The police showed up at the motel fifteen minutes later, the car screeching as it parked anyway. Violence against women is not an easy subject in Lagoon City.
Even more so when it comes to a husband who thinks he has the right to force into his wife just because they are married!
Vera is sitting on the couch in the motel lobby, drinking a glass of sugar water with trembling hands. The chambermaid is still beside her, terribly worried.
The motel manager, a man in his forties, introduces himself to the deputy who appears to be in charge. "Officer, this way! This is the bride, she came in with her newlywed husband and we gave them the keys to room 54. They were happy and beaming. Suddenly we got a complaint from the couple in room 52, who heard screams and noises of aggression. When we went to check, the lady was already leaving the room, screaming for help and with a red face."
The assistant police officer approaches Vera and checks the assault on her face.

"Daughter, I didn't have the heart to tell you because I knew that if I told you, you would break up with Wallace and he would run to Pamela.
