It was Henry

The alarm was screaming at her to get up, every nine minutes for the past 36 minutes.  She had stayed on the phone with Robert well into the morning hours - not just to feel safe but because they enjoyed each other so much.  He had the softest voice that calmed her.  She was certain that he did not grasp how severe the situation was yet he was willing to do whatever he could to soothe her.

Yesterday had been a rough day.  She had found a new daycare for her son and he started there today.  The place came highly recommended and with the help of the police department she was able to keep this information away from her sons father, Henry.  Finding a daycare was hard enough and she had additional conditions; including she started work at 5 am.

Determined to get through the day she dove into work immediately.  At 5:10 am her phone rang, like it did every morning.  Robert began work at their California facility at 5 am also.  She picked up and could hear something wrong in his voice.  He asked her "have you checked your voicemails yet this morning"?  She has reports that have to be done first thing in the morning and had not checked her messages.  Her stomach was already turning in anticipation of "why" she needed to check her messages.  Robert took a big breath "Babe - Henry left me twelve voicemails last night.  Each message is stronger and more threatening.  I have to report this to our security and they will take action from there.  Please check your messages and do the same.  Call me right back".  She still had the phone to her ear, trying to digest what was happening.  She had one voicemail from Henry and all it said was "see you soon".  She personally felt it was a threat, but no one else would see it that way.  She called Robert back; as they were talking her other line rang - it was Henry.
