[ sms ] Lt. Silveira ā Its not about me liking a girl, Eve. Its about how every single time a guy like this slips through the hands of the system, which is often, and not just in this city, everywhere, WE are the ones who have to pick up the pieces of all the traumatized girls heās going to leave behind in a heap. Not just Whitney and whoever else he plans on hurting next.Ā
[ sms ] Lt. Silveira ā And heāll do it. He got away with it once, he knows heāll get away with it again. And heāll do it again, and again, and again, and again.Ā
[ sms ] Lt. Silveira ā And next time, its not going to be an attempted assault, or a girl he gets drunk so she canāt remember enough to testify or press charges. Heāll get bolder and cocky and dangerous.Ā
[ sms ] Lt. Silveira ā So sorry if Iām a little testy and pissed at the police department.Ā
[ sms ] Lt. Silveira ā If you ever wondered why i left, youāre staring at it right in the face.
[ sms: Cross ] ⦠You think I donāt know why you left? You think I havenāt lost shit in my life over sticking here and trying to fight every time something like this goes downs. Biding my time and moving up so I can stop things like this from happening?
[ sms: Cross ] ⦠Baleman should be locked up. Iām sure that heās done plenty in the past and will do worse in the future. I took his statement and he made even my skin crawl. There is not a doubt in my mind that heās a huge danger to any woman he comes into contact with.
[ sms: Cross ] ⦠I wish my hands were not completely tied. I canāt even go off about this because heaven forbid my subordinates hear me and next thing I know Torres or Weber is taking the law into their own hands.Ā
[ sms: Cross ] ⦠Which, as much as I understand why and wish I could have done the same myself, Iām going to remind you that beating him into a pulp did not help matters for us. If he planned on pushing you over the edge like that he got what he wanted out of it.Ā
