“Marina, make sh-sh-sh-sure he is-s-s-s-s-s s-s-s-secured,” Serpentina said into the phone.

She hadn’t seen her sister for a few days, being careful not to give Original Sin or her sister any clue as to where Shane was being held. Marina had been very unhappy with the plan but she knew she couldn’t do anything about it.

“Stop the stupid hissing,” Marina shot back. “And he and I will be backstage when the fight happens.”

“No! I told you he was-s-s-s-sn’t to be releas-s-s-sed until I came for you.”

“Alina, I’ve had it with your snake crap!” her younger sister replied icily. “You know I don’t agree with what you did and you’re damned lucky I convinced Shane not to press charges. After what you did, I would if I were him.”

“He knows-s-s-s how unhealthy that would be.”

“Do YOU know how unhealthy your obsession is?” Marina yelled into the phone. “Because you’re scaring the piss out of me and I’m related to you.”

“I’m doing it for you!”

“I never asked you to! You’re doing it for yourself, just like everything else.”

“Marina!”

“What? You know it’s true! You didn’t go into the sport because you had to. You went in because you wanted to, and you dragged me in with you. There were plenty of other jobs you could have taken.”

“None that paid as-s-s-s-s much as this-s-s-s-s-s!”

“You think we really needed all that money?” Marina asked softly. “You think I couldn’t have gone to college without it? Alina, you know I was granted full scholarship to at least two universities that I want to go to. I used my brain to get there, not someone else’s pain.”

“S-s-s-still, the money helped.”

“Not enough to be worth it,” Marina spat back. “You kidnapped someone and BROKE HIS LEG! I don’t know what kind of a monster you’ve turned into, but you are far from the sister I used to know.”

“Marina.”

“Stop it! Shane goes home today no matter what happens. This is the end of it, Alina. After tonight, you quit that club, or you don’t come home. I don’t need the bullshit!”

The line was abruptly severed and Serpentina could only look down at it sadly.

“Tara!” Matt called as he spied her coming through the arrivals gate. “Where’s the rest o’ them?”

“Back there,” she motioned her head to the baggage claim.

“They gittin’ yaw bag fo’ ya?”

She glanced down at her gear bag and back up at Matt. “You know Rio always travels light,” she said in her Russian accent.

“Hey, I don’ mind ‘er like Shan, bu’ I prefer ma sista right now.”

“Speaking of Shannon,” Tara said in her normal voice. “Where is he?”

“I sent ‘im ta th’ café fo’ a while ta cool off,” Matt shrugged. He gazed at her intently then and pulled her off to the side so they could speak quietly.

“Oh, God,” she swallowed nervously. “He told you.” Her eyes began to tear and she began fidgeting with her hands.

“Hey, stop,” he soothed quietly. “I ain’ mad atcha. Why would ya think that?”

She only shrugged but kept her eyes averted. Sniffling a few times she tried to regain control of her nerves. “I told him I didn’t want to do this before the fight.”

“An’ tha’s exactly why we need ta do this, baby girl,” he whispered tipping her head back with a hand under her chin so she was forced to look at him. “Ya cain’ go in there a bundle o’ nerves like ya are. Someone’ll git ‘urt, an’ even tho’ I kno’ it won’ be you, ya’d neva fo’give yo’self.”

“Matt, please don’t,” Tara pleaded, her dark blue eyes shining. “I can’t.”

“Ya need ta,” he whispered as he stroked her back with his free hand. “Ya’ve ‘eld it in too long. An’ I kno’ o’ only one person who can ‘elp ya git it out, besides Shan. ‘E’s too emotional ta do it right now.”

“But you have to go to him then,” she argued. “I’ll be fine.”

“I wasn’ talkin’ ‘bout me.”

“Thanks, bro,” Jeff said quietly from behind her. “I’ll take it from ‘ere.”

“I’ll keep th’ family busy fo’ a while,” Matt sighed and walked away.

“They’re ova back yonda,” Jeff pointed the way then turned Tara to face him. “Now, Matty wouldn’ tell me WHAT exactly is goin’ on when ‘e called. Bu’ I kno’ ya an’ this is big. Ya eitha tell me now, o’ in front o’ yaw family. Wha’s it gonna be?”

“Jeff.”

“Don’ ‘Jeff’ me, baby,” he said sternly. “Ya ain’ gittin’ outta it.”

“This is MY life,” she replied. “I get to choose what goes on.”

“Not wit’ so much a’ stake,” he said unmovingly. “I didn’ save ya only ta letcha down now.”

She stared blankly at him.

“Ya rememba sayin’ somethin’ similar ta me way back when ya was Rio?”

She nodded.

“Ya ask’d me ta trust ya then,” he went on. “I’m askin’ ya ta trust me now.”

“I DO trust you,” she hissed. “What is it with you and Shannon and the word trust? If I didn’t trust you, we wouldn’t be here.”

“Ya trust me,” he agreed. “Ya jus’ don’ trust my love fo’ ya. O’ Shannon’s. O’ Matt’s. Maybe even yaw daddies’. Ya believe tha’ ya hafta hide ev’rythin’ in yaw past tha’ was bad, ‘cause ya think it’ll make us leave ya.”

Her face turned red and she looked down.

“Look a’ me, Ri,” he commanded softly then frowned deeply when she didn’t comply. “Rio, look a’ me.” She looked up. “Ain’ NOTHIN’ in this worl’ tha’s gonna make me leave ya,” he said darkly. “An’ I’m sho’ Shannon said th’ same.”

She nodded mutely.

“Tell me exactly wha’ ‘appen’d in th’ cabin.”

Her eyes began to tear again but she drew herself up and sniffled, knowing she owed it to him to come clean.

“I was raped,” she said on a broken sob that she held in with all her might.

“Jesus,” Jeff whispered but his eyes beckoned for her to continue.

“I was grabbed by Justin’s stepfather, only none of us knew it was him until later. He was a serial killer, targeting Japanese exchange students, and Justin and Sven had saved his newest victim.”

“Th’ girl ya ‘ad wit’ ya befo’ ya lef’ Massachusetts?”

“Seka,” Tara nodded. “She came to stay with me, and he somehow found out and blamed me for taking her away from him. That was the time when I really didn’t care what happened to me.”

She tried to look down again, ashamed, but Jeff wouldn’t let her. “Go on,” he ordered quietly.

“When I woke up in the cabin, he said he was going to kill me, and I thought, ‘Fine by me.’ He was a little annoyed that I wasn’t fighting back. But when he turned me around, I saw Seka tied up on the bed. I knew I had to buy her some time to try to escape so I started fighting. Only I . . . I . . .”

“Ya weren’ Rio then,” he said softly. He understood.

“Seka began to struggle with her bonds while he . . . he,” she sniffled again and then managed to collect herself. “He started raping me. I don’t remember anything else because I zoned out after that. Seka told me she saw the light go out in my eyes. When I came to, Justin was holding me and Sven was there. I remember being so furious with them for not letting me die.”

“Why?” a voice asked from behind her, and she knew Shannon had been there to hear the whole thing. “Don’ be mad, baby,” he said softly. “Ya kno’ ya weren’ gonna tell me willin’ly.”

“Shannon.”

“Don’ cry,” Jeff soothed. “’E’s right. An’ ‘e needed ta ‘ear this as much as ya needed ta tell it. Now ansa ‘im. Why were ya so furious.”

“People told me my whole life that everything bad that happened to me was my fault,” she cried. “Almost every foster family, Ben’s mother, they all said it was my fault. Ben’s mother told me to join my husband. So I figured that’s what I should do. I wasn’t any use to anyone anymore. No one needed me.”

“Tha’s no reason ta quit,” Shannon said as he turned her around and crushed her to his chest. “An’ they were th’ useless ones, Tara. No’ you.”

“An’ if ya neva made it, ‘ow many mo’ girls would Justin’s stepfatha ‘ave killed? ‘Ow many otha fightas would Henry ‘ave poisoned? Includin’ Todd. An’ Shanny may neva ‘ave walked again. So many people ‘ave benefited from knowin’ ya. Why cain’ we git ya ta see it?”

Tara wept softly into her husband’s chest as she listened. Somewhere inside she knew he was right, but that somewhere was buried underneath years and years of cruelty, and she didn’t know how to dig herself out.

“Whateva th’ reason,” Shannon whispered in her ear, “ we ain’ gonna stop tryin’.”

Voices down from down the hall indicated that Matt and the others were approaching.

“Hey, Jeff,” Shannon looked up at his best friend. “Ya think ya can tell ‘em I took Tara back wit’ me an’ tha’ we need some time alone fo’ a while befo’ th’ fight? I don’ think she needs ta ‘ave ev’ryone breathin’ down ‘er neck right now.”

“Unnerstood,” Jeff smiled. He bent down and kissed Tara on the back of her head. “See ya soon, baby sis,” he whispered before walking away

“Okay,” le’s hightail it outta ‘ere befo’ yaw daddies think I caused this an’ kill me.”

“I love you, Shannon,” she offered a small smile.

“Ya gotta kno’ by now tha’ I love ya, too, darlin’.”
