The Garden

A New Life

Anastasia
Dad told me that Carla and Steven will be in prison for life now. I am thrilled about it and we are celebrating after the trial. Dr Jones was slapped on the wrist by the medical board, but found out he was mislead and they made death threats against him and his family which they followed through on as far as his wife was concerned. I have to say it's a relief not to have those memories any longer.
Thea
I am waiting for the trial, but have started the civil suit against the Davis family. His parents tried to pay off his victims, so they are liable for his crimes as well. Assets are being frozen. Elliott was offered a number and he settled with me quickly. The number was not disclosed and the conditions weren't either. But it did include Tia and Mia making amends to me and my family. Elizabeth Atherton is to assure they follow through. My parents think Elizabeth and Elliott came up with a fantastic idea for their punishment. They have to work with victims of rape and violence and drive us where we need to go in their birthday gifts. They have to drop everything and attend our needs day or night. Security has to come with them as well. Female security was hired for them. Christian hired them to assure the women felt more comfortable.
Dr.Jones
I paid my PI his final payment, he helped catch the killers and found my daughter in the police station. I wasted time on Anastasia, instead of her Andi or Carla Morton was working as my PA and knew every move she and I made. Now I am a single father. Alyssa cries for Justine quite often. I was found to have some fault, and given the choice of community service or my license suspended or a month. I chose community service of four hundred hours helping victims of violent crimes. I can do that. I had to get it done in a years time.
Thea
Dr Jones is joining us today for group therapy. I have to say he is a nice looking doctor. But Tim was nice looking too. A nice looking outside doesn't guarantee a nice inside. Carrick is still working on the legal issues. Elliott has made sure Tia and Mia are working hard to make up for everything. Elizabeth makes sure mom, dad and I are satisfied with their help. She's brutal. I feel bad, but think of that party and I get over it fast. I had my virginity ripped open that night. I had to have surgery to repair certain areas. Elliott has paid all the bills and then some. Elizabeth is keeping track of them so Tia and Mia see the costs of just the financial side. She insists they also hear the emotional costs is something they need to know as well. They come to appointment after appointment and the surgeries as well. Mom and dad abide them, but they can't forgive them yet.
Tia
I go home exhausted physically and emotionally from hearing the horror stories of these victims and how they feel now and they are scarred for life. Elizabeth and Elliott are making us work with Thea and the rest of the women who were raped and beaten by a date, husband and complete strangers.
Mia
I couldn't believe we have to be here listening to these women crying about men, when suddenly a man came in pointing a gun at his victim and he grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out the door by her hair as she was screaming and crying. Sawyer got him under control and cuffed him and got the cops here quickly. The woman had to be taken to the hospital. She had a broken nose and an arm as well. Her three children were in daycare. I no longer will act so cavalier about these ladies talking about being hurt by men. Now I see it first hand and we were watched in shock as he dragged her by her hair not caring that he was hurting her badly. If he did this in front of us not telling what he did in front of his children. Dr Jones went with her to the hospital to calm her down.
Sawyer
I saw the guy approaching fast and with determination and started following him, my charges were inside the therapy room and he pulled the gun out and shoved the doors open. I dialed 911 and pulled out the cuffs and got ready. I got there too late he had a lady by the hair dragging her face down across the floor. I put my gun to his head and told him to give me his gun and lay down on the ground if he wants to live. He complied and I cuffed him and got her hair out of his grasp. The EMTs run inside and they turn the lady over and it's bad, very bad. Bone sticking out of her arm and her nose is broken and she's unconscious. Dr Jones offers to go with her to keep her calm. I think her being unconscious not sure how that works, but I just let him try. I call Taylor and tell him about the incident and he tells me he is hiring females to help out. I think that would be best.
Tia
I am still shocked and the other ladies are shaken as well. I am lucky that I have never had to worry about this and thank God Sawyer was here and was on top of it. That guy was going to kill her. I don't even know her name. I need to be present like Elizabeth told me. I can't just go through life with blinders on. Life became very real today and the day Thea was found raped on the grounds of Elliotts home. I am so very lucky to have my family and security to protect me from this kind of thing.
