PART TWO
A/N: So thank you for sticking with the story now it gets to the heavy part. I haven't really thought of any songs yet for this part, but I do want you to keep in mind the Paramore song All I Wanted. Some of the words are quite apt for a few places in this part. Keep posting the reviews it is what keeps me going with the writing seeing how much people are enjoying it (I must be doing something right eh?!)
Ok enough rambling. A quick recap. So Delphine met Cosima and they both fell in love with each other. Cosima kept the fact that Delphine was her new support worker from her. They broke up, realised that they just couldn't keep away from each other and rekindled the relationship. Cosima's mum has an ulterior motive for trying to cause trouble between Cosima and her support workers (Felix was Cosima's previous one). Delphine got into trouble with her work and decided WTF and went to see Cosima again anyway and the police came and arrested her. (Breathe)
So we catch up with the story now.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Delphine allowed herself to be led away by the two police officers. She heard Cosima calling behind her but she couldn't lift her head up. Her whole body was just on autopilot. She knew that this was a big risk going to see Cosima, but she just had to.
"Watch your head as you get in!" The female officer said as she put her hand on top of Delphine's head to guide her into the car.
"You riding in back or up front with me." The male officer asked.
Delphine for the life of her couldn't remember their names nor did she really want to. In her heart she had done nothing wrong except fall in love. The two officer chattered away quietly in the front of the car, Delphine looked out the window she was petrified. She never expected it all to come to this. All she could see in her mind was Cosima's frightened face as she was led away. Tony had tried to come with her but was told he could meet them at the station. She didn't even know which station she would be taken to. Everything started to blur as the tears started to fall.
"How the fuck could you do this to me!" Cosima screamed down the phone. "You called the fucking police. I didn't think I could hate you anymore than I already did, but you doing this has actually proved me wrong! You are evil!" She continued.
Felix took the phone off her and hung up the call.
"Cos, that is not going to do any good now is it? You need to be strong for Delphine. She is the one getting the rough end of the stick here!" Felix reasoned.
Tony had left just after the police had. He had said that Delphine needed a familiar and friendly face to meet her at the station.
"It isn't her fault though Fee, she shouldn't be there!" Cosima cried into his shoulder.
"I know love, I know. Its shit but we can't do anything right now. We just have to wait for Tony to ring us and let us know what's going on, OK?"
Cosima nodded, she wanted to talk but she was so scared of crying more that she stopped herself.
"OK so who is the lawyer you want to send to her? Please say it's Alison." Felix said trying to cheer Cosima up a little.
"I was thinking Donnie, he looks a bit thick but he is shit hot on this stuff!" Cosima finally said.
"So are you going to make the call or shall i?" Felix suggested.
"I will. I am probably the best person to tell him all the details." Cosima conceded.
"OK while you do that I am going to go outside and have a little smoke, seeing as my joints are already in the garden. You sure know how to pick your girlfriends don't you Cos!"
"I will be out soon, save me some." Cosima pleaded.
"Hurry, I need to get the smell of police off me quick!"
Cosima picked up her phone book and looked for the number she wanted. Taking a few deep breaths she dialled Donnie Hendrix.
Delphine was escorted out of the car and into the station. She was taken to the booking in desk where she answered all the questions asked of her. She was then led to the interview room where she was left. It was sparse just a table and chairs. She was shaking so badly. She wished that she had some cigarettes because she could really do with having one right now.
She was beginning to think that she had been forgotten about when the two officers came back in the room. She watched them as they moved towards the table. The male she thought he had called himself Bell or something, he walked purposely towards her. The female she hung back a little but looked intimidating.
"Hi, I'm Officer DeAngelis. I will be leading this interview. We will be recording it on here." The woman put a small recorder down on the table. "My colleague Officer Bell, he will be writing down everything we say."
Officer Bell showed a small smile, before taking out a pad and a pen and put them on the table also.
"For the purpose of the tape. I am Officer Angela DeAngelis and I am her with Officer Art Bell and the Suspect Delphine Cormier. Ms Cormier has been arrested today on suspicion of having sexual relations with somebody she is paid to care for. Ms Cormier can you confirm that you have been read the Miranda Rights?"
"Yes I have!" Delphine replied in a small voice.
"For the purpose of the tape the time is now 15:28 and the interview has commenced.
So Ms Cormier, can you tell us the nature of your relationship with Cosima Neihaus of 324 Broad Road, London?"
"I was her Support Worker." Delphine replied.
"And when were you employed to be Ms Neihaus' Support Worker?"
"About four months ago, except I didn't know who I would be looking after until the day I went to Cosima's home six weeks later." Delphine explained.
"Whilst you were in Ms Neihaus' home did you engage in any sexual activity with Ms Neihaus?"
"Not until this morning. Unless you count the times before I knew I would be supporting her then yes I did." Delphine spoke honestly.
"From when you started working for DYAD until you went and started working at Ms Neihaus' did you have any information with regards to Ms Neihaus and her needs?"
"No, I was only told that I would be supporting someone with MS. I wasn't given a name or anything until the day before. I have all the emails at home to support this." Delphine could feel herself tearing up.
"Ms Cormier, as you can understand this is a very serious allegation that has been made against you. It could carry a hefty prison sentence if it is deemed that sexual abuse did take place. We just need to know the details of your relationship with Ms Neihaus." Angela explained.
Delphine nodded. She didn't want to tell them anything more in reality because they were her feelings her memories not theirs.
"So Ms Cormier, can you tell us about from when you first met Ms Neihaus until what happened today please. Take as long as you need."
"Well, I went for an interview at DYAD because I had been made redundant from my previous job. I kind of bumped into Cosima as I was coming out of the lift. There was a spark. Cosima took the lead and contacted me first, we met up went out a few times before anything happened. I didn't force her to do anything, everything just happened naturally between us from our first kiss to the first time we slept together. After about 6 weeks I think it was, I went to my first shift and found out it was Cosima I would be supporting. I have some morals so I broke off our relationship and decided that I would continue to work with her. Nothing happened between us until 2 nights ago. We had gone out for the day, decided to stay out. I was off duty so I had a few drinks to relax, Cosima didn't really drink, and we ended up in a hotel where we slept together. We came home the next day I stayed the night in the spare room, Cosima came into the room. We just slept together nothing happened until the morning when Cosima's mum walked in on us. That is everything." Delphine was crying at this point struggling to speak.
"OK Delphine, is it alright for me to call you Delphine?" Art asked gently. Delphine nodded her agreement.
"So what you are telling us is that you did enter into a sexual relationship with Ms Neihaus knowing she was going to be who you were supporting?" Art asked.
"No it wasn't like that at all! I didn't know who she was when we first got together. I told you that!"
"Sorry I didn't explain myself very well. I meant to say when you entered into a sexual relationship with Ms Neihaus 2 nights ago you were fully aware of your position as her support worker?" Art corrected himself.
"Yes!" Delphine answered simply.
"Interview suspended at 17:58" Angela said towards the tape.
"I am going to get a drink would you like anything Delphine? I also want to see where your Lawyer is." Art said.
"Water please." Delphine replied.
Both officers left the room. Delphine started thinking about everything. She would be alright. She had Paul and Beth they would make sure she would be OK. Even though she knew they would make sure she would be alright her mind went to Cosima. Who would make sure that she was alright if she wasn't around? This made her really unhappy thinking about things like this. She now had to think about the consequences because now there was no going back. She had been honest and as open as she had wanted to be with the officers.
After a few minutes Angela came in with her drink.
"I forgot to ask you something. This is off the record. Can you tell me how you know Beth Childs? It's just on your forms when you were brought in you put her as one of your contacts?"
"Beth is an old friend. She has been with my best friend Paul Dierdon for years. We visit each other regularly." Delphine said. "Why may I ask?"
"Oh I used to work with her in Glasgow a few years ago. She was an appropriate adult we used for cases when they were required, she is a lovely girl. I really enjoyed working with her. Is she still a bright spark always laughing and joking around?" Aske Angela.
"Yeah can't tame her for love nor money!" Delphine said simply, she didn't really want to get into a conversation about her friend. She just wanted this to be over and done with already and go home.
A few minutes later Art returned to the room.
"We have been advised not to ask you anymore questions until your representation gets here."
"I do not have representation. I have not had my phone call to do so." Delphine said questioningly.
"Well someone has arranged for a lawyer for you because he is on his way now. His name is Donnie Hendrix and believe me when I say he is good!" Art said.
Delphine then remembered what Cosima had called after her about getting a lawyer for her and she smiled inwardly.
Tony was at the front desk demanding to see Delphine. No one was giving him any answers. He had seen the officers from the house but they didn't acknowledge him when he shouted for their attention.
"What the fuck has a man got to do to get someone to talk to him!" Tony said as he slammed his fist into the desk.
"Well for starters if you carry on behaving like that then you will get yourself arrested and then you will have everyone wanting to talk to you." A voice said behind him.
Tony spun round and looked at the scruffy looking man talking to him.
"I'm guessing you are a friend of Delphine Cormier? I am Donnie Hendrix and I have hired to represent her until this mess is cleared away."
The officer behind the desk acknowledged Donnie and ushered him through to the Interview area and then phoned through to inform Art that he had arrived.
"Don't worry I will have Delphine out of here by the end of the night." Donnie called back to Tony.
Tony pulled out his phone and called Felix.
