32 years old,
English,
Married to Nastasha Evans my best friend.
He's a Police Officer was a Traffic Cop but Transfer
to Homcide.
Both due to move over Here. to CSI Los Angeles."
" Thanks Rosie" Says Tripp.
Rosie starts to explain to H about Tasha.
"H There is something you should know Tasha and scott have been bombarded with silent Phone calls, They been stalked. They were hoping to start a new life over here. both had put in for CSI jobs in LA. One of Tasha's Ex boyfriends is to blame, she thought she saw him at the airport when they arrived."
"Whats his name Rosie?" asks H
Eric is listening carefully
"Joesph Blackstock, Ex-army, Ex-cop Knows his way around guns! Part Hispanic part british.
he was Scott's best mate in the army, same regiment until scott took a shine to Tasha and took her as his girlfriend. (cue flash back)
it was tasha who dumped Joe, he was always a bully even in the army. At one point he banned her from seeing her friends, locked her in the house they shared together only letting her go out to work, and then he would drop her off and pick her up.
Scott managed to help her escape one night, Joe had been drinking heavily and forgot to look the front door. Scott had helped him home that night and had witness first hand what he did to tasha. He beat her black and blue all because she was on the phone to me, I heard everything that happen that night. after joe passed out she finished her conversation with me. I told her to pack all her belongs and get over to mine, she did thank god with Scotts help.
Rosie pauses for a moment to catch her breath. Then she continues her story.
Joe had come to and was shouting abuse at me over the phone, I called a couple of colleagues who had witnessed what his temper could be like. They put him a cell for the night to cool down. i didn't work because the next night he drunk even more and come around to my place, broke my front down door.
Tasha and me both ended up in A&E (E.R) that night. I had been seriously stabbed and Tasha had been beaten badly broken ribs, cracked jaw, crushed nose, shoulder discolated. He had left us to die if Scott hadn't come looking for us. I wouldn't have been here today (sniffs trying to hold back tears) I owe my life to Scott. Joe was locked up. But when Eric and me were over in england for my parents funeral my old boss told me that joe had been released from prison on parole.
the four of us was out one night celebrating Scott and Tasha's 1st wedding anniversary. When he appeared drunk he was about to punch Scott if Eric hadn't stepped in. He bascially threaten Scott that next time they meet he would take Scott's life and it looks like he has." Rosie Explains Eric puts his arm around her and kisses her head.
