The Vigilante Damsel in Distress

Chapter 21

It's been a week.  A week worth of evidence of what a real piece of abusive work the judge is.  Yet the wife wasn't giving us the go to take him down.  We had no clue what she was waiting for but she knows more than us.  It made me weary and untrusting.  I've begun waiting outside of her place just in case.  The guys didn't like that so we'd begun doing it in shifts.  In the middle of the second week is when what the wife was waiting for happened.  It happened to be my shift with North.  We were listening and heard what they were saying.

"I told you no." Mrs. Thomas said.

"You're my wife.  You gave yourself to me.  You are mine to fuck whenever the fuck I fucking want.  Now get on your fucking hands and knees now." Judge Thomas ordered.

We could hear a smack in the background.  I quickly dialed Kevin and told him to get here as son as possible as I was going to be calling 911 and I want him to be the responding officer.  Then I dialed 911.

"Hi, I was walking to my car from my boyfriend's place on Prytania St when I heard screams coming from a mansion on this Street.  The woman sounds absolutely terrified.  Please hurry!" I said in a panic.

"Ok Miss, please calm down.  What's the address?" the 911 operator.

I proceeded to give the address and answer their questions and hung up.

"I said get on your hands and knees bitch." Judge Thomas said followed by another smack.

"And I told you no.  You can spout whatever bullshit you want but you know the law just like I do.  The law clearly states that rape CAN happen between a husband and wife.  Even if you don't believe it you know it's the law.  I will accuse you of rape and abuse if you don't back off." Mrs. Thomas said.

Right then Kevin pulled up with his partner.  North and I were hidden as we watched them storm the mansion and pound on the door.

"Police!  Open up!" Kevin shouted.

"What the fuck.  What did you do bitch?" Judge Thomas asked as his voice got further from the bug as he left the bedroom.

I heard a whispered thank you before silence.  I saw the livid judge open his door only to have his wife rush out with her face looking bloodied from the hits.

"Please help me!  I need protection from him.  He's a judge!  He's been beating me and was about to rape me.  It wouldn't have been the first time he raped me either.  Please." Mrs. Thomas cried out as she collapsed to the ground in tears.

"I've never raped her!" Judge Thomas denied.

"So she what, rammed her own face into a wall?" Kevin asked.

"She was going crazy accusing me of rape and I was trying to calm her-" Judge Thomas began.

"Lies.  I have proof.  I had security installed not known to him.  It's on camera.  I needed it to have him put away and for my divorce." Mrs. Thomas said still sobbing from the ground.

Did she really put up with the abuse waiting for him to attempt to rape her again just to have the evidence of that?  I knew for sure that made her brave but did it also make her stupid to have been treated the way she was just to get this as proof that he's raped her before?  It was a dicey game to play because she didn't know I was nearby to stop it from happening.  If Kevin hadn't been able to get there in time she'd have been raped again if I hadn't been here.  Obviously since I am I would have stopped him if Kevin didn't make it in time.  But yes, not a safe game to play.  We watched as Kevin and his partner arrested the judge.  The paramedics showed up and began treating Mrs. Thomas.  Kevin asked her to stop by in the morning for her statement and to bring the evidence in if possible.  We melted away in the darkness jogging to our apartment complex.
