I had called the local police a week ago because the property had just got annexed and no longer part of unincorporated Crown County. They took my call very seriously and wanted me to call them a half hour before Nick was to arrived and they would have a civil escort until he left the property. But I was so busy with the boys I didn’t, so who called them? The neighbors. Nick?
All the vehicles are now parked. And three Sheriffs approach the house. I watch as Brad literally jumps off the deck and bounces right over to the female Cop. He is now shaking all the Cops hands. I can hear a Cop say, ”Is she here?”
I hold my breath. My legs are crumbling underneath me. Loud and Clear I hear Brad say, ”NO, SIR. She is not here.” I lay on the floor and try to get my breath back. My heart won’t stop pounding. I know Nick wants in the house. It was not enough. He wants everything.
Then my cell starts ringing. I see that it is Trish. I jump to my feet quickly to get the ringer off. I peep out the open window. I open the bedroom closet door . I close it behind me, slowly and in the dark in a whisper. I call Trish back. She wants to bring lunch over for everyone!!! My little old lady neighbor upset that we do not have food (I love her) tells me she is coming over to bring us LUNCH!!!!
”OH….NO, NO, NO, NO. Trish you are so kind and thoughtful, however, I would be in a lot of trouble. Nick is so confrontational that I know if he sees me, it will be trouble.” I explain that there are Sheriffs here. And as soon as it is over I will come over to see you. It took a solid 5 minutes to convince her NOT to come over.
