[Transcript Excerpt of Session from the Case File of Jon Morgan]

Bell: Okay, you can continue now.

Jon: Alright. I heard the thud and all. It sounded like something was dropped. My music was too freaking loud. I guess that is one thing that Mom always told me that she was dead right about, I always had the stuff too loud. Only I really could care less about my long-term hearing now. I just wish I would have done it so I could have intervened in some way.

It was when she screamed I knew something was wrong. I had heard Mom scream before. Usually when a roach had wandered into the house. She always hated those things, especially the ones that decided to start flying around the room when she whacked at it with a fly-swatter. But that scream was different. It was the kind that not even the giant bugs in some of those old science fiction movies could make happen. I knew she was hurting. Or was hurt in some way.

I ran out of my room, shouting her name. Calling for her. I think I called Sam too, I’m not sure. I can’t remember that part. My room was upstairs, and I ran down the stairs and she was yelling, screaming for me to run and hide, I didn’t know why, that didn’t make any sense to me. I mean, why in the world would she tell me to go hide? Sometimes part of me wishes that I did.

When I reached the kitchen I saw him. He was tall, his jeans were around his ankles, and he had Mom leaned over the table with a gun to her neck. He was raping her, right there in the kitchen, and he didn’t care that we were in the house. Like we weren’t even there. He didn’t care. He looked at me, and he smiled.

“You want some too, kid?” He said. He had gaps in his teeth, I’d never seen anything like him before. He was grinning, still thrusting, hurting her. Her arms were twisted around her back with his free hand. Her pants were gone, and he didn’t seem to care. I lost the ability to speak then. I couldn’t even move.

That was when Sam showed up. I felt a hand grab by shoulders and pull me back, holding a finger to her lips, telling me to be quiet. She had a level head. She was good that way. I saw she had something in her hand, it was shiny, even in the dark light that was there. I never thought about what it was she really had.

I wish I did.
