After the van drove off...
"It's all my fault"
"He's gone now"
"He's been taken to who knows where"
"I wish I was stronger"
"I wish-"
"Damnit"
Said Douglas as tears filled his eyes beating himself up with his own words after failing to keep his friend safe."WHY DAMNIT"
"WHY WASNT I STRONG ENOUGH"
"IF I CAN'T EVEN PROTECT ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS THEN IM UNABLE TO KEEP ANYONE SAFE"
shouted the young boy as tears rolled down his face clenching his fist.Mr.Tusk knew that his son would run off with free to play outside rather than staying on the inside.
As the man went outside expecting to see both he only saw one boy,his son punching the ground with tears rolling down his face.
"DOUGLAS WHAT HAPPENED"
"ARE YOU HURT"
"WHERE'S FREE"
"HIS PARENTS SRE SEARCHING ALL OVER FOR HIM"
Said Felone as he rushed to his son holding him in his arms."Father..."
"I wasn't strong enough"
"Father"
The boy continued to sob"What are you talking about,boy"
"Where is he?"
"I don't know what game you two were playing but you sure did cause a ruckus"
Questioned Felone concerned of Free's whereabouts.Just as Free's parents had reached Felone,Douglas broke down into tears telling them the entire tragedy
"HE'S BEEN WHAT"
Richard Valerius said calmly
"Richard,we lost our one and only son"
"Maybe we're not fit as parents after all""Don't say that seraphina, We'll just make a quick report and the police will find him in no time"
"We have the technology"
"And that's if he even decides to come back"
Said Richard as he tried to calm down his wifeIt was 12:00 am midnight,no signs were left behind with only Douglas being a witness to the tragedy.Both families arrived at the police department reporting the kidnapping
Douglas was brought to an interrogation room to gather more information regarding the kidnapper as he was the only witness.
The room was quite,a room with 4 off- white walls with one having a one way mirror , a white table with a chair on each side, there were lights on the ceiling with one bulb flashing on and off over and over again.There was a singular ceiling fan that creaked every few rotations.The atmosphere was tense for the boy what made it worse was that there was an officer staring the boy down through her dark sunglasses.He wasn't sure if she was looking at him at all but he just felt this presence
15 mins later...
An officer opened the door and then entered a man.The man appeared to be in his 40s with a few white hairs here and there on his head,He wore a white shirt with a dakr red vest showing his police badge and over that he wore a beige trench coat.The man wore thick square glasses and had a mustache.
The man greeted himself
"Hello young boy,My name is detective Gerrard,and you must be Douglas yes?"
"Im here to discuss about the recent tragedy that happened with you and you're friend"
"So tell me young man,what exactly happened"
Said the kind man calmly not trying to startle Douglas"It all happened to quickly"
"One second I was chasing him"
"a second later everything went dark"
"Next thing I knew was that he was gone"
Replied Douglas to the detective."Why don't you tell me the story,slowly"
"As much as you remember"
And so Douglas told the man all he knew,sobbing throughout most of the story."Now that that's out of the way,I need to ask you one more question"
"What did the culprit look like"
