#25. The Trapped Blade Part 2

When I walked into Adams kitchen something was different than before.  When I got there, dirty dishes pocked every surface, amidst trash and leftovers and various junk, but it was all gone.  I looked up and noticed his girlfriend in the room, and just like that he started hitting her.  For no reason at all.  She was screaming, and then I noticed it.  The one thing on any surface in the whole kitchen.  A butcher knife.  Next to me.  He hit her again.  And I flashed back to when he became the first person to say he respected me, and it all came together.  This was a suicide.  I wasn’t gonna be part of it.  I’m not proud of leaving that girl but I turned and left, told the neighbor outside to call the cops, and flagged down a squad-car myself.  If I’d have touched that knife, I’d have killed him.  From what I understand he had a huge turnaround after that, but I wanna bring up how bad it looks to leave the girl, and I get that, but this would have been like their 100th violent incident and she keeps going back to him, and there’s a point when you have to butt out and let the universe be as messed up as it is.
