Foster Mom [#Wattys2016] (completed) ✔️

27

As I pull in front of my house I see Police tape around the house.

What happened at my place?

I pull my phone out and call Johnny.

Johnny: Hello!

Me: Johnny, I need you to come to my place now.

I see a car pull behind mine and I see Ethan and Johnny. They walk over to the car and I step out. I look at my brother. "I need you take the twins to Mom and Dad's. I'm going to find out what happened at the house and I don't want the girls to get mixed up in this."

Johnny hugs me. "I have to call Mason. He will meet you at the Police Station. I don't want you to answer their questions without him present." He turns to Ethan. "Don't let them hurt her. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Thank you, Johnny." I whisper.

Johnny climbs into the car and he pulls away.

I walk towards the house and an officer stops us.

He looks at me and says. "Where are going?"

I point to the house that the tape is all around. "That's my house that you've taped off. What happened in my house?"

"We got a phone call at 1:30 pm, for a domestic at this house. When we entered the house we found a woman on the ground. I have to take you in. I'm sorry miss."

"You're doing your job. I can't fault you in that."

He looks at Ethan. "We saw pictures of twins in the pocket of the victim and the eyes were scratched out. There was a heart around your face.

I thought Ethan got him yesterday at my brother's place. Unless there's a second stalker that I never noticed.

I stiffen at that thought.

Ethan puts his arms around me. "We'll find who it is. You have Johnny and I. We're not going anywhere, Laken."

I nod.

Ethan looks at the officer. "Can I drive her to the station or does she have to ride with you."

The officer looks at him. "She's going to come with me. I can't let her out of sight." He looks at me. "I'm going to have to ask you to get in the back of the car." he leads me over to the car and opens the door for me.

I step into the car and I wave to Ethan as the car pulls away. I turn around and see Ethan climb into his car and he follows us to the station.

At the police station the officer takes me to the interview room and he puts a tape recorder on the table and he looks at me. He presses record and says. "This is Detective Benson and I'm here this evening with a woman named Laken Santiago. This is about her house where we found a victim at the bottom of the stairs. Earlier this afternoon we got a phone call about a domestic. When we showed up at the house no one was there. So, we forced entry into the premises." He looks at me and says. "What's your full name?"

I remain quiet.

I won't be answering anything until my Lawyer walks through the door.

The officer shuts off the recorder and he rises. He stands above me. "This is proving that you're guilty of the crime that happened at your place."
