She knew that everyone would be talking about the incident when she arrived back at work the next morning. She had managed to avoid anyone asking her what happen. She sat at her desk watching everyone work. She was lost in her thoughts when there was loud knock on her office door, "come in" the door opened and Lt. Provenza walked in, "Good morning Captain" She smiled sweetly at her second in command, "What can i do for you Lt?"
"Well do you want them to bring the jackass up from holding or do you want to leave him there until Hobbs gets here?" He's down there screaming and is mad as hell she looked at him for a moment, bring him up and see if wants to revoke his rights, he looked at her "he isn't going to be happy about that you know that right?" "He'll be fine Lt." He started out the door and stopped suddenly, "Uh Captain," she looked up at him, "Yes Lt.,what is it?" You don't have to answer this question, but did you let anyone take pictures of your injuries?" "I know that he didn't have a chance to do anything last night thanks to Flynn intervening ." "I'm talking about the ones from before," she sat and stared at him for a moment, "why yes Lt, i did, he looked at her and nodded as he walked out of her office. He wasn't surprised by that he knew she would follow the rules.
"Well good, because we are going to have to have them to use against jack, she hung her head as he spoke, "yeah i know," she cringed at the thought of everyone seeing the photos. He knew that she was worried about everyone seeing them, it was etched on her face. "Sharon, she looked up at him when he called her name.
"I promise that no one outside of the team will see these photos, "thank you lt, but in order to get a conviction they will have to be shown in court, as much as i would love to just keep them out they unfortunately are evidence now." "But honestly i'm ok with it."
"I just want all of this to be over and done with, he smiled at her, "yeah us too, she looked up to see the team staring at her. He cleared his throat as he turn to face her once again, "Who do you want to talk to him?" she thought about it for a moment, "you had better let Amy and Mike do it." As you know i can't be involved in this part of the process.; And i don't want you or Andy or Julio talking to him. "That would end badly." As he turned the knob on the door he looked back at her, "yes ma'am, "You're the boss" she laughed at his response, "Don't you forget it Lt." they both laughed this time. They had all come a long way since she took over they all respected and loved her, even .
"Amy and Mike," "Captain wants you to handle the interview of the asshole," Amy and mike looked at each other and got up and made their way to the interview room,with the rest of the team in electronics, as they both walked into the room jack looked up at them, "Detective Skyes, , long time no see," They both sat down in silence as they stared at their prime suspect. "What no Sharon?" Mike looked at him, "No, she is the victim in this and she won't be talking to you." he replied without looking at the man before him. "Victim my Ass!" he shouted at the detectives, "She wanted me and she knows it." They both looked at him in amazement, he actually thought that she still wanted him and that he could do whatever he wanted to her. Mike cleared his throat again, "You really are stupid aren't you?" he asked very annoyed, "You assaulted her in her our home, not once but numerous times from what we were told," Jack didn't say anything he knew that he was not going to charm his way out of this one. "Well you have no proof of anything, so you are going to have to let me go at some point he responded back at them.
"Actually jack," We do have proof, he looked up to see mike open a folder as he lay some pictures on the table in front of him, "These are pictures of your wife after you beat her a couple of days ago," not to mention the attempted rape last night." "What the hell, " I DIDN'T attempt to rape her," he shouted, she's fucking lying about all of this! She just wants to get me back from coming home drunk."
Buzz, Julio, Andy and Provenza had all been watching from the electronics room all of them wished they could get their hands on this ass hole and teach him a lesson. Provenza had been watching Andy the entire time and noticed that he was getting slightly aggravated by the whole situation. He finally had enough and stormed out of the electronics room, Provenza following him., "What's wrong Andy?" he looked at his best friend, "why doesn't he just admit that he hurt her and save Sharon from having to go through all of the bullshit of a trial." Hobbs offered a deal, why doesn't the asshole just take it?" They were interrupted by shouts coming from the interview room, they both walked back to find mike forcing jack to the floor and Amy sitting against the wall holding a hand over her eye. "What the hell happen?" Mike looked up at them, He slipped his cuffs and went for Amy hitting her in the eye and mouth." Mike managed to get his cuffs re tighten as Andy knelt down to help Amy who by now was mad as hell, Andy walked Amy out of interview room, as he helped her to her desk, Sharon came out of her office, "Oh my god, what happen?" she placed her hand over her mouth as she looked at her young detective.
Andy turned around, "Jack slipped his cuffs and went for her, she managed to knock him on his ass but not before he got her in the mouth and eye."
She walked over to Amy, "I am so sorry for all of this, I will make sure that he pays for everything that he has done, " i promise you all of this." she made her way toward the interview room. "Sharon, you can't go in there," Andy shouted as she stood in the doorway. She turned and gave him her best Darth Raydor glare, "Just watch me, she stepped in the room. "Mike and Lt, do me a favor and leave NOW!" they both knew better than to argue with her when she took that tone. They both walked around her and out the door, leaving her alone with her husband,. He looked up at her as she stood with her arms crossed across her chest. "Jack this ends now."
"What do you mean this ends now?" she could feel the anger and hurt starting to come to the surface, "Well, i am now filing charges against for the assault on Amy as well as on me." I hope you are enjoying county, you are going to be spending a lot of time there. "I didn't do anything to you Sharon," You wanted it and you know you did," she couldn't even stand to be in the same room with him anymore, she shook her head and walked out of the room leaving him sitting there screaming.
"Lt Tao and Lt. Provenza," Take him back down to lockup and leave him there for the time being, maybe a day or two will make him change his tune." They both looked at each other and back at her, "Yes ma'am."
They walked back to the interview room and brought jack back out, "Well jack you are going back to lock up since you can't seem to keep your hands to yourself," Provenza said smiling to himself. As they walked by Sharon's office jack started screaming again, "Tell them the truth you cold hearted bitch!" You know i never hurt you, she made her way out of her office and into the murder room, as she stared at the pitiful excuse of man in front of her. "Get him the hell out of here," As they drug him out of the room as he continued to scream, "What will our kids think about this?" Once they were out of sight, her mind went to their kids and how they were going to react to this newest development in their father's life. She hoped that they would forgive her for she knew that she had to do.. She was doing this for her sake and for theirs… She just hoped they saw it like she did…
