"I can't wait to finish this case" Raven said as we drove back home. We were about two hours from our city and I can proudly say I've had enough of all of them. Do I love my friends, yes of course I do. Do I want to throw them all out of the car, yes of course I do.

We finally managed to make all our proof legal and insured that there were no loopholes around it. Right now we were collecting a few witnesses.

Some had witnessed the kidnapping, three have seen our suspects scooping out schools and cafès where the girls worked, and about seven of them have seen three of our suspect's faces. But our ticket home are the two girls that managed to escape. It took a while to find them but with my brother's help, we managed to get in contact with them.

They are both living on a ranch and are both still physically healing from their wounds. They didn't want to talk to us at first but after the ranch owner talked to them they agreed to talk to me with him in the room. With their permission, I called Richard and had them describe the men they saw while he drew them. Sure enough, our suspects were all the people they described. I convinced them to come to court and they agreed cause it would help the other girls go back o their families as well. That was before the December holidays and I haven't been in contact with them since. I didn't want to risk anything. We reached my parent's house and my team stepped out of the car leaving me with the ranch owner and the two ladies

"How are you guys feeling?" I asked the two ladies

"Scared" one of them said and the ranch owner tighten his grip on her hand reassuringly

"I have a girlfriend and a boyfriend" I said making all three of them look up at me
"I know we agreed to not share names until the last few days before court but I wanted to put it out there so you know that no one in this house will judge you both"

"I deeply care for them both and I didn't want it to be misinterpreted. I don't want anyone judging them or me. I love them like my own daughters" he said making both of them tear up

"My family is a lot of things but judgemental isn't one of them. I have no idea what both of you have been through and I won't sit here and pretend I know, but I want to thank you both for allowing us to hear your part of the story and volunteering to help the other ladies" I said then the girls nodded their heads before we all stepped out the car

"I did want to bring you to a safe house but then realized we are dealing with cops so this is the safest place I know. I've already informed you of what my family does and I hope that you don't judge them for it"

"After the way cops treated us I'd give criminals a shot" one of the girls said making us chuckle

"Hey, we aren't criminals" I heard ma say from the opened door

"Oh, I-"

"You have to be caught first to be considered that" ma said with a wink making the girl visible relax

"I would love to stay and chat but I still have some work to do" I said then heard my mother scoff while I sighed

"Ungrateful piece of s..."

"This is my mother, Sage" I said interrupting her making our guest laugh

"Gavin Brown" he said holding out his hand for my mother to shake
"And these are my daughters, Nicollet and Elizabeth Brown"

"It's pleasure to meet you all and girls I'm so sorry you had to go through all that" she said then hugged the girls who tensed up at first then relaxed.
"I know you probably aren't comfortable around men yet and I, unfortunately, pushed out four of them and adopted another seven"
