Author's Note: Sorry this took so, very, very, very long. I appreciate everyone's patience, but school has been very crazy this year. I tried to work on it, but there was no time, so I am sorry. I hope you like this new chapter. Also another note I will be describing the rape in this chapter so if you do not want to hear about it, I understand just skip that section, I promise it won't go into details, just a description.

Chapter 4: Questions

Of all the things in the world Jackie could say that was not something he though he would ever her. I was raped kept repeating in his head.

"Are you okay Charlie?" Jackie grabbed his hand and turned him around.

She had put Jay back in bed. He could sleep though just about anything. Jackie wasn't sure if that was a good thing for her son or not.

Charlie sat on the bed. "Who would do such a horrible thing? I do not understand how someone could be so cruel. You would think that working for the FBI would prepare someone for news like this, but…"

"Shhhh. Its okay Charlie." Jackie interrupted by placing a hand over his mouth. She slowly removed it and continued, "You always want to believe that people are good, but some just aren't. The man who raped me was a good man. At least that's what I thought. Remember that coworker I told you about; well he raped me."

Charlie just looked at her and whispered, "What happened?"

Jackie grabbed Charlie's hand and took him to a room across that hall. There she closed the door and took him to the bed, "I used to go to my dad's office when his secretary was out of town. That particular night my car was in the shop so I had to stay until my dad got off. He had to work late so he asked George to take me home. We got into his car and began to drive. He stopped the car in the park and I was a little nervous. Yes, I liked him, but I didn't want to do anything. He looked at me and I reached for the handle. He grabbed my hands and whispered I know you want this. He let me go and unzipped his pants. I threw my bag at him, opened the car door, and ran."

Jackie watched the color drain from Charlie's face, but she knew she had to continue because if he could accept this then he really is the right one for her. She knew she would have had to tell him eventually.

"He caught me and threw me to the ground. He got on top and said I've seen the way you flirted with me and smiled at me. I know you want this. I kept telling him to get off, get off, but he was so big and heavy. I could barely breathe. I yelled for help, but no one came. He let me go, I started to hit him, and he never flinched. He removed his coat and unzipped mine. The he ripped my shirt and began to kiss me everywhere. He kept saying I know this is what you want. I tried to struggle, but it didn't work. Eventually he worked his way down to my pants and unzipped them. The he ripped the only remaining barrier. I kept screaming for help. When he was finished, he got off, threw money at me, and told me to take a cab. I just sat there for a while."

Charlie could see tears in her eyes. He wiped them away, "Did you ever tell anyone? Sorry for all the questions.'

Jackie smiled at Charlie, "It's okay. I have been to therapy. I'm over it, but the memory is still strong. I took the cab to the police station and filed a complaint. He went to trial. By that time I found out, I was 17 years old and pregnant. That's how I went to prom. I turned 18 in April and he raped me in December. Therefore, either way he was in trouble; whether it is for rape or statutory rape only time would tell. He went to trial and found guilty."

"How did the trial turn out?" Charlie wondered.

"That's not it. During the investigation, they found out, he rented a storage space. When the cops went there they found the whole place covered with pictures of me. All the way back to when I was 12. Apparently, he had been stalking me. He was found guilty. George went to prison for 10 years, with the possibility of parole in six. His parents were actually on my side. He had been charged with sexual assault in high school and once again when he was 25. I went to therapy and decided to keep the baby. I'm not sure what to tell him, but I will think of something."

Charlie wiped more tears from Jackie's eyes. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Without thinking, Charlie leaned closer and kissed her. A knock at the door interrupted them.

Don knew he walked in on something, but he needed Charlie's help, "Charlie I need your help. Apparently, there have been three robberies from Mr. Williams company in the last month. All that was stolen were important computer files. I need you to either find out who is doing this or where they will strike next."

Jackie got up and whispered in Charlie's ear, "I'm sorry, but that kiss can't ever happen again. It was very nice though."

With that said Jackie walked out of the room. Charlie was in a state of shock. When he got home, he saw Amita waiting on the couch, "Jackie told me what happened. Are you okay?"

Amita knew that she should have told Jackie she could have Charlie, but something held her back. She thought that maybe, just maybe she could pick up the pieces of Charlie's heart and actually win it over."

"I won't give up on her. Something is holding her back and I will help her get over it. It's probably what happened to her. She is afraid of getting hurt. I will wait and help her see I won't hurt her." Charlie stated.

Without thinking, Amita kissed Charlie.
