RECAP-

The man started to spread Gabriella's legs and he tied on down to each post and the same went with her hands. She struggled some, but that only made the man more aroused.

The next thing he said scared the shit out of Gabriella. "We're all alone and no one can hear us. So stop struggling or I'll make it hurt later." With a devilish smirk he climbed on top of Gabriella and started to fondle her breasts pinching them and grabbing them roughly, enough to leave scratches.

Gabriella closed her eyes and tried desperately to think of something else other then the man on top of her assaulting her body. Tears pooled out of her closed eyes and she felt the man lick them all up which caused more to come down.

"GABRIELLA! GABRIELLA!" Gabriella's eyes opened wide and she cried tears of happiness because there was the voice of the man whom she loved her life. There was Troy Bolton outside of the room trying to get in.

"TROYYYYYY!" Wailed Gabriella loudly which earned her a slap to the mouth and the man whispered a hastened 'shut up stupid whore' in her ear before he dismounted her and yelled back to the door…

"Sorry sir, but there is no Gabriella in here…" He said and Gabriella shook and tried to get up thinking that Troy had left since there was no noise of banging outside of the door.

All of a sudden there were several bangs against the door and the man jumped back in surprise. The door was going to come off of it's hinges!

"Open this god damn door!" Several men yelled and Gabriella breathed a sigh of relief.

Gabriella was crying watching the man struggle to find some kind of weapon in the dark room to defend himself with against several men.

"TROYY!" Gabriella wailed even louder and heard the door crack in half and she looked at the shining light from outside in surprise. Several men started coming in and she felt self conscious! For god sakes she was on a bed naked, they better not look. She recognized a familiar face the ran over to her worry etched in his face.

"Gabi…" His voice sounded hurt. He started to untie all of her limbs that were pinned down hastily and took his FBI jacket off sliding it onto her frail body stroking her hair.

"I'm sorry." Gabriella swallowed and sniffled a little wanting to do something to show her remorse.

"Don't be baby. It's not your fault." Troy smiled sympathetically and gathered her frial body up in his arms and felt a surge of anger towards the man and gratefulness that he had gotten here in time. Otherwise Gabriella would've been raped.

"Sir, we have the suspect apprehended, were taking him back to the station.

"Great." Troy's official voice came in and Gabriella wanted nothing more than to stay inside of him forever in his warm comforting embrace. "I'll just get things…" He glanced down at Gabriella briefly holding her tighter against his chest. "Cleaned up here." He nodded at the man who left the room and Troy and Gabriella found themselves alone.

"What were you thinking Gabriella!?" Troy almost yelled standing up pacing the room furiously. "You could've been killed. Hell, you were about to be raped Gabi!" He shouted and Gabriella shrunk back from his temper clinging to his jacket.

"I'm…" She chocked back a sob. "I'm sorry." Tears ruined her picture perfect face, but troy couldn't imagine her more beautiful than she was then.

"Shh…" He crawled over to her gathering her up in his arms rubbing her face with his hand. "It's okay. We caught the guy. Everything will be alright baby." Troy said kissing her tenderly.

"You, promise?" Gabriella asked quietly.

"I promise." Troy said holding onto her tighter. He was most protective of her innocent side more than anything else. He hated when anyone saw how protective he was of her… he just couldn't help it. It was something in him that made him want to protect her all of the time, especially when they were questioning suspects. The vulgar perverts who came in for questioning always looked at her like she was a piece of meat. It was disgusting and he wanted to punch their lights out. "C'mon lets get you up baby." Troy said helping her up keeping her covered he led her out of the building where FBI agents were currently questioning other suspects in the building. The whole place was flashing with police red and blue lights and Gabriella clung tighter to Troy. Men were looking at her as she walked out of the place with Troy and Gabriella breathed in the polluted night air thankful for her lover.

"Gabriella!" Sam rushed over to her and Gabriella smiled warily and wouldn't let go of Troy when he tried to step away giving the girls time alone, but Sam didn't seem to think anything of it.

"Hey." Gabriella said weakly.

"Thank god you're okay. You had us all really worried. We caught the guy and found Ann. So everything will be fine, thanks to you." Sam said happily and Gabriella sighed. "Your hard work wasn't for nothing."

"Gabi!" Gabriella cringed at that voice and it didn't go unnoticed by Troy. Mark called out going over to her trying to tug her away. "How are feeling? Are you alright? What happened. Lets get you home." He rambled out tugging on her arm but she refused to move.

"QUIT TOUCHING ME." She yelled pulling her arm away from him and leaning into Troy's body. Mark looked at both of them wide eyed and swallowed hard. He swallowed the pain, anger and sadness that washed over him.

"Baby, come home…"

"I said leave me alone!" Gabriella hissed backing farther away and Mark just kept following anger building up inside of him.

"I think you need to leave sir." Troy said stepping in front of Mark.

"Get out of my way! This doesn't concern you." He snarled and Troy saw something flash in his eyes. Something that most criminals had, a greed, or hunger… It was like pure fury and he wasn't about to let his Gabriella go home with this guy.

"It does concern him Mark…" Gabriella stepped in front of Troy her tiny fisted balled and her big round eyes squinted with anger. Mark snapped. Something broke in his eye and Troy reacted to late, before he knew what had happened Gabriella was on the ground holding her stinging red cheek tears threatening to spill over.

"Son of a bitch." Troy charged at Mark knocking him over which started a brawl between the two men. Troy being the bigger stronger man easily pinned Mark to the ground beating the shit out of him giving him multiple wounds.

"Hey break it up!" Danny and Martin yelled separating the men looking back and forth between them from Gabriella clutching her beet red cheek.

"Stay away from her." Troy snarled wiping blood away from his mouth and spiting it on the ground. He helped her up holding Gabi in his arms fearfully cowering away from her husband. Normally she would've stood up to him, but tonight wasn't the best of nights.

"I'll be at the office when you come around Gabi." He said walking away.

"Did he hit you?!" Martin asked turning around and Gabriella just looked to the ground.

"C'mon we'll get you some clothes and you can stay with me." Troy mumbled dragging her off to his car.
