on the edge of the coffee table. He pulled me up so hard by my arm that I think he broke it. I was facing him on my knees, trying not to pass out when he placed both hands on my waist and shoved me backwards on the top of the coffee table making it collapse. Once I was on my back, he just started hitting me. Anywhere he could find a place, which because he was on his knees was mostly my ribs and stomach. I was hurting so bad at that point I didn’t have a chance to protect myself, not that it would have helped. I think I passed out after a while and I guess that took some of the fun out of it for him. He was gone when I came to and I crawled in the bathroom because I was afraid that I would pass out again if I tried to stand up.”
    “I didn’t want to call the police,” nodding toward the officers, “it wouldn’t have helped since he is one himself. I was just going to rest and clean up before Sally got home, but Allie got there for lunch. I was hurt much worse than I thought and now there is no way that we can go back because he will make me pay for reporting it. It is always better to ignore it and try to get back to normal, but this time I can’t ignore this. Sally shouldn’t have to see this kind of thing happen.”
    “I just hate that we have to do this. If he just apologizes, that could change everything right?” Officer Long was hoping that they could skip pressing charges and if Megan just let him apologize then everything would be taken care of quietly.
    “From what you have just told us and we have seen the crime scene now, we had a pretty good idea what had happened. An apology won’t work. We have to process this and act like it was a total stranger that broke into your house. You have been assaulted, Ma’am and that comes with some consequences for your husband. We take these kind of things seriously so that it won’t be able to happen again. Since Mike is an officer that will not go well. He knows it is illegal to intentionally harm someone.” Officer Grayson was the one that had spoken up in Megan’s defense while her partner had just stood there not really approving of where this was going.
    “We will go and get this report filed with our boss and see what he and the DA can come up with to charge Mike with.”
    They left Megan and Allie with the lawyer who was ready to help based on the information that Megan had given the officers.
    The lawyer, Mr. Jones immediately saw that Megan would not be able to make any major decisions while she was still conflicted about going back to Mike.
    He directed most of his questions to Allie, “I’m going to say that she is not capable of caring for her child in this condition. That could cause some problems, but since you were the one that she gave permission to pick her child up from school, this should allow Sally to stay with you for the moment. We will have to get some paper work drawn up so that you are the legal caretaker until such a time as her mother is fit to take back those responsibilities.”
    “Considering the evidence that we have gotten from the police officers that went over to the house and the pictures that you took of her condition, we will be asking the DA to go ahead and press charges.”
    “Now, I am taking a petition to the judge for a protective order so the father cannot have custody or come within 500 feet of where either Sally or Megan are residing. Since he is in law enforcement this will make things much more difficult to enforce, but we will recommend to his supervisor over at the Sheriff’s office that he be removed from duty until this is resolved. We have also asked that he turn his gun in since there is reason to believe that he is at risk to commit more violence not only to him-self, but to others as well.”
    “We have an emergency hearing with the Judge in 20 minutes to get this started on Megan’s behalf. I can almost guarantee that he has been informed of this incident by now and is aware of where his wife and
