Chapter 26
TC is at home, and hears a knock on the door. Louise is at the door, and tells TC that he is under arrest for attacking Jessica. Eve is home as well, and overhears Louise talking to TC. TC tries to get away and resists Louise but ultimately he know he was wrong in harming Jessica. Louise takes him to jail.
Simone and Whitney walk into the Rustle home, and look for their father but can't find him. Eve, their mother tells them the news. "Your father got arrested. He's gone bad.'' The daughters ask why he had been taken to jail, and Eve explained that he had attacked Jessica Bennett but did not know what his reasoning was. Simone and Whitney are outraged and disgusted with their father. "We thought we knew our dad, why would he do something like that? That seems very unlike him!'' Their mother responds by saying, "Yea, I feel the same way you both do. I am very confused and scared. I don't think I can live with the man anymore. I will be filing for divorce as soon as I can.'' Simone and Whitney look at each other, and are shocked with everything that is going on. They know this is going to be really hard.
Eve gives TC divorce papers at the jail, and forces him to sign them. TC looks at Eve and says, "I thought you loved me!" Eve looks away, she is so disturbed by him. She says, "TC, how can I stay with you after what you've done? You have gone bad, and I cannot live with you or be married anymore."
"Okay fine, be that way" TC says, and then mutters "you stupid idiot." Eve does not want to even deal with TC and anything he has to say, so she simply says, "Okay, Bye." She takes the papers and leaves the jail.
