(This is all going to be in Harry's point of view so unless otherwise I'll say LOL)
I knocked on Esmae's apartment door, I figured I'd bring her and El some lunch too while I'm taking my lunch break. "Hey, Es. It's just harry..." I checked to see if her door was locked, and it was open so I just walked in.
"Hello?" I said a little louder. And then that's when I hear the little footsteps coming from the hallway.
"Arry! Sometins wrong with mama!" She had dried tears on his face. I have a bad feeling something happened. I crouched down to her height "Hey bug. Where's mommy at in the apartment?" I asked her and she whispered "bedroom."
I looo in the bedroom and shes got bruises on her legs and face and even her arms.
Wes was here.
I grabbed my phone and called my partner officer Tomlinson.
"Hey tommo, I need a medic and some backup at my apartment building asap." I breathed into my phone.
"Alright, everything ok H?" He asked.
"Uh...my neighbor. I think her child's father was here. They fight all the time...uh just get the medic please." I'm starting to panic.
"Harry...you're not talking about-"
"Yes its Esmae and Ella now hurry, please." I barked.
"Is momma gonna have another owwie arry?" El whispered. I crouched down to her level again and moved the hair out of her face. I sighed. "Yeah, she might. We gotta get her checked out by the doctors flower." I said and she started crying so I walked into the living room until louis got here with the medics.
"I want a different daddy arry." She whispered in my ear.
"You probably wont see him for a while baby, I'll find him I promise." I said and kissed her on the head.

After the medic wheeled Esmae out of the apartment I grabbed her car keys and got El's car seat out of her car to put in the patrol car for the time being, until I get my range rover back from the station.
After that we drove back to the station and I took El to my office, she colored for a while until she fell asleep on the little couch I have in my office.
I ser louis knock on the door and walk in and close the door. I put my finger to my mouth and point to El to let him know to be quiet and to let her sleep.
"What have you found on him so far H?" He asked me.
"Well he's had a past with drugs that's for sure. He recently got a speeding ticket in New Jersey and, he was involved in a drug bust like right before Ella was born and then they just charged him with child endangerment and domestic violence. He could face 1-10 with the child endangerment and 3-6 with the domestic. Its up to the judge's discretion on the years really." I said and sighed.
"Look Haz she's fine, I got word from the captain. She should be released in a couple days." He said trying to make me feel better but it definitely didnt.
"That doesn't change the fact that she got attacked when I wasnt around Louis. I'm a god damn police officer for fuck sake and Wes knew it." I argued.
"Wait he knew you were a cop who lived next door?" He questioned.
"Well yeah. That's the first time I'd met Esmae. Her and Wes were arguing in the hallway over Ella. I had just got home from my shift, I was still in uniform and I came out to see what was going on."
"So you're watching her until Esmae is out of the hospital then?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah, Es has never mentioned any other family member or anything. I mean her mum is in the hospital and her dad is in a holding cell for a couple days until his hearing, and I want her to be with someone shes comfortable with not some social worker."
"I dont mean to interrupt but officer styles I have something you might want to see." Maybelle, our computer analyst who can see past things I cant, I asked her to find some more info than the work computer is giving me on Wes. I should've done this ages ago when Es told me Wes hit her.
"Louis can you just sit in here and watch her for a minute please." I asked and walked out with Maybelle.
We walked over to her desk and I saw everything she was looking into and holy fuck.
"Did she know he was a drug lord back in Seattle?" She asked. I just stared at the screen. I was in shock.
"I...I dont know May. She never mentioned it. Or a lot of her past. I mean I've only known her for like a month and a half." I said.
"Well chief wants you to interview her." My coworker Liam interjected.
"What?" I asked.
"Look I know Harry but you're the only one she will probably trust once she wakes up to tell the truth. We need the truth to lock him away. He could get charged for past things as well as long as she just cooperates." He explained.
"I cant do this in front of Ella." I whispered. The last thing I need is for me to have to ask all these questions to Es in front of Ella. I'm gonna need to have Louis watch her in the waiting room.
"Ok. Whenever you're ready Harry." He said and walked into his office.
I'm so sorry this is happening Esmae.
