Saving Grace (Emmets side)

Emmets side of the story.

Saving Grace

Crystal and Ingrid took there positions around Mi’s body and held her stiller then I could alone even though in reality My brute size and advanced training in control and restraint had had her relatively secure any way.

Even though not as good as Esmee (Baring in mind I am biased) Ingrid was the saving grace of the situation. She did her Job well and was devoted to the clients she looked after every shift and she soon got around to trying to calm down Mi even if it was a little to clinical and by the book.

“Mi we had to restrain you because we can’t let you hurt your self Ok Once you are in better control we will let you go. If you can’t manage that we will have to put you into the ECA.” Ingrid said almost mechanically as if she was reading it off of cue cards from her course. I stand by what I said Ingrid was passionate and caring about her job but she was also new to the job and did things by the book even if they where not always the best option and at the time a threat of ECA to an all ready terrified child was not really the best idea and this showed from Mi’s reaction as her breathing became more rapid and she whined like an injured cat that had just been run over by some git in a sports car and left to die. It truly was heart braking and I wished that I could find the right words inside of me to help but there where none.

“Please…Please!” Mi finally managed to squeak out in a terrified voice form behind her shuddering “I promise I won’t thump the wall any more. I really wont, just please just let me go.”

My reaction was instantaneous if not highly stupid and I immediately let my arms become more lax then I should of around her and after Ingrid giving a silent nod of approval to Crystal and then to me we all let her go completely Leaving Mi to frightened to move shaking and almost destroyed in front of us. What had we really done here? Helped or hindered?
