He walked back towards the office door with a heavy heart. He had no idea if he was ready to hear everything else that Ben had to say but there was no way that he couldn't. As a dom he needed to know just how much damage was done to his woman. There was the chance that he'd never be able to live his life as a dom ever again dependant on the damage. He shuddered at the thought but pushed his own needs aside as he thought of how terrified Anna was of Frazer. That decision would wait for another day. Right now his girl needed him to listen to Ben... regardless of the outcome.

Lucas was talking with Ben as Maxon sat at the computer when he walked in. They all looked at him in expectation.

"Still sleeping."

Relief sounded through the air and across their faces. None of them really wanted to go on but for Anna they'd push themselves.

"I've been looking at his employment history. I don't think Anna was his first."

That bombshell exploded like a volcano in the room.

"FUCK!" Ben jumped up. "No fucking way... he did that to someone else... no... fuck... oh god!"

Maxon nodded grimly. "I can see at least one possibility. He was caught having an affair with a student before... fuck, it was the school before Anna's."

"So it was already in his mind to look for another victim..." Lucas' words more a statement than a question.

"What a sick fucker." Damon looked at Maxon "How old?"

"No details given about the girl... but she falls into the right age range because he was there for three years before he was caught out for doing it."

"And the school board just let him teach again?" Ben's voice was furious.

Maxon just nodded. Now he felt like a sick fuck himself for what he was feeling for Red. That was sonething he'd never think of again.

"Look, we need to talk this out before I can't." Ben was beconing emotional and it was only a matter of time before he clammed up.

"Ok. I need to back track a bit. Red noticed that Anna was having trouble making making decisions for herself. So she talked with me about it and I put her to the test. In the morning we'd ask if she wanted to do stuff and she'd be indecisive about whether she should do it or not. After lunch she always gave us an answer. She was spending every lunch hour supposedly on detention with Gregory. She was asking him during that time if she could do whatever we asked her to do. He was clever" Ben laughed sadly "he allowed her to do almost half of what we wanted so it didn't raise suspicion as to what was really happening. He worked on her every chance he got. He started following her to places we'd take her and sitting in the background watching. I remember one time" he gulped "one time I teased her about falling over all the time while we were ice skating" he breathed in deeply "I kept picking her up, obviously having to touch her, and the next day... the next day Anna couldn't walk properly. She told Red that she slid down the stairs after losing her foot hold." He broke off again shaking his head. "I now know that the bruising Red saw was from whip marks to her arse and thighs."

"Fuck." Lucas whispered.

"Holy shit" Maxon exclaimed

"Fucking hell" Damon cursed while grabbing ahold of the desk.

"From then on she retreated into herself further and further. Her weight dropped to the point of starvation and her eyes.. fuck her eyes... they were sunken in and black. She looked like she had black eyes all the time but they weren't. He was too clever for that. Everything he did was where her clothing covered it. Typical abuser style. This went on for months. We wanted to talk with Michael but Anna kept saying that he was out of town, that's just what Gregory told her to tell us..."

"Wait... so he even controlled who she had here at home?" Lucas' look was incredulous to the situation he was hearing about.

Ben nodded. "He controlled everything, and I mean everything that Anna did. I'm not surprised that he was checking what she was doing in the toilet."

"What the fuck? Why?" Damon exclaimed.

"He knew if she was obeying his diet by how... fuck this is sick.. by how soft her shit was."

"You have to be fucking kidding us?" Maxon raged as both Lucas and Damon stood up in shock.

"I wish I was. Fuck I wish I was."

Lucas pulled out his phone and immediately started dialing. His call was answered before the first ring was finished.

"Anything?" He scowled and then snarled "Then keep fucking looking. As soon as you find him call me. Do whatever you want to him but don't kill him. After my brother's finished with him I want the pleasure of slicing his throat."
