Escape (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Break

"Ready?"Luke asked. I took a look around the car at the six faces I have come very accustomed to seeing in the past four months. They all had the same concerned, tired, and anxious expressions on their faces. I took a deep breath and nodded my head. "Ready."I said. We all exited wordlessly. I fixed my grey sweater I was wearing and met Luke in the front quickly. We walked in hand and hand with the rest of our friends following behind us.

Luke gently squeezed my hands causing me to look up at him. He gave me a small smile relaxing me a bit. The automatic doors slid open and the air conditioning blasted us making me shiver since we were just out in the rain. We walked up to the front desk and Ashton came to the front with Caitlyn. "We were told to come in for questioning for the case on Chase Webster."Ashton said to the lady at the front desk of the police department.

She typed away at her computer never giving him a second glance. After a few moments of just watching her waiting for her to react or do something, she nodded and got up. She walked out from behind of the desk and began to walk down the hall to her right. "Are we supposed to follow you?"Calum asked. She turned around and rolled her eyes continuing to walk on. We assumed that meant for us to follow so thats just what we did.

We passed numerous conference rooms along the way when we came to a solid metal door. She opened it and we entered after her single file. Ashton, Caitlyn, Olivia, Calum, Myself, Luke, and then Michael last. The room was small and had chairs lining the left side of the room. On the right there was nothing but another metal door. "Sit."The lady instructed not so nicely. We all quickly complied and sat in the order we came in. "The detective will be with you all soon. Don't do anything stupid. Just sit."She said as she exited.

Michael mimicked her annoying voice and stubbornness as soon as she was out of ear shot. We all chuckled at his attempt to lighten the mood and fell into comfortable silence. "Thanks coming with us today guys."Caitlyn said. "Yeah, you didn't have to."Olivia said agreeing with her nervously. "Of course we did."Calum said softly. "Like Jasey said, we're a family, and we're all in this together."Luke said reassuringly rubbing circles with his thumb on my hand.

Caitlyn shot him a glare as Ashton slightly giggled. "You did not just say 'we're all in this together.', Hemmings.""Caitlyn said. I chuckled at her comment and Luke gave a cheeky smile. "We gotta keep our head in the game."Calum added adjusting his grey beanie making us all laugh. It felt good. Last week when we got the call from Trevor and told him about Chase, he suggested we come in for questioning seeing as there were different events that we have all been involved in with Chase. Everyone has been down in the dumps since then. "Besides, we all have been in a situation where Chase was being a douche bag. So we all have to be questioned."Michael stated playing with the hem of his white flannel.

Before anyone could speak another word, someone cleared their throat at the door. It was another woman in a crisp business suit that reminded me of Hillary Clinton. Except her facial features were far from Hillary Clinton's. She was a very tall slim woman who's blond hair that was almost white that was slicked back into a long pony tail. She wore heavy dark makeup on her eyes but the rest of her face was clean without a trace of a single flaw.

Her skin was pale as paper and her cheekbones were very prominent. I heard Calum gasp beside me and I looked at him confused. The woman seemed shocked at first but quickly wiped it off her face. "Olivia, you didn't tell me that you were apart of this case."The woman said. That's when I connected the dots. The long elegancy of her body, the blond hair, and the blue eyes. She was Olivia's mom.

"I did tell you. You just never bothered to listen to me."Olivia muttered. "Well, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends."She smiled. Her smile was long and wide. She and Olivia may look alike in the appearance aspect but personality wise, they couldn't seem to be an more different.
