You, Me, and the Kid: A Stefanielle Story

Part 13

And trust me it would be worse than what happened to her today. Well let's change that shall we...

When Stefania finally got home from a long day of work, the one thing she wanted to do was sleep. They didn't have a busy day today. She she just slept. As soon as she laid down in her bed there was a knock on the front door. "O my gosh" she said as she got back up and walked downstairs. When she opened the door there were two men standing there in cop uniform. 'What the hell?' She thought.

She opened the door and one of the officers turned around to the door. "Good Afternoon ma'am." He said. She couldn't be in too much trouble because he said it in a nice tone. But maybe she was? "Good afternoon officer. What can I help you with?" Stef said with a nervous tone in her voice. "I'm officer Dane, this is my partner officer Dempsey we here because we received a call about a violence incident that happened here earlier today."

'Violence? What?' Stefania thought. Then it hit her. It was probably Jessica who made the call after she decided to storm in her home. But she never hit her. All she did was drag her to her car because she was making her late for work. If anything she should have called the cops on her. "Excuse me? I don't recall anything happening." She said. "The victims name is Jessica Capshaw, she has a severe injury to her arm. The doctors are trying everything they can to fix it." Officer Dempsey said.
"What does that have to do with me? She walked into my home unannounced and then made me late for work. All I did was politely drag her out of my home." She said with tears running down her face.

By this time Andi was sitting there in the last step hearing every word that was said. She tried her best to be quiet but there were times where she accidentally let out a breath which was very loud. Stefania turned her head to see the 6 year old sitting there. Eyes fully red and scared. They had never had any encounters like this one so she didn't know what to do. As her mom continue to talk to the officers she ran upstairs and grabbed her moms phone. She didn't know who to call so she just choose Danielle's number. The picture made it pretty obvious who it was and she remembered her from the hiking trail. She quickly called the number, sat by her moms bed, and on the second ring Dani answered.

D.Savre: Hello

She didn't say anything. She couldn't.

D.Savre: Stefania?

Once again no response.

D.Savre: Stefania what's going on?
A.Spampinato: it's not my mom
D.Savre: Alessandra? What's going on? Is everything ok?
A.Spampinato: I'm scared
She said in full tears.
D.Savre: Alessandra why are you scared? What's going on?
A.Spampinato: There are two officers talking to my mom.

Danielle tried to stay calm when really she wanted to freak out but she couldn't risk scaring the little girl even more. "Dani honey what's going on?" Her mom said turning the corner. She held up her index finger letting her mom know that it was an important call going on.

D.Savre: Andi do you why there are two officers talking to your mom?
A.Spampinato: No. They just showed up. I'm scared and my moms scared. What if they take her away?

The little girl was in full on sobs now. She couldn't stay quiet any longer.

D.Savre: ok Andi listen to me. They are not gonna take her away ok? Can you tell where you are in the house?
A.Spampinato: I'm in my moms room.
D.Savre: ok stay right there. I'm driving over to your house now ok?
A.Spampinato: Ok.

"Mom I gotta go." Dani said quickly grabbing her jacket and running towards the door. Her mom nodded as she saw her mom run out the building. She hurried and hopped in her car and drove to Stefania's house. Usually it takes her about 10 minutes to get there but since she was stuck in traffic it took her longer. She was still on the phone with the 6 year old and it had sounded like she had calmed down a bit.
