week later, I was on my lunch break so I went to go get the kids from school to drop them off at Cassidy's. As I arrived at Chassidy's door she answered saying145Please respect copyright.PENANAOKB0p8DhSU
"Oh hey Ari. Hey little ones. Come in"145Please respect copyright.PENANAnH1m8kSxl8
We stepped in and I sat my purse down. Chassidy and I sat down, while Mac went on her phone and Mason played with Trenton, Chassidy's new puppy. We just chatted for a bit.145Please respect copyright.PENANAfqEorKl2vA
"So while I go on this stakeout update me on if they are okay"145Please respect copyright.PENANAErLAO4TnRw
"Okay I know I know"145Please respect copyright.PENANA6qNbhnDosO
"Alright good"145Please respect copyright.PENANArMOovaOKdb
"When are you gonna come pick them up?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAUQGY3TgwAV
"Around 11"145Please respect copyright.PENANAiOwMde3M3H
"Okay"145Please respect copyright.PENANAv8UouPnw4i
"Alright, thank you so much"145Please respect copyright.PENANAQFlkL5RiBd
"No prob I got your back...are you okay. You know with what happened last week?"145Please respect copyright.PENANACsBvSLasQ2
"Yeah I'm fine now"145Please respect copyright.PENANAKDQYfbWRPp
"Good. We'll see you" she said getting up just as I did. I grabbed my police hat and said145Please respect copyright.PENANAKHFxeD8Woh
"Kids Mami's leaving."145Please respect copyright.PENANARtVkudgxch
They stopped what they were doing and came to me and gave me a kiss on my cheek. Then Mason asked me "Mami when are you gonna get us?"145Please respect copyright.PENANA72vrkz3gKj
"I'll be back later tonight Nene. I promise"145Please respect copyright.PENANARahy30ldJI
"Okay mama"145Please respect copyright.PENANAufSgj1iRG5
"Behave"145Please respect copyright.PENANAlaQMFkD2w0
"We will"145Please respect copyright.PENANAbYndOxzLek
"Okay bye yall" I said giving mason a hug the Chassidy a hug before leaving to meet up with my partner Katrina. We had to go on a stakeout to observe our drug dealers and see where he is selling these girls. We had saw him going through a crate near a old broken down warehouse. Then he opened a door that was on the ground covered with a trash can. I told Katrina145Please respect copyright.PENANA8avuAv26hB
"Where the hell he going? Write this down"145Please respect copyright.PENANA1lbDWYrBxF
"Already ahead of you"145Please respect copyright.PENANAsrkhJWecQe
Five minutes later a truck came and the trap door opened. Suddenly my phone buzzed. I looked and saw a message. I opened it. I thought it was Chassidy updating me about the kids.... but I was wrong when I read the from the private number message "Hey princess you miss me?"145Please respect copyright.PENANA26VIu38OkO
I froze as I dropped my phone. Everything around me went blank. I felt Katrina yelling faintly "Marie! Marie! They are coming. Step on it!" I did not move as I grasped onto the armrest. Suddenly I heard 3 gunshots and I started to have a panic attack. I was having multiple flashbacks145Please respect copyright.PENANAmfvhh9klJY
Every hit145Please respect copyright.PENANA0bRIZt53wv
Every punch145Please respect copyright.PENANAYaik1aZdmU
Every kick145Please respect copyright.PENANACLYmEhFc2I
Every derogatory word145Please respect copyright.PENANABJnksuzZFx
Every kiss145Please respect copyright.PENANA3lAtmj8U2z
Everything.....145Please respect copyright.PENANAnLjQvMQbFI
The pain of my healing gunshot wound shot up my arm as if I was reliving that pain again but this time it hurt ten times worse. No no no this can't be happening it can't be him.... how did he find me? When I got back to Chassidy's, she said "Well Mac and mason are sleeping-are you okay?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAKTX6mQ0LHy
"Y-yeah Im fine"145Please respect copyright.PENANAmxliPKfQBr
"Are you sure?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAYhiYagTeB8
"Yeah...look I'm really tired can we talk tomorrow?"145Please respect copyright.PENANArk7UsaVLrH
"Yeah sure"145Please respect copyright.PENANAYqcNh1FBOs
I couldn't tell her he was back she was going to kill him. I wanted to make him go away myself. Maybe if I did that I can fix it. When I got the kids up to their rooms, I kissed them goodnight then headed to my room to take off my uniform to headed into the bathroom. I turned on the warm water and just stood in there crying. I haven't done this in so long.145Please respect copyright.PENANARnOI9AZLz1
I haven't cried this long since the first night in that motel. Lord why now can you please make him go away! I was just doing okay. Why do he have to come back into my life!? When I woke up the next morning I checked my phone and saw that I had six new messages. I opened them and every one of them were from this private number.145Please respect copyright.PENANA75T67FVo9J
"Nena are you going to answer me?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ECjGh0h7
"I miss you"145Please respect copyright.PENANAz7LgqOgreV
"You better not be seeing another man you hear me?!"145Please respect copyright.PENANAFZYFWwwabf
"You thought you can get away from me but I got people watching you Officer Lovato"145Please respect copyright.PENANAw11SE6pjOc
"I will get you back rather you like it or not"145Please respect copyright.PENANAaHURzDMxor
"When I fuckin see you I will kill you"145Please respect copyright.PENANAi7z0zmor3T
My hands started to shake just as I threw my phone on the floor. I held myself as I started to cry. I didn't want my day to start like this. Suddenly there was a knock at my bedroom door. I wiped my tears before I got up, picking up my phone as I opened the door. I saw Mason at the door as he looked up to me asking "Mami are you okay?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAwexiuQyzEp
"Yeah I'm fine...what are you doing up at five in the morning Nene?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAqeaNcpaaWS
"I had a bad dream"145Please respect copyright.PENANAujRbWmI6Qe
"You want to tell me about this bad dream?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAts8c7NobUe
"Yeah"145Please respect copyright.PENANA3jdR3i6NVU
"Come in and sit on Mama's lap" I said before he did so. I wiped his tears before he told me. "I had a dream about you and daddy.... I saw him hitting you and he hurt you bad and I tried to wake you up but you didn't say nothing. That's when I woke up" he started crying as he told me. I never knew that he knew what Scott did to me. I wiped his tears then hugged him. "Sweetheart it will be okay. It was just a nightmare. Mami is here and I'm okay"145Please respect copyright.PENANASK26Dc7RRk
"Okay"145Please respect copyright.PENANATRM5dMFnLh
"Now go get dressed then if you want you can go back to sleep or play with your toys"145Please respect copyright.PENANAt9TqY633lL
"Okay. Love you Mama"145Please respect copyright.PENANAdP2hWVmy4u
"I love you too" I said kissing his cheek before he got off my lap and headed back to his room. I closed the door and took a deep breath before I got my Onex police uniform out. I grabbed a towel and undergarments before going to the bathroom. I didn't talk my phone because I didn't want to deal with this asshole again.145Please respect copyright.PENANAMOnuedlwRA
As I waited for the water to warm up I stepped down to nothing then I took off my bandage to clean the wound. It was getting better now it's almost done healing. Although it has a big ass bullet sized scar on my palm. By the time I got done sanitizing it and putting ointment on it I got in the shower. I was careful not to wet my hand so I kept it raised on the wall as I washed up.145Please respect copyright.PENANAzCn4Ytttbt
The warm water hitting my face and streaming down my body, felt amazing. When I was done washing up I wrapped myself with the towel and headed back to my room. On the way there I saw that mason fell asleep with his toy Rex. He looked like an angel. After I had gotten into my room and closed the door I had put on my undergarments then my police uniform. Then I put my hair in a low bun before putting on my hat. I checked my phone for notifications I had one from that private number (Scott) again. I went to wake up Mac and mason for school. While Mac got ready Mason came downstairs with me. I put on Disney Junior for him while I packed my lunch and ate my breakfast. When I dropped my kids off to school, I headed to work afterwards. I arrived one time at seven. Just as I was going to sit down at my desk the chief called me to his office aloud. I went straight to his office and asked "Yes Chief?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Z6hHkOSY
"Are you aware of what happened yesterday night?" he asked getting to the point.145Please respect copyright.PENANAAJbm8XWShA
"I can explain-"145Please respect copyright.PENANALHF4rZghB3
"No need to Cortez, I know what's been going on" he said cutting me off.145Please respect copyright.PENANAZu2nsdQkvq
"W-what do you mean?" I sucked in every breath I had being prepared to hear him spill the truth.145Please respect copyright.PENANAfUzEKBmmQo
"Cortez, I have report of everything and I listened to the audio in the car. You were having a panic attack once you heard gunfire. The job can do that" I exhaled and chuckled a little in relieve and nervousness as I said "Yeah ha you're right. But I swear it won't happen again-"145Please respect copyright.PENANAQyeG6DOgc5
"And I'll be sure of it I want you to take a little break" he said cutting me off.145Please respect copyright.PENANAcavIkjRHyN
"But sir we caught the bad guy."145Please respect copyright.PENANAcfB9ysPjNW
"But thanks to you he almost got away because you were screaming 'no'. Therefore, forcing Martinez to fire at our perp. He was the only one with information about where the rest of these girls were hiding and now we have no damn clue! You know what. What I want you to do is straighten your ass up Cortez or its desk duty"145Please respect copyright.PENANARC73SqNF25
"But I-"145Please respect copyright.PENANAvDyW5H3KGo
"Matter of fact why don't you take a break. Then when you come back I will think about putting you on the fields again"145Please respect copyright.PENANAEtXArS7gBt
"But if you just let me explain!"145Please respect copyright.PENANAGqZ5z7lK2k
"Explain what?!"145Please respect copyright.PENANADkV7YBcJyi
I couldn't tell him about Scott....no one knows about Scott...do he?145Please respect copyright.PENANAU9JGdGyIJS
"You know what. Nothing"145Please respect copyright.PENANA9fOAJbZX8B
"No tell me"145Please respect copyright.PENANA4zdBnYX0e3
"It's nothing I said!"145Please respect copyright.PENANAuRT073jV3L
"What is it? Your kids? Friends? Your love life? Your ex? -" I didn't know what came over me but my hand went across his left cheek. A second after I had realized what I have done I immediately said "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I don't mean to-"145Please respect copyright.PENANAnC7xVRjVFt
With his hand on his cheek and a angered facial expression he said145Please respect copyright.PENANAkQkswaTmMe
"I think it's best if you'd hand in your badge now"145Please respect copyright.PENANAFFEsdDkRQo
"No I-"145Please respect copyright.PENANAgPPzPP0aOT
"Now !" he said in an angered tone. Before I can have another panic attack full of flashbacks I gave him my badge and left the room running to the bathroom. On my way home had a call from Chassidy she asked me "Important question.... did you happen to take the kids out of school early?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAoizVkiD50N
"What no what do you mean?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYhbzHQyA
"Well I went to drop off mason's toy and Mr. Polanski said that they were taken out early."145Please respect copyright.PENANA0tevgWYqHS
"Chassidy, call 911 Now!"
