"Hey sweetie" Jess walked into Hannah's room at ten at night and found the teen sat up in her bed, her knees together as her arms wrapped around them and she smiled lightly at Jess.

"Your dad called…said he shouldn't be too long at the precinct" Jess sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at her stomach where she felt the kicking for a moment and then back at Hannah who simply nodded "how you holding up?"

"I think I'm fine" Hannah said, looking down at her duvet "it's stupid really…he didn't actually do anything to me…but I feel…"

"What is it Hannah?" Jess pushed her gently

"I feel dirty" Hannah whispered "as if…there was a point where I thought he was going to actually rape me Jess"

"That was his intention honey" Jess didn't lie to her "but you were brave…you managed to get out of there before he could do anything"

"That's the thing" Hannah said "I keep thinking of what he could have done Jess...I was alone and scared…I tried to get him off me but he wouldn't move…"

"Come here" Jess said and awkwardly she wrapped her arms around the teenager and pressed her head onto her shoulder in a comforting manner as Jess simply shook her head.

"Don't think of what could have happened honey" she said "because it didn't"

"I know" Hannah agreed

"Of course there will always be a part of you that wonders but you have to tell yourself that you escaped…you managed to think quickly and not many people could have done that in a situation like yours" Jess explained and Hannah nodded once again.

"At least the pepper spray came in handy for once" Jess joked and Hannah laughed slightly as she sat back up and Jess wiped away her tears

"Don't let this get to you Hannah" Jess squeezed one of her hands "the creep isn't coming near you again and you need to be strong to forget about him…don't let him ruin what you have"

"I know I should count myself lucky" Hannah said

"Well…partly lucky…you don't tend to be a lucky kind of person sweetie" Jess smiled sadly and Hannah chuckled to herself.

"That's true" she admitted

"So you're going to be okay?" Jess checked

"I will be" Hannah said with a yawn

"Get some sleep…do you want your dad to come up when he gets home?" Jess stood up and looked at Hannah who nodded.

"Alright then" Jess said "Goodnight Hannah"

"Goodnight Jess"

….

"I'd like to go in there and rip his scrawny head from his shoulders" Don growled as he and Danny stood behind the glass pane of an interview room, watching how Daniel sat and lounged around.

"Bit of an arrogant arse, isn't he?" Messer said, folding his arms over his chest as Don snorted

"I can't believe they didn't let me do the interview" Don complained

"Because you'd have killed him?" Danny suggested and Don looked at his friend

"Would that have been a bad thing?" he asked and Messer shook his head

"No" he said "but you would have ended up in jail then Hannah and Jess would have killed you"

"Yeah well" Don said "with the amount of crime scenes I've been to I know how to make his death look like an accident" Don did up a button to his jacket as an officer walked into the interview room and made ready to take Daniel to a holding cell for the night. Don moved from his spot and followed until he saw Daniel in the midst of the precinct and he stopped them in their tracks as the boy rolled his eyes.

"I warned you" Don said, noticing his nose was an odd shape "and you ignored me, didn't you?"

"She was gasping for it" Daniel whispered slightly. The officer, sensing Don's annoyance, tried to drag the boy past him but Don stood in the way.

"You're a sick boy and if I ever see your face again then I will kill you. Got me? No one hurts my daughter and gets away with it" he threatened him

"Oh yeah?" Daniel smirked "because I don't see you doing anything about it now"

"That's because I don't take the law into my own hands" Don said and the officer began walking past Don again.

"Because you're a coward. Just like your daughter was when I had her on the back seat of her car" he called out and Don turned red. Storming forwards, ignoring the cries of Danny to stop, he grabbed Daniel and slammed into the nearest filing cabinet as officers tried to pull him back.

"Don…he's not worth it" Danny stated, dragging his friend back as he continued glaring at Daniel who was then being carted off by an officer.

"Stupid little arsehole" Don shouted after him and Daniel just smirked and then Don took the seat at his desk, slamming his fists onto the wood.

"Flack" Messer snapped "You alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine" he said curtly "if I could have reached for my gun in time" he swore

"Then I'd have stopped you. Now get off home to your wife and daughter"

…..

"How is she?" Don asked Jess when he walked in late at night. She was sat up in bed, reading as Don removed his tie and undid his top few buttons before removing his jacket.

"She's not too bad…I talked with earlier after Mark had left for work…she was scared Don…" Jess said and Don sighed "she told me to let you know that she doesn't mind if you go and wake her when you got in"

"I should do" he said and pecked Jess on the cheek before moving for Hannah's room.

"Hey" he smiled, seeing she was still awake, sat with her legs folded beneath her in the cosy cream chair by her bookshelf, a blanket draped over her. Don kissed her on the cheek swiftly and she smiled at him;

"What happened?" she asked and he sighed

"He's being done for attempted rape" he whispered "he's in the station still"

"You didn't shoot him?" Hannah checked

"No. The thought had crossed my mind" Don admitted, pushing Hannah to the side of her chair so he could sit awkwardly beside her in the large seating chair.

"I suppose I should thank you…for giving me the pepper spray" she said and Don chuckled a little

"I told you it may come in handy…although I thought you'd be using it for Mark" he replied "but you're going to be okay, right?" Don checked

"Yes…he didn't do anything" Hannah said and Don raised a brow

"You sure…you can always talk to someone Hannah…" he assured her and she rolled her eyes

"I'm not off back to the shrink dad" she complained "I'm not crazy"

"I know" Don said quickly "I just wondered"

"I'm fine" she promised

"I'm just looking out for you baby…like dad's do"
