Chapter 2:Courage

10:00AM

Amy's POV

The blinding sunrays shining through the window woke me up I blinked a few times before I could see anything. The bed was empty except for a note laid neatly on the bed I picked it up and opened it It was from Horatio:

Good Morning Sweetheart,

I didn't want to wake you, you looked so peaceful. We have a possible lead on Jason. Don't worry he won't hurt you again. I will see you tonight I have a surprise for you.

I love you,

Horatio.

I tucked the note away neatly I wonder what he has in store for me many thoughts ran through my head as I got up to use the shower I noticed a photo on the nightstand it was from when I graduated from the University Of Northern Florida I was wearing a modest blue dress with matching heels My hair was up in a lobster braid I was wearing very little makeup. I also was wearing the very pendant he gave me. Horatio was wearing a suit and tie with dress shoes. I was a foot shorter than Horatio who had his arms around me. I had my hand on the his forearm. He was looking down on me with a proud look on his face and I was smiling at him.

Flashback

"It is with great pleasure that I introduce this years Valedictorian Amy Isabella Martin",The announcer said in a booming voice. A huge roar of applause echoed through the stadium as Amy walked on the stage with her speech in hand.

"Wow I had no idea I would be here",Amy said with a giggle which made the crowd laugh.

"My fellow graduates we made it it feels wonderful huh? Now it's time for us to enter the real world I know some of you are neverous don't be with strength and courage you will do just fine. Growing up I had to learn the meaning for courage and strength the hard way, I was abused by my father my mother left when I was very young the abuse went on for many years until the age of 14 I had enough and decided to turn him into the police. When I walked in the station I was covered in bruises and many scars I was greeted by a very kind man his name is Lt Horatio Caine he never gave up on me he's been like a father figure to me since my father was put in jail. After my father's sentencing trail Horatio pulled me into a warm hug and whispered words that I needed to hear "Strength comes from facing your darkest hour Courage is gained when you chose not to surrender" I remember crying after that day. Now my fellow graduates you finished this chapter of your life a new one is opened before you Now this is the time to reach for your dreams and hopes. All of us are very young with a bright future the choices we made from here on out will effect the rest of your life take on life with strength and courage. Thank you.",Amy said with a tearful smile as she walked off the stage and walked up to where Horatio was sitting and hugged him tightly. The crowd went crazy Horatio hugged her back tightly he had tears in his eyes.

"I love you",Amy whispered softly she felt him kiss her on the temple and tighten his embrace.

"I love you too sweetheart I love you too",Horatio whispered in her ear as he buried his face in her shoulder.

-Enf Of Flashback-

I smiled softly as the memory came into mind that was the first time I ever spoke out about my father's abuse. I set the picture down in its original place and head for the shower. When I walked in the bathroom and turned on the light what I saw in the mirror horrified me. My face was covered in bruises and scars from my father's abuse. Two handprints can be seen around my neck as a result of Jason choking me on my shoulders whipmarks can be seen as a result of my father's abuse.

I lifted my shirt up and the color in my face drained on my stomach new scars from the stab wounds are present on top of the old scars. What used to be my left arm is red and purple and swollen. More scars are present on my back and legs.

"Damn how the hell did I survive all of this?",I thought to myself as I turned the water on in the shower and took all my clothes off and stepped in the shower. The warmth of the water numbed the lingering pain I closed my eyes and allowed the water to wash away the sorrow and heartache.

"You're nothing but an ugly whore",The voice taunted.

"Nice try you're not going to win",I replied with confidence.

"You will break eventually my dear",The voice stickered.

"Nice try Jason you will not break me",I replied.

As I was cleaning my stump from where my left arm used to be another memory came into my mind it was the very first time I met Horatio I was so scared even though I was 13 years old it was when my father raped me for the 17th time that was when I had enough after he was finished I ran.

Flashback:

13 year old Amy Martin was afraid without a doubt that her father would one day kill her. Amy did not look back she kept running until she found help. Amy breathed a sigh of realif as the Miami Dade Police Department came into her view she wasted no time and ran towards it. Once Amy came close to the department she opened the door and walked in the building even though she is scared for her life. Amy shyly looked around for someone to help her ignoring the pain in her stomach and the amount of blood pouring from her shoulder from a gunshot wound. A man with red hair and kind blue eyes came over to her side at this point Amy colapsed in his arms.

"Someone call the PARAMEDICS!",The man yelled as he tended to Amys gunshot wound. An officer standing by called in an ambualance.

"Hang on sweetheart hang on",The man whispered softly.

"Daddy hurt me",Amy whimpered.

"What happened sweetheart?",The man asked tenderly

"He told me I was a slut he was drinking as a result he slapped me and I fell on the bed he took my pants off along with his and he... raped me when I ran out the door after he was done he shot me in the shoulder. Please help me I don't want to die.",Amy sobbed while trying to stay alive.

"I won't let you die sweetheart what is your name?",The main asked softly. His blue eyes had kindness in them something Amy has never seen before.

"Amy Isabella Martin I'm... 13 I'm tired",Amy replied

"Amy sweetheart hang on stay with me now. My name is Horatio",Horatio said softly. The rest was a blur since Amy passed out.

-End Of Flashback-

That was the first time I have ever seen kind eyes in my life all I knew was hate and anger. I finished up with my shower and turned the water off I stepped out and dried off the best I could having one arm makes it difficult. I was smart enough to set out my outfit the night before in the bathroom. After a few minutes of struggling to get dressed I finally got fully dressed and brushed my hair out. I grabbed my dirty clothes and threw them in the hamper and walked out of the bathroom.

Before I could make any breakfast there was a knock at the door I grabbed the nearest thing to use as a defense weapon and slowly walked up to the door. I looked around through the window and saw nothing but an envelope with my name on it in Red pen. I slowly opened the door and grabbed the envelope then I locked the door again. After I set my defensive weapon down I walked to the bar pulled up a stool and slowly opened the envelope a note fell out I opened the note the color in my face drained:

"You are nothing but a whore no man will love you the world would be better if you kill yourself. No man will go for a girl with one arm. You little bitch go kill youself."

I knew it was Jason it was his handwriting I wasted no time I ran into the bedroom and called Horatio. A few rings later he answered the phone.

Phone Conversation:

Horatio: Lt Caine.

Amy: (Sobbing) Horatio I'm sorry to be bothering you at work...

Horatio: Amy? sweetheart what happened? talk to me honey.

Amy: I got a note from Jason someone left it by the front door. The note says that I should kill myself (Sobbing)

Horatio: Sweetheart he can't hurt you anymore not while I am around you know that I would lay my life down for you.

Amy: (Whimpers) I know it's hard trying to be strong when I feel so damn weak pardon my french.

Horatio: Sweetheart do you remember what I told you after your father's sentencing?

Amy: Strength comes from facing your darkest hour Courage is gained when you chose not to surrender

Horatio: That's right please sweetheart do not let Jason get inside your head what he did to you was not your fault. I know you will overcome this You are a strong,couragous and beautiful woman who refuses to see the dark side of people you only see the very best in people. I love you.

Amy: I love you to Horatio.

Horatio: Sweetheart may I ask you something?

Amy: Sure

Horatio: When Jason attacked you did he say anything?

Amy: Umm. He called me a whore and I ruined his life for dumping him and If it was legal he would kill me and feed me to the crocidiles. He has several friends who work for him I can give you the names.

Horatio: That would be great sweetheart.

Amy: Jasons 2nd in command is Gary Sanchez his number 2 men are Dave Santoro and Aaron Smith. The hitmem are Jake Harris and Jermaine Harris along with Marco Sanchez and Mark Monroe. They mainly hang out at Bamboo Miami on 550 Washington Ave. There is a room in the back where they discuss business its guarded by someone named Dickie.

Horatio: Thank you sweetheart We will catch him I promise.

Amy: Thank you Horatio and I'm sorry if I'm a bother.

Horatio: You are not a bother to me sweetheart. I love you.

Amy: Love you too.

-End Of Phone Conversation-

To say that I'm afraid is an understatement I'm horrified but I'm happy to have Horatio around so it lightens the load a bit. I went in the kitchen and made breakfast for myself and sat down at the table. I'm not letting my guard down.
