On Wednesday, Trixie was starting to feel more confident that she could take down Rough Rider in court. With Jade Emerald's advice fresh in her head, she was ready to take on the world.

During lunch, Trixie sat next to Coco and asked, "So who's victim #3?"

Coco said, "According to the list of the five women who will be at Rough Rider's trial, the next victim is Fluer de Lis's 29 year old cousin Belle Rose. She lives in the city section of town with her husband and daughter and she said we could visit her after school to hear her story."

Trixie said, "Great, we'll visit her after school to see what she has to say about him."

After school, Trixie and Coco took a bus into the city and went to Belle Rose's apartment.

Trixie knocked on the door and a beautiful women with brown hair, a blue sundress, and a rose pin in her hair said, "Hi you must be Trixie. My cousin Fluer knows your friend Coco."

Trixie responded, "Hi. Is the rest of your family home?"

Belle Rose nodded, "Sure, Beast Tamer and Sunflower are in the living room playing together."

Coco said, "Great, let's go in."

The trio went inside of Belle's apartment and met her husband, Beast Tamer, and their six year old daughter, Sunflower.

"You were really brave for standing up to that mean old Rough Rider Miss Trixie." Sunflower said to Trixie.

Trixie said, "Thank you."

Belle Rose said, "Before I tell the story, Beast Tamer, could you take Sunflower to Mrs. Chandler's apartment so she could play with Kelly. I have an important grown up conversation with the girls."

Beast Tamer and Sunflower left the apartment.

Trixie asked Belle, "What was your experience with Rough Rider like?"

Belle Rose said, "Unlike the other victims, he almost raped me but I ended up fighting back. I also discovered that Rough Rider had a difficult home life. It was eight years ago when I was 21 and Rough Rider was 15. I was in college working as a tutor to mentor younger children. So far, I had only worked with kids in the special ed section of the college and nobody under the age of 18. But then I got an offer to tutor at a local high school by my professor."

In the flashback, Professor Youngblood said, "Miss. Rose, we have recieved an offer from Neighami High school about a student named Rough Rider who is struggling in his subjects and is flunking out of school. His teachers wanted to know if you could stay with him for a while and help him get his grades up."

21 year old Belle Rose said, "I'd love to. I've always wanted to tutor a high school student."

Professor Youngblood replied, "Great, you start in three days."

"Three days later, I got Rough Rider's address and drove to where he lived. I expected a lonely teenager with insecurities but it was much darker than I expected."

When 21 year old Belle Rose arrived at 15 year old Rough Rider's home, she was shocked. The house was dilapidated, covered in graffiti, and some of the windows were broken. 

Belle Rose was nervous at first but slowly went up and knocked on the door.

A tall, burly man with a five o'clock shadow carrying a beer bottle stumbled onto the door.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Belle Rose held out a business card, "Hi I'm Belle Rose. I go to the UNeighami and I got an offer from this house saying that your son needs tutoring."

The man slurred, "My name is Motorcycle Helmet. The kid's upstairs."

He yelled upwards, "ROUGH RIDER DAMN IT! THERE'S A LADY HERE FOR YOU!"

Belle Rose looked to see 15 year old Rough Rider with shaggy hair, braces, a skinny frame, and shabby clothes.

"Hi."

Trixie interrupted the flashback and chuckled, "Wait, Rough Rider was a dork and had a terrible home life?"

“Of course he did. If you listen, I'll tell you more. Now Rough Rider had grown up in a broken home. His father was an unemployed alcoholic and his mother was almost never home because she was too busy working to support the family."

In the flashback, Belle Rose was waiting to tutor young Rough Rider when he saw the young teen covered in bruises.

"Are you okay?"

Rough Rider said, "I got beat up in school because I was weird."

Belle asked him, "Do you have any friends to back you up?"

"I have no friends. No one likes me because they think I'm a poor loser. I just want to kill those assholes."

Belle was shocked at that remark, "Rough Rider, violence is never an answer."

Rough Rider said, "It is too. Dad says that if you want someone to like you, you have to force them to do it, no matter the consequences. I take my anger out on all the girls in my school. I always send them crude notes to them to ease my pain."

Belle had a disgusted look on her face, "Why would you do that?"

Rough Rider answered, "Girls are easy prey. They're just so vulnerable, they'll believe anything I tell them. I say I'll make their dreams come true, but really I want to take away their innocence."

Belle gasped, "Do your parents even approve of this?!"

"My mom too busy working to try and prevent us from ending up on the streets to listen to my problems. She always ignores me. And my stupid dad spends his time drinking and watching TV. He always insults and that I'm too ugly to get laid."

Belle said, "I reccomend you talk to someone about your problems so they don't get out of control."

Rough Rider ignored her, "Bitch, I don't need your pity. Just help me with geometry."

Trixie asked, "So Rough Rider had been bullied like Twilight had?"

Belle said, "Sadly, yes. He had no friends to defend him and his parents ignored him. He had so much pain bottled up inside of him, he exploded and lashed out on other girls."

Coco asked, "What happened the night he attempted to rape you?"

"It was a warm Saturday evening.” Belle said, “I was helping Rough Rider study for his student government test and his parents were out of the house. I invited my then-boyfriend Beast Tamer over so he could hopefully talk to Rough Rider about his problems."

In the flashback, Belle Rose pointed her arm to Beast Tamer, "Rough Rider, this is my boyfriend Beast Tamer. " she said, "He's a legal adult like me. Hopefully, he'll be able to talk to you about your problems and hopefully make things easier for you."

"Whatever."

Belle Rose continued, "Throughout the night, Beast Tamer tried to get him to talk to him about his problems but he refused. At one point, Beast Tamer had to make a phone call to his roommate saying he'd be out late so it was just the two of us alone."

Belle sat down on the couch next to Rough Rider, "So, have you learned anything from our tutoring?"

Rough Rider threw his textbook to the floor, "The tutoring sucks! No matter how hard I learn from you I always fail! You said you were a good tutor but you're not!"

He got up and began backing Belle against the wall.

"What are you doing?"

Rough Rider unzipped his jeans, "There's only one thing I learned in the tutoring sessions. You are a hot chick and I wanna do you so I can be a man."

He leaned into Belle.

"STOP IT!"

"Bitch, you're not my mother."

Belle narrarated, "But before he could actually rape me, Beast Tamer came into the house and saw everything."

In the flashback, Beast Tamer saw the pair and yelled, "Get your hands off of her!"

Belle ran into Beast Tamer's arms.

Rough Rider said, "I was just making her dreams of being a successful tutor come true."

"By trying to rape her? You are sick! I'm calling the police!"

Belle added, "And I'm telling your parents about what you did so you'll be in huge trouble!"

Rough Rider bolted upstairs, "I'll never listen to you! I'll never listen to anyone!" He yelled, "I can rape anyone I want! I don't care about the reprecussions!"

He slammed his door in a fit of rage.

In the present day, Belle Rose narrarated, "After that night, I left Rough Rider's house and never looked back. I heard a few weeks later that he had dropped out of school and ran away from home. He's been doing what he's been doing ever since."

Trixie said, "And he's sneaky, so it's very hard to report him."

Coco said, "We need to work together if we want to put him to justice. Tomorrow afternoon, I want Trixie and her friends come over to my house so they can hear something very important."

"Why?"

"You'll see."
