***

I walked into the police station Sunday afternoon, my heart pounding in my chest, and my hands clammy from anxiousness.

"Hi, how may I help you?" The police officer said at the desk.

I gulped," I'd like to file a report, I was recently sexually assaulted." I said shakily.

She nodded, looked through a stack of papers, and handed me a packet," fill this out and give it back to me while I find an officer to assist you."

"Okay, thank you." I nodded and sat down, filling out the report.

Literally seconds later an officer sat down with me.

"Hi, I'm Officer O'Heir, I was informed that you were recently assaulted." He said a comforting smile on his face.

I nodded," yes."

"Come with me." We stood and went back behind a double door and to a small cubicle.

"Can I get you anything, water, coffee, tea, something to eat?" He was polite which I thought was great.

I shook my head," no thank you. A little protection would be nice." I smiled softly.

"Well that's my job ma'am to protect and serve, now I have a few questions I need you to answer," I nodded as he pulled out a notepad.

"Let's start with the simplest one, what's your name?"

"Jessica Osborne."

He nodded," okay Jessica. How old are you?"

"19, I go to NYU." I answered.

He smiled," I graduated from there, good school," I agreed," Jessica, do you know your assailant?"

I gulped and nodded," yes. His-his name is Lukas Miller."

"How are you affiliated with this man?" He asked.

"We go to school together, and he works with me."

He nodded," did you report this assault to your school or boss?"

I shook my head.

Setting aside his pen and notepad he looks at me," I'm going to have you speak with a sketch artist and we'll talk after."

***

After speaking with the sketch artist I spoke with Officer O'Heir. He was telling me that because I knew the assailant, his place of work, and his home it would make finding him easier.

He then told me that until they apprehended Lukas I would be being watched, or as O'Heir put it "protected" 24/7. He said he'd make sure his officers were like ninjas, no one seeing or hearing them.

I said goodbye and made my way home.

"Jess!" Roxy exclaimed as she saw me.

I smiled and hugged her," hey Rox."

"I missed you. And I was a little worried but I talked to Alex." She shrugged.

"You talked to Alex?" I questioned.
