If you'd be so kind as to sit down over there. He pointed to one of my chairs at the dinner table. Someone will be with you shortly.

You will get the chance to tell your story. Just sit down for now.

i didn't want to sit down. i wanted these people out of my place. i wanted that son of a bitch to rot in hell. i started for the front door and felt a hand on my arm. i shrugged it off turning to face whoever it was.
'don't touch me.'
it was one of the police officers.
hear my name

this could be the day
hold my hand

Lady I need you to calm down and sit at the table. I will come and talk to you in a minute. Now please sit down.

I was held to a stand by another policeman who stood and in the doorway and blocked my way out.

I can do that, if you sit down at the table so we can take your statement. So all you need to do is calm down a bit and all will be fine.

i looked at him like he was speaking a language i couldn't understand. i opened my mouth to say something but a voice interrupted.
'let her go sean.'
i turned to see another man a bit more than an arm's length away. he was older. maybe in his mid thirties. i'd never been good at gauging people's ages.
'she's not running away. she just needs some space. let's give it to her. surely we can do that.'
he smiled and the cop named sean backed off.
hear my name

I considered asking if I could make a phone call when Daniel came bursting through the door. Anna? What has happened here? Is she alright? Anna! He stopped shouting when he saw me standing next to that Sean fellow.
Hey Anna are you alright?

before i had a chance to answer, the older cop spoke. he turned to daniel.
'you a friend of anna's?'
he said my name as if asking a question. daniel nodded. and said he lived downstairs.
'then maybe you could take her to your place. i'll come down to speak with anna when i'm finished here.'
he waited for no reply, just taking for granted that what he said would be obeyed. i felt daniel's arm around my shoulder as i watched the cop walk towards my room.

A thought of my sister still being in my bedroom crossed my mind, but I didn't act upon that thought. I don't know why I didn't ask if she could come as well, I guess I just wanted to get out of there. Not that it would have been approved had I asked.

I heard the scratching at the bedroom door, and realized my sister enclosed had lost her voice, and found her nails.

daniel handed me a cup of tea and let me be. he'd heard a lot of the shit that had happened in my place over the past three years. and he knew that i didn't function well when confronted. i just stared into the cup and watched the steam rise, wanting to lose myself in the tiny space.
i was only aware of someone near me when the now cold cup of tea was taken from my hands. i looked up to see the policeman sitting beside me. his knee was almost touching mine. he smiled awkwardly.
'hello anna. my name is mark farrell, can you tell me what happened?'

Shit I didn't want to do this now, I didn't want to do this ever.
What happend is that he raped me, that is what happened.

Rain streaming down the windows outside, and I looked at the weighted leaves for just a few moments.

Rain streaming down the windows outside, and I looked at the weighted leaves for just a few moments.
I couldn't see a way out of this so I just said alright.
Where do you want me to start? Tonight or a week ago? The only real story I can tell you is that he is an asshole that was caught while raping me and my sister saved me from that animal.

With the next question he asked, the one to direct my story, I looked at the corner in the room, the one unlighted by inadequate lamps, and with each word I spoke my eyes travelled up the corner to the ceiling, my story became a sort of frame.

arlo sat at his dining table trying to mark essays. his mind wandered to thoughts of anna. he had all intentions of following her out onto the street and talking with her. but when he saw her with hamish it angered him and he figured it was just best to walk away. reading second year high school essays on william golding's 'lord of the flies' wasn't really what he wanted to be doing. he sighed and stretched his arms above his head.

Could someone do a recap of say the past 10 pages?

I could call her and set things straight. No I must be strong and finish this work, come on boyo make yourself a pot of tea and go do what needs to be done. Call her in the morning.

leaning against the kitchen bench holding a steaming mug of tea, arlo decided to phone anna. he couldn't play the game her way. it didn't make sense to him. and truth be told, he missed her.
