Chapter 11: Was It A Crime



Chandler and Monica sat together in the police station waiting to talk to Officer Perry. Monica pulled Joey's jacket tighter around her body. She laid her head on Chandler's shoulder. She began to cry softly. "Shh its going to be okay Mon" Chandler whispered kissing her forehead. "I ruined our vacation" she said softly. "No honey you didn't" he said. " None of this was your fault " he added.




Officer Perry walked up to them. "Mr. and Mrs. Bing if you'd come with me please" he told them. Chandler stood up and took Monica's hand helping her up. They followed him to a small office with a desk cluttered with papers, pens, and folders. Monica stared at the desk as she sat down. Chandler smiled he knew what she was thinking. She was thinking how she'd love to clean that desk. "Okay Mr. And Mrs. Bing I need to know exactly what happened in that cave today" Officer Perry said as he sat down in the chair behind the desk.




Monica took a deep breath "Officer Perry I'm afraid this is all my fault" she whispered. "Why do you say that" Officer Perry asked. "Well the guy who got shot his name is Harold Burrows I've known him since high school he was my biology teacher" Monica answered.




Officer Perry was about to reply when his partner walked in. " Lisa what is it" he asked her. She asked to talk to him in private. The two officers stepped out. A few minutes later Officer Perry came back in. "Well I have some news on that Burrows guy" he said looking at Chandler and Monica. "He just died" he told them. Officer Perry sat on the edge of his desk in front of the couple. "Tell me Mr. Bing why I shouldn't charge you with murder" he asked.




Monica gasped. "No please its not his fault its mine" she cried. "He was trying to protect me" she said. "How was it your fault Mrs. Bing, it was your husband I saw holding the murder weapon." Officer Perry replied. "Because when I was in high school Mr. Burrows raped me and then a few days ago at my high school reunion he tried to do it again but Chandler stopped him" she cried.




Rachel and Ross came running into the police station and up to the front desk. "Excuse me I'm looking for Chandler and Monica Bing" Ross said. At that moment Ross felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to face Phoebe. "Pheebs you're okay" he said softly. She nodded "Yeah, Chandler and Mon are in with the police" she whispered. "Where's Joey" Rachel asked. "Did somebody say my name" Joey said walking up next to Rachel. "Joey" Rachel said hugging him tight. She pulled away from him. 'Wait if you two are okay and Chandler and Monica are okay then who got shot" Rachel asked.



"It was Burrows" Joey answered. After Chandler kicked his ass he pulled a gun on him, Monica stepped in front of Chandler and Burrows turned the gun on her" he said. Rachel gasped "Oh my God" she whispered. "Chandler and Burrows fought and Chandler accidentally shot him" Phoebe told them. "Yeah and I just heard Burrows kicked the bucket" Joey added. "Oh no is...is Chandler going to jail" Rachel whispered. "Poor Mon" Ross added.




Officer Perry looked at Monica. "Mrs. Bing that still doesn't explain what happened in that cave tonight" he said. Chandler sighed. "Look that son of a bitch wouldn't leave my wife alone, he attacked her at her high school reunion then he attacked her in that cave" he said. "Look at her clothes, look at the bruises on her face and arms" he added. "He threatened our unborn child, he had a gun in my face and in my pregnant wife's face I wasn't going to just stand there and let him shoot her"



Chandler paused. "I didn't mean to shoot him it was an accident but I won't say I'm sorry because I'm not, that sick bastard deserved to die for all he put Monica through, she's everything to me, she's my reason for living, the love of my life and I wasn't about to let him hurt her or worse take her away from me so I fought for her and if that's a crime then book me" he finished with tears in his eyes as he reached for Monica's hand.




Officer Perry sighed. "Look if it were up to me I'd drop all the charges I myself have a wife and kids and I'd do what ever it took to protect them" he told him. He looked at Chandler and he could see how much he loved his wife. "I'll tell you what let me talk to the district attorney maybe we can get the charges dropped and since your friends can back up your story there's a good chance it will be ruled as self defense" he told them.




Monica smiled a little as she stood up and hugged him. "Thank you Officer Perry" she whispered. He nodded and left the couple alone. They walked out to the waiting area. Ross saw them. Chandler, Monica" he said running over to them. "Are you guys okay Joey told us what happened." he said. Monica hugged her brother. "I'll be okay" she whispered. "Officer Perry went to talk to the district attorney about Chandler's charges" she added. Ross looked at her. "What are you saying he might actually go to jail for shooting the asshole who raped my little sister!" he shouted. "Shh Ross please calm down Officer Perry is trying to get it ruled as self defense and he said the chances are good since Joey and Pheebs backed up my story" Chandler informed him.




Officer Perry approached the group of friends "Mr. and Mrs. Bing" Chandler and Monica turned to face him. "There's a bit of a problem the DA wants to rule it as self defense but there's a third party trying to fight for a murder charge" he told the couple. "What! but who" Monica cried clinging to Chandler. "Mrs. Sheila Burrows" Officer Perry stated. "Who's that his mom" Monica asked. "No his wife" he answered. "Okay wait that son of a bitch was married and he raped my wife and tried to rape her again twice" Chandler spat out. Officer Perry nodded. "Apparently she doesn't believe a word of it and says Mrs. Bing is lying" he told the couple.




Monica started to cry. "Officer Perry please tell me what's going to happen to Chandler please tell me he won't go to jail" she cried. Officer Perry sighed "I'm sorry but the truth is there's a chance that he could" he told her. Monica wrapped her arms around Chandler and sobbed into his chest. Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe all stood in shock.
