"Has Anna called you?" she asked.
"No, why? What's the matter?"
"Her house was vandalized . . . she's sure it has to be him."
"Jesus! I'll be right there. Why didn't she call me?"
"Knowing her, she's trying to deal with it alone. She doesn't want this to be a problem for you. I'm going over there right now."
"I'll be right over too, I need to make sure they're safe."
Daniel hung up the phone and grabbed his coat.
"Could you guys stay here with Tina for an hour? Something happened over at Anna's place, and I need to check it out. Looks like her ex-husband found her."
"Should I come along?" Harry asked.
"Maybe you should. Do you mind, Ashley?"
"Go for it, just be careful you two," she said.
"We will be, don't mention what it's about to Tina yet, please."
"Good idea," Ashley said.
Daniel stopped in the back to tell Tina he'd be right back and took off with Harry.

When they arrived, Anna was in the backyard prying open a can of paint to cover up a filthy word scrawled across her fence.
"Hey, Anna," he said, approaching her and Octavia.
"Did you call him?" Anna asked her sister.
"He should know about this, Sis."
Anna sighed and looked at both Daniel and Harry. She looked humiliated.
"At least Ben is in bed, I'd hate for him to see me like this," Anna said, shaking her head and looking at the graffiti.
Her white fence had been spray painted with the word 'Whore,' She pulled out a brush to cover it with white paint.
Daniel took the brush from her and insisted he'd do it, but first, he wanted to hug her. Anna broke down in his arms, and he tried to kill her ex-husband for everything he'd done to her.
"Honey, you need to let me know when something like this happens."
"Daniel, this is not your problem . . . you have your own life to think of. It's bad enough Ben has this going on in his life, Tina doesn't need it too."
"What are you saying?" he asked.
"I don't know," she sighed.
Tears were welling up in Anna's eyes, and Daniel asked Octavia to take her inside while he painted the fence with Harry.

"This is bullshit!" Octavia growled. "I can't believe that son of a bitch is trying to mess with your life here! You need to call the police, Anna."
