Chapter 3: Secrets Unleashed
The doctor had finished his examination over the girls and was out in the hall talking with the CSI's and Brass, while the girls waited in Brass's office.
"Well, all I can say is that they've done a terrific job at hiding all this. I suggest that you take them to get some x-rays or pull any medical files, see what's happened to them internally. When I examined Jenna, she didn't react as much as I would of thought, her bruises were minimal, but she has a few nasty ones; nothing that won't clear up within a few days or so. Now, I'm not too worried about Jenna, but I am however deeply worried about Jessica. Her condition is extremely different from Jenna's. She has several bruises that are in the middle of healing, while having some pretty bad ones on top of those. She's got some pretty bad scaring around her wrists; I suspect they're from restraints. What ever these monsters did to them, I suspect that they did they're worse to Jessica. Why I couldn't possible tell you, but as for they're diagnosis, well, when I looked over Jessica, Jenna, well, she never took her eyes off me. So I'm thinking that Jenna was abused more mentally than physically. Jessica, well, she's pretty obvious, but what gets me is how she behaves. It's very abnormal for a person in her situation. Normally people with her type of abuse don't want to be touched; she just sat there and was quite the whole time. I'd watch over her carefully, she may turn. Things that are kept inside, buried, will find their way out eventually."
They had all listened quietly. They were now to shocked to say anything. They're mouths all hung open, their eyes bugging out of their sockets.
"Th…that's horrible." Gasped Catherine, she still hadn't found a way for air to get to her lungs.
The doctor nodded. "Indeed it is. I'd watch both of them, carefully, but don't over crowd them, give them they're space. Now the transition won't be easy, from what I see Jenna greatly depends on Jessica. Don't deprive them to see each other, no matter what time day or night, they'll find a way, so the best decision would be to let them see each other. They'll come around to going to you for help or comfort, but right now, let them do things the way they want to. It won't be easy." He told them.
"Alright, thank you Doctor." said Brass as he led him out of P.D.
"I can't believe it." said Catherine as she sunk into one of the chairs.
"I don't want to believe it." said Sara as she did the same, holding her head in her hands.
"Hey, they're safe now. They'll be ok. Nothing more can happen to them." said Warrick as he placed his arms around Catherine.
"Physically, yes, but mentally no." told Sara. Grissom knew where she was coming from, as he sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her.
"What are we going to do?" asked Catherine.
"We take it slow and listen to them. Let them know that everything will be alright and that we're here for them." said Grissom.
"Right. So why don't we start now." said Brass as he opened his office door.
A.N I know it's short. It was originally longer, but the other half is going to be chapter 4. That should be up by the end of today, hopefully. I know it's a little confusing, I'm trying to work things out, get back in the swing of my stories. I never forgot about them, I've just been so busy. Please be patient just a little longer. I'm typing as fast as I can. RxR
