Unforgettable
CHAPTER 21
-------------------
"Girls! WHAT is
going on?" Detective Pernell stared at us from behind his
desk.
We had just run about a mile to get to the station. Panting and
out of breath, I started,
"Welll.." *pant* "We were just.." *pant*
"at Emma's.. and" *pant*
"Okay, catch your breath," he said.
We took a moment to begin breathing normally, then I started
again.
"So we were just at Emma's and she and Kendall confessed
to kidnapping Braydon. Emma told us and then Kendall went like,
psycho..then we kind of just ran away."
"What exactly did Emma say?"
Lauren jumped in. "Well, we were talking about Braydon and
wondering if he'd be found, and Emma started freaking out, so
she just fessed up and basically said, 'Kendall and I
kidnapped Braydon and now we don't know what to
do.'"
Detective Pernell nodded. "So.. you didn't ask where he
was?"
"Uhhm.. no..," I said.
"That's alright," he said. "Well, I suppose
we'll have to take them in for questioning. We don't have
any evidence but they might confess. Who knows? Thanks girls.
I'll keep the both of you posted. Looks like we've found
our criminals. But.. what would they have done that for? Why? And
where is he anyways? This is a real mess."
"Um.. Detective..?" Lauren asked.
"Mmm?"
"When are you gonna take them in?"
"Probably tomorrow. Why?"
"It's just that... I'm kind of scared now!"
Lauren said.
"Me too!" I confessed.
The detective chuckled. "Nothing will happen. Thanks so much
for your hard work. See you girls soon."
"You're welcome," Lauren and I said in unison, and
we left.
Deciding to walk home, it was past dinnertime when we got back to
my house and my parents demanded to know where I'd been.
Lauren was sent home, and I finally decided to explain everything
to my mom. She sat next to me on my bed, and it was the first
real time in about 5 years that I had shared my feelings
with her. It was so nice, and I couldn't believe she
understood.
"I think you did the right thing, by telling the police,
hun," she told me.
I nodded. "Thanks, Mom."
She gave me a big hug.
"Don't worry; everything will turn out fine," she
promised.
And this time, I actually believed that it would.
