THE SCAR THAT NEVER BLED

THE REPORT

November 20th 1977

ROBIN POV:
_____________________________________________

I was on my way to Marliyn's house after school. Do I have a reason yes,for not seeing her at school for three straight days, she could be under the weather and doing shitty but she would usually call me or Finn to let us know she's not coming to school today. We both got no calls during those days.

It was snowing slightly and it was slightly. I walked onto the front porch of her house and knocked on the door

"Marilyn you in!?. Mar?... curly?!" I called out multiple times while pounding on the door waiting for Marliyn to open. I peaked in the window beside the door..I didn't see any slight of Marliyn coming to the door. I didn't see anyone coming to the door for that matter

The door didn't open, I was about to give up but then I thought..I wonder witch room is Marliyn I said looking up at he windows
_____________________________________________

I climbed onto the roof of her house and began looking into every window until
l I see marliyn.I know I sound like I'm a peeping Tom or something but I'm not I swear.

I got to a window that was a bedroom. That looked like Marliyn, she wasn't in there.

I got down from the roof and was walking back to the front of the house again, as I went to unlock the back gate and open it I saw a black van with abracadabra painted on the side speed by,it stopped at a stop sign. Then proceeded to drive by

'No,no,no it can't be.The grabber surely didn't get Marliyn' I thought to myself
_____________________________________________

I decided to follow the black Van. It wasn't driving fast nor slow but it drove at the steady medium pace. I turned a bush and there was the black Van, it was going down the street smoothly.

Suddenly.The van started to speed up and took a sharp turn making the tires screech.I began to run to keep up with it, I wondered why the van sped up so sudden. As I took that turn I lost the van in traffic.

"Damn it" I murmured out kicking a pile of dirt near by. I knew what I needed to do
_____________________________________________

"Diego!, Diego!" I called out as I got home and slammed the front door behind me. I searched the living room. He wasn't there. I searched the kitchen he wasn't there. He wasn't working because his car was out front so I knew he was here somewhere in this small house

"Diego!" I called out again as I opened the door that lead to his bedroom. He wasn't even there. I furrowed my eyebrows together and my eyes withered back and forth.

I then suddenly felt a hard surface hit my back. I turned around and saw Diego

"What is your problem kid?, I was down in the basement I can hear you all the way to next year!" He says sternly with a slight yell in his tone

"Diego, Diego this is serious, the grabber-

"Oh not this story again- he says waving his hand infront of me and going to the kitchen, he gets out the peanut butter from the cabinet

"The grabber is not a story he's real, and you got to listen to me Diego..The grabber kidnapped Marliyn"

Diego paused his movement almost dropping the untoasted bread.He looked up towards the wall in front of him then back to me

"We gotta report to the station"

"W-well O-okay, I guess we should"
_____________________________________________

At the station. I beat Diego inside. The station wasn't busy at all There were only a few people I sped walk up to the counter . There was nobody there,to a response I rung the bell multiple times,

It felt almost immediate someone from the back came out.

It was a lady with a white button up the police vest over it with her badge and a walkie talkie also attached to it. She said something into it that I didn't make out

She was smoking a cigarette, she had a clipboard in her hand as she sat down in the chair

"How may I help you?" She says

"I'll  report a missing person"

"Full name?" She replys, grabbing a pen from behind her

"Uh,Marliyn Jane hopper"

She paused for a moment

"Would she be related to VANCE hopper?"

I nodded

She sighs

"what else, what does she look like,when or where was she last seen,what was she last seen wearing? was there anyone with her when she was taken?"

"Uhmm she has curly black hair,dark brown eyes, slim but to slim figure. About 5'3 or so, pale skin, last thing I saw her wearing was dark washed bell bottom jeans, black boots, maroon colored leathered jacket, with a black tank top underneath. We both and a few friends of mine went for breakfast at Shirley's diner I think around the 14th, she randomly got upset and begun to leave..I offered to walk her home but she declined..so no,nobody was with her"

"The 14th?!" , and you're just finding out now?"

"I thought she may have been sick"

The lady nodded "what school does she attend?"

"North Denver high, same as me"

"And what's your relation to Marliyn hopper?"

"boy-i mean...friend.just friend"

"Alrighty!, thank you for your report-.. she says clearly wanting me to give up my name

"Robin, Robin Arellano"

She nodded and smiled then disappeared towards the back again
