After school, Trixie and Coco went to Trixie's house. They had made a plan that they would meet one of the four victims every night before the trial and listen to their story.
Trixie said to Coco, "Trixie doesn't know if she can do this. She's scared."
Coco assured her, "It will be okay. This will help you for the upcoming trial."
The doorbell rang and Trixie opened the door.
The person standing at the door was a young woman with bright yellow hair tied back in a French braid, pale pink skin, a bright red blouse with blue shorts with a silver brooch on her left side side and white sandals.
Coco said, "Victim #1 is a 21 year old rich girl named Red Ribbon."
Red Ribbon said, "Hi, nice to meet you Trixie."
Trixie said, "Come in."
Red Ribbon sat down on Trixie's couch.
"I heard about Rough Rider doing you-know-what to you?"
Trixie said, "You know too?"
Red Ribbon said, "Everyone knows Trixie, it was on Channel 5 news yesterday."
Trixie nervously gulped, "So, how did you meet Rough Rider?"
Red Ribbon sat down in an armchair and said, "It's pretty hard to talk about, but since you were a recent victim, I think I'll to tell you. It was three years ago in the streets of Manehattan."
Trixie said, "Trixie's listening. You can tell me everything."
"It was my eighteenth birthday and my best friends took me into the city to a popular dance club where we would be celebrating me officially turning into an adult."
*flashback to Manehattan in the spring of 2013*
Eighteen year old Red Ribbon was being led into a club blindfolded by her friends.
"Okay Red, you can take your blindfold off now."
Young Red Ribbon took off her blindfold and saw that she was now in a snazzy neon lights dance club setting.
One of Red Ribbon's friends named Pink Lipstick asked, "You like?"
Red Ribbon said, "I love it!"
Another friend, Costume Jewelry said, "Happy birthday!"
"Thanks guys. How did you guys do this?"
Pink Lipstick said, "I used daddy's money to pay for three tickets and Costume Jewelry's older brother made us fake ID's."
Red Ribbon hugged her two best friends, "You guys are the best. Let's party!"
Trixie interrupted, "Wait, did your parents know that you guys snuck into an adult club?"
Red Ribbon said, "I lied to my parents that I was going to see a movie, but after the incident, I told them everything. Now, let me continue."
Back at the Manehattan dance club in 2013.
"My friends and I had a wild night. We danced to all of the greatest songs, sang karaoke, and even had a few beers."
Trixie looked at her.
"Remember we had fake IDs so we could pass off as 21."
Young Red Ribbon, Pink Lipstick, and Costume Jewelry were now drunk and lying at a table at the club.
Pink Lipstick said, "Whaddya guys wanna do now?"
Costume Jewely plopped her head, "You guys wanna go on a joyride around the city?"
Young Red Ribbon said, "I don't know 'bout you guys but I wanna get some more beers *hic*."
Trixie asked, "When did Rough Rider come into play?"
Red Ribbon said, "Oh yeah, that night, Rough Rider was at the club scouting for women."
20 year old Rough Rider was looking around the club when he spotted a young Red Ribbon walking by with a drink in her hands.
Rough Rider turned to Red Ribbon and said, "Hey babe. Whaddya doing in this club?"
Young Red Ribbon set her drink down and said, "Having a birthday blast with my friends. I'm becoming a woman!"
"Interesting." Rough Rider said as he sneakily slipped a roofie into Red Ribbon's drink.
Young Red Ribbon said, "Do you want to drink and dance with me and I'll take you out for a little surprise afterwards?"
Young Red Ribbon said, "Sure. Just gotta text my friends that I scored a boy."
Rough Rider turned away and snickered.
Trixie asked, "What happened afterwards?"
Red Ribbon said, "So I drank with him and danced with him and then he drove me to my 'surprise'."
In the flashback, Rough Rider had driven himself and Red Ribbon to an abandoned alley near the club.
"What kind of surprise is this? Why do I feel so-" Young Red Ribbon passed out.
Rough Rider said, "That's it babe, that's it."
He began to unzip his jeans and start to strip an unconcious Red Ribbon.
In the present day Red Ribbon said, "That's when he raped me. I was knocked out from all of that alcohol I didn't know what was going on until after I woke up to see that monster zipping up his fly."
In the flashback, Red Ribbon said, "Did you enjoy it babe?"
Young Red Ribbon cried, "What did you do to me?!"
Rough Rider said, "I just wanted to fully make you a woman. Now my work here is done. So long you little slut."
He got into his car and drove away, leaving Red Ribbon alone.
Trixie asked, "Did it scar you for life? What happened after?"
Red Ribbon said, "Thankfully I still had my phone with me so I called my friends to come and get me. I also alerted my parents about everything. They were furious with me, but were glad I told them."
Trixie asked, "Was Rough Rider punished?"
Red Ribbon said, "Sadly, he got away with rape every time. That is, until he met you."
Coco said, "Thank you so much for coming. I'll see you at the trial."
Red Ribbon said, "Thanks so much."
Then she grabbed her purse and left.
Coco said, "See Trixie, that wasn't so bad."
Trixie said, "Yes, it feels so relieving to talk to people who know what I'm going through."
She hugged Coco.
