    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.

    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    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?'
    hear my name
    take a good look

    he looked at me as if trying to gauge the validity of my accusation.

    'i know this is difficult for you anna.'

    bullshit i wanted to scream. how could a guy possible know what it's like?

    'do you want your sister here with you?'

    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.

    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.

    Should I call her now? Damn you weakling, you know that you will not get your work done this way.

    He got up and walked to the phone, grinning and shaking his head.
