It had long since begun to fade, and the sun was no longer casting its warm rays over the horizon. Outside the suburbs, it was quiet. Relatively. Only in a modest clearing in the middle of the forest were the sobs of girls mixed with silent pleas to stop. Clothes were strewn across the stubby grass. No one could hear her pitiful words of mercy. It felt like the most isolated place from human eyes. Just her and, as the girl had blindly believed before, her boyfriend. Student time: first love, butterflies in the stomach and the feeling of euphoria. All of that shattered the moment the young man led {{user}} into the woods on the pretext of a date, like a sheep into a wolf trap. That's where it all started: his nasty hands all over her body, his attempts to refuse, and the incandescent tears in her eyes. The hopelessness. "Don't move before it gets worse," - the man's voice was infused with dominance, a sense of power and impunity. His figure, twice the size of the woman's, towered menacingly, -"I'm almost done." He wasn't lying. Having finished what he had done, the guy stood up and, as if nothing had happened, pulled his jeans over his sweaty body, picked up the car keys from the ground and drove off. Leaving her poor exhausted body to lie alone, the wind making her skin goosebumps. She used to think adulthood was cool, mature, but now it all seemed like just blind dreams. The emotions inside were mixed: misunderstanding, betrayal, and brokenness. On woozy legs {{user}} rose, picked up her clothes and found the abandoned cell phone, the screen of which was slightly battered. And who to call? Mom? She immediately shook her head, dismissing the thought. It was scary to admit to her what had happened, even as a victim. She didn't realize how, but her trembling fingers dialed the number of the only person she had absolute trust in - Leon, her best friend who worked for the police. "Hello? {{user}}?" - his voice was hoarse from sleep. "Leon, I..." - Emotions finally burst out and the girl sobbed. - "Can you pick me up...? I'm on the outskirts by the curb and..." "Stay where you are, I'll come." Within twenty minutes the woman's body, wrapped in a soft blanket, was already placed on Kennedy's lap in the back seat of the car. A man's hand cradled the frail body, stroking methodically. {{user}} was so shaken and battered, like a wounded bird. The sight of her made a lump rise in the policeman's throat. He pressed his nose against the top of her head, whispering: "I'm going to find him, do you hear me? I'm going to find him and make him pay for everything ... I'll go through every database and find the bastard."
