The woman sat in the room watching television waiting for her boyfriend to get home to their cozy little apartment in Silver Spring, MD. The woman turns toward the man. “What are you doing back so early from work?”she said. The woman turned off the television, so she could go in the other room and go to sleep and stay away from the man.  The man goes in the room where the woman was and says to the woman, “I got tired and I left early, o.k.!”  She said, “No!” “That’s not o.k.!” The man started smelling her clothes. “What have you been doing today?” he said. ”Nothing! ” she replied.  The man goes around to the bed where the woman is sleeping and slaps her on her face. The woman starts to panic. And then she has a panic attack! “Where were you!” he said.”In his harsh sounding tone”.  She first wanted to start crying, then she got angry and got up and went  into the bathroom to find something to defend herself!  She knew it was that time! The man asked her,”What are you doing in the bathroom?” The woman said, “Nothing”! “Nothing at all!” The man said, “You have been sleeping around on me!”  She said,”Look!” “I have not been sleeping around on you !”  “I might have thought about it once or twice, but I never did it.” She talks in her New York City accent. She told him you are a mean person. He told her no you are a sinner. A fornicator. I am not! And with that she sprays some pepper spray on him! The man screams in agony !  He yells and screams! Oh, God my eyes! I can’t see! The woman told him I told you to leave me alone! She calls the police. The police come. They told her the only thing you can do ma’am is leave with your son. The police asked the woman, “Do you have somewhere to go”?  The woman said,” Yes, I do”. The police told her to file a protective order on the man and just leave him alone.   Then, file for custody for your son. And just let him visit your son on the weekends. The woman agreed with the police. She told the police that she would  file the protective order as soon as the courthouse opened up on Monday.  The police said, “Have a good day ma’am.” The woman said wait,”What if I wanted to file a protective order sooner than Monday?” she asked. The policeman turned around and said,” I am sorry, but there is noone to help you with a protective order, until Monday.”
