I posted two weeks ago about the very long night that we endured where I called the police in regards to the domestic dispute that was occurring.  The past couple of weeks have been quite a challenge with countless bad looks and comments coming from the male in the couple.  She has remained quiet and guarded in the course of this time.

Today, I walked into my bedroom and heard thumping followed by screaming.  I, again, called the police.  They were here more quickly today (6 minutes) than two weeks ago with a nine minute response time.  Upon the officers arrival, I stepped outside and explained the situation.

The officers were here for close to two hours today.  They still failed to arrest the man responsible for the screaming that came from the apartment above.  However, told him that he was not to return until after she is gone at the beginning of next week.

I did venture upstairs after all was said and done and spoke with her for a short time.  I wasn’t sure if she would be angry with me for calling the police.  Her response was a bit surprising when she thanked me for not just standing by.

I don’t believe that people should ever be subjected to torture of any kind.  I couldn’t stand by and find out some time later than permanent damage or death could have occurred.

She has planned on leaving him and her father will be here on Monday to move her back to Washington.  There definitely is something good out of the situation.
