The whole thing should be routine, the questions by the paramedics and then the detectives. This time she doesn't have to lie for her father, she tells the truth, that he beat her, he abused her, and when he was done he forced her to take a shower and dress. She doesn't know why he left, but she wasn't going to wait for him to get back. This seems to satisfy the questions from the detectives, for now. The physical exam is the worst part of it all, she has to strip down, they take pictures of her bruises and preform a rape kit on her. It's so cold, so clinical, and she feels sick to her stomach as she is dressed in scrubs since they have to bag her clothes for physical evidence.
She should learn by now to bring her own change of clothes.
The questions start getting more intense when they can't find a single reason for why Liam Collins left. No cell phone calls, no credit card activity, nothing. The malfunctioning video doesn't seem to help. But there is no sign of foul play, and if she's so tiny, how could she have killed him by herself?
Salome feels like she's going insane. She just wants to go home.
