Her Second Chance At Love complete

(14) The Monster Is Caught

Lisa’s POV

I just looked at him in surprise.  This guy was full of surprises and I didn't know how to react.  He had shown me so much kindness and so much love in the last few days.  I wasn't sure how to react to any of it.  Ray had been great though as well while they were dating and once, we got married it had all changed.  We drove in a comfortable silence towards the Chinese restaurant to pick up our food for the night.  He parked in a spot in the front that said "reserved for owner".  I couldn't help but stare at him in awe when he smiled at me and said "I'm the owner of this little place."  He reached over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek "will you be ok waiting here in the car while I run in and get the food?"  I nodded my head that I would be fine.  Little did I know that soon enough I would see someone who would make my blood run cold and the memories flood back harder than before.  I was listening to the radio lost in my own thoughts when I caught a glimpse of the door to the restaurant opening.  I looked up smiling thinking it was Mike and was stopped dead in my tracks when I was staring right into the face of Sam.  Where in the hell did, he come from?  He smiled at me and licked his lips.  He started walking towards the car and I became terrified.  What would he try to do to me?  Surely, he wouldn't try anything here?  But then again, I thought I was safe with him walking along the lake.  Oh God where is Mike?  Should I make a run for it into the restaurant? Should I start screaming?  One thing for certain I wasn't going to make it easy for him.  I reached over and locked the doors so that he would have to break a window to get to me.  That made me feel a little safer.  I closed my eyes and was praying that Mike would appear soon.  As if on cue he came walking out the door completely unaware of what was going on.  I was hoping desperately that Sam would turn and leave when he saw Mike leaving the building but he just kept standing there.  Looking at me darkly.  It seemed to be a mixture of revenge and something I couldn't quite put my finger on.  It terrified me to be frank.  Then I looked up and saw Mike looking between the two of us.  What was he doing?  Mike nodded at me, smiled and then went back into the building.  My heart stopped why in the hell did he do that?  My eyes started to fill with tears.  Just when I was beginning to think he was a good guy he left me out here all alone to the mercy of this man that had hurt me.  Oh God what was I going to do now?  Would there be an escape for me?  At least the doors were still locked.  I put my head in my hands and closed my eyes.  I may feel his gaze on me but I didn't have to look at him.  That's when he started yelling at me and taunting me through the car window.  Oh God someone please help.

What I couldn't fathom the most through this whole ordeal was how I could have been such a terrible judge of character with Mike.  How is it that he could just turn away from me he must have seen the look of terror on my face.  He just walked away.  I could hear Sam talking to me through the window saying all sorts of mean and vile things to me.  He was making my skin crawl.  I was holding my head in my hands so I didn't have look at this man.  Suddenly I heard a thud that sounded like a body hitting the ground.  I heard Sam scream "what the f**k dude" in shock.  I heard a few more voices in the mix of things and the next thing I knew the door was being opened.  I was scared and fighting it.  Someone was reaching for me and I didn't know who it was but I wasn't going down without a fight.  "Lisa, Lisa honey please it's me.  It's Mike.  Honey your safe nobody is going to hurt you.  I need you to uncover your face and look at me." I uncovered my face to see Mike looking at me terrified.  Why would he be terrified I was the one facing the demon.  "Honey I came out of the building and took one look at your face and you were staring at him with such fear.  I went back inside to grab a couple of my bigger guys and to have them call the police.  They should be here soon but you are going to have to tell them if this is the guy that attacked you."  "Why?" "Why what honey?  Why did I go get the guys? Simple you needed me more than I needed to pummel that guy." I looked over to where two guys had Sam pinned to the ground and shuddered.  "That's him. That's Sam the one that attacked me."  "Attacked you is that what you’re calling it now huh sugar."  I shuddered at the way he said those words to me.  "Shut up asshole it takes a really low piece of scum to hurt a woman like you did."  It was one of the guys holding him down saying that.  All I could do after confirming that the person they were holding was the one that hurt me was bury my face into Mikes shoulder.  He hadn't left me after all.  He hadn't abandoned me and turned away when I needed him the most.  He had put his own feelings aside to think of me first and I wasn't sure how I felt about it.  "I want to leave and go home Mike."  I said between my sobs.  He just rubbed my head and softly spoke to me. "I know honey but we need to wait for the police to arrive so that you can make the proper identification and they can put him where he truly belongs. Can you do that to make sure the monster gets what's coming to him?"  I nodded my head and just clung to my protector until the police would arrive.

Sam’s POV

I had just enjoyed one of the best Chinese dinners ever.  I always liked coming to this place to eat it was the best quality of food in this town.  My stomach was full of food and alcohol.  Now I was horny as hell and wanted to get laid.  It had been about a week since that date I had that the stupid b***h kneed me.  f**k that hurt.  She was a good piece of ass though even if she was unconscious for pretty much the whole thing.  She put up one hell of a fight and I found that I really like the fight.  Hell, I was amazed at how f*****g hot it was having her fight me.  Instead of turning me off like I thought it would if a woman resisted it made me want to take her even more.  The more terrified her voice was the more excited I got.  She was hitting and scratching at me and it wasn’t fazing me.  Then she had reached out and scratched my face which made me really angry.  I punched her in the face a few times and then grabbed her head and slammed it into the ground.  I watched her eyes roll to the back of her head and thought for a minute that I killed her.  But when she continued breathing, I continued on with getting my d**k into her p***y.  When she finally woke up, she started fighting again and man was I getting hard all over again with her fighting.  Then she did something I didn’t see coming she kneed me in my f*****g d**k.  That pissed me off beyond belief and I wanted to cause some serious damage to her.  Once I had recovered though she was no where to be seen.  I decided I would see her again one of these days and have her again only this time she wouldn’t get a chance to knee me like before.  But hell, even though she was fighting I knew she wanted it.

As I walked out of the restaurant, I saw a car parked in the spot that was reserved just for the owner and was impressed to see that the owner was actually here.  It’s not often that you see those kinds of parking spots actually used.  But what I saw inside the car is what really caught my attention.  It was her, my date from a few nights ago what was her name Liz, Leah?  I didn’t care.  I started to lick my lips when her gaze came up and caught mine.  I could tell that she immediately recognized me so I started to walk towards her.  She actually reached over and locked all her doors and put her head in her hands.  “Hey you, stupid b***h you owe me a f*****g blow job for the number you did to my d**k the other night.  Come on out of there baby I want to f**k that sweet mouth of yours and then get my d**k into your sweet p***y once again.”  I could see her crying and shaking her head.  Good she was scared which meant when I got her out of that car she would fight like no other and my d**k was getting hard just thinking about it.  The door to the restaurant opened again but I didn’t pay any attention.  I was to focused on my main target.  I vaguely heard someone say “oh f**k” and heard the sounds of bags hitting the ground.  I still didn’t care I was focused on that beautiful b***h and if I had to I would break the f*****g window to get to her.  Before I knew it I was being tackled by some huge linebacker type dude.  “What the f**k dude?”  I yelled out but there were two guys holding me down.  A different guy got into the car with his keys and was holding my little p***y tight.  I heard her say that I was the guy that raped her and laughed “that’s what you’re calling it now sugar?”  Then I heard something about the police coming and knew the s**t just got real.  I need to come up with something quick.  For tonight at least I could pretty well guarantee that I was going to jail.

Mike’s POV

It took the police a matter of mere minutes to get here but it seemed like an eternity.  The whole time we were waiting Sam was yelling at her about how she wanted it and she knows it.  I could tell that she wanted so much to yell back at him but couldn't find her voice.  I just held her tight to my chest and told her not to listen the ugly man on the ground.  I could tell that she just wanted to crawl in a hole and die.  When the police officers arrived on the scene, they immediately took the loud and obnoxious Sam into custody and stuffed him into a car.  She was relieved I could tell because she could no longer hear him talking to her. The officer that came to question her by the car was the same officer she talked to at the hospital and I was thankful for that.  I didn't know if she could tell her story of Sam and what he did to her to someone else.  Especially when her memory was so chopped.  I couldn't bear the thought of someone else looking at her with pity in their eyes the way she has seen so many who know about the rape look at her.  Where in the hell would she get some of her dignity back.  She had told me that she wanted nothing more than to forget that the whole thing happened. It was just something I had said to her when she had made that statement kept playing over and over in my mind.  I asked her to think of how many women he may have already done this very thing to.  Women that maybe weren't hurt as badly as she was but they were too afraid to come forward.  Worse yet maybe they were too ashamed.  Think of all the women he could possibly do it to again if she didn't speak up and say something.  While she may be too late to help the others and herself, she could save someone else from suffering her fate or worse be killed by the jerk.  She confessed that she hadn't thought of it that way but there was no way she wasn't going to do what she could to make this man pay for what he did to her.  At the very least people would be able to see what kind of monster he was and that would leave the women of at least this city safe.  So, with a new found confidence she told the officer that the man in his car was indeed the very same man that raped her.  The officer looked at her closely and told her to look at Sam once again and be certain that was the man who attacked her.  She didn't want to but I gave her a reassuring hug and said "he's in the car and he can't hurt you.  You can do this you don't have to go anywhere because you can see just fine from here."  She sighed because I was right, she had a clear view of a fuming mad Sam in the back of a patrol car from where she was sitting being held by me.  With the comfort of my arms wrapped around her she brought her gaze up to meet Sam's eyes and told the officer “Yes that's him."

With that the officer nodded his head at her and said "good job I know that wasn't easy but that was exactly what I needed.  We already have the DNA from the rape kit and your clothes and once we get him booked with your identification the DA will have no problem getting a court order to get a blood sample from him to show if it is or isn't him.  We will also need you to get us the name of the website you used to meet him and what his profile name was.  This way we can have our tech guys search his history and find out if there are more victims out there.  I know this wasn't easy for you but it was one of the bravest things I've ever seen a woman do. Confront her attacker."  With that the officer took his leave.  When the police car pulled away, she looked up at me, I was looking at her with a mixture of admiration and concern.  Without even thinking about it she reached up and touched her lips to mine.  I was taken aback by the small gesture and said "what was that for?"  She smiled at me and said "for being such a wonderful supportive person.  Oh, you dropped the dinner everywhere!"  She noticed it as she was talking to me just now.  I looked over her shoulder, shrugged and said "ya I guess I did.  When I came out all I could see was the look of terror on your face and I just knew he had to be the guy that attacked you.  I needed to get him away from you but I also knew we needed to get him off the streets.  I can have one of the staff bring a fresh order to us.  Let me give them your address and we will get you to your house."  With that I went back inside the building and was back in the car in a matter of mere seconds.  We were off for her house and made it there in a matter of minutes.  When we got to the house, I helped her inside and asked her if she wanted to freshen up before the food came.  She nodded and told me that she would love to shower and get into her pajamas.  I told her to take her time but asked that she leave the bathroom door slightly open so I could hear if she needed help.  She smiled at me and told me she would.  What had I done to land such a sweet and beautiful woman?  I wasn't sure but I knew one thing for certain I was going to savor this relationship for however long it lasted.  I only hoped it would be a very long relationship.  A very good relationship.  While she still had healing to do, I couldn't wait to see if we meshed as well in the bedroom as we did in life.  But I was going to be patient and wait for her to tell me when she was ready.  There would be plenty of time for bedroom things because I intended to spend the rest of my life with this woman.
