She nodded.“Which bank are you going to recommend?”
He smiled.“You are very smart.Van Housen has your account set up and is just waiting for your biometrics to complete the process and do the transfers.”
Samsor snorted.“How did you get her in there?”
“No idea, but it is always the place that I begin if I have a high-security needs client.”
Em asked, “What does that mean, exactly?”
“It means that the money is watched and under your control at all times.”
“Nice.That feels...nice.I don’t know how much is left, though, but maybe I can buy some clothing.”
Echel chuckled.“There is enough for a few pairs of jeans, Em.Don’t worry.”
Samsor nodded.“There is enough.”
They went and spoke to the prosecutor, who said, “We have the file, and your records are...extensive.Good for us, bad for them.”
She went through a deposition, and her description of the events was to the point where she could verify them.Then, Samsor and Duran wrote down their descriptions of the attacks in hospital that never made it into her room.
The financial abuse was also recorded with Echel’s contribution, and the guys had to be sent outside while she used the original phone and linked to the video that she had linked in her room, and she sent him the files of beating after beating.
“How...why didn’t you report this?”He looked ill.
She looked at him.“I did.May I?”
He nodded, and Em took Samsor’s report, and she calmly started to flip through emergency reports, images from police stations, and images from hospitals and urgent care centres.“I did.They got there.Tracked my phone, probably, and bodily hauled me out while I was screaming in pain.Since Samsor got you the stills, he can probably get you the video, or you can get it with a subpoena.All the dates and times are in the file.I tried to get help.I really tried.”She sat, and big, fat tears crept down her cheeks.
He blinked and said, “Which should I call?”
“Echel or Samsor.Duran’s working.”
He paused and grinned.“Sensible.”
He got up and went to the door.Samsor came in and lifted her into a hug.“What happened?”
“He asked why I didn’t report it, and I am just done.”
Samsor said, “Her sibling is a persuader.One of those omegas.She has a maximum influence of about a dozen, right, Em?”
She nodded.“Ten and then the dispersal breaks her concentration.Her field is twenty feet, so as long as you pack the surrounding offices or use someone who has immunity to get their depositions.If you want to have fun, split them up.They fucking hate that.”She chuckled softly.
Samsor smiled.“One thing you may want to know is that Mateo is her half-brother, and Carlos is her father.They have not been involved yet.They didn’t know.”
“Oh, wow.Okay.Right.Noted.”
She heard scribbling on a file.
She smiled and relaxed as Samsor stroked her back.He was good at that.
She looked at the prosecutor.“Do you have anyone here with a thermal camera?”
“I think there is one downstairs.Why?”
“Because my bruises don’t show, but they are hot.They show up on those cameras.Even now.”She leaned into Samsor.“For months.You can see the damage for months.”
“We will have someone come up, or you can go down to the lab.Just a moment.”
