One Thousand Club
Just as Steven yelled at Dad, cursing possessively over Alice, there was a knock at the door. Dad quickly moved aside, pulling the door open with him. Two officers stood outside, both armed. I thanked the receptionist who had helped me, telling her the police had arrived and hung up. I moved to Alice's side, worried about the beating she had taken. It was a good thing we were going to the hospital today. The hit on her face looked like it would bruise and I wasn't sure how all this was going to affect her pregnancy. Dad told the police that Steven was the intruder here and the officers intervened just in time to protect Dad from a forceful blow. Steven was taken down and handcuffed, Dad ready to press charges. It was no longer up to Alice if her 'boyfriend' was prosecuted, she was a Downing now and under the Downing authority. "C'mon." I said, taking her by the arm with the intention of going to get Mom and driving to the hospital.
