Chapter 15

Sam arrived at the police station half an hour after Hope had been arrested. She looked at her watch; 13.33 and realised that she had been waiting… pacing… waiting for nearly two hours. Her mind was conjuring up all sorts of scenarios as to what could happen to Hope.

She paced the main lobby of the police station and fired out questions to the officer behind the desk.

“If she’s been arrested does that mean she’ll go straight to prison? Will she get bail? If it’s her first offence…” she paced the lobby, “what am I saying it’s all lies. Hope hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Sam stopped with the questions and watched Sarah, Nigel and Paul appearing from the door over toward her left. She marched up to them. “Drop the charges!” She demanded. “If Hope goes to prison for something she hasn’t done I’ll_.”

“What? You’ll what?” Nigel interrupted. “I spent most of my yesterday locked up in a cell for something that I hadn’t done.” Nigel’s face showed the contempt that he felt for her. “That’s it defend the squatters like you always do. Never mind what we… your friends have gone through.”

She watched as Nigel stormed out of the police station.

A few seconds later, Faith walked in as Paul was saying, “You women bang on about how it is that a man thinks only with his dick. What do you think with Sam?”

Great Sam thought. She held up her hands. “Not now Paul.”

Sarah joined in. “Hope doesn’t even know how you feel about her. How would she, she’s too busy being drunk… how much money have you given her_?”

Paul interrupted Sarah, “She’s using you. You’ve got your own business… all that money to keep her in drink. She doesn’t even love you Sam_.”

Sarah interrupted Paul. “Listen to us Sam. We’ve known you for over six years. You’ve only know these squatters for a couple of months and that woman doesn’t even see you! Paul is right. Drink is the only thing that these people care about and she will hurt you_.”

“Enough!” Sam shouted but then lowered her voice before adding, “Can we talk about this later?”

“It’s always later with you,” Sarah said. “Stick it. You made your choice.” She turned to Paul and said. “Come on let’s get out of here.”

Sam remained quiet.

She listened to the sound of the wooden doors banging shut and tried to process the onslaught of words that she had just received.

Faith looked at Sam and saw the tears in her eyes. “Sam is it not?”

“Yes…” Sam wiped away her tears. “Hope told me that your real name isn’t Faith.”

“It is not – but it is the one that best describes the essence of who_.”

“Don’t even go there.” Sam interrupted her. She held her hands up in defeat. “If that’s the name you want to be known as then it’s not for me to question.” And she explained to Faith what she thought her friends had done. “They…” Sam hesitated and nodded toward the station doors, “they are telling the police that Hope hit Sarah with an iron bar.
