Deputy Miller looked at David, then at Elena standing bruised and wet in the kitchen doorway, and finally back at Evelyn. "Mrs. Vance, Mr. Vance has provided us with audio recordings of you threatening Miss Elena," Deputy Miller said gravely.
"Under Illinois law, you are being served with an immediate emergency restraining order and a notice of criminal investigation for extortion and abuse," the deputy added, pulling out steel handcuffs.
