CHAPTER 72
15 MINUTES EARLIER...
FAITH POV:
My hands shook nervously as I picked up the phone to dial...
''Hello 911 Chicago Police Department, what's your emergency?'' the female officer asked.
''Um hello...m-my name is Faith, Faith Melrose, and um....I was raped, t-two and a half years ago back in my home state of Ohio'' I said shakily.
''Ma'am, can you state your name clearly for me please?'' she asked.
''Faith Melrose'' I told her again, and I could hear her typing rapidly at her computer while I spoke.
''OK Ma'am, please continue'' she said in a soft tone.
''My attacker was never caught. And I was too traumatised at the time to give the investigating officer's any hard evidence to help catch him. To my knowledge, the case was closed...until now'' My heart was pounding so hard, I was sure the officer could hear the drum-like rhythm it through the phone as we spoke.
''Yes Ms. Melrose...I have your case on my screen, and I can see your incident...um, the case was never closed, but lack of substantial evidence means it was turned into one of our 'Cold Cases'. So...you're saying you have some new evidence that could shed light on your case?'' she asked.
''Yes'' I replied, taking in a deep breath...''I have the jacket belonging to him, the very one he wore the night he...'' and I could feel my eyes stinging again with tears of emotions.
''It's okay Ms Melrose, take as much time as you need'' the officer spoke softly.
''Thank you'' I said quietly ''anyway, he made the mistake of leaving the mask that he wore during the incident, inside the jacket pocket. I discovered it earlier today when he loaned it to me to keep warm'' I said, gripping the phone tightly with anger.
''He's a friend of yours?'' she asked in surprise?
''Y-yes'' I replied ''...and I trusted him'' I said in a tone.
''It's going to be OK Ma'am...'' she said softly ''Um....who does the jacket belong to Ms. Melrose?''
''Jonathan Good. Although most people will recognise him by his stage name....'Dean Ambrose'' I said, waiting for the recognition in her voice.
''Jonathan Good...Dean...Ambrose'' she said, continuing to type away at her computer ''I'm sorry you said 'stage name'? Is he someone famous?'' she asked curiously.
''He's a WWE wrestler. As am I'' I told her.
She was silent for a moment. Then she said ''This is a very serious accusation Ms. Melrose...you're sure that this jacket with said mask in pocket belongs to him? The man that raped you two and a half years ago?''
''Yes'' I replied confidently.
I never told her that the only thing that didn't make sense in all this, was the strange odour still on the jacket, I mean I had been hanging out with Dean for months now, and I had never once smelled anything like that on him. But I'm sure there was some sort of reasonable explanation for it. However, it was in the authorities hands now.
''Well...'' she said, still audibly typing away at her computer ''we will first need to see the jacket you have. It's not enough to arrest him without forensic evidence, and that could take a while, but your statement IS enough that we can't ignore. Based on the information you've just given me, we can bring him in for questioning, at least.' she said ''Keep the jacket safely with you ma'am, I'm sending an officer by right now to retrieve it now''
I waited patiently while she took all my details, and entered them into her computer ''In the meantime, do you know where we can find Mr. Ambrose?'' she asked.
''Turn your TV to USA Network, where you'll see the bastard standing in the middle of a WWE ring....and I want him arrested tonight!!!''
I hung up the phone up and looked down at my hands...they were shaking crazy! There's no turning back now Faith, the countdowns already begun! I said to myself, while holding my hand to my heart, which was pounding out of control right now!
I suddenly jumped out my skin when my mobile began vibrating in my hands...it was Roman.
''Hey babygirl, I've been trying to call all afternoon'' he moaned cutely ''my meeting with Vince has finished now, so I'm all yours beautiful'' he said, blowing a ton of kisses down the phone ''my god I miss you so much, how are you? Where are you?'' he asked excitedly!
''Baby...are you there?''
''Sorry baby, I'm here, I'm here...'' I said taking my jacket off and tying it round my waist, as my back had begun dripping nervously with sweat during the phone call to the officers, and now I was boiling hot! ''...I'm uh, I'm not getting too much connection in this arena'' I lied, as I needed a moment to collect myself and gather my thoughts.
''How about this connection'' he said in a seductive voice, sneakily coming up behind me and hugging me tight.
''Oooh!'' I said jumping slightly, and turned giving him the biggest hug ever! ''Baby! I've missed you so much!'' I said, burying my head in his chest while holding him tight. It was the truth too, I missed him more than words could imagine. I didn't realise until I held him in my arms, that he was the exact relaxant I needed to calm my nerves right now, as I stood enjoying his warm touch and comforted embrace. But more than that, I was elated with happiness that Roman/Joe wasn't the one who attacked me that night.
''Hey baby girl, well look at you...'' he smiled holding me tight in his arms ''...you look just as beautiful as ever'' he whispered softly, and leant down to kiss me with his loving touch.
I kissed him back so strongly, and passionately it almost took his breath away!
''You missed me that much huh?'' he winked grinning down at me, then pulled me even closer to him as he said ''...well baby I know the feeling, because I missed you so damn much too'' he smiled, and passionately kissed me back, while hugging me even tighter.
''How was the meeting?'' he asked nervously.
''It was pretty brutal'' I admitted, remembering just how upset I was ''Triple H was ooooo mad at me Roman! He demanded an apology at the end of it, which of course I gave him wholeheartedly, but after that he just stormed off without even saying goodbye to me, or Stephanie'' I told him.
''Ouchy!'' Roman said, with a yikes face ''I'm so sorry baby, I really am'' he said apologetically ''just give him a little time to calm down, and I promise everything will be ok'' he smiled kindly ''and hey, the worst is over with right? Now you can concentrate on proving the haters wrong, and give amazing match, after amazing match, just like I know my girl can!'' he said picking me up in his arms and squeezing me tight.
''Thank you Roman, you are so sweet'' I smiled up at him ''I sometimes still don't know what I did to be so lucky to have you'' and I could feel my heart filling with emotion as I said it.
''Are you ok baby?'' he asked, gently lifting my chin and looking at me worriedly ''You don't seem like your usual self'' he said concerned.
You know me too well...I thought, looking in his concerned eyes.
''Of course I am silly, I'm just a little jet lagged that's all...'' I lied again.
''Aww poor baby...'' he said, hugging me once more ''...and the ride down from the airport couldn't have been much better for you either, Dean told me the whole place was still packed with Earth day protestors'' Roman said rolling his eyes.
Just the mention of his name filled me with rage!
''Everything's fine. I just missed you so much you know, and I wish we could have spent more time together...'' my voice trailed off slightly as I began thinking what was ahead.
Roman suddenly let go of me, and looked deep in my eyes ''You sure you ok?''
''Of course, I told you already Roman I'm fine, really'' I smiled, trying to sound confident
''Then why do i get the feeling that your saying goodbye?'' he said quietly.
Because it may come to that....I thought sadly.
''What are you talking about silly? Why would I be...-''
''Roman! Get over here will ya!'' Vince barked suddenly from behind us, and we both turned to see him zombieing his way over, along with the other participants in tonight's Fatal Fourway match, that being Broc Lesnar, Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler.
I could see in Romans eyes that he was reluctant to leave me, but he knew he had to go as business was business.
''Go! Quickly baby go! I'll catch up with you later I promise'' I smiled up at him ''I love you...'' I whispered.
''I love you too'' he whispered back, still looking at me sceptically, before quickly turning and running over to join Vince and the others, while I stood in the corner and watched.
