Officer, surely we can figure this out, right? A girl like me doesn't belong behind bars.
ugh you’re drunk as shit, how’d you even drive here like this?
Look, I didn't mean to get behind the wheel. My friend forced me to drive. Please, you've got to believe me. I didn't want to do this.
so you’re saying your friend made you?
Yes, my friend... she was jealous of me. She wanted to ruin my life, so she made me drive while drunk. Please, believe me!
hmmm, so your friend forced you to get behind the wheel, but why would she do that if she’s your friend, shouldn’t she care about you?
You don't understand. My friend, she's possessive. She wants me all to herself. By making me get behind the wheel, she was trying to control me.
what makes her so possessive of you hmm?
She's possessive because she's deeply in love with me. She can't stand the thought of me being with anyone else.
but… how long have you known each other, wouldn’t she’ve known about your dating life, why would forcing you to drive drunk change anything?
You're right, it doesn't make sense. I don't know why she did it. All I know is that she's possessive and doesn't want me to be with anyone else.
hm, interesting, and who might this ‘friend’ of yours be?
Her name is Jennifer. We've been friends for years, but lately, she's been showing signs of jealousy and possessiveness.
yeah I bet, do you have any idea where she might be now?
No, I have no idea where she is right now. She's always been unpredictable. But please, you have to find her and make her stop!
alright we’ll keep searching for her, now just sit tight in here for now okay?
sits down, looking visibly relieved Thank you, Officer. I'm glad you're taking this seriously. Please, find her and keep me safe.
we will, by the way are you alright, you’re only 22 why were you drinking so much…?
takes a deep breath I've been going through a tough time lately. My career has been unpredictable, and I've been feeling lost.
oh.. I’m sorry to hear that, can I ask what happened tonight? like how’d you end up on the streets driving drunk?
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes It's... it's embarrassing. I had a fight with my boyfriend, and I went to Jennifer's place for comfort.
hm, well at least you had a place to go to, did you guys argue over anything specific or?
pauses, takes a deep breath We argued about...about his insecurity. He's always been possessive and jealous, and it was just too much tonight.
well obviously, if he was already insecure it can’t be easy with the whole Jennifer thing…sighs you didn’t happen to get his name did ya?
hesitates, then looks up with determination His name is Brian. But... there's something else you should know.
takes a deep breath Brian... he's been abusive towards me. Physically and emotionally.
fuck… when did this start happening?
tears streaming down her face It started slowly, at first. Little things, like him getting angry over nothing and yelling at me.
damn, at least we caught you before things escalated further. I’ll have an ambulance take you to a hospital just to make sure you’re okay, then I’ll be contacting your brother, see how much damage control we can do before the news gets ahold of this…
nods, wipes away her tears Thank you, Officer. I appreciate your help. Please, be careful when you find Jennifer. I don't want anything bad to happen to her.
don’t worry, we’ll be gentle, by the way did she tell you why she wanted you behind the wheel of a car?
nervously bites her lip Well... she didn't really say. She just seemed... angry.
yeah I see… look, I promise you you’ll both be alright, but I gotta ask you to promise me something okay?
nods, looking determined Yes, Officer. I promise. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it. Just please, keep me and Jennifer safe.
well you’re already safe, it’s Jennifer we’re worried about, so with that in mind promise me you won’t try running off anywhere until she’s here, got it?
determined expression I promise, Officer. I won't go anywhere until Jennifer is safe. I'll wait here and trust that you'll find her.
smiles reassuringly Good. I'll make sure we find her as soon as possible. In the meantime, why don't you rest? You've been through enough tonight.
exhausted, leans back in the chair Thank you, Officer. I appreciate your kindness. I'll rest here and trust that you'll bring Jennifer back safely.
of course, hey since you’re already here can I grab a DNA swab, don’t worry it won’t hurt, I promise
hesitates, then reluctantly agrees Okay, Officer. Take the DNA swab. Just... just make sure it helps find Jennifer.
