The addict and the teacherWords: 3852

Amelia slowly approached Charlie. Crouching down to take in the state of Charlie. 'Why are you here Charlie? What's happened?' She couldn't say anything she just motioned for Amelia to follow her inside. Once they got inside Charlie moved out of the way so Amelia could see the body. She gasped loudly and covered her mouth seeing johns dead body lying there surrounded by pools of blood. 'Is he dead?' She asks, Charlie just nods her head not looking away from the body.

'I killed him amelia' Charlie says. Amelia was just pacing back and forth not knowing what to do herself. She was so angry with Charlie but she had to keep it in for now. There was no time for them to be fighting when they had a bigger problem on their hands. 'Start from the beginning Charlie, and don't even think about lying to me' Amelia's says crossing her arms over her chest.

Once Charlie told her the whole story Amelia was even more angry she stormed towards Charlie and slapped her arm harshly. 'YOU BROUGHT OUR CHILD ON YOUR LITTLE STALKING SPREE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??' Charlie stood there shocked 'out of all the things I've just told you. That is what you are annoyed at?' 'Yes that is what I'm annoyed at. John had what was coming from him. Not saying I condone you doing it. But you did what you did to stay alive. But brining our daughter along with you that's not okay'. Amelia says angrily.

'Right let's get back on subject shall we?' Charlie asked standing there with her hands on her hips. As she hasn't just killed a guy and took her daughter on a stake out to plan on killing said dead guy. Amelia's groaned putting her hair in a pony tail. 'Right we need to come up with a story, grab the gun and place it by his hands' Charlie didn't move until Amelia's clapped her hands loudly. 'Move Charlie'. She did as she was told and placed the gun in his hands. They came up with a story and all Charlie had to do was stick to it.

After they set the scene they called the cops. Even though Amelia knew there story was solid it was still really hard to watch Charlie being taken away in handcuffs and shoved into the back of the police car. Amelia followed closely behind the car making her way to the station. They took Charlie to the integration room and un cuffed her. Two female detectives walked in with a file.

'I'm detective Jareau, and this is detective Prentiss. Where here to talk about the killing of Mr John white' Charlie just nodded her head. 'Look we know Mr white was not a nice guy. We have read his file. A lot of people want him dead and you managed that' Prentiss spoke up. 'Look I've told you what happened. He almost killed me. I was not gonna stand by and let him take my life' Charlie spoke getting annoyed. 'It also says here that her abused you for many years is that true?' Prentiss spoke up again. Charlie nodded her head agreeing with them. 'So to anyone else it looks like a revenge murder' Jareau spoke out.

'There was no revenge murder for Christ sake. He held a gun and started beating me with that gun. Before that he almost let a car crush me to death. He was a crazy ass mother fucker'. Charlie spoke feeling good to get that little rant off her chest.

'Look we know it was self defence all the evidence adds up but we just have to make sure we haven't missed anything okay Charlie, you won't be going to prison as we were able to hack into his computer and saw pictures of you and your family on there. It looked like he was stalking you guys. I'd say you got a lucky escape' prentiss says before grabbing the file and standing up. The other detective following her.

'So that's it, I can go?' Charlie questioned. 'Yes Charlie you can go, you have a very angry girlfriend waiting in the reception for you and quite frankly she's starting to scare them. So please take her and go home, have a good night Charlie' Jareau spoke.
