Chapter 7: Misery

Meanwhile in the skirts of the city, at a small and dirty motel room, a handsome man was checking a small purse, so far he had fund some trinkets like a strawberry lip gloss, a hand mirror, a package of tissues, dental floss and gum but he also found two very important items: a wallet with a high school ID belonging to the girl he thought dead, Rachel Barbara Berry from Lima Ohio, and a cellphone, with several texts from someone named Jesse most of them telling her that she was the real star in New Directions and wishing her good luck. The man started to pace the floor and asked himself what was this girl doing in the city, he needed to know after all he had to tie lose ends, and as far as he knew the girl was now under the protective gaze of non other than the Detective Danny Reagan.

This very Detective had given him a hard time and had been close to catch him, so close in fact that he needed to retaliate it only seem fair to the assassin to kill detective Reagan's wife, oh man did he have fun with the blond woman, she was a fighter and he liked it when the prey put on a fight, in fact he liked it so much than he taped it and send it to the detective so he could enjoy it too. The assassin decided that given the chance he would have the same fun with little miss Rachel Berry and he would tape it and send it to the cop too, messing with Detective Reagan was very easy and fun to pass on.

The assassin decided to wait until miss Berry was back home, it would be easier to capture her in a small town but he also needed to make sure miss Berry would in fact not seen anything, he had to do some research, to find out everything he could about her but as usual he would let the police do the boring job he just had to blend in and maybe bribe someone, but going to the precinct would have to wait till morning.

The fact that they now knew where Rachel's purse was did nothing to quench Danny's desire of finding her guardian on the contrary he needed to find the now infamous William Schuster, and he needed to find him fast, so he sent a police officer to the hotel to wake up Rachel's teammates and bring them to the precinct, get mister Schuster cellphone number and get him to the precinct as soon as possible, while he was busy making arrangements Rachel was freaking out, the mob man had her purse, he knew how she looked like, he knew where she lived, he had her cellphone, he could very easily found her and kill her, she didn't feel save even here surrounded by cops, the only thing keeping her from a full blown meltdown was Detective Reagan, and the fact that he promise her to keep her save, so for now she tried to calming herself down.

When they realized where her purse was Danny felt a new determination, a determination to catch and kill the assassin otherwise Rachel would have to spend the rest of her life watching over her shoulders, looking out for danger and fearing everything and he felt it was his responsibility to keep that from happening or else he could not live with himself, hell he couldn't live with himself if the poker deck assassin lived long enough to terrified her, he reassured Rachel holding her and promising over and over again that she was save, right here, right now, he didn't add on his arms because that may scared her, she was almost calmed when a sudden thought enter her mind, what would her fellow glee-clubbers think of this? Probably that she was seeking attention again, Santana and Quinn would make fun of her and Finn would blame her for storming out on their date and the rest of the club would blame her for them been awoken in the middle of the night.

Rachel did not feel like she could face them, not after this night, not after her defenses where this low, she tried really hard to built some sort of shield against their constant harassing like she always did before entering the glee club classroom but found it way to hard to do so and she started to cry a little, Danny noticed something different about her and lean his head to see her directly to her face, she was shedding some tears but she wasn't sobbing like when he first fund her, this tears were silent and it seem like it was just sad tears, her face was scrunched up and she was biting her lips, Danny asked concerned "-What's wrong?-" she kept shaking her head and moving her lips Danny but could not hear all of what she said just one world "-Thirsty-"

Danny left the office and a very reluctant Rachel and went for a bottle of water, he came back and found her in a complete state of despair, now fully sobbing and hiccupping, he gave her the bottle of water and stared at her while she downed the whole bottle, when she finish it he said "-So what's wrong?-" Rachel kept her frown and shake her head again and without staring at him she answer "-I can't face them, please don't make me do it, anything else I'll do it just don't make me face them-" Danny was confused as to whom she didn't wanna face "-Who don't you wanna face?-" she said in a whisper "-The glee club-" Danny snorted "-Really? You get like this over facing your glee club and you were calmed down when you were telling me the whole I lay in a pool of someone else's blood story?-" she shrugged and said "-I don't face the mob man everyday and I don't know him, but this guys I know and they're gonna be so mean, and today I just don't have the strength to deal with it, I know it's lonely at the top but today, just for today I will like some support and appreciation of me not being killed but NO that's gonna be too much to ask from them and I can't let them see me weak or else they'll take advantage of it-" she pull her legs up and hold her knees, staring at some point in the wall.

Danny stood there silent for a long time, he opened his mouth to speak but was at a loss for words, he could not understand how she was friends with this people, was she friends with this "club"? He assumed so, otherwise why would you join a club, right? Rachel look at him and found his facial expression really funny, it look like he was doing really complicated math, she knew why he was confused so she said "-I am a really difficult person to deal with but only because I know what I want do and where I want to go, I thought that being part of something special made you special and that the guys in glee were my friends but they only want me for my talent, because I will be on Broadway and I will win a Grammy but they don't respect me and I had to learn how to deal with it but not tonight, tonight I can't, my brain is too tired to do so-" she paused then added "-Look I realized a while ago that glee club its just a means to and end, but I can't let them see me defeated or I will lose the little niche I have carved with my bare hands in that club -" she hold her knees and stare at the wall again.

Danny could not believe this, she was strong enough to lay on a pool of someone else's blood, face a serial killer, not that she knew he was one, and spent the night on a precinct in a town she barely knew and was a little shaken but come face her friends or more like school mates and she was broken down, then it hit him she was being bullied, for how long and how much Danny could only guess but it was undeniable just by looking at her, if he could he would avoid making her have contact with those kids, yes she was a little difficult to deal with but that was true of most people with a clear goal in life, nothing was going to get in the way, wasn't he a little like that? When he made his mind about a case or a suspect he didn't let go until he was proven right, that was why he had have eight partners in the past three years, suddenly he knew what to say to her "-You know, when you have a clear goal in mind people tend to get jealous and try to throw you of your game-" he sat on his wooden chair again while Rachel looked at him, smile a little and nodded, just then they heard a knock on the door.
