Discussing Identities

five hours before asylum break in...

Casey Cooke had had quite an eventful evening after Emma Price had arrested her Uncle for attacking her and hitting Casey. 

Once the back up Emma had called on to assist her arrived at their house Emma and Casey had been driven to the station to be given medical attention, not that there was much to take care of anyway. On the ride to the station Casey explained to Emma exactly what her Uncle had been doing to her all these years, she told Emma everything,when he started when she was a young child and how it got worse when she moved in after her father passed away, how John used to call it "playing animals", how he would beat her or burn her skin with cigarette butts if she tried to fight back or hide calling her names like whore or slut whilst marking her skin with abuse or using her for his own sick pleasure. Emma was a good listener, she didn't interrupt or ask any questions and was generally easy to talk to, although the look of shock and evident disgust made it clear she was not liking what she was hearing.

"I'm going to make sure that man never see's another room other than a cell ever again I can promise you that" Emma said through gritted teeth before they pulled up outside the station. Although slightly on edge with the sudden aggression Emma seemed to be struggling to hide Casey was starting to like Emma's company.

After they were cleared from medical they made their way to Emma's office, en route an officer intercepted Emma and talked to her in a low voice, Emma nodded as a huge grin plastered her face she thanked him and carried on back to her office practically running to the large wooden door before unlocking it and striding inside, gesturing for Casey to follow her inside. Emma's office was cosy in a messy sort of way there wasn't much furniture apart from the large mahogany desk in the middle which was littered with files and had a large computer on the left side of it, and three leather chairs which were all around the desk one for Emma and two for guests which were on the opposite side to hers.

"Sorry about the mess, I don't usually get many visitors so I don't always feel the need to keep my office tidy but well I thought it would be nicer to talk in here than one of the questioning rooms" Emma explained tidying up her desk which was full of files on what Casey thought were different people until she read the names. Dennis, Barry, Patricia and Hedwig were the first ones she read before Emma put them to one side, before noticing what Casey was staring at.

"I thought you might recognize some of the names, I'm trying to read up as much about the different identities in Kevin's body so I have a rough idea on what exactly I'm dealing with" Emma explained, Casey thought that was smart, at least she's doing some research before arresting Kevin. 

"What's happening with my Uncle" Casey asked completely changing the subject altogether.

"You might want to sit down for this Casey" Emma said gesturing to one of the seats on the opposite side to her before settling in her own.

Casey sat down in the chair that was surprisingly comfortable before waiting for Emma to continue.

"Good news on that front looks like your uncle just got a life sentence, he didn't even try to deny it just broke down and told them everything, looks like your finally free Casey" Emma said with a smile on her face as Casey sunk into the chair to digest the recent turn of events.

After so many years of torture, suffering and abuse the news seemed too good to be true, to know she was finally free of it was astonishing. She got up and ran into Emma giving her a tight hug which she seemed surprised about to begin with but gladly returned as Casey started tearing up.
