Chapter 136: Not Giving Up
Marcella joined the women shouting aloud for them to meet the senator. She sat at the back purposefully. Debby was front and center with her wounds bleeding still. Debby was the victim and everyone was asking for justice on her behalf. Marcella asked Debby to sit in the front without even taking her to the hospital to use her for sympathy. Debby was willing to do anything to stop that sheriff from hurting her again.
Marcella’s plan was working out perfectly but it was not just her effort. It was everyone’s protest. She asked the women’s help and they joined her with their whole hearts. She knew they were making a difference.
The other officers she saw earlier causing a commotion in the streets rushed to them as they brought the sheriff to the police precinct. They tried to intimidate them to disperse. They pulled out their weapons but noticing that there were photographers they were forced to retreat. They tried to sneak inside the building to make phone calls but the women blocked them. They went to use the public phones at the end of the street.
Judging by their reaction, she could see that they were panicked.
"They never should have allowed you people to vote," the sheriff grunted.
Marcella turned and smirked at him. "Be prepared to lose everything," she smiled.
"What can you do? Just because a bunch of you are shouting, do you think age-old practices would be banned? Who do you think you are?" he asked.
"Wait and see," Marcella smiled. "Aren’t you already scared?" she asked. He was using expletives non-stop when he was with Debby, now that he had sobered up and saw what was going on around, she could see fear in his eyes and he was using his words sparingly. Not a single expletive escaped his mouth even though he was pissed off.
"You cannot tie me like a dog," he said.
"Why?" Marcella sneered. "Aren’t we just a bunch of women?"
