As Danni carefully dusted my books I heard a car come up the drive. I expected it to be one of the family though I hadn’t thought too much which one it would be. I carried on with my emails. The doorbell sounded in the distance but Jacquie was there to answer the door and I presumed she did because a few moments there was the sound of an argument and then shrieks. I told Danni to stay where she was and to be ready to call the police.
I made my way towards the noise, it now included Tom’s voice and I heard a male voice say, “Keep out of this old man or you’re going to get hurt.”
“Get oot o’ ma hoose this minute,” I heard Tom shout then as I came into view I saw the games teacher push Tom who staggered backwards and fell. I ran forward.
“Where is he?” he spat at me, his expression looked like he was on some sort of drug, though it might just have been some sort of mania.
“Are you hurt, Daddy?” I asked bending down to him.
“Where’s the boy?”
“Get out before I call the police.”
“You don’t frighten me you abomination. It’s your fault the boy has developed this madness.”
“Is it now? What’s your evidence for that statement?”
It seemed he wasn’t in the mood to be rational. “You turned two boys into girly things–well the wrath of God will fall upon you, you abomination.”
“That’s twice you’ve called me that, if it happens again I shall have to report you for limited vocabulary.”
He laughed. “I’m going to beat you, you little queer until you beg for mercy, and then I’m going beat that poofy son of yours.”
“Oh dear, will you people never learn?”
“Learn what–that if you have your balls cut off it don’t make you a woman?”
I stood up. “Who gives you the authority to enter my house and assault members of my family?”
“The one true god.”
“Did he put it in writing, you know, like when he did the ten commandments?”
“Your blaspheming face will soon be screaming for mercy.”
“Will it now? You don’t know just who I am, do you?”
“Man who pretends to be a woman.”
“Oh dear, wrong answer.”
“Feel the wrath of the one true god,” he shouted stepping closer to me.
“Meet, Samael, Swithinbank, the angel of death.”
I drew down the energy so quickly it made a blue flash, I threw it over Tom and Jacquie to protect them. Swithinbank was close enough now for me to almost smell his body odour. He stepped closer and I could smell him, stale sweat–he obviously hadn’t changed since marching up and down outside Julie’s salon.
“I’m not scared of your tricks, you abomination in the eyes of the one true god.”
“Be gone or face everlasting damnation.” I roared at him in a voice deeper than mine usually is.
He stopped for a moment and I saw a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, then he moved forward and I was just about to hit him with a blast of the blue stuff, which I was aware was capable of knocking him down when something came dashing past me and flew at him.
“Leave my mother alone you pig,” screamed Danny as she threw herself at him hitting him in the face as she did so.
He yelled in pain and grabbed her, throwing her against a wall and yelling obscenities at her, she groaned and lay still, slumped against the wall and I just saw red.
Instead of trying to use the energy to stop him, my desire was not to neutralise him and moreover, to hurt him. “You bastard,” I yelled at him and let fly a kick at his chest, followed by one to his face and a third to his upper body as he recoiled. He was hurt but that didn’t stop me, the fourth kick once again to his face hit him backwards with enough force to propel him through the window in the hallway just as the police came belting up the drive. Swithinbank collapsed bleeding against the broken window as I went to examine Danni, who was badly shaken but otherwise alright.
“Bloody hell, Mummy, that was ace.”
“What’s going on?” yelled a policeman through the broken window, calling to his mate to get an ambulance.
I opened the door and they saw Tom laying on the ground, “Jesus, what happened?” Then the copper saw Danni slumped against the skirting board and Swithinbank groaning as he lay covered in shards of glass where I’d left him.
“That man forced his way in with intent to hurt ma dochter and ma grand-dochter,” said Tom. “He knocked me doon and he threw ma grand dochter agin thae wall.”
“What happened to him?” asked the astonished policeman.
“I’m afraid I defended myself after he assaulted Daddy and Danni.”
“What with, a sledge hammer?”
“Uh–no, I know a few bits of kickboxing.”
“Okay,” he checked on all three of the casualties and Swithinbank was conscious so he sort of arrested him. “I’m going to need statements.”
A second police car arrived with one of the coppers who’d cautioned Swithinbank at the salon. “Oh it’s him and the little transgender kid. Shit, what happened to him?” he asked his colleague.
“The kid’s mother kicked seven bells out of him, she does kickboxing.”
“But he’s half as big as her again.”
“I reckon she was pissed with him, he knocked down her father and her daughter.”
“You know who she is, don’t you?” he asked him.
“No, who?”
“Lady Cameron, the pension killer.”
“Is she? I thought she’d be older?”
Gee thanks.
I helped the paramedic check Daddy and Danni while his colleague assisted by two of the police removed the injured games teacher to their vehicle. He wasn’t as badly hurt as he should have been–I needed to practice more often.
There was talk of arresting me but Daddy and Danni said that Swithinbank had started things and was heading towards me having issued threats and had already injured both of them. They praised my actions saying I might have saved their lives which they felt in fear of.
Neither of them were badly hurt and after Stella and Jacquie who also gave statements, helped me to clean up the mess, we called Maureen to come and board up the window. She was there in half an hour.
Simon had been out with the three girls and came home to see the police leaving and Maureen boarding up the window. “What the hell happened?”
“You’ll have to ask her ladyship, but I get the impression she tried to push somebody through the window without opening it first.”
“I can’t leave you for five minutes, can I?” he said accusingly.
“It’s just as well you did, darling, if he’d tried it on while you were here, you’d have killed him, especially after he knocked Daddy over and threw Danni into the wall. She was magnificent, she called the police and tried to defend me before he hurt her.”
I saw her blushing but with pride. The girls were swarming round the three of us. Simon’s expression went from surprise to anger. When I told him what had happened in more detail he was angry he hadn’t been here, and yes he would have possibly killed the man. So it was just as well he wasn’t present when it all happened.

Why would there have even been talk
of arresting Cathy in this situation? She defended her family and herself against a brute who'd invaded their home while making threats against them and after he'd injured two of the family. Of course we do need to lawyer on the case since he'll probably try to sue Cathy. "She invited me in then she attacked me...." Sure buddy, where are your witnesses?
.... and what was that voice thing?
'.... and what was that voice thing?'
“Meet, Samael, Swithinbank, the angel of death.â€
Samael did apear in earlier chapters
Cathy's got Jason the Barrister on the job already,
“I’m just doing my job.â€
“Funny, that’s what he usually says and he loves his job.â€
Quote from 'BIKE Chapter 2163'
Just after Cathy sent the video of Curry verbaly assulting Danni.
When will they learn Cathy is, Intelligent, Athtletic, Photogenically beautiful and when it comes to all of those she cares for she can be Lethal (both armed and unarmed).
Well worth waiting for Angharad, just gets better and better, although I do miss the visits with Spike.
charges and voice?
well police like to think only THEY are allowed to determine "appropriate force", so in this case it looks like a minor tussle (no lasting injuries to those IN the house) was "over reacted" too.
as to the voice, i am assuming since she invoked the name Samael, and knowing her history with the Goddess, she might have started to channel him, but was disrupted by Danni's attack. just supposition, after all she doesnt believe in the Goddess or any of the angels right?

The UK and self-defence
From what I have been able to figure out, in the UK, you are supposed to dial 999 and then let your assailants beat you to death until the Plod arrive to take you to the morgue. If you attempt to defend yourself you open yourself up for charges against you.
I can't get it.
It just muddies my scuppers that the plod would set about arresting Cathy for self defense. Gee, in the US, I would have to shoot someone, and I'd surely kill them, before I would get arrested.
I work very hard at maintaining a over the top feminine voice and I've become quite good at it, BUT once in a while, when sorely pressed ...

But what about the female office with Andy?
OK, this takes care of one problem, but if you recall, the first potential problem was with the female office who was with Andy when Danni disappeared. What if the HPSCC officer was there because of her instead of Swithinbank? I think the end result will remain the same, only now their are three protagonists rather than two. I have no compassion for any of the three.

Security lapses
Way back 'in the day', they installed all sorts of expensive security stuff to protect against the Russian mobsters, if my memory serves. I guess they don't use it any more.
But I wonder about the knock-on effects of all this.
More and more people are going to become aware of the gender issues in this household.
And, if my admittedly sketchy memory of British Law is accurate, then anything said in court is not 'controlled' in any way, and can be reported.
So Swithinbugger could actually stand up in court and spout all the private details that he and his accomplice have garnered, with no fear of legal recourse.
That would then spread all the news via any of the public who might be in court that day.
Ripples and tsunami, butterfly wings and tornadoes - or, as Cathy has been trying to teach the young 'uns, actions and consequences.
Great job, Angharad - can't wait to see where this will go.

There is control
because a child is involved, so anonymity will prevail, unless the child is actually killed or believed so.

Some People ..
never learn do they ? Swithinbank should have quit whilst he was still free, But no, He felt it his duty to sort out this "abomination" as he called it, Seems he is like many people so full of hate for anything even slightly different that he goes blindly in throwing his weight about, Thankfully he met his match in Cathy and no one was seriously harmed.... Hopefully things will go back to normal pretty quickly... That is unless Curry does not learn by what happened to his bigoted friend and seeks some misguided sort of revenge ..
