I walked to her and reached out. "It's been a long time. Should I send you to the hospital?"

She cast an apprehensive glance at Calvin then shook her head timidly. She looked at me and said with a smile, "No, I'm fine. Thank you."

Calvin sneered and tucked his hands into his pocket. He looked casual and relaxed. Not an ounce of fear was written on his face over the fact that I've just reported him to the police.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive. Learning about the situation, they arrested Calvin.
