she said yes which is a massive step because she had refused up until then a man from the raid team took her to a room and she was in there for one hour and ten minutes and i wasn't allowed in 'he said she wouldn't engage she said it was a waste of time and he said 'i was having a bad day' 'before she went to sleep she was really upset i asked what she was crying for and she said 'i'm sorry,
