Beware of the House (The unedited version)

Chapter 24 - All Lies

A/N Sorry I took so long to update and stuff but I was really busy over the school holidays :) Here's a new chapter anyway :) :) :)

***

After I finished getting ready, we all set off for the police station. Serenah had brushed her hair, for once, making her long, wavy, light-brown hair fall neatly down her back. Taka had gotten sick of her hair being long so, while I was getting ready, she got out the kitchen scissors and chopped it all off so it only just touches her shoulders. I just wacked my hair up in a bun and we’re all wearing jeans and T-shirts.

After arriving, we walked up to the huge glass doors which automatically opened for us, nice cold air-conditioner blowing on our faces.

“Ohh crap…” Serenah mumbled just after we entered.

“What’s wrong…?” I asked but stopped when I saw what she was looking at, there on the wall was the ‘LOST’ poster of her which wasn’t knew or anything, we saw it last time. What surprised me was that both Taka and I’s posters are still up there… Hmm, I didn’t think mum would think to report me missing.

“Oh, that,” I said, “We’ll just go tell the people to take them down – we’re back with our families’ now…”

“NO!” Serenah butted in, “That’ll just create more attention towards us. Look, everyone’s already staring at us,” Serenah gestured towards the few people sitting in the small waiting room. “If you don’t want that up anymore come back here in your own time,”

“Okay… I guess we’ll get to work than,” Taka said. By the way, yes we did find something for Serenah to do. While Taka is hypnotising and I’m hacking computers she’s going to be searching through and destroying any files which have been printed or written out.

We began, Taka blew some sort of dust on the people who were staring at us in the waiting room before leaning down and hovering her hands above the ground near the door. She stayed there a bit and then began to slowly raise her hands… before flicking them up towards the low ceiling creating a bubble like wall in front of the glass door.

The police officers behind their desks looked quite shocked, until Taka went up to them to probably start hypnotising them or something. While chanting and stuff, she gestured for us to walk on into the office and stuff; so we did.

We opened up the wooden door and saw a corridor; this one wasn’t too long though – unlike the one at the hospital. There were a few doors, one had big bold letters across it saying ‘JAIL CELLS’; I don’t plan on going on there. There were also a few more doors, three to be exact. One the word ‘TOILETS’ on it, and the other two were blank.

I gestured for Serenah to go in one and I entered the other. Inside were a few computers and a couple of filing cabinets. Perfect.

I began hacking the computer when Serenah walked in, “The other room is a questioning room or something,” She informed me; I just nodded as the computer logged in. I smiled as it finally finished logging in. “WOW, you got logged in that fast? Gee I should let you know next time I forget the password for my iPod,”

“Yeh alright now be quiet unless you want to create more work for Taka,” I snapped. I kinda get annoyed really fast when I’m trying to concentrate. I began searching through each of the files but found nothing… Hmm I’ll check the emails…

The door slammed open but I ignored it, still frustrated that it’s taking me this long.

“Hey, guys. You found anything,” I heard Taka say.

“Nope, nothing,” Serenah replied.

“Nothing…” I mumbled.

“Well, this has been fun and all but why don’t we start heading home before everyone starts snapping out of their dazes, waking up etc.”
