I hope you like the story. Keep up the great reviews. Thanks for them!
~*~* Gathering Evidence *~*~
After Roxanne heard about the news she started to do research on child abuse. The hardest part was what would happen to Rachel if her mom was put into jail. Her dad had died when she was little and she didn't have any siblings. If the parents are taken away the options are family and foster homes.
Kevin was trying to be sly by asking if Rachel could stay longer. Since Rachel's mom didn't know that the secret was revealed already she had to act like any normal mom and say yes. If she had said no Kevin might have gotten suspicious. If Rachel could stay evidence gathering would be easier.
"Rachel, how are you feeling?" Ruthie asked
"Better, but I am still scared. I don't think I will ever be the same again." Kevin came in to talk to Rachel
"I am going to explain what is going on and what needs to happen to help you. First, you will have to go down to the station with me tomorrow so that the can take pictures of all of your cuts and bruises as evidence. Also, the hardest part is testifying against your mom in court to help the case. Eventually your mom will know that you told someone and will get mad at you but you can't listen to her. No matter what she says it is not your fault that she hurt you. You didn't do anything wrong. It is her problem. And always remember that I love you and will always be here for you."
"Ditto" Ruthie said
"I love you too, and thank you so much for all of your help."
A lot had happened in one day so Rachel and Ruthie decided to go to bed. Kevin and Roxanne stayed up a little longer to do research and then Roxanne went home.
The next day Rachel's mom left because she had work. When Ruthie woke up she heard Rachel crying. She looked over and saw her with her face buried into the pillow crying. Ruthie got up and sat on Rachel's bed and rubbed her back to comfort her,
"It's ok." Ruthie said
"Ruthie, I'm so scared. What will happen to me next? I am scared to go to the station today. I can't go; it will make my mom go to jail. How could that be the right thing to do?"
"It is Rachel. She hurt you and she shouldn't. Would it help if I went with you to the station with you?"
"You really don't mind?"
"Not at all"
"Thank you, it means so much to me you are my best friend!"
When they went to the station Rachel went into a back room and was told to take her shirt off and lay down on her stomach. Rachel asked If Ruthie could stay with her and the cop said yes. The cop took many pictures of her back and then asked her to roll over and he took pictures of her stomach. He then asked if there were anymore places and she pulled up her shorts to show them her thighs that had bruises on them. She then told the cop that there were no more. They had to stay there for a while and Rachel was asked many questions about her mom and the abusing. When they finally left, Kevin took them to the promenade to get some ice cream. When they got home they received a phone call. The police told Kevin that they had enough evidence to arrest Rachel's mom and were going to do that as soon as possible. After the news they decided it was time to tell the rest of the Camden's about what was going on.
What will the Camden's say? Will they arrest her mom? What will happen to Rachel? PLEASE REVIEW!!!
