Colin said, “End of
interview,” and gave the time and switched off the camera. “Cody,
thank you for coming forward. I know you would've preferred to keep
this quiet. Lots of rape victims don't want to talk about what's
been done to them. And that's understandable. But your courage will
allow us to catch him, to stop this happening again.” He looked at
Cody waiting for a response. When none came, he said, “I'll fill
out the report form and you can sign it. And I'll send you a copy of
the video. Detectives will be in touch. If you would like to talk
to me again, here's my number.” He passed across a piece of paper
with his name and a mobile number written on it. “Where can we
contact you?”
Cody mumbled something.
“Pardon?”
Cody shouted, “FUCK!
FUCK!” Then more quietly added, “I'm not going to be married
much longer, right? And I don't know where I'll be staying. But
just in case, here's the number,” and he gave his home phone. He'd
never given that to Luigi, and Luigi felt a quick surge of anger when
he remembered that.
Colin turned to look at
Luigi.
“If he needs a place to
stay, he can stay with me.” Luigi's voice was firm. The past was
the past. For now Cody needed support. Later, they would decide
what would happen. He gave his mobile number to the policeman.
