Teo realized something had happened in the kitchen; he also remembered Sherrie and Carrie.  If he went rushing in, he might scare her even more and perhaps trigger Carrie.  (It's not that he didn't want Carrie to come out sometimes; she tries to protect her sister the best she can, so if she feels threatened by even an innocent situation - he was afraid of what might happen.)<br/><br/>But he needed to act quickly nonetheless.  He decided to talk out loud from the living room in an ot so startled voice.  "Sherrie, it was just an accident.  I'm going to come into the kitchen, try not to move."  He thought he heard glass fall on the floor.  "I don't want you getting cut, okay?  I'm only coming in to help, I'm not going to hurt you."  Briskly, he rounded the corner to the kitchen.  He had gone momentarily into the living room to let Sherrie finish dinner.<br/><br/>There were broken plate pieces all around; the food on the stove was still cooking.  Sherrie was sobbing uncontrollably and she kept repeating over and over again, "I am sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to break them. Please don't hurt me I didn't mean too."  She had managed to pick up some of the bigger pieces, but she was crouched down and Teo was afraid glass would get into her knees.<br/><br/>Teo was a little tougher when it came to broken glass.  "I'm not going to hurt you Sherrie;  I want you to be safe, okay?"  Teo gently turned off the stove; he didn't want it to remain on while he tried to figure out how to help.  Then, he took the plate pieces from Sherrie and quickly disposed of them.  Then returning to her he said, "Please, let me just console you and take care of you, okay?"  He walked through the glass pieces and bent down gently.  He noticed the cell phone was on and it was at the last text message that said:<br/><br/>"How many times do I have to remind you, you belong to me and no one else. I warned you in the hospital that if you saw him again he was dead Sherrie, DON'T FORGET"  As if it was good timing, the cell phone back light went out indicating it had been idle for a couple of minutes now.<br/><br/>He hoped he didn't surprise her when he hugged her, kissing her on the cheek a few times, and checking her hands to make sure there were no cuts.  "It's okay Sherry; you're special to me.  I don't want anyone hurting you."  While holding her, he rocked her back and forth a little.<br/><br/>What was he going to do next?
