"Hey Dad, I'm so glad you could make it" I say as I greet Dad at the door, we give each other a hug.

"It has been some time since I last saw you sweetheart, I wasn't going to miss this for the world" He says as I let him inside.

"Hey Jamie, great to see you again" Stefan greets as he hand shakes Dad.

"Sorry, work has been busy and gosh, I don't even know where these last few weeks have gone to be honest" I tell Dad.

"It's fine, I've been in the same boat, I've been working on a huge case" He says.

"Oh right, what kind of case is this one?" I ask as we go through to the living-room.

"Can I get you a drink? Alcoholic, non-alcoholic?" Stefan asks.

"Ooh, a beer sounds great, Fosters or whatever you have" Dad requests.

"We have Fosters" Stefan says as he disappears to get him one.

"As you know I'm not allowed to say too much about the case, but this one is a murder" He says.

"Oh right, so you're trying to prove that the person did it, cause no murderer tends to admit it" I assume.

"Actually the opposite, she's admitted to killing her fiance, but it wasn't out of cold blood, for the sake of killing someone" He says.

"Ok, so why did she kill him?" I question a little confused.

"Her terrified 13 year old daughter found the courage to tell her that he'd been sexually abusing her, when she confronted him, he denied it and told her he loved her and wanted everything with her, she went back to her daughter and she told her everything that had happened and that he had even taken pictures of her areas, the woman searched the house and it was clean, until she search the shed which he used as an office, only he went in there, she found over 100 photos of her child, she confronted him again and he came clean, he then tried to strangle her to death in the kitchen, she managed to reach over to a knife and stabbed him twice with it, he bled out until he died" Dad explains. My jaw is hanging open and I can't help feel a little sick, that poor girl and her Mother, they must be terrified after all of that.

"So the man was sexually abusing his step-daughter and attempted to kill her Mother and she killed him" Stefan says, his face full of disgust too.

"Yeah, I guess one good thing is that we managed to talk to the girl and she has helped in every way possible, and told us that he never had sexual intercourse with her, so at least he didn't rape the girl, but nothings to say he wasn't going to, seems like the Mother got to him before he could go that far" Dad says.

"Isn't that like self-defence?" I ask, thinking about the Mother being on trial for murder.

"Self-defence, manslaughter in the way that she didn't mean to kill him, all she wanted to do was confront him and then have him arrested for paedophilia, he was trying to kill her, she has the bruises around her neck, she was in a bad way when emergency services got to her, she even tried to help the man, she wanted him put behind bars, not dead" Dad explains.

"If that was my child, I'd want the guy dead" Stefan says.

"She wanted justice, not blood on her hands, now they're even more terrified that she is about to go to prison, which is why I need to help her even if she gets a fine or a suspended sentence, or even community service, just not jail time, she's not a violent woman, she just wants her family and to be safe and happy" Dad explains.
