Bobby POV

I could not believe it! This was just the thing I feared when I heard that Stephanie was missing. I could feel the rage in me explode the same time my fist collided with the soft drywall. From the first time I patched her up after a skip had hurt her I had promised myself that I would never allow her to be violated in this way, her ultimate intimacy taken away from her and I had done nothing to stop it. I felt the sickness grow in my stomach, making it very hard to concentrate and to breathe. I forced a deep breath and relaxed my fists, trying my utmost to relax. I glanced around and saw that Lester and Ranger stood by the door looking dumbstruck, their mouths hanging slightly ajar.

"Bobby? Lester asked me and looked at me like he was afraid that I would attack him, holding his hands so that I could see and speaking calmly. I hated the fact that because I had let my control slip my friends were afraid of me and that I had left Stephanie all alone when she had needed me the most. But on the other hand, I was so distraught that I couldn't have helped her properly.

"It's okay guys. I just needed to vent a bit but now I have to get back to Stephanie." I answered him and relaxed my posture. I was a medic, goddamn, I could do this. I turned my back at them and marched back to the bedroom, not caring to explain more to them because they would totally flip out and kill every man in a ten mile radius. Shutting the door behind me I saw that Bomber was sitting on the edge of the bed smiling slightly at me when she saw me.

"Feeling better?" she asked me and held her hand out to me and pulled me beside her. I put my hand around her and pulled her close.

"Not even close but I'm in control now." I said and sighed. I felt her put her head on my shoulder and relax. I rubbed small circled on her arm, partially to calm her but also to calm me. She was alive, that was the main thing. Now I had to focus on fixing her as best as I could.

"You okay?" I asked her after a while. I knew that she would understand my need to know and not give me that "I'm fine" bullshit. I felt her tense up slightly but continued to rub her hand and after a moment she relaxed.

"I'm dealing with it. You know it was hard at first, you know in the house and then in the forest. Running like hell for your life is something I think you know. It's terrifying, not knowing where they are and when are they going to find and hurt you. The thought of you guys kept me from stopping, and the thought of Connie. I couldn't just leave her, as she was in worse condition as me. How is she?"

"She'll live. She had some major bleeding and other internal injuries. A few broken bones but that's it. Do you know is she… when through the same as you? She's not talking about that."

I felt her shake and I knew that she was crying. Crying for her and crying for Connie. She had gone through hell and worried more about her friend than about herself. Connie was staying in the small infirmary on sixth where I have my office as well. She had gone through some major operations and was realized to my care after Ranger had talked to the director in St Francis. I had asked my sister who also was a nurse to help me, and Ranger had hired her on the spot. She was happy to help and was staying up on sixth with Connie as we were talking. I felt confident that she would take care of Connie when I wasn't there.

Even though I hadn't talked to her about Connie, she seemed to know about my feeling towards her. I hadn't talked about my feelings to anybody, not even the core team although I had the feeling that they already knew about them. As I kept running into her when I got the RangeMan files my feelings started to grow for her. She was smart, beautiful and the no-nonsense type of girls I loved. She was warm, kind and still very bad-ass and I loved it! I had asked her out on a date and thankfully she had said yes. The night was one to remember and she was radiant. We talked through the dinner easily and then it turned out we had the same taste in movies as well. I had enjoyed every minute of it and wished that the night never ended. We would have gone on a date yesterday but then this horrible ordeal came between us. I wished that I was up there with her but as she was under heavy medication and probably sleeping now I guess I was more helpful here than there. I loved Stephanie like a sister and she meant the world to me. It angered me that the two women I loved the most had to go through this on their own, without us there to help them.

"She was there longer than I was Bobby. I feel so bad that she had to be dragged into this, she was innocent!" Bombers voice interrupted my thoughts and I could see that she didn't cry anymore but that her voice was rough from the crying.

"Stop it!" I said to her and hugged her. "You was innocent as well, you shouldn't blame yourself for this!"

"But I'm not!" she exclaimed and hopped onto her feet, carefully avoiding her bad leg. "It my fault, I left Joe and he was there when I opened the door and greeted me with that horrible smile of his and then there was these men behind him and I could hear Connie screaming in the living room! One of the guys laughed, it gives me still the chills! Then they grabbed me and took me to the living room and then…"

Her voice showed the deep anxiety in her and she was shaking from silent tears.

"Oh Bomber." I said and stood up and carried her back to the bed and sat her in my lap. "You don't have to tell me now, you are safe here with me and I won't let anybody else touch you if you don't want to. Hell, nobody will see you either if you want that too."

And I meant it too. I would do my upmost to keep her calm and not to cause her anymore traumas than she already had. Even if it meant that I would have to kick Ranger ass I would without a second thought. I would keep my promise and keep her safe from here on forward.

"You're too kind Bobby. I'm not worth all this fuss." she whispered to my chest and I felt my heart contract.

"You are worth everything in this world honey. You brought life back to all of us, you brought the sunshine with you and we all love you for it. You are beyond loved in this building and we all would do anything for you if you only asked us. Hell, even go to dinner with you to your parents!"

I felt her laugh and wrap her arms around me. She lifted her head up to look me in the eyes and I could see that she was feeling better even though I could see that her eyes were haunted with bad memories. I placed a kiss on her nose and smiled.

"I think it's time for you to head up with me to the infirmary to get checked out. Connie's there too." I added as I saw that she wasn't happy with it. "You wanna get rid of the goons outside the doors?" I asked her and squeezed her hand.

She looked at me and smiled almost apologetically. "Would you do that Bobby? I don't want everybody to see me like this. But could Lester come with us?"

"Of course, anything you want!" I said and stood up. "Wait for me here; I'll go face the tigers."

And I meant it. They would hate this.


Pretty please?
