you’d put out once in awhile! But no— you
act like your legs are fucking glued shut! Why the hell shouldn’t I get some
somewhere else if you’re not gonna give it to me?”
    Annnnd that was the voice of Randy. He was definitely there and
he sounded good and drunk. Mei-Li massaged her temples where a really good
tension headache was trying to take hold. So he and Angry Mom were reenacting
their old, toxic dance all over again. Under the shouting, Mei-Li thought she
could hear crying. Probably Kristin or her little sister, Megan, upset by the
fight.
    This had to stop before it went any
further but Mei-Li knew perfectly well she couldn’t break it up all by
herself—it wasn’t safe. She pulled out her cell phone and punched in Claudia’s
number.
    “Hey, boss lady—remember how you said
you’d back me up if I needed it?”
    Claudia gave a long suffering sigh.
“Seriously Mei-mei? It’s almost nine at night and I was just settling down to
catch up on Gray’s Scandal . I have two juicy episodes all saved up and I
was about to pour myself a big glass of red wine.”
    “Well, there’s plenty of juicy scandal
going on down here at Kristin Hill’s house if it makes you feel any better,” Mei-Li
said dryly. “Randy Dungston is back with a vengeance and he and Angry Mom are
airing their dirty laundry loud enough for everyone in Tampa Heights
to hear it.”
    Claudia was immediately all business.
    “Okay, I’m on my way and I’ll call a squad
car too. He’s breaking the court order to keep him away from the girls so we
can have him hauled away at least for the night.”
    “They might take awhile to get there—this
is Friday night, not exactly one of their down times,” Mei-Li pointed out.
    “They’ll get there, I’ll make sure of it,”
Claudia said grimly. “In the meantime, you just stay in the car with the
windows rolled up and the doors locked. Do not go into that house alone.
Okay?”
    “You don’t have to tell me twice,” Mei-Li
said dryly. “I’ll sit tight and wait for you.”
    “Good. Be there in twenty. Fifteen if
traffic cooperates.”
    “Got it.”
    Mei-Li hung up and turned her attention
back to the scene going on in the little house across the street. The angry
voices had risen from shouts to screams and then she heard the sound of glass
breaking.
    “Stupid cunt,” Randy was shouting.
“Don’t be yelling at me! Like you ain’t never fucked around. I know what you
were doing when I was in County. I know you were fucking
around—spreading your legs for anything with a dick!”
    “No, I swear, Randy…” Angry Mom’s voice
was somewhere between a shriek and a wail. “I never…I never…”
    “Lying bitch!”
    More breaking glass and more shrieking had
Mei-Li on the edge of her seat. She knew it wasn’t safe to go inside and
confront the angry drunk by herself but she also didn’t want to just sit here
and listen to Randy beat the crap out of Angry Mom while Kristin and her sister
witnessed the whole messy scene.
    Then she heard something worse.
    “Not my mommy! You leave my mommy alone!”
The piercing, high pitched voice was unmistakably Kristin’s. Mei-Li could see
her small shadow in the lit front windows rushing at a much bigger form which
had to be Randy.
    “Get back you little bitch!” Randy
grunted as the big shadow grabbed the smaller one. “Or, I swear to God I’ll
slice you up while your fucking ‘mommy’ watches.”
    That was it—Mei-Li knew it was dangerous
but she couldn’t wait any longer. She couldn’t sit in her safe, locked car and
wait for the police while an innocent little girl was maimed and possibly killed.
No matter what happened, she had to go in.
    She was out of her car and across the
street almost before the thoughts finished flashing through her mind. The door
was open and she ran into the house without knocking or calling, holding the
pepper spray straight out in front of her like a gun.
    What she saw when she got to the cramped
