The police official stood just outside the door as I sat in the small room with Leon George whom was still handcuffed.

He was about 18 years old, African American 6'1, slim, and scared.

When I looked at him sympathy ran threw my body knowing he was about to be charged as an adult.

He had shot his step dad in the head two days after his step dad had attempted to run his mom over. But his step dad survived. He was in critical
Condition, paralyzed, and slowly improving although there was no chance in him fully recovering, no more than learning to talk again.

He was a big guy for his age but he had soft baby features and spoke very educated and mature.

As I performed three test on his of M'Naghten Rule, irresistible impulse, and Durham which were psychological test to diagnose or implicate that he was truly temporarily insane when the murder was attempted, it hit me that my life could have been a lot worse but that every one is dealing with demons.

Leon was being charged as an adult which could lead to him losing his entire life of freedom.

These test were extremely important and essential. That was the one thing I hated about this job, having to deal with cases like this.

I glimpsed at the time noticing Dr.Jones meeting had run way over but I just proceeded on recording my findings.

It took me quite some time to close out the first test and assure he was comfortable before the session came to a closing.

I wrote the results down then walked Leon to the door where he was recuffed like an animal and lead to the front where rick was waiting.

"How did it go?" Rick asked.

"You know I can't disclose that information to
You just yet." I replied without making eye contact.

"Come on Madison it's me... are you serious... what's really the issue?

"Nothing, but I'm not going to lose my job just to give you what you want."

"Well hell I moved my job and nearly lost my wife on account of you."

"Those were all your choices! You know what you are still the selfish man I remembered you as."

Rick paused in his steps inhaling and trying to collect his thoughts while finding the right words.

"What happen to the baby?" He asked as I peered  caught off guard of the topic of discussion.

I turned to rick slowly looking at him for the first time and connecting eyes.

"I lied." I replied telling a lie about the truth I had quickly made the decision not to disclose.

Ricks face turned to one of confusion as he collected his thoughts.

"You lie?" .... "you lied about being pregnant Madison, why would you do such a sick thing?"

"Because I wanted nothing else to do with you and I figured that would do the trick of keeping you away."

"Well you've kept me at bay instead constantly switching your telephone number and moving out of town. I thought maybe you really were pregnant. You really need to re-evaluate yourself maybe that entire Kamron ordeal took a tole on you. You should probably seek counseling."

"I don't need it I'm fine... as you can see."

"Yeah on the outside but you have some twisted things going on in the inside. How could you create such a lie, for years I believed that you could have been pregnant. And constantly it crossed my mind that you just had lied ... and I was right." He chuckled in disbelief shaking his head as I stood there intaking the discussion we were having.

"I'll have Leona room prepared in a moment. This will be a three day process. You are more than welcome to stop by each day. But no test results will be given until the third day after everything's done. I'll collect the paper work for the both of you if you would have a seat please." I replied extending my hand in the direction of the lobby.

"What the hell is .." rick stopped mid sentence withholding back his last words like the grasp of a viper before he turned collecting himself then looking back with a different attitude.

"Madison I need your help." His words uttered in s more submissive manner.

"Help with what?" I questioned trying to make sense of his statement.

"This case.... I need help with this case."

"What are you trying to ask of me?"

"If we could talk for a bit after you're off... please."

I looked at the floor before back up as I prepared my answer replying ... " I'm busy, listen I have to finish this patients intake. Please be seated." I directed walking away as fast as I can knowing Rick eyes were glued on me.

I didn't understand what he could possibly need my help with. Dr.Jones had given me specific instructions on this case and the last thing I needed was to go against them just to appease rick.

I had to remember just who he was and what he had done to me. The anger I had built up
Inside I used to motivate me with strength.

I had never thought this day would come so soon after I had lived so comfortably the last 4 years. In the snap of an eye Things were changing. I didn't awake this morning knowing that both of my rapist would be thrown back into my lives on the same day.

This was all a bad day! I should've known from the start.

It took me a good moment just to process Leon and have him set up in a room for this procedure, but I finally finished.

Rick had left the center during this time spans but reappeared like a timer just as I finished he was approaching my desk.

"Is everything coming along, I've already contacted the jail board and notified he'll be enrolled here for the remainder of the process."

"I'm actually just finishing up, I'll have Nurse Olivia walk him down to his room." I replied as I glimpsed at the time and nearly panicked!

I was an late for Powers Program!

Rick just stood there nodding before pulling out his cell that was ringing. He looked over at me then picked up as he walked off answered, "Yes honey."

I knew it was Angela. I bet she didn't know what kind of monster she had married.

Olivia walked up the hall with Dr.Jones finally bringing pure joy to my panicking heart and took over for me. I had left extensive notes for Dr.Jones which always made her happy and I took off without another word to pick Allure up and head out.

This was the part of being a mother that was hard! Trying to balance it all out and make special events for my kids was very important to me and them!

As I buckled Lo into her car seat I could hear the engine of a car stopping very closely.

Lo grunted because she was in mid nap and I had interrupted it. Something that made her very grumpy, so she began to wine.

"Shhhhh, it's ok Lo you can nap still baby, remember we have to surprise Power." I said softly rubbing her little face as she barely opened her drowsy eyes.

I took a step back once she was secured in and closed the door to be startled half to death by the fact Rick was standing directly behind me!

"What's the hell are you doing!!" I spazzed slinging open my drivers door as he stood there with an expression I couldn't explain.

"Is that my daughter?" He asked in a voice I would never forget. It was low and humble but put so much pressure on me that my heart rate increased because I was so caught off guard.

I paused in my actions as my hand now just stood on the cuff of my door unable to close it.

"No... no she isn't rick." I lied not sure of my words.

"Can I see her?" He asked rejecting my response as if I had said the very opposite.

"She's not yours Rick, no you cannot see my child. Now please move away from my door." I asked in a more demanding tone this time.

Rick clenched his jaws in bitter confusion as he stared at the concrete street in front of his feet and took two steps back after a moment.

I could tell in his eyes that he hadn't believed a single Word I had said and had a bigger scheme in mind that he couldn't act on just yet because it was incomplete .

His body was now out of the way so I shut my door locking it before cranking up to pull off with so much weighing on my mind and chest that is hurt just to think.
