"You have the right to remain silent anything you..." The voice of the Police officer faded gradually, replaced by pure silence as Dom watched his baby sister run to her boyfriend. In the span a half an hour Dominic had gone from having a beer with his abuelo after a long day of work to standing over the man who had beat his sister. Slowly sound returned as his abuela began to beg the police officer. " Please don't take my boy dios no please no mi nieto!?" She cried clutching the door frame, tears streamed down her face. Dominic's grandfather stood next to her with his arm around her. "Dom don't worry I will get you the best lawyer I can afford." Dominic's grandfather said with a hint of respect in his voice. Slowly the officers pulled Dominic from his living room out into the warm summer night. Even as his Neighbors stood at their front doors and watched Dominic knew he was screwed, his sister would tell what her boyfriend did, but he still assaulted the guy. He may be charged and maybe convicted of something, but Dominic knew he had broken his nose and knocked out at least three teeth.
