In horror, I continued to press the next button on the camera, revealing the hideous photos.
All of the pictures from the trip had only me in them. One, tilted at an angle to fit tens of people in the image, had me at the far bottom corner. "WHERE ARE YOU!?" I screamed at the pictures, finding no trace of my friends in them.
"GODDAMNIT they're making me really anxious..."
"Ms. Dall please stop touching the evidence," one man ripped the camera away from my hands.
"Ruby," T's hand dragged me away and I was bewildered when I turned around and saw my friends standing behind me.
"GUYS!" I immediately hugged Alie, who was the closest to me. "Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!"
"Are you guys hurt anywhere? The doctors thought I was schizophrenic because they didn't believe you guys existed!"
Stormy opened her mouth to say something but the shadows pulled her in and another hand grabbed at my shoulder. "What is she doing?" somebody said in a gruff voice.
"She's the crazy girl from before," another guy said as he took my arm and dragged me into the investigation building.
