Leo, Eli and Jace talked to the police. They explained everything that had happened from their treatment to the fight with Haile, leaving out the paperwork. The men listened and nodded, scanning the group of kids. One approached Ella's body. "This is Eleanore?" he asked no one in particular.
Jace nodded. "And that's the man that shot her," he said, pointing to the still unconscious, and now tied up, ringmaster.
“And that’s my abusive father.”, Griffin croaked.
Ana stood back, some what intimidated by the police officers.
The officer stood up and put his hands on his hips. "Well, kids, you guys did a pretty unbelievable job. We're just going to do a sweep of the place, get some paramedics for Ella and the girl who was choked." He smiled and clapped Jace on the shoulder reassuringly before walking away
(Wait, Who’s the girl who was choked?)
(you. Haile almost choked you didn't he?)
(Oops yeah. Wait— how does the officer know he was born a girl? He got surgery, he looks like a boy)
(oh right sorry I got mixed up)
(S’ok)
Griffin groaned, struggling to his feet.
"So…is this it? Are we finally free of this place?" Eli asked indirectly.
The police chuckled darkly. “Patience. We’ll get you out in a minute.”
Elliot nodded and Ana tried to contain her excitement. We're finally leaving! I can't believe it!
Griffin turned to the officer. “Just Do is all a favour and make sure we never see those men again.”
(May I join?)
(May I join, or are you to far in?)
(Hello?)
(Sorry sorry. You can join, but if you don't mind it'd be easier if you were a ghost. Or possibly a police officer that stays alive?)
(Sorry sorry. You can join, but if you don't mind it'd be easier if you were a ghost. Or possibly a police officer that stays alive?)
(Um…. well, I had a better idea…..)
(Ok, what was it?)
(Ok, what was it?)
(You shall see….)
(Ok. Have you read through the whole thing?)
Griffin turned to the officer. “Just Do is all a favour and make sure we never see those men again.”
"Of course, kid. That's our top priority, considering what you've told us." The police officer waved at his group to start doing a sweep of the place. "Is there anything you can tell me about these men? Especially the ringmaster, as we've yet to identify him?"
(Abigail?)
(Hello?)
“That man’s name is Anthony Haile, former husband of Melissa Haile and father of Caroline and me. I’m Griffin, but you probably know me as Gwendolyn.”
"I see. Caroline is your sister. Where can we find her?"
“He knows. The last time I saw her she was with my mom. My mum is— gone now.”
The officer pursed his lips and nodded. He jotted some things down and walked off to talk with his group.
Leo sighed. "I hope they can do something for us."
