I paused, and I took out my phone to call the emergency services. As the call got through, I said, "Hi, I'm here to file a report on domestic violence. The situation is out of hand."
I informed the dispatcher of the address and hung up. Calvin looked viciously mad and angry. He also seemed to be feeling a little agitated, "Why are you interfering? This is none of your business. You think I won't hit you?"
He was not acting like a sane person at all.
I looked at Kelsey and saw that she was calm and no longer terrified. She looked as if she was used to seeing Calvin acting in such erratic ways.
I walked to her and reached out. "It's been a long time. Should I send you to the hospital?"
She cast an apprehensive glance at Calvin then shook her head timidly. She looked at me and said with a smile, "No, I'm fine. Thank you."
Calvin sneered and tucked his hands into his pocket. He looked casual and relaxed. Not an ounce of fear was written on his face over the fact that I've just reported him to the police.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive. Learning about the situation, they arrested Calvin.
I instructed Irvin to ask for the surveillance video from the restaurant's owner for evidence purposes.
Kelsey was also going to be taken in for a written statement. Since I lodged the report, I wasn't able to leave as well.
After everything was settled with the police, it was already one in the afternoon. Looking at the time, I knew that I wouldn't have time to rest before the meeting.
Calvin was detained under the intention of inflicting harm on another person.
Kelsey kept silent all the time. I didn't know what to ask to begin with.
I was worried to leave her just like that. I walked towards her and said, "I don't know what you've been through but here's my number. If there's anything that you need, anything at all, please give me a call. I'll try my best to help you no matter what."
