"Yes, I am here from a job interview with Walt Longmire."

"And your name is"

"Ruby's do you not recognize me, I used to come in here with Cady Longmire when the two of us were in first through twelfth grade?"

Ruby takes a closer look at the young lady that is standing in front of her desk with a folder in her right hand and a black purse on her left shoulder. Ruby takes in the two fading black eyes and fading bruises on both sides of her jaw, then realize that the young lady who is standing in front of her desk is Samantha Cheyenne Caldwell, who was Cady childhood best-friend. Ruby then notices that Samantha's is not wearing her engagement ring or wedding band on her left ring finger.

"Samantha's it's been a very long time since you stop by and did that husband of your give you the black eyes and bruise on your jaw or did a suspect give you the black eyes and bruises on your jaw? Also, Walt is not in yet, but he should be in soon because he called a few minutes ago and was at the Busy Bee picking up breakfast for him and you to eat during the interview."

"That is fine, did Walt get a cell phone? And yes my husband is the person that gave me the black eyes and bruises on my jaw, but you already know that because Walt, my father, Dorothy Caldwell (Richard mom) and you were always trying to tell me that Richard was abusive, but I wouldn't listen to any of you."

"No, Walt did not get a cell phone. Dorothy let him use the Busy Bee phone. Did Richard move back to Absaroka with you?"

"No, I left Richard and he is still in Philadelphia, working at the Philadelphia Police Department."

"Sorry to hear that, did you press changes against Richard for beat you up?"

"Yes, this time I did because he put me in the hospital for three weeks."

"That good, lets hope that the report does not disappear, seeing that he works for the Philadelphia Police Department."

"Sure and I got you same breakfast from the Busy Bee, because your father and stepmother called and asked me to get you to eat breakfast, seeing that you skip breakfast this morning."

"I told my father and mother that I would get something to eat between my interview and going to file for a divorce."

Walt then pulls his desk chair out and sits down on the desk chair. At the same time Sam open up the folder that she is carrying and then Sam takes out a resume. Sam walks up to the chairs that are in front of the desk and then walks between the chairs. Sam sits down on the chair that is on the right side if facing the desk and hands Walt her resume. Walt set the resume onto his desk, then take one of the packages of plastic silverware off the top container and set the package of plastic silverware onto his desk.

Walt open up the take out container that is still setting on his desk and then he open up the package of plastic silverware, Walt takes the fork out of the silverware package and start to eat his egg, bacon and toasts. At the same time Sam opens up her package of plastic silverware and then open up the take-out container, which is setting on her lap and she sees that Walt got her two Belgians waffles with strawberry on top. Sam starts to eat the Belgian waffle and sees that Walt is looking over her resume, as he eats. Walt sees that Samantha Caldwell went to the Cheyenne reservation elementary school for preschool and kindergarten and then she switches to Durant elementary school for first through fifth grade followed by Durant junior high school for sixth through eighth grade and then she went to Durant high school. After high school Sam went to Philadelphia University and got a bachelor of science degree from Law and Society in criminology and also a bachelor of science degree in Law Enforcement Leadership, which was a double major. Walt then sees that she had a couple Internships at the Philadelphia police department, while she was earning her bachelor of science degrees. He then looks at Sam's work experience and sees that from December, 31, 1995 through Aug, 12, 1997, Sam worked at Pam's flower shop, during the week and on the weekend's answers the phone at the Cheyenne reservation police station. Walt then sees that from August 20, 1997 through May 12, 2001 Sam worked at Rosie flower shop and nursery. Then Walt notices that since May 19, 2001 until last week when she moved back to Absaroka County, she worked for the Philadelphia police department, in the positions of a police officer and a crime scene investigator.

"I have talk to all of your former bosses and they all said that you are an excelled worker and were great at your jobs, in fact your last boss at the Philadelphia police department said he was sad when you put in your two-week notice in and was sad to loss you as a police office and crime scene investigator, but he told me that you are pregnant!"

"I was sad to put in my two-week notice too, but I needed to put some distance between me and my abusive husband. Yes, I am seven weeks pregnant and since you need to know I am due on Tuesday, November 1, 2011. But I talk to my obgyn that I was seeing in Philadelphia and he said that I can continue to work as a police office and a crime scene investigator. In addition the obgyn said that I can continue to work full duty, but I will have to wear a bulletproof vest under my uniform and he told me that when the bulletproof vest no longer protects me, I will have to be switched to lite duty assignments like office work or collected evidences from a crime scene after the crime scene has been cleared."

"I will not let your pregnancy affect my decisions to hire you. I have several questions that I need to ask you. The first question is why did you choose to apply for a job here and not at the Cheyenne reservation police stations?"

"I apply at both, but the Cheyenne reservation police stations' sheriff told me that he would not hire me, he says it was because they had no open position at the time. But I think he would not hire me, because he is old fashion and think that women should stay at home to raise children, clean house and have babies. Also, there is currently no female police officer's at the Cheyenne reservation police stations, the sheriff is known for only hire male and not hiring females that have apply for a job."

"That what I thought. The second question is, If I hired you as a sheriff deputy and CSI and there is a case that the suspect is from the Cheyenne reservation could you treat them like any other suspect who has committed a crime?"

"Yes, I would treat them like any other suspect who has committed a crime."

"The third question is, will you be willing to respond to burglaries, domestic calls, car accidents, enforce traffic laws, murder scenes, misses person case, arrest and leading a person through the booking process, testify in court, paperwork and patrol the residential or commercial area until you are put on lite duty assignments? Also, will you go back to respond to burglaries, domestic calls, car accidents, enforce traffic laws, murder scenes, misses person case, arrest and leading person through the booking process, testify in court, paperwork and patrol the residential or commercial area when you come back from maternity leave Sam?"

"Yes I will be willing to respond to burglaries, domestic calls, car accidents, enforce traffic laws, murder scenes, misses person case, arrest and leading a person through the booking process, testify in court, paperwork and patrol the residential or commercial area until I am put on lite duty assignments. Yes I will go right back to respond to burglaries, domestic calls, car accidents, enforce traffic laws, murder scenes, miss person cases, arrest and leading a person through the booking process, testify in court, paperwork and patrol the residential or commercial area when I come back from maternity leave Walt."

"Second to last question if I hire you and you are assigned to be on call, will you still be willing to do night call out after the baby comes?"

"Yes, I already talk to my father and mother who say that after the baby is born, if I got a call out at night, I just have to call them and let them know. Then I can drop the baby off at they house on my way to the burglaries, domestic calls, car accidents, et cetera."

"That good to know. The last question is, seeing that you are currently staying at your father home on the reservation until you find a place to live, which is the best phone number to reach you at, is the best number to reach you at your father home phone number or your cellphone number?"

"You can reach me at both right now, if you call my father house and I am not at the house, call my cellphone."

"That is good to know Sam. I have a few more interviews this morning seeing that I am looking to fill two positions, but I should get a hold of you either later today or tomorrow to let you know if you get the job. I do not have any more questions to ask you, so you can leave when you finish eating Sam."

"Thank you."

Sam and Walt continue to eat they breakfast and fill each other in on what has happen in their life since the last time they saw each other, which was at Sam wedding to Richard on Saturday, May 11, 2002. Once they both have finish eating and have caught up, Sam stands up from the chair she was sitting on. She then takes her empty take-out container and the rest of the trash and throw the take-out container and the rest of the trash into the trash can. Sam then grabs her folder and purse and walks out of Walt office. At the same time Walt is looking at Sam application and resume again and comparing her application and resume to the application and resume of the other people that he has interviewed already and to the application of the people that his still has to interview this morning. Meanwhile, Sam is walking toward the door of the reception area, when someone comes through the door and into the reception area. Ruby looks up and at the same time wave bye to Sam, who is about to leave and then looks at the male who has just walk up to her desk.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes I am here for an interview?"

"And your name is?"

"Archie Ferguson, but everyone calls me Ferg."

"I will let Sheriff Longmire know that you are here, please have sat on the bench."

"Ok and thank you Ruby."

"You are welcome."

Ruby stands up from the desk chair she is sitting on. Ruby then walks over to the door of Walt office to let him know that Archie Ferguson is here for his interview. At the same time Archie Ferguson sits down on the bench. Then he starts to look around the room, as he waits to go back for his interview.
Meanwhile, outside Samantha Caldwell has open the front passengers' door on her suv and is set the folder onto the passenger seat. Sam then picks up another folder, which she is taking with her to the local law firm. A few moments later Sam is walking down the sidewalk toward the local law firm office. A two and half minutes later Sam walks up to the doors of the law firm, she then opens the door on the right if facing the doors and then she walks through the door of the law firm. Sam shut the door and then walks up to the reception desk. At the same time the female receptionist, who has red hair and green eyes look up at Sam.

"Can I help you?

"Yes, I am Samantha Caldwell and I have an appointment to see attorney Cady Longmire."

"I will let Cady Longmire know that you are here, have a seat in the waiting area."

The receptionist pick up the phone and push the button for line number five, which is Cady Longmire phone line and at the same time Sam sits down on the third chair in the waiting area. Two minutes later Cady Longmire walks up to the reception desk and waiting area.

"Samantha Caldwell I am ready to see you now."

Sam stands up and then follows Cady down the hallway and into the second door on the left, which is office number five. Cady walks behind her desk and sits down on her desk chair. At the same time Sam sits down on the chair in front of Cady's desk. Sam then set the folder on the desk and open the folder.

"Why have you come to see me today, Sam?"

"I want to file for divorce from my husband, because of domestic violence. I went to see attorney Kimberly Smith in Philadelphia and she gave me forms and information, then she gave me the name of your law firm and told me to come see you. She also told me that the two of you would work together to file my divorce forms seeing that I was moving back to Absaroka."

"I know Kimberly Smith called me and told me that she was sent you to see me and that I would be hear from you once you got back to Absaroka. Is there anything else I should know Sam?"

"There are three other things that you need to know Cady."

"What do I need to know?"

"That I am seven weeks pregnant with Richard's baby and I am due on Tuesday, November 1, 2011. In addition I want to file for sole custody of the child and last I want him to pay children support."

"Why do you want sole custody of the unborn child?"

"Because I do not think that a baby would be safe in Richard's care."

"That is understandable seeing that the reason you are file for divorce is domestic violence. Do you have any police report or hospital paperwork to prove the domestic violence?"

"Yes."

Sam hands the copy of the police report that detective Victoria Moretti filled out, along with the copy of the reports from the hospital from this last time and all the other time Sam has gone to the ER after Richard beat her up. Sam then hands Cady the forms and information that Kimberly Smith gave her. Sam also hands Cady her tax information, Richard's and her bank statements, income statements, et cetera. Cady looks over the copy of the police report first and then looks over the copy of hospital paperwork for each time Sam went to the ER. On the hospital paperwork for the last visit to the ER, Cady sees that Sam told the ER doctor that she could be pregnant, so the ER doctor ran a pregnancy test, which was positive and then the doctor confirms that Sam was one week pregnant. The doctor then treats Sam for a concussion, crack right and left clavicle, facial fracture, a broken nose and also a bruised jaw. Cady then looks over the information and forms that Kimberly Smith gave to Sam to give to her.

"How did you not loss the unborn baby, seeing that you were only one week pregnant, when Richard beat you up and how long were you in the hospital?"

"The doctor says that I was just luck and the doctor kept me in the hospital for three weeks until I was four weeks into the pregnancy, then the doctor took x-rays of my face and clavicles to make sure the facial fracture, broken nose and crack clavicles were healing up and all the fracture was almost healed. The doctor then did an ultrasound to look at the fetus, placenta and uterus and everything looked good. My doctor released me from the hospital and I went to stay with my cousin Sean Keegan and his wife Vic Moretti until I move back to Absaroka."

"We will get the petition or complaint form, the Affidavit of assets and debts. Along with the affidavit of sole custody filled out, seeing that domestic violence is the reason for filling for divorce from Richard. The reason we are filling this form out now is to let the judge know that you do not want Richard in the baby life. Then I will have you sign the forms and I will also sign the forms too, I will send the forms to the court house in the area of Philadelphia that you and Richard live in to get the divorce proceeded start. But we will hold off on filling out the Child support worksheet seeing that the baby is not born yet."

"Will the judge sign the divorce forms seeing that I am pregnant?"

"It all depends on the judge, some will want to wait until the baby is born and other will sign the forms. But I think that the judge will sign your forms seeing that domestic violence is involved."

Sam and Cady get to work on filling out all the forms and once the forms are filled out both Sam and Cady's sign the forms. Cady then puts the forms into a large manila envelope and closes the envelope. Cady then looks at the piece of paper that Kimberly Smith wrote the judges name and the court house address on. Cady writes the Judge name and address onto the envelope and then writes down her name and office address for the return address. Cady then set the envelope onto the mall scale that is behind her desk to find out how much the envelope weights. Cady puts the right amounted of stamps onto the envelope and then put the envelope onto the pile of mail that needs to be sent out.

"How soon will the forms be sent out Cady?"

"By this afternoon at the latest."

"Thank you."

'You are welcome."

Sam and Cady stand up and then the two of them walk over to the office door. Sam walks out of Cady office and at the same time her cellphone starts to ring. Sam takes her cellphone out of her purse and sees that Walt Longmire is calling her. She hits the on button and put her cellphone up to her right ear.

"Sam Caldwell speaking!"

"It Walt Longmire, I am calling to let you know that you get the job."

"Thank you."

"Stop by the station tomorrow and Ruby will get your measurement for the uniform shirts."

"All right Walt, I will see you tomorrow, bye."

"Bye."

Sam hits the off button on her cellphone and then Sam puts her cellphone into her purse. Sam then walks down the hallway and past the reception desk. A few minute later Sam leaves the law firm and walks to her suv, so she can head back to the reservation and to her father house.
