Shattered

"As I told you, Sheila doesn't like me. What I am about to tell you, well, it isn't just from rumors. Some of it I heard from her own mouth and other from her boyfriend." This startles Director Bishop.

"You knew her boyfriend?"

Savana scoffs and writes, "Her boyfriend, before he broke up with her after having sex with her, was Grant. He told me far more than I ever wanted to know about his past flings while we were dating. I finally had to tell him that if he wanted to continue dating me that he needed to stop talking about what he did with other females."

The Director was confused at first then Brice tells him, "Grant Hudson, was Savana's boyfriend that was killed the same time as her parents."

Understanding dawns in the Director's eyes. "I understand. I know that my daughter-in-law was a stuck up bitch. I didn't see my granddaughter often due to my job and location of where they lived.  I believe my granddaughter takes after her mother quite a bit."

The words seemed to leave a bitter taste in his mouth. 

"Sheila, she wasn't like me. I was a virgin, but she was well known as being easy around the school. I heard that she had two abortions by the time she was sixteen. That part I heard from her own mouth as she was bragging to her friends in the girls locker room after PE.

"Because she wasn't a virgin she wouldn't have gotten away without being sexually abused. It likely started as soon as the sheriff got a hold of her. Well, if she was taken when her father was in the accident then he would have waited until he wouldn't be seen. Then he likely would have allowed his men to sample her as well. Then once he sold her she would have been sexually abused by those that bought her until they sold her at the auction. Then of course there would be the one that bought her. You know more about what happens after that.

"I'm sorry, I wish there could be better news."

"If I ever find her, I'll be sure to get her some mental therapy like you, Miss Carter. Thank you for telling me what you knew of my granddaughter. That she is promiscuous isn't terribly shocking. Her mother was little more than a whore when she found my son. Unfortunately my son decided that he loved her. I kept my mouth shut not wanting to lose my child over her, but I was less than pleased by it. The accident that stole my son made it so that I had to rewrite my will. My daughter-in-law will receive nothing. If I ever find my granddaughter, it will depend on how she treats me and responds to treatment. If she's like her mother then she won't receive anything either. I happen to know that the bitch daughter of mine has already spent Sheila's inheritance from her father. Sheila will be thrilled to know that if I can ever locate her." Director Bishop seems to deflate before their very eyes. Like he's given up and lost hope.

"Director, knowing that your granddaughter was from the same town as Savana actually made it so that we could trace her sell. We believe that we have located her. My men are preparing to launch an assault on the mafia that bought her. They will bring her back and if you would like, you could go in afterwards and rescue the other slaves with your men." Brice tells the Director after debating with himself. He would have rather just gone in destroyed the mafia, pulled out the bitch and then notified the feds to get the others, but it would be too risky and they might not like that.

"Nonsense. If you know her location then give it to me and I'll have our tactical team do the raid and free them all at once." Bishop responds and the anger makes him stand up straight once more.

"I can't do that sir, my men are ex special forces and are specialists in this field. They will be able to extract and retrieve your granddaughter. I won't even be allowed to go with them. I will, and if you wish you can join me, be waiting a safe distance away for them to bring her to me. If, at that time, you wish to have your men attack what will be left of the mafia and retrieve the other slaves it will be acceptable."
