunter was the controlling type."
"You ready to go see Dr. Wells?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine on my own."
"Ok."
Alex watched as Caitlin left the bathroom then pulled out her phone and sent a text to her sister Kara.
Girls night at Caitlin's. She needs some friends tonight. See if Iris can make it.
Kara texted back.
We will be there and bring wine and pizza.
Alex told Kara the time and then headed back to her lab. Alex had just gotten back to the lab she shared with Caitlin when she watched as John Diggle and another security guard escort Hunter past with a box of stuff. The now ex employee sent a cold glare her way. Diggle gave him a shove to keep him moving.
Caitlin sat across from Dr. Wells in his office. He had his assistant bring her a cup of tea.
"Dr. Snow, are you ok?" asked Dr. Wells
"I will be."
"Now I just need you to fill out an official complaint for Mr. Zolomon's official file. That way he can't sue for wrongful dismissal."
"Yeah sure."
"Mr. Ramon and Mr. Rathaway along with a few others have filled out statements that they witnessed him harassing you."
"Dr. Wells, I am thinking of getting a restraining order. Would you be able to give the police a copy of those statements?"
"Of course. Though I wish you had come to me sooner."
"He wasn't the first guy that didn't want to take no for answer I have dealt with."
"But the fact is I run a harassment free workplace. So if this happens again let me know."
"I promise."
"Good. Now when you are done take the rest of the day off, and tomorrow as well. I believe that you are going to the fundraiser tomorrow night with your CSI friend Mr. Allen. Go get your nails and hair done for the night."
"Yes sir."
Caitlin went to get her things and then drove straight to CCPD with copies of her coworkers statements in hopes of getting a restraining order against Hunter.
