Where Were You? - Chapter 30

Y/n is kneeling down on the wet grass, looking at the floor. The rain pours down on her face as she thinks about what she had lost. After about an hour of kneeling there, she finally stands up and picks up the bag. She walks over to her car and grabs a key that was dropped onto the ground. The car unlocked and she drives away. She didn't know where to go. She couldn't go back to her mom, not after last time she saw her. She kept driving, trying to think of somewhere she could go. Suddenly she hears a Siren, and sees the red and blue lights reflecting on the mirror.

Y/n: great! Just what I need!

Y/n pulls the car over to the side. She sees an officer get out of his car and towards her vehicle. He looks towards y/n, he sees all her scars, bruises and burnt hand

Y/n: something wrong officer?
Officer: are you the owner of this car?
Y/n: yes?
Officer: license and registration...

She hands him her license and registration

Officer: ...Miss, you are going to have to come to the station with me
Y/n: what why?!
Officer: well gathered by your license... you have been on our missing person's list... we need to ask you a few questions
Y/n: you're kidding?!
Officer: I'm afraid not, please step out of the vehicle... we just want to make sure you are safe

Y/n steps out of the vehicle and gets in the officer's car. They drive away and eventually arrive at a precinct. The officers guide her to a room for questioning and sit her down. Y/n is now wearing a black jacket and jeans that were given to her, to keep her warm, since her clothes were very short, and she had been in the rain. She also has a bandage wrapped around her burnt hand. Y/n waits in the questioning room, staring at the mirrored glass. After a while of waiting, a tall woman with long brown hair enters the room, and sits at the chair on the opposite side of the table.

Woman: hello miss y/n, I'm detective Miller, I have a few questions for you
Y/n: I want a lawyer...
Miller: you aren't in trouble y/n, we just have a few questions

Y/n folds her arms and sits silently

Miller: where have you been these last few months?
Y/n: ... the forest
Miller: ...where did you get the cuts and bruises?
Y/n: a bear...
Miller: and the hand?
Y/n: struck by lightning...
Miller: *sighs* miss y/n, we can't help you, unless you be completely honest with us
Y/n: why am I even here?! You said I was missing right?! You see me now, so why can't I just leave?!
Miller: because, those cuts on your skin, are clearly from some sort of knife... so tell me... who did this to you?... was it an ex partner? Someone you knew? a kidnapper perhaps?
Y/n: I wasn't kidnapped!
Miller: then where were you?!
Y/n: ...
Miller: we just want to make sure the person who did this to you, pays for what they have done... so help me do that
Y/n: ... you wouldn't believe me...
Miller: try me
Y/n: ...you'll think I'm crazy... but I'm not
Miller: if you won't tell me what happened... will you atleast talk to a therapist about this?... we can assign one to you considering the situation...
Y/n: ...please
Miller: alright... do you have anywhere to stay? Or is there anyone we can call?

Y/n shakes her head

Y/n: I have nowhere...

They hear a tap on the glass. Detective Miller leaves the room to go talk to them.

Miller: what?!
Detective: you should take her to stay with you
Miller: me why?!
Detective: not for long, just until we can figure out somewhere else she can stay... she might feel more comfortable staying with another woman... plus if she was taken by someone, they could be out looking for her... the safest place she can be right now is with someone who can protect her
Miller: *sighs* fine

Miller goes back into the room with y/n

Miller: y/n, since you have nowhere else to go, it's probably best you stay with me for awhile. Until we can figure out a better place for you to stay.
Y/n: r-really?
Miller: yes... we just want to make sure you are safe
Y/n: th-thank you
Miller: come on, you could do with a decent place to sleep for a while

They both leave the room. After a while y/n is at the detectives apartment, and is sitting on the bed in the spare room. Detective Miller walks in and brings y/n some warm clothes.

Miller: here I brought you some warm clothes I had spare... thought you would prefer it to those other clothes you had on
Y/n: thank you...

Miller is about to leave the room

Y/n: detective Miller?
Catherine: you can call me Catherine
Y/n: Catherine? Umm it's kinda hard for me to reach down. Would it be ok if you helped me? It just hurts a lot when I try to get changed
Catherine: of course

Catherine helps y/n take off the jeans and jacket she had on. Y/n tries to hold in her pain, but it was very hard for her. When Catherine tries to take y/n's dress off from underneath the clothes what had been given to her. She sees Fumiko's name cut on y/n's skin

Catherine: oh my god! Y/n? Is that the person who did this to you?!

Y/n goes silent. Catherine looks at her and sees it was very difficult for y/n to say anything. The question made y/n upset. Catherine continues to help y/n get changed into the new clothes. When Catherine has finished she leaves the room and grabs her phone. She dials a number to the other detective

Catherine: hey Patrick it's me... I was just helping y/n get changed and saw the name Fumiko cut into her stomach. Can you look for anyone who might go by that name in a 200 mile radius?
Patrick: sure thing Catherine, I'll get the team straight on that
Catherine: thanks

Catherine hangs up to phone and stares at y/n's door. She is very concerned for y/n.
