Remembering to Forget

Chapter 3 Therapy

Olivia entered the clinic looking for anything familiar anything to trigger a memory like a sound, a smell or just simply anything. She entered Huang's office to see two men who she guessed were George and Simon.

"Olivia I'm George remember?" he asked and Olivia was deep in thought.

"Maybe..." she trailed before turning to Simon taking a step toward him. "Are you Simon" she whispered and he nodded bringing her in close enveloping her in a warm hug. She started to cry in his arms and all the while he stroked her hair softly.

"It's OK, you'll get better I promise" he whispered kissing her forehead.

"Don't make promises you can't keep" Olivia whispered but Simon was remaining positive.

"I didn't" he smiled, the two sat down on the couch and Amanda left giving them privacy.

"OK Olivia are you ready to talk about it" George asked and Olivia turned to Simon with a desperate expression.

"Liv it's OK I'll be here" he said quietly and she grabbed his hand squeezing it tightly.

"OK" she breathed getting ready to share. "All I can r-remember is him saying....saying..," she began but couldn't finish, she buried her face in Simon's chest and cried quietly.

"Shh it's OK, you can tell us" Simon whispered and Olivia stayed where she was but began to speak.

"He said... I owe him the truth, that I would suffer for the wrongs I did to him, he said I wasn't a child of god that I was Satan's baby" she said squeezing Simon tighter.

"OK well I think that's enough for one day I'll see you next week" George said and Olivia and Simon stood up in unison. Simon still had his arms around Olivia.

"Come on I'll take you home" he whispered and they walked to the door where Amanda was standing. George asked to speak to Amanda in "private".

" is everything OK?" she asked sitting down.

"I think this case goes deeper we thought, I think Olivia has a stalker" he said.

"What makes you say that?" Amanda asked worriedly.

"Well it has to be someone in some sort of religious colt, I think he stalked her because how else would he know she's a child of rape" he said and Amanda was shocked although she had to admit it did make sense.

"OK so you're trying to tell me that this guy raped Olivia as a punishment because she was the product of her mother's rape how does that even things out?" she asked and Huang shrugged.

"I think possibly he believes that she is a child of Satan because of the circumstances"

"Why didn't he kill her"

"I think he was trying to, but he wanted to do it with his bare hands, if we hadn't gotten to her as soon as we did she'd be in a morgue"

"OK so he wants her to suffer the way her mom suffered wouldn't that mean raping her too?"

"It probably does but before we go further into details I must tell you, I have to refer Olivia to a new therapist, I need to work this case and if I'm her therapist I can't" he said handing Amanda a letter.

Olivia entered her apartment and sat on the couch, she was annoyed, very annoyed. "I don't want a new therapist!" Olivia said like a five year old refusing to eat her vegetables.

"Olivia Dr. Kingston is a good doctor" Huang said softly.

"I tell you everything I give you my worst thoughts on a silver platter and you send me on!" Olivia yelled.
