A/n: anything in italics is something being signed. I wanted to have her voice telling the story and not constantly be talking through another person.

Kelly was waiting by the door when Steve and Danny arrived at the hospital to interview Elyssa.

"She says she's ready and wants to talk to you guys, but if it gets to be too much I'm pulling the plug on this." She warned before allowing them to enter the room.

"Understood." Steve said, not wanting to piss the nurse off yet again.

They headed into the room together. Kelly took up her post next to Elyssa on the left side of the bed while Steve and Danny stood on the other side. Kelly then gently placed a hand on Elyssa's shoulder to signal their presence before she began to sign to the younger woman.

'Elyssa, this is Commander McGarrett and Detective Williams. Do you think you can talk to them about what happened the other night?' Elyssa nodded and quickly responded back.

"She says that she was at the library studying." Kelly said as Elyssa's hands moved quickly. "She wasn't supposed to be out of the house that late but finals are coming up and she needed to do some research for one of her papers."

"Why wasn't she supposed to leave the house?" Steve asked.

'Jack doesn't like me to be out on my own when he's on assignment but I lost track of time.' Elyssa signed back.

"Jack is her brother?" Danny asked, looking to Kelly to confirm. Kelly began to sign but Elyssa wasn't looking at her but the two men in front of her instead. She stared them down for a moment before responding.

"The worst part about losing your hearing is that suddenly the rest of the world goes blind. I can read lips so I ask that you look me in the eye when you speak to me just as you would anyone else.' She requested.

"I'm sorry, Elyssa." Steve apologized sincerely for the both of them. He made sure to look at her this time when he spoke. "Jack, that's your older brother?" She nodded.

"He's a Marine stationed here on the island. He's really protective of me." Elyssa signed, her shoulders slumping as she went on. "Jack is on a training exercise right now and I….I just wanted to show I could take care of myself." She added and a few tears slipped off her cheek and onto her blanket. Kelly rubbed her arm gently to comfort her.

"What happened at the library?" Danny continued softly.

"I didn't realize how late it had gotten until Nick found me."

"Nick? Nick Green?" Elyssa nodded.

"He said the library was closing and offered to give me a ride home." She admitted.

"What happened when you were leaving the library?" Danny inquired.

"Nick invited me over to the frat house. Said some friends were having a party."

"Do you know Nick well?" Steve asked.

'Yes…at least I thought I did…He's my friend…I trusted him' Ellie's hands started to shake a little as she signed and her eyes got a faraway look in them. Steve could see by the look in her eyes that it would be a long time before she would trust anyone again.

"Why did you agree to go with him to the party?" Steve questioned.

'I wanted to do something to feel normal again.' She admitted as she started to cry harder. Kelly wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders to try to comfort her.

"Gentlemen, I think she's had enough for now." She stated.

"We need to know what happened once she got to the frat house." Danny declared reluctantly. Kelly sighed as she signed the question. Elyssa took a deep breath before she answered.

"I don't really remember." She admitted. "We were sitting around in the living room. I remember feeling really tired and one of the guys suggested I go lay down…..Nick said it was okay. I knew something was wrong but I couldn't stop it. I tried to scream but nothing came out…..I couldn't stop it….I just wanted it to end." Elyssa's tears turned to sobs and she covered her face with her hands.

"Now we're done." Kelly insisted. Steve and Danny nodded in agreement and then silently slipped out of the room.

"It's not much to go on." Steve stated, slightly disappointed. They didn't know much more now than they did before. "Unless we can get a DNA match, we're going to have to hope she can ID this guy somehow."

"If she hasn't blocked it from her mind." Danny added as Steve's phone rang.

"It's Chin." Steve announced as he answered. "Chin, what's up?"

"I just talked to Colonel Matthews CO and he said that his unit just returned to the base. He said he would hold off on telling him until we could get up there to talk to him." Chin explained.

"Alright, Danny and I are just finishing up here at the hospital. We'll head over there next. Did Kono get anything from the friend?" Steve asked.

"She said he admitted to bring Elyssa to the frat house but claims that she willingly left with one of the other guys there. When she asked for a DNA sample he lawyered up."

"There's a surprise." Steve muttered. "Look and see if you can dig up anything else on Nick Green or Landon Johnson. We need some kind of leverage to get them to talk." He requested.

"Will do." Chin replied before he hung up. Steve turned towards his partner.

"We have to go talk to Jack Matthews and let him know what happened to his sister." He informed. Danny bit back a groan.

"That's all you babe." Danny stated. He did not want to be the one to tell the Marine that his sister had been drugged and raped. Steve frowned at him but any response was cut off when Kelly exited the room, her eyes slightly red and sparkling with tears.

"Is she okay?" Danny asked sympathetically as the nurse composed herself.

"She will be." Kelly said. "She's asking about her brother."

"We're just about to go talk to him." Danny replied.

"Good. She needs him right now. The doctor wants to discharge her tonight if someone can come and take her home." She informed.

"We'll let him know." Steve promised. "Thank you for all your help." Kelly smiled at him sadly.

"If you really want to thank me, find the bastard who did this and make him pay."
