The Blake Project: Book 2

Chapter 22

Megan's POV

I stood there shaking as I watched the police officers handcuff all of my friends.

There were six cop cars lined up on the main road and two ambulances which in my opinion wasn't enough.

"You have the right to remain silence" I heard an officer say to Blake as he forcefully handcuffed his hands together.

"No, this wasn't supposed to happen" I mumbled rubbing my temples, hoping that this was all some kind of nightmare.

I frantically looked around me and noticed Emma unconscious in one of the many stretchers. I slowly walked over, scared of what I was about to hear.

"Her father is aware at the hospital, he has medical teams ready at the door." The paramedic said to one of their co-workers.

"Is she ok? How's her head?" I asked them

"We don't know ma'am, we have to run some tests at the hospital." He said making me bite my lip to hold back tears.

For the first time in my life I felt full hatred towards Angie. All of this mess is her fault.

I scanned all the chaos in front of me to find someone that I could talk to. I noticed Trevor, Jack, Eric, and Frank all being pushed into cop cars just like Blake. I saw Lola but she was in critical condition and was being pushed on a stretcher towards us.

"C'mon kid you have to say something" I heard a voice say making me turn my head towards the source. I saw Henry sitting at the edge of the second ambulance while a paramedic was checking him.

I made my way over to Henry who had a blank expression on his face, almost lifeless.

"Henry? It's ok" I said softly

"I killed him" he mumbled looking down at his hands

"You don't know that" I said trying to make him worry less.

"Henry Clark?" An officer said from behind me

"Yes sir" Henry nodded

"Let's have a little talk, alright?" He said motioning me to go away.

I reluctantly walked away and was stopped by a reporter.

"What happened in there? Did you know the victim?" She asked forcing her mic in my face.

"She's not answering any questions" an officer said pulling me away from the reporter.

"Thanks" I mumbled

"What's your name?" She asked placing her hand on her hip.

"Megan Devine" I simply answered.

"Are you one of the them?" She asked pointing her hand to all my friends

"Yes ma'am" I sighed nodding my head.

"I'm not arresting you, but we have to take you in for questioning ok?" She said

"Ok, but I rather not be in the same car as the blonde girl" I said making the officer smile softly.

"Don't worry" she said guiding me to one of the cars.

She opened the door for me so that I could slide in and then closed the door. I closed my eyes replaying everything that just happened.

If we're lucky everything will fall into place, we all just need to agree on telling the truth.

I heard the officer get into the drivers seat and buckle up before turning her head to glance back at me.

"This should only take awhile" she said before following all the other cars towards the station.
