"Emma, what's wrong with you?"; TK looked worriedly at his half-sister, who had pushed her full plate aside without a word.

"Why did you really want to move in with me and Dad?"

The 15-year-old looked sadly at her brother.

"Is this an interrogation now?" But the young fireman shook his head.

"No, I just worry. You're barely eating, you're always hanging around, and this story that you're moving to Austin from one day to the next?"

The 15-year-old moaned annoyed.

"Mom caught me smoking pot. Since you yourself know what it's like to use drugs, I don't have to tell you what that means. "

TK shook his head.

"That's not the real reason. You're hiding something from us."

Emma avoided her brother's gaze, now saying nothing at all.

"Hey,"; TK. gently stroked her arm as she pulled it away.

"Im with you. I don't mean to be rude, but I feel like we're missing something here."

"Are you with the cops now? Have you switched sides?"

"No, but I can tell when others are miserable. "

"I messed up at home, stole Mom's car, secretly smoked pot, and because she thinks I'm bad company, she decided it's Dad's turn to take care of me. "

"Okay,"; TK raised his hands defensively.

"It doesn't make sense. If you want to talk, you know where to find me. I have to go to work now. Dad will be back from his shift in half an hour,"; he said goodbye and grabbed his smartphone before checking on her again and then leaving the living room. Only shortly after the door had fallen into the lock, he dialed Carlo's number. He let it ring several times until the voice of his friend came on.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Carlos, I have a problem. There is something wrong with my sister. Can you do some research for me? I got a bad feeling about this. It's not just their little trips to the clubs. This is more."

The policeman gave him his word.

"Wow, I can't believe this. " Horrified, TK looked at the documents that Carlos had saved on his computer.

"Her stepfather has a history of domestic violence. Emma and her mother aren't the first ones he abused. "

TK stared gloomily at the photos, which showed both his half-sister and her mother badly battered and with several fractures in the face and the rest of the body.

"That's why she's here. Drugs or bad behavior, maybe. Her mom brought her here because she thinks Emma's safe with us"; TK said to himself.

Carlos gave him a grim nod.

"You need to talk to your father. "

"Sure, but that doesn't solve the problem. Emma's mother is still there. " Carlos shook his head.

"Tyler, it's not that simple. "

"But she just has to get out there. She could live with us. " Confidently, Carlos shook his head, looking at his friend with a serious expression.

"Listen. Women who live together with such men for a long time often cannot separate so easily. This is not comprehensible to us, but often there is a certain dependency. " Irritated TK looked at his partner.

"But she knows it's wrong. Otherwise she wouldn't have allowed my sister to move in with us."

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean she's gonna get out of this relationship so easily. You don't want to know how many times I've seen that? Whenever I thought the women were over it, it started all over again. There are things involved that we can only guess at. It's not just about money or love. These women know that men will often follow them anywhere. "

Stunned, TK shook his head. He had expected the least of this.

"My dad's gonna freak out. I can't believe this. Why didn't she tell us?"

"Because she wants to protect her mother. The two have learned that talking about it would be their death sentence. "

TK clenched his fists furiously, which is why Carlos put his hand over his.

"Tyler, promise me to keep calm. We must weigh every step carefully. " TK nodded his head seriously, then he rose abruptly upwards.

"I still have to talk to my father. And it better be as soon as possible. "
