8 June, Bronwyn's on-base accommodation, City K

John looked over and say the look on Bronwyn's face.  She was so uncomfortable with what he was telling her.  But, stopping was not an option.  The b*tch that was Madam Mo needed to be stopped, and that meant facing this, with the woman he loved, and dealing with her once and for all,

"Run?  Report it to the police?  That is what I wanted to do but remember that she had taken the details notes I made about what she had done to me.  Can you guess what she threatened to do?"

Bronwyn paused for a minute before saying "Use it to say that you had planned everything, because you wanted to seduce her, and you force her into everything that happened?"

"Correct.  She knew how to play the situation, manipulating me because I was vulnerable.  The next week, she was a little bit more circ.u.mspect.  Her husband and children were generally around, so she had to be seen as the woman who was trying to help business associates of her husband understand a troubled child."

"Troubled child was an understatement.  Despite being of legal age, that is what I was in some respects.  My parents had shielded Sally and I from a lot of the evil in the world, because they wanted us to see the best in people and respect our elders.  That was, as I realise now, part of the reason she targeted me.  But because she was feeding little things back to my parents telling them, that she was getting through to me and them hope that the issues that seemed to be in place would be dealt with, they were happy and unknowingly started to cooperate in allowing her to continue her abuse."

"I was, however formulating my escape plan.  I contacted the men I knew from school and put in place a plan to introduce them to her as quickly as possible.  They figured out when I was talking to me that there was more to the situation and dragged what they could out of me."

"And…?"

"You know that there is something else."

"Well, my love, I know you, and can see in telling me this, you are struggling in talking about this.  However, at the same time you would not waste time in telling me unimportant details when telling me about the situation.  Remember that your past has made you the man that I love, so stop overthinking that I will run at the first sign of trouble."

John leaned over and gave Bronwyn a kiss before saying "I do not know what I did to deserve you."

"Right place and the right time for both of us, and you love me as much as I love you."  Bronwyn looked directly at John and said, "But you need to continue, because you need to get this out, before we determine what you want to do."

"That I know.  I was willing to let the whole situation be, but that woman cannot stop causing trouble for my friends and their loved ones.  I warned her after she tried to ruin Lexi's business that if she did it again, she would not like the outcome."

Bronwyn smiled and said "The complexities of the r.a.p.e laws.  A one-off charge or victim would likely be statutorily barred, unless a statement had previously been made, but grooming behaviour where in effect it is s*xual slavery involved are not."

"Correct.  I made a statement to the s.e.x.u.a.l offences' unit, not long after I started my training at the academy.  We were in our induction urged to make reports to relevant units of anything crime we were the victim of before joining that may compromise us in the future.  I took that to heart, and made the statement, but made it clear that I did not want it to proceed to charges at that time."

"But as you have made the statement, r*pe charges, even if no other victim comes forward or is identified can be brought."  Bronwyn squeezed John's hand and smiled before saying "I knew you would have done the right thing."

John looked Bronwyn directly in the eyes before saying "That trust in me is all I need, but there is more to the story, and why this will not be as neat as you think.  As I had tried to avoid her time and time again during the week and only be around her when her husband and children were nearby, she was frustrated.  Now it sounds calculated, but at the time that was not my intention.  I just could not stand her.  What was calculated is what I did next.  I asked my parents for help to contact their friend to borrow the cabin again for the weekend, this time driving myself rather than being driven there.  As they trusted Madam Mo, I knew what they would do.  They would tell her when she contacted them, showing her fake concern, where I was.  I knew that she would believe that this was the chance she had to get me alone and get more of what she wanted.  I was counting on that, because I had arranged for my friends to come to the cabin late on Saturday afternoon.  I just had to deal with her until they arrived."

"I arrived Friday night, and as expected my parents told her where I was and she arrived early Saturday Morning, using her vehicle to block the vehicle I had driven out in.  As soon as she arrived, she stated that she had spoken to my parents who were concerned about me being there on my own, so she offered as her husband and children were away for the weekend to come and not only check on me but to allow me to talk to her."

"I just laughed at her calling her a liar, saying she was there for only one thing.  I remember the smirk on her face, before claiming that she had not lied to my parents, and again I laughed at her."
