Chapter 134: The Savior
Marcella said nothing to the women as the women were so enthusiastic to show her something. She just followed them.
She wondered who Gina was and what it had to do with anything.
They took Marcella on a long walk to this street. Marcella was not used to this street. It looked like an extension of the old Olive Groove. It looked like a typical suburb—three- and four-bedroom houses with a front and back yard, sidewalks, trees, kids playing on the streets, etc.
"I want you to meet Debby," Beatrice said. "There... that one with the red door is~"
As Beatrice was speaking, that red door burst open. That was followed by the loud shout of a woman asking for help. There she had the answer to the question she asked earlier. She had found the sheriff. He was the one manhandling the petite woman who looked no more than twenty years of age.
Marcella noticed the mothers calling their kids inside and within a few seconds, the windows and doors of every house around closed.
The sheriff dragged Debby by the hair and threw her on the driveway. Debby curled into a fetal position. "Get up!" The sheriff shouted and Debby covered her face with her forearms and shook her head.
"I am not going with you..." she mumbled. Her hands were trembling as she knew what would follow after her refusal.
Marcella rushed forward when Beatrice stopped her.
"He’s an animal, Bambi! He would kill you...Debby is his Gina’s sister. Gina is-was his wife. He killed his wife and now wants to take her sister... Please, get help for her, Bambi..." Beatrice begged.
Marcella pressed her lips. She didn’t know what to do. She could understand what happened here. This power-tripping sheriff is terrorizing this woman using his title. He thinks he is the don around here. He probably has connections. No one would touch him because of his title.
As they were hiding behind the tree, she heard thumping noises. She peeked out to see the sheriff kicking the woman on the ground. She was shaking. She couldn’t even scream as she was getting kicked in the chest and face.
