I read and reread the words over and over until it became an endless mantra in my head; my legs gave out under me and I sat heavily on the stairs; I place my hand over my face and close my eyes tightly.

I became light headed and breathing became impossible when horror washed over me like a cold shower of rain.

"Ben, Benji" Ashley's voice was faint and distant; " I know how we can make all this end for good Benji" I feel Ashley cold hands easing my own hands from my face.

"How?" I pant with a bit of hope
"I have told you to do it before I think. Go. To. The. Police Benji" Ashley says as if it the most simplest thing in the world.

I take a deep breath in
"Ash I don't think they will believe me really they wouldn't..."  I was cut by the sound of police sirens.

"How would you know Benji every time I, my mam or dad brought you to the station you would freak out and cry so we would end up taking you home. This time though I am gonna tell them everything I know that led up to today because I am sick and tired of Jack traumatizeing you and hurting you this is the last straw. The cuntbis finally gonna get what he deserves." Ashley face turned red with anger and his fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white as freshley fallen snow.

I stand and answer the door
" hello is this 91 Mayler Crescent post code SA623AW"  a femail police officer asked as she looked as her small black note book
"Yeah" I replied and gesture for her and the male officer behind her to come in.
"And the new reidence at this esablishment here are Benjamin Hughes and Ashley Newman is that correct" she asked professionally .

"Yeah that is us" Ashley says raising his hand slightly
"We recived a call about vandalism being done on this property; are you aware of this" she looked at us both. Ashley looked over to the window and back at the female officer. His voice clipped with impaciantse
" yes we are aware miss the damage made was to our window at the front of the house. It was smashed with this rock" Ashley stands and hands her the large rock and the piece of paper. 
She quickly places them into see to seprate plastect pouches and hands them to the male officer behind.
"I am officer Gwin and this is my partner officer Leigh" officer Gwin says and shows her badge and officer Leigh does the same as he sticks a label on the pouches and places them into a brief case.

"We will need you both to come to the station with us quickly if that's not a problem so we can take your finger prints and individual statements. And hopefully we will be able to identify who did this does any of you have an ideas already that may be useful" officer Gwin looked between looks between me and Ashley expectantly.

Ashley glares at me. "Should I say something. If I did will they believe me I don't have any evidence to prove anything happend" I say in my head; as twidle my thumbs from nerves.
