Trashed And Scattered
She’s Been What?
After the cops had left Skully’s house and took a statement from me and Brian, we all went over to my house to wait for some word from the police about Raven. I looked down at my watch for the thousandth time as the others were in the living room watching what the news was saying about Raven. I sighed and got up and grabbed a beer from the fridge and popped off the top with my teeth. I think I’m going crazy with suspense these police officers are giving me. Why won’t the phone just ring? When I thought that my phone rang out loudly and I quickly picked it up.
“Hello?” I said answering my phone.
“Is this Mr. Zacky Baker?”
“Yes Ma’am.” I said politely.
“This is officer Stacey Michaels. We got Raven and she is safe from Mr. Moody.”
“Thank god. Where is she?” I said in relief.
“She’s at the hospital right now getting checked over.”
“Thank you so much Officer Michaels. I’ll be down at the hospital in a few minutes.” I said placing my opened beer back into the fridge.
“It’s not a problem.”
I said goodbye to her and hung up my phone and pushed it into my pocket and grabbed my keys. I went back into the living room with a smile on my face.
“Guys, they got Raven and we need to get to the hospital.” I said and they all jumped up and followed me out of the house. We piled into our cars and drove over to the hospital. We parked our cars close to the front of the building before going in. I asked the woman at the front desk and she gave me her room number and we took the elevator up to the third floor and easily found her room. She was laying there asleep with tubes running out of her arms with a doctor and police officer in the same room.
“How is she doctor?” I asked immediately.
“Are you her father?”
“Yes. I’m Zacky Baker.” I said shaking the doctor’s hand.
“Mr. Baker, this is Officer Michaels.”
“Yes I know. I spoke to you over the phone a few minutes ago.” I said shaking her hand.
“I just waited here to tell you that when she gets out of the hospital you need to bring her down to the police station to make a statement and a positive identification on the suspects.”
“Don’t worry I will.” I said and she left the room. I turned to the doctor and he was writing on a chart.
“Mr. Baker, can we speak in private?” I nodded at the doctor and I followed him from the room and I shut the door behind me.
“What’s going on Doctor? Is she alright?” I asked and he looked down at the chart and then back at me.
“Raven, was beaten pretty badly as you could have seen but she was raped as well. It looks like multiple times by either one man or 2.”
“She was raped?” I asked with anger starting to fill my soul.
“Yes Mr. Baker. I’m very sorry.” I shook my head and walked a little bit away from him trying not to let my anger get the best of me but I just couldn’t help it. I swung my closed fist straight into the wall and the doctor grabbed my hand quickly. He inspected it and luckily I didn’t break anything.
“Mr. Baker, if you need anything just have one of the nurse come and get Dr. Williams.” I nodded and went back into the room and sat down beside Raven and taking her hand in mine.
“What’s going on Zacky?”
“Dr. Williams said she was…raped multiple times.” I said not looking at the guys because I didn’t want them to the see pain I had etched into my eyes.
“That son of a bitch raped her!”
“Calm down Brian.” Matt said placing his hand on Brian’s shoulder.
“I will not calm down Matt! I swear if the police didn’t have both of them…I would fucking kill them.”
“If you did that Brian, where would the justice be for Raven?” Matt said and Brian looked at him with a knowing expression. I looked back at Raven and took in the black eyes and the bruise that had formed on her cheek from either being punched or slapped. I was expecting something worse to have happen to her but I’m glad it wasn’t a stabbing. I wiped some of her from her face and I wish I was the one who experienced everything she did with Ivan. If I could have taken her place, I would and I know the others would have too.
