Erenn Grayson please report to the principles office. In the middle of my math class the announcements blared my name through the halls and into the classrooms. Everybody was quiet as soon as it went off. Friends, with concerned faces, stared at me as I got up. Come to think of it, everybody was. Out of the classroom and halfway through the hall 2 men in black suites, with their arms crossed, stood by the principle's office. Along with the principle himself. What did I do now? I've gotten in trouble with the law before, but for minor things. Destruction of property, theft, tagging.. they're not small things are they..? The two men turned around toward me keeping their arms crossed. Again. Their faces so blank. The second officer only looked for a quick second and turned back. Wonder what his problem was. "Yes?"
"Hello Erenn. These two officers are here to discus to you about a situation regarding your.. parents." My parents? "What about them? Are they ok? Are they hurt? Where's my little brother, Owen?" The officers didn't answer my questions. Instead they led me into the conference room and the second officer followed behind. We all sat at a round table; The officers across from me. "I'm special Agent Slider and this is my partner Enriquez."
Enriquez glanced over to me for a second once again. He kept his head down looking at his hands that were crossed on the glass table. Before I could say hello Officer Slider cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "Ms. Erenn I regret to inform you that Your mother and your father have been in an accident... The doctors tried the very best that they could to stabilize them, but could not save them. They died right after the collision. Your Brother Owen has been taken to our station. In order to proceed things regarding you two we have to take you in as well." No... It's not true. It can't be. I got up for a second but the room wouldn't stop spinning. The room became blurry as well. I reached for the chair but It slipped from right under me taking me down with it. The echo from the chair rang through my ears. I laid on the ground, able to only hear my own heartbeat.
"Ms.Grayson!" Enriquez held onto my head speaking but I couldn't make out what he was saying. My heartbeat blocked out everything. "Can you hear me? Slider go call 911 now! Stay with me Erenn!" The man who wouldn't look at me for more than 3 seconds came to my aid. His face, so baby like. His scar, so distinctive.. The only thing I remember is staring off into the ceiling.
