A/N This is a really dark chapter. If it bothers you, don't read it.

"Mom?" Nora asked, finally becoming conscious.

"Nora! Oh, thank goodness." Christina squeaked, wrapping her arms around her daughter's beaten body. Nora winced when her mother brushed some of her bruises.

"Is daddy here?" Nora asked hopefully.

"He's around. Oh, Nora. I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry? What happened? Where's Damian?" Nora asked.

"You don't remember?"

"I remember...the woods. Was I in the woods? Why am I here mom?" Nora asked. Christina had no idea what to say to her daughter. The rape kit hadn't come back yet, but from the exam...they knew. There was too much blood for it not to be rape. Christina did not want to believe it. What mother would? Owen was around, but he was so livid, Christina didn't want him around when Nora woke up. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Christina, can I talk to you?" It was Izzie.

"Yeah, but Nora's awake." She said, gesturing to her daughter who waved meekly at Izzie.

"Oh, welcome back." Izzie said warmly. "It's important."

"Alright. Nora, I'll be back."

"Wait. Mom, I remember more." Nora said with wide eyes. It was coming back to her.

"Sweetie, I'll be one second I promise." Christina said, all the while her heart was breaking.

"Okay." Both Christina and Izzie left the room, and went into the hall.

"So she's finally awake?" Izzie asked.

"Yeah. It's been over 24 hours, so we were getting worried. Has there been any word on Damian?" She asked frantically.

"Not yet." Izzie shook her head and a fresh set of tears leaked from Christina's eyes.

"I'm trying to not...in front of Nora."

"I understand. Christina..." Izzie began. "The rape kit."

"You got the results?" Christina whimpered through her tears.

"Yeah...I'm sorry." Izzie said. All of a sudden, everything in Christina's world shifted. She became very dizzy and disoriented. It felt like her stomach fell into her stomach and a chill went down her spine.

"So, let me get this straight. My son is missing, and my daughter was raped by whoever took him?" Christina asked once she regained her balance. Her voice was full of anger and sadness. It broke Izzie to see her like this.

"Christina. I am so sorry. Owen is downstairs talking to the police. You should go sit with Nora until they get up here." Izzie said, ushering Christina into Nora's room.

"Mommy," said Nora. Nora had not called her mother mommy in years.

"Nora."

"I remember." She said quietly, her eyes filling with tears.

"You do?" Christina asked calmly.

"Yeah. We were leaving school. It was kind of late. Damian was fooling around. We got outside, and this van pulled up beside us. Someone yelled at us. They shot at us and pulled us away from each other. Some one put Damian in the van but the other guy wouldn't leave...he took me into the woods." Nora said, sobbing.

"Is that when he knocked you out?" Christina asked, hoping this was the case. Hoping that her if her daughter had to do through all of the pain she went through, she could have been knocked out through it.

"Well, I hit my head. Badly. Then I woke up a bit and he was..." Nora stopped. She could feel her mother's and Izzie's eyes on her. She didn't want them to know what he did. Christina could feel the anger welling up in her chest, when there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, my name is Sarah." Said the woman that Izzie let in. "I work for the FBI."

"FBI?" Christina asked. "What is the FBI doing here?"

"Dr. Hunt, we think your son's abduction was linked to two others recently." she said bluntly.

"What?" Christina asked, and Izzie stepped out of the room.

"I'm so sorry." She said warmly. "I know that this is not easy-"

"You know this isn't easy? How the HELL would you know?" Christina yelled, making Nora jump.

"Four years ago, my three year old daughter was kidnapped by my ex husband. We found her two weeks later, alive." Sarah said and Christina apologized. Sarah also apologized, saying that Christina had every right to freak out. She was under a lot of stress.

"Your daughter may be the only witness they've ever left alive." Sarah said. "I want to speak with you Nora, if that's okay." Nora nodded.

"Wait, they've killed all of the other witnesses?" Christina asked.

"Two males have been kidnapped, and three witnesses, males, have been killed." Sarah stated.

"Why did they leave Nora alive?" Christina asked.

"To rape me." Nora said quietly. Sarah sat down on Nora's bed and talked to her in a warm voice.

"We're going to do what is called a cognitive interview. You're going to try and tell me everything you remember. This is as much about what you sensed as what you saw. Can we try?"

"Yeah. I think so." Nora sighed.

"Dr. Hunt, it is usually easier for children to do this without parental presence. Can you please excuse us?"

"Of course." Christina sighed as she stepped out of the room.

"Owen! Finally!" Christina cried when she saw Owen in the hall.

"Izzie said she's awake?" He asked hopefully.

"Yeah. Did she tell you the results of the...rape...kit?" Christina asked and Owen showed her his hand. It was wrapped up.

"Yes, and the wall took a beating from my frustration." He sighed. "What the hell are we going to do? It's been over 24 hours. You know what happens. 99% of abducted children die within the 24 hours, and God knows that Nora's never going to be the same."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Christina asked angrily. "She's a brave kid. She's been through all this shit and she's still alive. She can get through this."

"Christina, this is a trauma. One that she can't erase. This bastard ruined her life." Owen yelled.

"What the hell are we going to do?" Christina repeated.
