chapter 15 EDDIE
summary: Catherine leaves Eddie, but he won't let her go. As the
cycle of abuse continues, Lindsey's safety is threatened and
Catherine is faced with a tough decision, when her best friend
threatens to take her daughter away...
Brass took a seat at the table and waited for Catherine to come in.
"Where's my lawyer?" was the first thing she said " I won't talk with out her."
Brass sat forward. " I just thought that I would let you know he's not dead."
Catherine sat down " He's not dead." she repeated " I don't understand."
Brass " It's complicated..this rarely ever happens what are the odds it happened to Eddie..When we arrived on scene he wasn't breathing, no one could find a pulse. He was pronounced legally dead. Life's full of surprises."
Catherine shook her head " So What happens now?"
Brass leaned for ward " Do you want your lawyer present?"
Catherine shook her head " What happens now?"
"You and Gil both could be tried for attempted murder. I need to know why you did it. What were you thinking?"
"Does Gil know yet?"
Brass shook his head " Ecklie and an officer are gone to get him now."
Catherine sighed "I kept telling my self if he was dead, then everything would be okay, but I couldn't kill someone like that, I couldn't just kill him. At first I think I wanted to, and then I got there and I never hesitated but I just wanted to scare him,All I wanted for him was to know that I could fight back and that I wasn't going to let him hurt me anymore. and then I saw Gil. Gil was only trying to protect me. "
"Catherine I think we should wait for your lawyer, and the new can get this straight and figure out what to do."
Gil was with Lindsey when they came to arrest him.
"Uncle Gil, when's my mommy coming home, where is she?"
Gil sighed " Lindsey we have to have a long talk about your mommy and your daddy."
Lindsey nodded " Is she dead?" she asked " Did my daddy kill my mommy?"
Gil shook his head " No sweet heart its'..." he trailed off when Ecklie and the officer step into the room.
"Gil" Ecklie walked to them and pushed Lindsey aside " Come with us."
"Uncle Gil what's happening?"
Gil looked at Ecklie and back to the officer " What's going on? Is Catherine okay?"
Ecklie nodded " she fine..and so is Mr. Willows."
The officer came up behind Gil and grabbed his arms.
"You have the right to remain silent..."
