POLICE – Card #1

When the police arrive, Jim acts like a hurt puppy, crying and showing the police the scratch marks, the other woman caused. He tells the police you started the fight. He says that he doesn’t know why you’re so upset and says to the officers, “please help me get some help for her.”

You are crying so hard you can barely talk. Your bruises aren’t going to show for a day or two so there is no physical injury that the police can see. Jim convinces the police you are mentally unstable. No one is arrested.
