"Have you told anyone about this?" I asked Rebecca.
She shook her head. "I haven't told anyone," she replied as her voice cracked. I brought my hand to hers and held it to comfort her. "Not my family, not my friends, I was so scared after his threats."
My heart broke for her. Rebecca had been through a harrowing experience and she had to keep it to herself all this time.
She cried for a bit after sharing her story. I patiently waited for her as I held her hand in support.
"Rebecca, I am so sorry that you had to go through this," I sincerely apologized to her once she'd calmed down a bit. I felt awful for having made her relieve that horrible experience.
"So what happens now?" she asked me as she wiped away her tears.
"Well, I will finish this investigation and once we have Mr Gatwick dealt with, we will contact you. I promise you Rebecca I will get you the justice you deserve," I promised her.
