"Dammit."

"Still not answering?"

I look at Norman and Andy that are sitting next to me in Norm's living room.

"No. And it's enough. I'm gonna call Irma."- I search Irma's number and dial it once I find it. It rings six times before she picks up.

"Hello? Jeffrey?"

"Yes, it's me. Irma, what the fuck is going on with Victoria?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've been trying to call her for two weeks now, and she doesn't pick up the damn phone! What's wrong?"

"Oh, Vicky..."

"Irma? What is it? What happened? Is she alright? Did something happen to her or the kids?"

"No, no. They are fine."- She takes a deep breath and I know that something is going on with my girlfriend.- "When she arrived... the kids were at my place and I was going to drive them to her place later that night."

"I know, she told me that."

"Well. When I did take them home... we stopped something really bad from happening."

"Irma just... out with it!"

"Brad was on top of Vicky. He was trying to rape her, Jeffrey."

My whole world stops and I drop my phone. I can hear Irma and the guys calling for me, but my ears are buzzing. Then, the rage fills my body. I pick up my phone, hang up the call, and immediately search for a plane ticket.

"Jeff? Jeff, what did she say? Dude, what are you doing!?"

Getting up, I ran out of Norman's house and run to my car. But my hands are shaking so bad, that I can't pick up the damn keys. I slam my hands repetitively on the door and scream.

"Jeffrey! Come on, man, tell us what's going on?"

"Yeah. Is Vicky ok? Did something happen?"

"That motherfucker... her ex-husband tried to... he tried to rape her! That son of a bitch tried to rape her!"

"Jeffrey, brother, you need to calm down, alright?"

"How can I, Norman? How would you feel if someone tried to hurt the woman you love?"

"Alright, alright, I get it. But being like this isn't going to help anyone."

"Norman's right."

"I know."- I sigh and drop my head back against the roof of the car.- "I need to go see her. I need to be with her, she needs me."

"We're going to take care of everything. Now, come on. Let's go inside and we'll help you."

"I'm sorry, guys. I just really need to go to her."

"We understand. I'm married, I understand completely how you feel."

I give them a small smile and we walk back inside Norman's house. I have to go to New York. I have to see Victoria.
