Rip had just pulled up into the Dutton Ranch driveway coming from taking care of business when he saw the ambulance at the main house. He floored the gas and got to the main house in seconds. Breaking hard causing a giant gust of dirt to fly up.

"What the fuck happened"? Rip slammed his door asking the ranch hands that were standing outside.

Lloyd came over with his hat in his hand. "I'm sorry to tell you this Rip but Y/N was attacked". Rip gulped, balling up his fist. He marched past the cops that were trying to stop him. "Get the fuck out of my way". He threw a cop on the ground. Luckily for Rip the cop was on his side.

"John"? Rip called out seeing John standing by the couch a hand covering his mouth. Broken glass littered the house. Furniture knocked over and broken. "Where's Y/N"? Rip asked but before John could say anything they heard screaming coming from the bedroom.

Rip ran to your room and slung open the door. You sat on the floor, your knees held against your chest. Beth kneeled beside you as the paramedics tried to help you but you didnt want their help. You wanted to be alone and Rip could sense that.

"Y'all need to get the fuck out. She doesnt want you to touch her so beat it". Rip growled, taking his hat off.

"We need to check her over and take her to the hospital". One of the paramedics explained.

"Get out now". Rip gritted his teeth stepping forward. The paramedics nodded and left. Beth left with them.

Rip crouched down beside you, moving a piece of hair from your face. He saw the black eye forming and the bloodied lip. He looked over you and saw your clothes were torn, your arms were scratched up. You had blood under your nails.

"What happened baby"? Rip gulped down his tears, his lips quivered.

You couldnt say anything, you just flung yourself onto Rip and cried into his shoulder. You didnt want to talk about it right now. Not to Rip your boyfriend.

"Shhh, everythings going to be okay? I love you so much". Rip gently wrapped his arm around you and the other under your legs picking you up and putting you on the bed.

You sniffled as you laid on the bed, starring out the window, blankly.

"You know who did it"? Rip asked clearing his throat then he started  chewing on his lip. He knew you didnt want to talk about it but maybe you would give up the person.

"Just a friend of my fathers". You sobbed after you told Rip. Rip walked around to the other side of the bed and laid down beside you.

"Baby, I know you dont want to go to the hospital but I think you need to get checked out". Rip gently laid his hand on yours.

"He didnt. He was close too but daddy came home and caught him. He shot at him but he got away. I fought back and I tried to get him off but I couldn't". You quietly sobbed.

Rip was a relieved that he didnt get to go any further. He was so proud of you for putting up a fight. But he still wanted this guys head on a stake.

"Will you go if I take you"?

"Will you stay with me"?

"Of course but I'm going to catch this guy and I'm gonna kill him".

"I know you will". You looked up at him and slightly smiled.

Rip got the blanket off the end of the bed and wrapped it around you, he picked you up and carried you to his truck without saying a word to anyone. He put his truck in reverse and headed down the driveway.

Arriving at the hospital Rip waited in the waiting room even with protest, threats and yelling. It was protocol that he waited out side. But he didnt waste any time finding out who this guy was.
He called up Lloyd and Kayce, they were to find the guy and bring him to the ranch. Rip would take care of him there. 

Soon you got your room and settled in. The doctors wanted to keep you over night just for observation.

"John and Beth are coming to stay with you.  I have something to take care of but I'll be back. I promise". Rip kissed your forehead.

"I know". You rubbed his forearm just as Beth came in.

"I'll see y'all later". Rip tipped his hat and left. He was on a mission for vengeance.

Rip wiped blood from his face as the man sitting in front of him spat on him.

"You tell that fine piece of ass that this isnt over". He chuckled which landed a right hook from Rip to his face.

"Shut your fucking mouth". Rip yelled, his voice echoed through the barn. Lloyd, Kayce and Ryan stood guard. Watching Rip destroy this guy.

"Hehehe. You think your some big macho man? You got a surprise coming for you". The man laughed, blood pouring down his nose.

"Well, you wont be there to see it". Rip pulled out his gun and shot him between the eyes. He fell to the ground with a thud. Gun smoke withering out of the bullet hole.

Rip wrapped the body in a tarp and dug a hole off the Dutton Ranch. Somewhere no one would find him then he went home took a shower and headed back to the hospital.

When he got there you were asleep. Sleeping peacefully. He came in and sat down beside you in the chair.

"You okay"? Your groggy voice startled Rip.

"I'm fine. You dont have to worry about anything any more. It's taken care of". Rip took your hand in his.

"My hero. I love you, Rip". You smile, a tear rolling down the corner of your eye.

"I love you. Now get some sleep. I'll be here". Rip sat back in his chair, tilting his hat down and secretly watched you as you drifted off to sleep.

He wasnt going to let this happen again. Not on his life.
